Typically, numerical calculations of the pressure, free-field, and random-incidence response of a condenser microphone are carried out on the basis of an assumed displacement distribution of the diaphragm of the microphone; the conventional assumption is that the displacement follows a Bessel function. This assumption is probably valid at frequencies below the resonance frequency. However, at h...

Capacity and efficiency of any refrigerating system diminish rapidly as the difference between the evaporating and condensing temperature is increased by reduction in the evaporator temperature. The single stage vapour compression refrigeration system is limited to an evaporator temperature of -40 C. Below temperature of -40 C the either cascade refrigeration system or multi stage vapour compre...

The paper presents an analysis of relations describing entropy generation in a condenser of a steam unit. Connections between entropy generation, condenser ratio, and heat exchanger effectiveness, as well as relations implied by them are shown. Theoretical considerations allowed to determine limits of individual parameters which describe the condenser operation. Various relations for average te...

This paper presents experimental results from a prototype of a microchannel heat exchanger used in a residential air-conditioning system as an air-cooled condenser. The main objectives were to analyze effects of the microchannel condenser on system performance. The commercially available system that utilizes a condenser with a round tube and plate fins was experimentally evaluated first, then t...

This paper presents the detailed design and analysis of an asymmetric fin tube condenser. And the heat transfer performance of the asymmetric fin tube condenser is simulated with the fluent software. Based on the simulation results, an optimal model of the asymmetric-finned tube condenser is designed. The actual model is experimentally studied on air conditioners and contrasted with the symmetr...

We propose and demonstrate a compact, alignment-free dark-field microscopy technique, termed as organic light-emitting-diode-based plasmonic dark-field microscopy. Experimental results show that it is capable of forming dark-field images of the specimens utilizing a highly integrated chip-scale plasmonic condenser. This technique has high z resolution and high imaging contrast and is suitable f...

Condenser is one of the important auxiliary equipments in nuclear power plants. The thermal efficiency of the entire unit was depended on the condenser performance. Cleanliness factor and condenser corrected pressure are the two most important evaluation indexes. The definition and derivation of these two evaluation indexes were elaborated and clarified in this paper. And the condenser performa...

The heat transfer performance of vapor-condenser has been studied under different temperature of cold trap and different thickness of the frost layer in this paper. The relationship between dimensionless number and is obtained. The results show that the capturing efficiency of cold trap increases with the decrease of the surface temperature of vapor-condenser. The frost accumulated on the surfa...

Various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath exhaled by patients with lung cancer, healthy controls, and patients with lung cancer who underwent surgery for resection of cancer were analyzed by gas condenser-equipped gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) for development of an exhaled breath monitoring prototype system involving metal oxide gas sensors, a gas condenser, and gas chr...

Recent studies indicate that controlling the nuclear decondensation and intra-nuclear localization of plasmid DNA (pDNA) would result in an increased transfection efficiency. In the present study, we established a technology for imaging the nuclear condensation/decondensation status of pDNA in nuclear subdomains using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between quantum dot (QD)-labele...
