The main focus of this research is to modify the straight pipe Citronella essential oil distillation condenser using a helical coil shorten time. This study aims obtain an effective shell-side fluid volumetric rate shell side varies from 0.72 3.66 LPM at constant pitch ratio 2.10. Recording data in form temperature, water, and tube steam after steady state reached. experimental results show tha...

Steam is a key energy vector for industrial sites, most commonly used for process heating and cooling, cogeneration of heat and mechanical power as a motive fluid or for stripping. Steam networks are used to carry steam from producers to consumers and between pressure levels through letdowns and steam turbines. The steam producers (boilers, heat and power cogeneration units, heat exchangers, ch...

DC lOO%-steam plasma characteristics were investigated for the application of halogenated hydrocarbon decomposition because steam plasmas are chemically reactive. However, plasma system generally requires complex subsystems such as steam generators and cooling units. The presented steam plasma system is a portable light-weight plasma generation system that does not require any gas supply unit. ...

There exists general agreement that the steam engine's rise in importance occurred at the same time as large increases in firm size and growing urbanization, but no consensus concerning the degree to which the steam engine served as an exogenous fo rce fueling urban growth. We reexamine the hypothesis that a leading brand of steam engine made by the Corliss Company fue led urbanization in the l...

The fundamental mechanisms which control the phase coherence of the polariton Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) are determined. It is shown that the combination of number fluctuations and interactions leads to decoherence with a characteristic Gaussian decay of the first-order correlation function. This line shape, and the long decay times ( approximately 150 ps) of both first- and second-order co...

Superheated steam drying technique has been known for a long time, but its application to food drying has received little attention. In this work, superheated steam was applied to dry fresh parsley (Petroselinum Cripsum). A mathematical model to simulate this drying process was developed by using mass and energy conservation equations for solid and steam phases. The resulting partial differenti...

Forced convective condensation in vertical channel is investigated numerically. The condensation boundary layers that occur due to temperature difference between the walls and saturation temperature of steam is simulated by the volume of fluid (VOF) method. The effect of variations in the hydraulic diameter, steam velocity, Re number and temperature difference between the wall and saturation te...

An alternative quantum field theory for gravity is proposed for low energies based on an attractive effect between contaminants in a BoseEinstein Condensate rather than on particle exchange. In the “contaminant in condensate effect,” contaminants cause a potential in an otherwise uniform condensate, forcing the condensate between two contaminants to a higher energy state. The energy of the syst...

This paper presents entropy generation minimisation model of combined heat and power system. The turbine control valves and heater throttle valves were analysed. The high-pressure control valves regulate the mass flow rate of steam into the turbine, whereas the intermediate-pressure and lowpressure control valves the steam pressure of the turbine extracts 3 and 5. The steam of the turbine extra...

the biqian-10 block, located in henan oilfield of sinopic, contains many thin and interbedded reservoirs, which have been operated by cyclic steam stimulation for 20 years or more. therefore, it is a challenge to implement the conventional steam flooding. in order to improve the recovery of steam flooding, urea was used to assist steam flooding. urea can decompose into co2 and nh3, which are be...
