Evaporative condensers

Bikerman [179] has argued that the Kelvin equation should not apply to crystals, that is, in terms of increased vapor pressure or solubility of small crystals. The reasoning is that perfect crystals of whatever size will consist of plane facets whose radius of curvature is therefore infinite. On a molecular scale, it is argued that local condensation-evaporation equilibrium on a crystal plane should not be affected by the extent of the plane, that is, the crystal size, since molecular forces are short range. This conclusion is contrary to that in Section VII-2C. Discuss the situation. The derivation of the Kelvin equation in Ref. 180 is helpful. 

Phosphorized deoxidized arsenical copper (alloy 142 (23)) is used for heat exchangers and condenser tubes. Copper-arsenical leaded Muntz metal (alloy 366), Admiralty brass (alloy 443), naval brass (alloy 465), and aluminum brass (alloy 687), all find use in condensers, evaporators, ferrules, and heat exchanger and distillation tubes. The composition of these alloys is Hsted in Table 5. 

The activated coating layer must possess two additional properties. It must adhere tenaciously to the monolithic honeycomb surface under conditions of rapid thermal changes, high flow, and moisture condensation, evaporation, or freezing. It must have an open porous stmcture to permit easy gas passage iato the coating layer and back iato the main exhaust stream. It must maintain this porous stmcture even after exposure to temperatures exceeding 900°C. 

Condenser performance should be expressed as evaporating effect to enable matching with compressor and evaporator performance. Condenser evaporating effect is the refrigeration capacity of an evaporator served by a particular condenser. It is the function of the cycle, evaporating temperature, and the compressor. The evaporating effect could be calculated from the heat-rejection ratio qc / e -... 

The performance of the condensing-unit (compressor and condenser) subsystem could be developed as shown in Fig. 11-96 by superimposing two graphs, one for compressor performance and the other for condenser evaporating effecl .

A Bureau of Mines system for the separation of hehum from natural gas is shown in Fig. 11-119. Since the major constituents of natural gas have boiling points very much different from that of helium, a distillation column is not necessary and the separation can be accomphshed with condenser-evaporators. 

Just as at low pH, concentration mechanisms substantially increase attack. The two principal mechanisms of concentration are evaporation and condensation. Evaporation increases solute concentrations of compounds with vapor pressures lower than water (such as caustic compounds). Condensation increases concentration of aggressive gases such as ammonia.

Figure 234 is showing a closed sorption system using water vapor as adsorptive. The heat has to be transferred to and from the adsorbent by an heat exchanger. This holds also for the condenser/evaporator. Heat has to be transported to the adsorber and at the same time the heat of condensation has to be distracted from the condenser in order to keep up the water vapor flow... 

There are a number of other types of measurement made in soil that involve electrodes that are not directly in contact with the soil. An example is the thermocouple psychrometer, which involves a Thomson thermocouple in a ceramic cell buried in soil. The thermocouple cools when a current is passed through it, causing water to condense on the thermocouple. When the electricity is turned off, the condensate evaporates at a rate inversely proportional to the relative humidity in the soil. A voltage generated by the cooling junction is measured and related to the soil moisture content. This moisture content is related to both the matrix and osmotic potentials of the soil being investigated. 

Following mono-layer uptake, further increase in pressure results in multi-layer adsorption of N2. For this part of the isotherm, condensation-evaporation equilibrium is assumed to take place, instead of adsorption-desorption equilibrium for each individual layer other than the first layer. This dynamic equiUbria for the first and higher layers and some simplifying assumptions form the basis for the B ET treatment of the multi-layer adsorption isotherm. A lengthy derivation leads to the BET relation between adsorbed volume of N2 and relative pressure. Here relative pressure is defined as the ratio of the equilibrium pressure to the... 

Latent heat associated with phase change in two-phase transport has a large impact on the temperature distribution and hence must be included in a nonisothermal model in the two-phase regime. The temperature nonuniformity will in turn affect the saturation pressure, condensation/evaporation rate, and hence the liquid water distribution. Under the local interfacial equilibrium between the two phases, which is an excellent approximation in a PEFG, the mass rate of phase change, ihfg, is readily calculated from the liquid continuity equation, namely...

Lowell and Shields have shown that vapor condensation-evaporation and mercury intrusion-extrusion into and out of pores are thermodynamically equivalent processes. 

Following the convention in gas adsorption-desorption isotherms, the mercury isotherm, illustrated in Fig. 12.5, is plotted as volume versus relative pressure so that the radius increases from left to right. Curve I in Fig. 12.5 represents the condensation isotherm from the extrusion curve and curve II is the evaporation isotherm from the intrusion data. Since no adsorption takes place on the pore walls prior to the filling of pores in mercury porosimetry as occurs in gas adsorption, the usual knee of the isotherm is absent. However, condensation-evaporation isotherms from mercury porosimetry are strikingly similar to adsorption-desorption... 

The sulphate process consists in kiering pieces of wood in a solution composed of sodium hydroxide, sodium sulphide and sodium carbonate in a 65 15 20 ratio. The concentration of the solution is 10-12% of NaOH. Boiling at a temperature of 170-175°C under pressure lasts about 6 hr, of which 3 hr are required for heating, the other 3 hr being the kiering proper. Cellulose is then separated from the lye, washed with water, bleached, and subjected to final purification. The lye is condensed, evaporated to dryness, then sodium sulphate is added, and the whole is calcined. The sodium sulphate is thus reduced to sodium sulphide. Unchanged sulphate and the excess of carbonate are removed by addition of milk of lime.
