There are extensive applications of lithium bromide-water absorption chillers in industry, but the heat exchangers corrosion and refrigerating capacity loss are very difficult to be solved. In this paper, an experiment was conducted by using plastic heat transfer tubes instead of copper tubes. As an example, for a lithium bromide-water absorption chiller of refrigerating capacity of 35kW, the c...

The uncombed penumbral model proposed by Solanki & Montavon (1993) is used to understand some recent observational results found in penumbrae. This model uses a penumbral magnetic field structured into horizontal flux tubes embedded in a more vertical background field. A modified version of this model, with a weaker field strength in the horizontal tubes, is used to explain the gradient with he...

Intracellular copper routing in Enterococcus hirae is accomplished by the CopZ copper chaperone. Under copper stress, CopZ donates Cu(+) to the CopY repressor, thereby releasing its bound zinc and abolishing repressor-DNA interaction. This in turn induces the expression of the cop operon, which encodes CopY and CopZ, in addition to two copper ATPases, CopA and CopB. To gain further insight into...

Hybrid-wetting surfaces are commonly used in enhancing dropwise condensation (DWC) because of provide high droplet mobility and small size. The shape the patterns plays a significant role determining departure size, frequency, thus, heat transfer rates, which not introduced yet. Therefore, different pattern shapes such as circle, ellipse, diamond share same area, gap distance, arrangement have ...

In this paper, the design and implementation of plasma antenna array with beam forming is discussed. The structure consists of a circular array of plasma tube enclosed in a unipolar UHF band monopole antenna. Beam forming is possible by stimulated plasma tubes. The combination of the above antenna with plasma excitation controller makes a beam forming smart antenna. An experimental model in UHF...
