Liquids, cooling

Cooler Cools liquids or gases by means of water. 

Internal reflux is induced by means of externally cooled liquid pumparounds. A pumparound simply removes hot liquid from the tower, pumps it through a heat exchanger and then introduces this cooled liquid into the tower a few trays above. Use of pumparounds allows a better distribution of tower loadings than if all the heat were removed from the VPS using an overhead condenser. Four to six trays between sidestreams and two pumparounds are normally specified for a lube VPS. The three liquid sidestream products to be used as lube plant feed stocks are steam stripped to remove lighter boiling components which condense with tire sidestreams.

When forced coolant systems are used, care must be taken to provide the coolant at the proper temperature. If the cylinder is too cool, liquids could condense from the suction gas stream. Thus, it is desirable to keep the coolant temperature 10°F higher than that of the suction gas. If the cylinder is too hot, gas throughput capacity is lost due to the gas heating and expanding. Therefore, it is desirable to limit the coolant temperature to less than 30°F above that of the suction gas. 

Limonene forms a monohydrochloride, which is a liquid, and which exists in both optically active modifications. By the action of moist hydrochloric acid on the acetic or alcoholic solution of limonene, no optically active dihydrochloride is formed, the terpene becoming inactive and dipentene dihydrochloride, C (,H,g2HCl, results. This body is prepared when limonene is mixed with half its volume of glacial acetic acid, and a current of hydrochloric acid gas is passed over (not into) the well-cooled liquid, with frequent shaking. The resulting mass is pressed on a porous plate, dissolved in alcohol, and precipitated with water. It melts sharply at 50°. 

Figure 3-18 illustrates a seal installed in a conventional stuffing box with cooling liquid flow path. Figures 3-18, 3-19A, 3-19B, 3-20 and 3-21 identify the fundamentals of mechanical seals, even though there are many specific designs and details. These various designs are attempts to correct operational problems or seal weaknesses when... 

Thermal condition of feed (at boiling point, all vapor, sub-cooled liquid). 

The condition of the feed as it enters the column has an effect on the number of trays, reflux requirements and heat duties for a given separation. Figure 8-15 illustrates the possible situations, i.e., sub-cooled liquid feed, feed at the boiling point of the column feed tray, part vapor and part liquid, all vapor but not superheated, and superheated vapor. The thermal condition is designated as q, and... 

Because the feed is a super cooled liquid, Lj/Vs is not equal to Lr/Vj.. From definition of q ...

Because of its excellent heat conductivity, liquid sodium has been proposed as a cooling liquid for use in nuclear power plants. 

A polythene wash bottle is available commercially and is inexpensive. It is fitted with a plastic cap carrying a plastic jet, and has flexible sides. The bottle can be held in the hand application of slight pressure by squeezing gives an easily controllable jet of water. It is more or less unbreakable and is inert to many wash liquids. A polythene wash bottle should be used only for cool liquids. 

Obtain, by dimensional analysis, a functional relationship for the heat transfer coeflicien for forced convection at the inner wall of an annulus through which a cooling liquid is flowing. 

The present model takes into account how capillary, friction and gravity forces affect the flow development. The parameters which influence the flow mechanism are evaluated. In the frame of the quasi-one-dimensional model the theoretical description of the phenomena is based on the assumption of uniform parameter distribution over the cross-section of the liquid and vapor flows. With this approximation, the mass, thermal and momentum equations for the average parameters are used. These equations allow one to determine the velocity, pressure and temperature distributions along the capillary axis, the shape of the interface surface for various geometrical and regime parameters, as well as the influence of physical properties of the liquid and vapor, micro-channel size, initial temperature of the cooling liquid, wall heat flux and gravity on the flow and heat transfer characteristics. 

The effect of various parameters on the efficiency coefficient is illustrated in Fig. 10.15a-d. It may be seen, that an increase of heat flux on the wall leads to a significant decrease in 17. It is due to the meniscus displacement towards the inlet and growth of heat losses into the cooling liquid. The calculations show (Fig. 10.15a-c) that for given values of parameters there is some optimal value of a micro-channel s diameter and length, at which the coefficient of efficiency reaches maximum. 

Another containment strategy for condensible or water-soluble emissions is to use a water quench system with the discharge being sparged into a large volume of cool liquid.
