Abstract: The representation of the p-h diagram for the thermodynamic vapor-compression cycle found in educational textbooks is misleading, and a suggestion for future presentation is made.

Abstract: The use of capacitance sensors for measuring liquid film thickness or phase concentration in two-phase flow has gained popularity in recent years. In designing such sensors, there are many ...

Abstract: An air-water two-phase flow facility with a 19.1 mm i.d. test section has been fabricated. Local measurements of pressure drop for two-phase horizontal bubbly flow and single-phase flow downstream ...

Abstract: A solar photocatalytic oxidation facility has been fabricated in which the destruction of 4-chlorophenol (4CP) is tested in three adjacent shallow pond reactors. Each of the reactors has depths ...

Abstract: A nonconcentrating flat-plate photoreactor has been fabricated and tested in an outdoor solar photocatalytic oxidation facility. It has been demonstrated that 4-chlorophenol (4CP) is successfully ...

Abstract: Ammonium alum and ammonium nitrate in the weight ratio of 1:1 form a eutectic that melts at 53°C and solidifies at 48°C. The thermophysical properties of this eutectic were measured ...

Abstract: A rigorous analysis is presented which allows for the accurate determination of reaction rate constants in batch-type photocatalytic oxidation facilities as well as any other batch-type chemical ...
