Twisted Radio Waves and Twisted Thermodynamics

چکیده
We present and analyze a gedanken experiment and show that the assumption that an antenna operating at a single frequency can transmit more than two independent information channels to the far field violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Transmission of a large number of channels, each associated with an angular momenta 'twisted wave' mode, to the far field in free space is therefore not possible.

Effect of Twisted Tape Baffles on Pressure Drop, Fluctuation and Expansion Ratios in gas - Solid Fluidized Bed
In the present work an attempt has been made to study the effect of the twisted tapes as bed internals, on the performance of the gas-solid fluidized beds. Experimental investigation has been carried out in cylindrical column with and without twisted tapes. Twelve numbers of twisted tapes of three different widths with four values of the twist ratios for each width were studied at different...
متن کاملInvestigation of Twisted Waveguides as Slow-Wave Structures
Twisted hollow waveguides with noncircular cross sections may be considered as slow-wave structures. In a twisted waveguide, propagating radio frequency (rf) waveguide modes can have phase velocities slower than those of similar modes in a straight waveguide. This property is interesting since a twisted waveguide basically has a uniform cross section along the propagation direction. In such a w...
متن کاملEnergy Management and Process Improvement of Methanol Production
A heat exchanger network (HEN) for the process of methanol synthesis has been studied by combination of pinch design method and the application of “Twisted Tube” heat exchanger units as a new technology. The HEN is reconstructed based on the full utilization of maximum allowable pressure drops for the process hot and cold streams. An algorithm is developed to generate design procedure for twist...
متن کاملInvestigation of Thermo-hydraulic Performance of Circular Tube Fitted with Center-cleared Twisted Tape Using CFD Modeling (RESEARCH NOTE)
The article presents a practical technique for enhancing thermo-hydraulic performance of a circular tube. In this way, numerical method focusing on laminar tubular flow is used to compare the effectiveness of utilizing center-cleared twisted tapes instead of typical shape of short width tapes. Numerical analysis represented that using both center-cleared and typical shape of twisted tapes, Re e...
متن کاملMulti-Objective Optimization of Tio2-Water Nanofluid Flow in Tubes Fitted With Multiple Twisted Tape Inserts in Different Arrangement
In this paper, experimentally derived correlations of heat transfer and pressure drop are used in a Pareto based Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) approach to find the best possible combinations of heat transfer and pressure drop of TiO2-water nanofluid flow in tubes fitted with multiple twisted tape inserts in different arrangement. In this study there are four independent design variables: t...
