A scheme for large-scale dew collection as a source of fresh water supply is outlined in the present paper. The scheme envisages bringing cold seawater (5C) from about 500 meters depth and about 5 km from the shore, in four, 1.22 m diameter plastic pipes. It then passes through an onshore heat exchanger field with an area of 1.29 X 10 m (1.39 X 10 ft) where it condenses 643 m of dew over the 24...

This paper examines lunisolar calendar anomalies in the Taiwan stock market, particularly the solar term effect. Using the Taiwan Stock Exchange Capitalization Weighted Stock Index (TAIEX), the significance of the solar term effect was tested. Statistical results showed that the lowest and the highest average stock returns are observed on Cold Dew and White Dew, respectively. Additionally, we f...

The production and consumption of natural gas is on the rise throughout the world as a result of its wide availability, ease of transportation, use and clean-burning characteristics. The chief use of ethane is in the chemical industry in the production of Ethene (ethylene) by steam cracking. In this simulation, obtained ethane recovery percent based on Gas sub-cooled process (GSP) is 99.9 by mo...

Kogan and Trahtman [2003. The moisture from the air as water resource in arid region: hopes, doubts and facts. Journal of Arid Environments 53, 231–240] analysed the functioning of a passive dew condenser built by F.I. Zibold in 1912 in Feodosia, and proposed a model to explain how thousands of litres of condensed water might be generated per day based on Zibold’s design. In a previous publicat...

We study both theoretically and experimentally the transmission of coherent light by a drop pattern (dew). The theory is based on the Kirchhoff scalar approach to diffraction. The polarization of the diffracted wave in the zero diffraction order is analyzed separately. The intensity in the zero diffraction order in the far zone is an oscillatory function of the drop size. These oscillations are...

Dehumidification is the process of removing the water vapour from the air. The outside humid air consists of sensible heat load and latent heat load [1]. In conventional system the dehumidification is done by vapour compression system. The sensible heat of the air is removed by reducing the temperature of the air but the latent heat load is removed by cooling the air below dew point temperature...
