Rotation, heats

Thin-Film Evaporators. There are two types of thin-film evaporators commonly used in industrial appHcations. The first type introduces feed material into the center of a rotating heated conical receiver. Centrifugal force causes the feed to travel to the outer edge of the conical receiver where it is coUected and drawn off as residue. During the process, the heat causes the volatile components to be driven from the feed. These volatile components are condensed on a chilled surface of the evaporator and coUected as distUlate. 

The dmm dryer is a continuously operated unit that uses rotating heated dmms for the evaporation contact area. This method of drying can be used with materials high in volatiles. In several designs, the volatiles can be withdrawn and coUected for reuse, as appropriate. 

Drum Dyers. Indirect-heat dmm dryers, like spray dryers, are usable only for materials that are fluid initially and pumpable. Drying is effected by applying a thin film of material onto the outer surface of a rotating heated dmm using appHcator roUs, spray nozzles, or by dipping the dmm into a reservoir. Usually the dmm is cast iron or steel and chrome-plated to provide a smooth surface for ease of product release by doctoring. Dmm rotational speed is such that... 

The rotating heat exchanger wheel. The wheel has a rotating matrix, the mass of which picks up heat from one duct air flow and transfers it to the other. If the matrix is coated in a hygroscopic material, there may also be some transfer of moisture. 

Continuous vulcanisation of rubber based products such as thin conveyor belting, flooring and similar can be achieved using a large rotating heated drum. Pressure is exerted to the product by means of a continuous stainless steel belt which presses the sheet to the surface of the drum. The belt is also heated from its reverse side to give optimum heat transfer to the vulcanising rubber.

OnSite Technology, L.L.C. (OnSite) has developed the portable indirect thermal desorption (ITD) system for the treatment of hazardous wastes. The ITD 6000 uses a rotating, heat-jacketed closed barrel to vaporize hydrocarbons from contaminated soils and drilling mud, allowing the hydrocarbons to be recovered while cleaning the contaminated sediment. The technology is commercially available. 

Jean Perrin (1870-1942) pursued the nature of atoms his whole career (8). When the eyes of quantum mechanics were just developing in the 20 century, Perrin reasoned that the missing rotational heat capacity was due to a very small moment of inertia for atoms. This could only occur if the mass was concentrated in a very small volume. He saw atoms as spherical, but not as uniformly distributed masses. But, if most of the mass was concentrated in a veiy small volume, what determined the colhsion diameter measured from the gas viscosity ... 

Most LLDPE produced worldwide is made into thin film, either melt blown or cast from the melt. Blown film is produced by extrusion of LLDPE melt through a circular die with a large diameter, up to 100-120 cm. and a narrow gap, usually less than 1 mm. The tube of molten polymer expands from internal air pressure and forms a bubble of a larger diameter, Typically, the blow-up ratio, the ratio of the final film tube diameter to the circular-die diameter, is between 1.5 1 and 4 1. LLDPE cast film is manufactured by depositing potymer melt on a rotating heated...

Rotating heat exchangers may transfer contaminants from exhaust to supply air in three ways with entrained air, through possible leakage around the wheel at the separation wall and by adsorption/desorption on the inner surfaces of the exchanger s wheel.

Whereas monatomic molecules can only possess translational thermal energy, two additional kinds of motions become possible in polyatomic molecules. A linear molecule has an axis that defines two perpendicular directions in which rotations can occur each represents an additional degree of freedom, so the two together contribute a total of 1/2 R to the heat capacity. For a non-linear molecule, rotations are possible along all three directions of space, so these molecules have a rotational heat capacity of 3/2 R. Finally, the individual atoms within a molecule can move relative to each other, producing a vibrational motion. A molecule consisting of N atoms can vibrate in 3N-6 different ways or modes1. For mechanical reasons that we cannot go into here, each vibrational mode contributes R (rather than 1/2 R) to the total heat capacity.

Mechanical aids stir the fluid by mechanical means or by rotating the surface. Surface scraping, widely used for batch processing of viscous liquids in the chemical process industry, is applied to the flow of such diverse fluids as high-viscosity plastics and air. Equipment with rotating heat exchanger ducts is found in commercial practice. 

Rotating heat exchanger surfaces occur naturally in rotating electrical machinery, gas turbine rotor blades, and other industrial systems. However, rotation may be deliberately applied to provide active enhancement of heat transfer.
