Common TEMA designations are AET and BET, and typical applications include exchangers handling chemical fluids, hydrocarbon fluid condensers, air or gas compressors, and inter-and after-coolers. 

Capillary forces increase in relationship to the relative humidity (RH) of the ambient air. At greater than 65% RH, fluid condenses in the space between adjacent particles. This leads to liquid bridges causing attractive forces due to the surface tension of the water. 

When the distribution of fluid is blocked, and the fluid condenses and turns into phlegm, the patient may suffer from dry nasal cavities and dry skin, as well as cough with scanty, thin sputum. A white and slightly dry tongue coating and a superficial and wiry pulse are often seen in this syndrome. 

Starting with a basic energy balance, derive an expression for the effectiveness of a heat exchanger in which a condensing vapor is used to heat a cooler fluid. Assume that the hot fluid (condensing vapor) remains at a constant temperature throughout the process. 

Steam is produced in the copper tubes (k = 386 W. ni °C) of a heat exchanger at a temperature of I20°C by another fluid condensing on the outside surfaces of the tubes at 175°C. The inner and outer diameters of the tube are 2.5 cm and 3.3 cm, lespeclively. Vlien the heat exchanger was new, the rate of heat transfer per meter length of the. mbe was 2 X 1 O W. Determine the rale of heat transfer per meter length of the tube when a 0.25 ram-lliick layer of limestone (k = 2.9 W/m °C) has formed on the inner surface of the lube after extended use. 

Variation of fluid temperatures in a heat exchanger when one of the fluids condenses or boils. 

However in many heat and mass transfer processes in fluids, condensing or boiling at a solid surface play a decisive role. In thermal power plants water at high pressure is vaporized in the boiler and the steam produced is expanded in a turbine, and then liquified again in a condenser. In compression or absorption plants and heat pumps, boilers and condensers are important pieces of equipment in the plant. In the separation of mixtures, the different composition of vapours in equilibrium with their liquids is used. Boiling and condensing are, therefore, characteristic for many separation processes in chemical engineering. As examples of these types of processes, the evaporation, condensation, distillation, rectification and absorption of a fluid should all be mentioned.

It should be noted that LLC phases are different from the ubiquitous individual, phase-separated aggregate structures commonly formed by amphiphilic molecules or surfactants, such as micelles, reverse micelles, vesicles, and lipid microtubules. These discrete aggregate structures formed from amphiphiles lack periodic order, and are not condensed-phase materials—two defining characteristics of LLC phases. For the purposes of this review, LLC phases will he defined as fluid, condensed-phase materials composed of amphiphilic molecules that have periodic order and are formed via phase separation of the amphiphiles around an added solvent as a secondary component (i.e., mixtures). Consequently, functional normal micelle, reverse micelle,... 

Such a thermal engine cycle is shown in Figure l3-9. Evaporation, expansion, condensation, and pressure rise are repeated in a simple Rankine cycle. In the simplest form, "waste heat" is applied to a boiler which provides saturated or superheated vapor to the expander, and the fluid passes on to a condenser, which provides liquid to the pump. The pump raises the pressure and resupplies fluid to the boiler, thereby completing the cycle. The working fluid condenser heat is rejected to a cooling fluid in the condenser, either cooling water or air. The expander shaft work is ultimately used as shaft power to drive compressors or pumps, or to drive a generator to produce electrical power.

The question whether also the liquid-like fluid may exist in micropores has been solved theoretically. Using mean field and density gradient methods, Evans and his co-workers "(ref.21" have shown that adsorbed fluid "condensation" should disappear, when the diameter R of the cylindrical micropores approaches to d the molecular diameter. According to the simplest form of their theory the critical temperature T Cml of the fluid confined in cylindrical micropores is determined by the approximate relationship (T -T (m))/T d/R, where T is the bulk critical temperature. From this relation it follows that e.g. benzene (d O.4-0.68 nm, cf. "(ref.3)") adsorbed at room and higher temperatures on zeolites and microporous active carbons behaves as a supercritical fluid. But the co-operative condensation of benzene at room temperatures is not excluded in large supermicropores of radii R>1.2 nm, ... 

CO-workers, the co-operative condensation of benzene confined in the supermicropores of a.c. prepared from CgFg, seems to be presented. This follows from the low value imO.A2 of the Amagate equation. But this equation is not the most appropriate for the description of properties of fluids condensable in supermicropores. In the future the energetical heterogeneity of supermicro-porous active carbons should be accounted in the attempts to found the real state properties of fluids confined in supermicropores.
