The thermostatic mortar P, whose function is described below, is a small electrical heating unit (1 5 cm. in diameter and 7 cm. long) kept constant at 180 . The temperature is kept constant by another Simmerstat. The mortal may be supported on its Simmerstat box or alternatively screwed on to the end of the furnace, a gap of 1 cm. being left between the furnace and the mortar in each case. The right-hand end of the mortar bore is only wide enough to take the drawn-out beak end of the combustion tube, which is thus held in place. 

Several forms of apparatus employing electrical heati iig wi 11 be described. A simple form may be readily constructed from a domestic electric iron of 400-500 watts rating. The handle is removed, and two holes of 8 mm. diameter are drilled through the base (ca. 11 mm. thick) so that they meet in the centre of the block. One hole is for a 360° thermometer (small bulb) the other hole is spare and can be used for comparison with a standard thermometer. The heater is mounted on a sheet of thick asbestos board which is fixed to an appropriate wooden base. The wires from the heating unit are connected to two insulated terminals fitted on the board (Fig. 11, 11, 1). The rate of heating is controlled by either of the following methods ...

For ordinary materials and higher production rates, P/M forging can be used (26,28). After parts are compacted and sintered to medium density, they are reheated, lubricated, and fed into a hot-forming or P/M-forging press. The part is formed by one stroke of the press in a closed precision die. A typical hot-forming press setup includes die sets, automatic die cooling and lubrication, transfer mechanism, an induction heating unit for preforms, and controls. 

The equipment needed includes a balance tank, regenerative heating unit, positive pump, plates for heating to pasteurization temperature, tube or plates for hoi ding the product for the specified time, a flow-diversion valve (FDV), and a cooling unit (Fig. 4). Often the homogenizer and booster pump also are incorporated into the HTST circuit.

Description A tray or compartment diyer is an enclosed, insulated housing in which solids are placed upon tiers of trays in the case of particulate solids or stacked in piles or upon shelves in the case of large objects. Heat transfer may be direct from gas to sohds by circulation of large volumes of hot gas or indirect by use of heated shelves, radiator coils, or refractoiy walls inside the housing. In indirec t-heat units, excepting vacuum-shelf equipment, circulation of a small quantity of gas is usually necessary to sweep moisture vapor from the compartment and prevent gas saturation and condensation. Compartment units are employed for the heating and diying of lumber, ceramics, sheet materi s (supported on poles), painted and metal objects, and all forms of particulate solids. 

In tunnel equipment, the solids are usually heated by direc t contact with hot gases. In high-temperature operations, radiation from walls and refractory lining may be significant also. The air in a direc t-heat unit may be heated directly or indirectly by combustion or, at temperature below 475 K, by finned steam cods. 

As a general nile, the direct-heat units are the simplest and most economical in construction and are emploved when direct contact between the solids and flue gases or air can be tolerated. Because the total heat load must be introduced or removed in the gas stream, large gas volumes and high gas velocities are usually required. The latter will be rarely less than 0.5 m/s in an economical design. Therefore, employment of direct rotating equipment with solids containing extremely fine particles is likely to result in excessive entrainment losses in the exit-gas stream. 

Auxiliary Equipment On direct-heat rotating equipment, a combustion chamber is required for high temperatures and finned steam coils are used for low temperatures. If contamination of the produc t with combustion gases is undesirable on direct-heat units, indirect gas- or oil-fired air heaters may be employed to achieve temperatures in excess of available steam. 

Rotating equipment, except brick-hned vessels, operated above ambient temperatures is usually insulated to reduce heat losses. Exceptions are direct-heat units of bare metal construction operating at high temperatures, on which heat losses from the shell are neces-saiy to prevent overheating of the metal. Insulation is particularly necessary on cocurrent direct-heat units. It is not unusual for product cooling or condensation on the shell to occur in the last 10 to 50 percent of the cylinder length if it is not well insulated. 

For best operation, the feed rate to rotating equipment should be closely controlled and uniform in quantity ana quality. Because sohds temperatures are difficult to measure and changes slowly detected, most rotating-equipment operations are controlled by indirect means. Inlet and exit gas temperatures are measured and controlled on direct-heat units such as direct dryers and kilns, steam temperature and pressure and exit-gas temperature and humidity are controlled on steam-tube units, and direct shell temperature measurements are taken on indirect calciners. Product temperature measurements are taken for secondaiy control purposes only in most instances. 

