Analysis and Test on Influence Factors of Dew Drop Condensation in Dew Point Hygrometer

Dew condensation on desert beetle skin.

Some tenebrionind beetles inhabiting the Namib desert are known for using their body to collect water droplets from wind-blown fogs. We aim to determine whether dew water collection is also possible for desert insects. For this purpose, we investigated the infra-red emissivity, and the wetting and structural properties, of the surface of the elytra of a preserved specimen of Physasterna cribrip...

Dew point measurement using a sensitive circuit type of dew point sensor

Received: 13 Mar. 2012; Revised 25 Jul. 2012; Accepted 04 Aug. 2012 Received: April 8, 2012; Revised May 4, 2012; Accepted June 6, 2012 Abstract: Aiming at the problem of atmospheric humidity measurement, this paper proposes a method to measure dew point based on sensitive circuit for the first time. We use the quartz crystal in the Colpitts circuit as the humidity sensitive element. Since the ...

Advanced Analysis of Dew Point Control Unit of Hybrid Refrigeration Systems in Gas Refineries

In this paper, an advanced analysis of a novel hybrid compression-absorption refrigeration system (HCARS) for natural gas dew point control unit in a gas refinery is presented. This unit separates the heavy hydrocarbon molecules in the natural gas, which is traditionally carried out by natural gas cooling in a compression refrigeration cycle (CRS). The power input required for the refrigeration...

Constant Dew Point Corrosion Tests for Metals

Cloud-dew architecture

Users derive many benefits by storing personal data in cloud computing services; however the drawback of storing data in these services is that the user cannot access his/her own data when an internet connection is not available. To solve this problem in an efficient and elegant way, we propose the cloud-dew architecture. Cloud-dew architecture is an extension of the client-server architecture....
