A CONDENSER FOR EXTRACTION WORK.

On the Capacity of a Condenser

A Uns S32654, a Stainless Steel for Condenser Tubes

The new superaustenitic stainless steel UNS S32654 (Avesta Sheffield 654 SMO) is proposed for condenser tubes in desalination and power plants. A number of tests illustrating its corrosion resistance in a variety of chloride containing environments are being reviewed in terms of pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Relevant mechanical and physical properties are described. ...

Sequence complexity and work extraction

We consider a simplified version of a solvable model by Mandal and Jarzynski, which constructively demonstrates the interplay between work extraction and the increase of the Shannon entropy of an information reservoir which is in contact with a physical system. We extend Mandal and Jarzynski’s main findings in several directions: First, we allow sequences of correlated bits rather than just ind...

Optimal Distribution of Condenser Area for Retrofits

A. 1 ohansson and P. Lundqvist Dept. of Energy Technology Div. of Applied Thennodynamics and Refrigeration The Royal Institute of Technology, KTH Stockholm, Sweden Test results from field retrofit situations, where R22 has been changed to Isceon 59 1 and R407C in two identical chillers, shows that both substitutes require more subcooling than R22 to give the system a satisfying performance. It ...

Condenser-Based Instant Reflectometry

We present a technique for rapid capture of high quality bidirectional reflection distribution functions(BRDFs) of surface points. Our method represents the BRDF at each point by a generalized microfacet model with tabulated normal distribution function (NDF) and assumes that the BRDF is symmetrical. A compact and light-weight reflectometry apparatus is developed for capturing reflectance data ...
