Heat in motion

See Org. Syn. Coll. Vol. i, 54. Alternate arrangement a round-bottomed, long-necked flask is supported at the top by a two-piece clamp with a loosened checknut, connected below to an eccentric, and heated in motion by means of a stationary microbumer. 

The experiments that people like Dr. Mayer performed established the technical basis for the industrial revolution. Dr. Mayer himself laid the foundation for the main pillar supporting this technical basis. This was the science of thermodynamics. But in the nineteenth century, they had not coined the word thermodynamics. They called it heat in motion. 1 The branch of science which we now call thermodynamics was developed by simply heating air under different conditions. 

For me, thermodynamics means "Heat in Motion." You can buy this book (by Professor John Tyndall) in paperback from Amazon. 1 have an original sixth-edition copy (1880). The full title is Heat, a Mode of Motion. 

Into a 500 ml. three-necked flask, provided with a mechanical stirrer, a gas inlet tube and a reflux condenser, place 57 g. of anhydrous stannous chloride (Section 11,50,11) and 200 ml. of anhydrous ether. Pass in dry hydrogen chloride gas (Section 11,48,1) until the mixture is saturated and separates into two layers the lower viscous layer consists of stannous chloride dissolved in ethereal hydrogen chloride. Set the stirrer in motion and add 19 5 g. of n-amyl cyanide (Sections III,112 and III,113) through the separatory funnel. Separation of the crystalline aldimine hydrochloride commences after a few minutes continue the stirring for 15 minutes. Filter oflF the crystalline solid, suspend it in about 50 ml. of water and heat under reflux until it is completely hydrolysed. Allow to cool and extract with ether dry the ethereal extract with anhydrous magnesium or calcium sulphate and remove the ether slowly (Fig. II, 13, 4, but with the distilling flask replaced by a Claisen flask with fractionating side arm). Finally, distil the residue and collect the n-hexaldehyde at 127-129°. The yield is 19 g. 

C. Fumaric acid from furfural. Place in a 1-litre three-necked flask, fitted with a reflux condenser, a mechanical stirrer and a thermometer, 112 5 g. of sodium chlorate, 250 ml. of water and 0 -5 g. of vanadium pentoxide catalyst (1), Set the stirrer in motion, heat the flask on an asbestos-centred wire gauze to 70-75°, and add 4 ml. of 50 g. (43 ml.) of technical furfural. As soon as the vigorous reaction commences (2) bvi not before, add the remainder of the furfural through a dropping funnel, inserted into the top of the condenser by means of a grooved cork, at such a rate that the vigorous reaction is maintained (25-30 minutes). Then heat the reaction mixture at 70-75° for 5-6 hours (3) and allow to stand overnight at the laboratory temperature. Filter the crystalline fumaric acid with suction, and wash it with a little cold water (4). Recrystallise the crude fumaric acid from about 300 ml. of iif-hydrochloric acid, and dry the crystals (26 g.) at 100°. The m.p. in a sealed capillary tube is 282-284°. A further recrystaUisation raises the m.p. to 286-287°. 

There are basically two different causes of turbulent eddies. Eddies set in motion by air moving past objects are the result of mechanical turbulence. Parcels of superheated air rising from the heated earth s surface, and the slower descent of a larger portion of the atmosphere surrounding these more rapidly rising parcels, result in thermal turbulence. The size and, hence, the scale of the eddies caused by thermal turbulence are larger than those of the eddies caused by mechanical turbulence. 

The key variable in determining the applicability of a receptor hood to a particular source is the temperature of the heated source, and the resulting updraft. The temperature must be high enough to cause an appreciable updraft, or the hood will be ineffective. An estimate must be made of the total amount of buoyant airflow set in motion by the heated source the airflow through the hood must be greater than this buoyant airflow, in order to ensure complete contaminant capture. This principle is illustrated in Fig. 10.32, which shows the air spill that occurs when a hood s exhaust airflow is less than the thermal updraft airflow. 

High Receptor Hoods The important variable that distinguishes receptor hoods from other exterior hoods is the upward airflow set in motion by the heated source. Let us first consider the more general (and difficult) case of a high hood. Assume for simplicity that the source and the hood are circular in cross-section. The basic geometry used in this case is shown in Fig. 10.36. 

The solution to the above equations will result in a value for the airflow set in motion by the heated source. The actual airflow through the hood, must be larger than to ensure complete contaminant capture. Heinsohn recommends that... 

Rumford suggested that anything that an isolated body can supply without limitation could not possibly be a material fluid. The only thing that could be communicated in this fashion was motion, in this case the motion of the steel borer that first produced heat in the form of molecular motion of the cannon... 

The production of heat in the system itself when a mass of viscous fluid is set in motion by stirring, and then allowed to come to rest by friction in a vessel impervious to heat.
