In this study a new desalination unit is established. It has four cells such as cooling cell, heating cell, evaporation cell and condensation cell. Seawater is pumped into cooling cell to be preheated and then goes to evaporation cell. In the new desalination unit the evaporation and condensation cell is heated and cooled by the heating and cooling cells respectively. The heating of the evapora...

This study examined the relationship between mercury content and mercury evaporation from amalgams during setting. Two different types of commercial high-copper amalgams (single composition and admixed types) were used. Cylindrical specimens of each amalgam were prepared with five different mercury contents according to ADA Specification No.1. Specimens were also prepared by hand condensation. ...

The uplift of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is generally considered to have triggered Asian monsoon system. However, a long-standing scarcity high-resolution paleoclimatic records on TP makes it unclear when South (SAM) reached central TP. Here, we investigated environmental magnetic properties lacustrine sequence (?25.5–19.8 Ma) from Lunpola Basin. Hematite dominant mineral with concentrations that...

in this paper, the dynamics of evaporation of water droplets on surfaces with different contact angle hysteresis is studied experimentally and theoretically. the evaporation of water droplets on surfaces usually occurs in three distinct stages, namely the constant contact area mode, followed by the constant contact angle mode, and the mixed mode in which both contact angle and contact area are ...

Evaporation is ubiquitous in nature. This process influences the climate, the formation of clouds, transpiration in plants, the survival of arctic organisms, the efficiency of car engines, the structure of dried materials and many other phenomena. Recent experiments discovered two novel mechanisms accompanying evaporation: temperature discontinuity at the liquid–vapour interface during evaporat...

evaporation, as a major component of the hydrologic cycle, plays a key role in water resources development and management in arid and semi-arid climatic regions. although there are empirical formulas available, their performances are not all satisfactory due to the complicated nature of the evaporation process and the data availability. this paper explores evaporation estimation methods based o...

The aim of this study was to investigate the preparation of oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions using an emulsification–evaporation process. Nanoemulsions were formed by homogenizing 10 wt% of an organic phase composed by corn oil and hexane mixed at different ratios, and 90 wt% emulsifier solution containing 1.0 wt % of Tween 20 (T20) or β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg). Nanoemulsions were prepared using a...

Field measurements of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) find significantly higher mass loads than predicted by models, sparking intense effort focused on finding additional SOA sources but leaving the fundamental assumptions used by models unchallenged. Current air-quality models use absorptive partitioning theory assuming SOA particles are liquid droplets, forming instantaneous reversible equili...

The condensational growth of submicrometer aerosol particles to climate relevant sizes is sensitive to their ability to accommodate vapor molecules, which is described by the mass accommodation coefficient. However, the underlying processes are not yet fully understood. We have simulated the mass accommodation and evaporation processes of water using molecular dynamics, and the results are comp...
