Heating device

By insulation, heat transfer can be slowed down and attenuated, and in a pyrotechnic device, the heat itself can he gradually released though rarely slowly enough to make much difference. Also, these schemes are of little help when the heat transfer must be fast and still not excessive as to temperature. If we add the requirement that certain devices must be functional and effective at extremes of ambient temperatures, at least between —65 and +160°F as in certain power sources described below, the problem only becomes solvable by compromise. One could devise auxiliary heat sources activated through 

Brock mentions the use of burnt lime and water as a heat source for food cans. This reaction furnishes 0.26 kcal/g of calcium oxide (CaO), and w4iile not exactly classifiable as pyrochemical is said to be abk to produce a temperature as high as 450°C—enough to set fire to guncotton, sulfur, wood, and sometimes straw.  

In patents (rarely to be taken too seriously as to usefulness, practicability, or economic potential), one finds mixtures containing iron filings, aluminum powder, ammonium chloride, potassium chlorate, mercuric and cupric salts, and alkali permanganate in various combinations, all activated by water and purportedly useful for heating foodstuffs, to assist in hair-waving or to act as heat pads on the human body. -  

Serious attention has been given to modern approaches to chemical body beating systems, though in these reactions we move farther away from pyrotechnics proper. One of these systems, investigated 

Direct creation of steam within dj pyrochemical system seems to belong in the category of unsolved p/oblems because of the enormous cooling effect of the evaporating water. The term direct creation out of the pyrotechnic-system ptx per is used, since the application encased high heat producers to create steam for driving underwater projectiles, for instance, is quite another matter and has been proposed and patented.  

Basically, three ways are used for carrying out the wet digestion procedure. The first one is a very conventional device such as conical flask and refluxing device. This is mainly used for aqua regia digestion of a large amount of soil (3 g dry matter) as detailed in the ISO standard 11466 this apparatus can be applied to one sample or a batch of samples. 

Until recently, most laboratories were still using hot plate as their only method of sample preparation, a technique that, except for its sources of energy, dates back to the age of alchemy. Because of the indirect nature of heating in hot plate digestions, attainment of the final chemical conditions is relatively slow (Kingston Walter 1992 Kingston Haswell 1997). 

Open systems use focussed microwaves, which are guided on to the sample. Since pressure is not required to achieve high temperatures, non-sealed vessels can be used, with the benefit of being able to digest large amount of sample using a large volume of acid as indicated in the ISO standard (ISO 11466). 

To summarise, microwave sample preparation reduces blank contribution from environmental exposure, reagent use and losses from evaporation, and in addition, reduces sample preparation times. It also offers a more reproducible method for duplicating metals determination, both within a laboratory and between laboratories (Lamble Hill 1998). But, in the case of contaminated soil sample digestions, due to surface effects of PTFE, a microwave-cleaning step is highly recommended between each bath of samples in order to avoid any memory effects (carry over contamination) from previous digested samples. 

Nearly all, especially routine, methods for determination of metals, require digestion of the soil sample. The choice of the digestion technique should take into account the objective of the final determination incomplete digestion procedures, which require less time and labour, are often acceptable for site investigation. Even though partial procedure does not release elements tightly

Laser desorption to produce ions for mass spectrometric analysis is discussed in Chapter 2. As heating devices, lasers are convenient when much energy is needed in a very small space. A typical laser power is 10 ° W/cm. When applied to a solid, the power of a typical laser beam — a few tens of micrometers in diameter — can lead to very strong localized heating that is sufficient to vaporize the solid (ablation). Some of the factors controlling heating with lasers and laser ablation are covered in Figure 17.2. 

Vitreous silica is used for gas-heated or electrically heated devices ia various shapes, eg, as a tube or muffle because of its electrical resistivity, impermeabihty, and low expansion. In its simplest form, an electric-resistance furnace consists of a vitreous siUca tube or pipe on which the resistance element is wound (see Furnaces, ELECTRIC). Because of its iadifference to temperature gradients, a tubular furnace of vitreous siUca maybe made to operate at different temperatures at various portions of the tube, either by arrangement of the heating elements or by cooling sections of the tube with water. Vitreous siUca pipes may be employed ia vacuum-iaduction and gas-fired furnaces (see Vacuum technology) (221).

A die stamping was produced in just one action. Stock (2) was fed into die (1) and the deformation to obtain a cup was performed by a stamp (3) which moved in a sleeve (4) driven by a piston of a hydraulic cylinder. The strain obtained was measured with strain gauge (5). The temperature of the deformed alloy was maintained by heating device (7) and controlled with sensor (8).

From the list of laboratory operations previously prepared, it will now be easy to single out the ones that require power. The manuals for the equipment already on hand and catalog information on items yet to be purchased can provide the power requirements. Compared to what was available some years ago, modern laboratory equipment does not need much power. Exceptions are heating devices and motors, which may be very power hungry. A list of the wattages involved should be made, noting which equipment operates on 110 volts and which on 220. Allowance should be made for future purchases of equipment. This information will help the electrical engineer or contractor determine the number of circuits. 

A flow direction switch occurs at r/2 for a cycle period r set by the plant operator, or it may be initiated by the reactor or recuperator outlet temperature. Startup of the flow-reversal system requires a heating device to bring the catalyst bed or at least the frontal portion up to ignition temperature. This temperature is about 350°C for S02 oxidation using conventional catalysts. 

Other microwave-assisted parallel processes, for example those involving solid-phase organic synthesis, are discussed in Section 7.1. In the majority of the cases described so far, domestic multimode microwave ovens were used as heating devices, without utilizing specialized reactor equipment. Since reactions in household multimode ovens are notoriously difficult to reproduce due to the lack of temperature and pressure control, pulsed irradiation, uneven electromagnetic field distribution, and the unpredictable formation of hotspots (Section 3.2), in most contemporary published methods dedicated commercially available multimode reactor systems for parallel processing are used. These multivessel rotor systems are described in detail in Section 3.4.

Conventional flame techniques present problems when dealing with either small or solid samples and in order to overcome these problems the electrothermal atomization technique was developed. Electrothermal, or flameless, atomizers are electrically heated devices which produce an atomic vapour (Figure 2.36). One type of cuvette consists of a graphite tube which has a small injection port drilled in the top surface. The tube is held between electrodes, which supply the current for heating and are also water-cooled to return the tube rapidly to an ambient temperature after atomization. 

Fast reactions between pure metal powders (A1 + Ni, A1 + Ti and A1 + Ni + Ti) have been studied by Javel etal. (1997) by using time-resolved X-ray diffraction with the help of synchrotron radiation. The sample (20 X 10 X 2 to 3 mm3 was prepared under purified argon by cold pressing the metal powders mixed in the required proportion. It was then placed in a reaction chamber kept under He gas. A mylar window allows the incident and diffracted X-ray beams to pass in and out. Two small heating devices (tungsten coils on alumina supports) were included. The first one was used to keep the sample at a uniform temperature before ignition and the second one to start the self-propagating reaction at one end of the sample. X-rays irradiated the centre of the specimen.