The thermal efficiency of steam-tube units will range from 70 to 90 percent, if a well-insiilated cylinder is assumed. This does not allow For boiler efficiency, however, and is therefore not direc tly comparable with direct-heat units such as the direct-heat rotaiy diyer or indirect-heat calciner. 

Lube oil units are typieally available in two versions the manu-faeturer s standard or in aeeordanee with API Standard 614. The major eomponents of a unit are the oil tank, auxiliary oil pump, double filter and, seleetively, one or two oil eoolers. All eomponents of the smaller units are mounted on a eommon bedplate, separated from the other eomponents. The oil ean be heated by an eleetrieal or steam-powered heating unit. The neeessary instrumentation is a standard supply item and, if requested, the switehes and motors ean be prewired. The main and auxiliary oil pumps are driven by different types of drivers (e.g., one by an eleetrie motor and the other by either a small steam turbine or by direet eonneetion to the shaft end of a major maehine easing in the turbotrain). 

Steam stripping is not adequate for the bottoms purity required. More positive stripping is obtained by charging the tower bottom liquid to a heating unit known as a reboiler. In a typical reboiler, 50% of the feed is vaporized and returned to the tower below the bottom plate. A fractionating tower equipped with a steam heated reboiler is shown in Figure 4. The reboiler may also be heated by a hot oil stream, such as a pumparound reflux stream from the primary fractionator of a cracking unit, or by a fired furnace. 

Heaters and furnaces should also be designed in accordance with standards and codes. Boilers and heating units must be inspected periodically in accordance with codes, insurance requirements and state regulations. Proper controls, interlocks and fail-safe instnunentation must be provided. The heaters should also be provided with sight glasses for flame observation, monitoring devices for flame-out detection, and temperature alarms.

The large number of heat units employed by various experimenters has given rise to a corresponding amount of confusion in the specification of experimental results, and the name of the unit should now always be given. 

Definition.—The heat capacity of a body, under specified conditions, is measured by the number of heat units which must pass into that body to raise its temperature 1° C. 

The number of heat units which must be imparted to a mass m of a substance to raise its temperature through 1° under specified conditions will be ... 

The specific heat of a substance must always be defined relatively to a particular set of conditions under which heat is imparted, and it is here that the fluid analogy is very liable to lead to error. The number of heat units required to produce unit rise of temperature in a body depends in fact on the manner in which the heat is communicated. In particular, it is different according as the volume or the pressure is kept constant during the rise of temperature, and we have to distinguish between specific heats (and also heat capacities) at constant volume and those at constant pressure, as well as other kinds to be considered later. 

The variation of specific heat with temperature was discovered by Dulong and Petit in 1819. It explains why so many different heat units exist (cf. 5), and requires the definition of specific heat to be so framed as to allow for this variation. For this purpose we replace the finite changes by infinitesimal ones. If SQ units of heat are absorbed when unit mass of a substance is raised in temperature from 6— SO) to 0- - SO) underspecified conditions, the true specific heat at the temperature 0 is ... 

The operational duties of these smaller boiler systems vary widely, and for HW closed-loop heating systems, where the boiler is periodically offline, or in indirect heating systems where pipework, valves, or final heating units are exposed to chilly winds or icy conditions, some boiler winterization may be necessary. This is usually provided by replacing some of the water with glycols or other heat transfer fluids.

In this expression consistent units must be used. In the SI system each of the terms in equation 2.1 is expressed in Joules per kilogram (J/kg). In other systems either heat units (e g. cal/g) or mechanical energy units (e.g. erg/g) may be used, dU is a small change in the internal energy which is a property of the system it is therefore a perfect differential. On the other hand, Sq and SW are small quantities of heat and work they are not properties of the system and their values depend on the manner in which the change is effected they are, therefore, not perfect differentials. For a reversible process, however, both Sq and SW can be expressed in terms of properties of the system. For convenience, reference will be made to systems of unit mass and the effects on the surroundings will be disregarded. 

Running gas lines into a laboratory is not difficult once it has been determined where they are needed. It may simplify plumbing installation to have rough plumbing for gas terminate close to the water lines. When estimating total requirements for gas, it should be kept in mind that it may also be needed for a water heater and a heating unit for the building.
