This paper presents experimental data on shear-stress-driven liquid water films a horizontal plate formed by the condensation of superheated steam. The results were obtained in Experimental Multi-phase Measurement Application (EMMA) at University Duisburg-Essen. film thickness was spatially and temporally investigated with an optical measurement system. Furthermore, resulting local heat transfe...

The calculation of heat consumption is based on the First Law and it gives quantitative information about the energy used in drying. However, it does not pay any attention to the quality of the energy used in drying. To take into account the quality of the energy, attention must be paid to the Second Law, too. Especially in those cases where the energy used in drying may be converted to mechani...

Abstract The paper presents a comparative analysis of experimental data on combustion liquid hydrocarbon fuels in the presence superheated steam two designs developed burners. By example diesel fuel burnt spray burner it is shown that lower values nitrogen oxide contents exhaust gases are achieved comparison with an evaporative burner. At that, content carbon monoxide some regimes for minimum t...
