Deposition characteristics of magnesium silicate and calcium carbonate on a heated surface in cooling tower water using city water as make-up was investigated. Flow velocity, bulk temperature and calcium hardness were maintained constant at 5.3 ft/ sec, 95°F and 150 ppm as CaCO₃ respectively whereas surface temperature varied from 105°F...
Heat transfer to moving packed beds of solids has been studied
extensively but predictions are usually specific to the experimenter's
own equipment. In order to obtain a more general predictive equation,
the heat transfer coefficient was measured for a single vertical tube
immersed in a moving packed bed of glass...
Turbulent mixing across adjacent subchannels in packed rod
bundles was studied using conductivity measurement and sodium
chloride solution as the tracer. Single phase water was the fluid
investigated.
The packed rod bundles were seven stainless steel tubes,
1.905 cm in diameter and 152.4 cm long, arranged in hexagonal close-packed
configuration...
The fouling characteristics of cooling tower water
containing various corrosion inhibitors and other additives
on heat transfer surface have been investigated. Corrosion
inhibitors investigated included zinc-chromate and
phosphates. In addition, additives including polyacrylate
and phosphonate (HEDP and AMP) were used to determine their
effectiveness as antifoulants.
The tests were conducted...
The fouling of cooling tower water was investigated as
a function of heater surface temperature and water quality.
In particular, the effects on fouling of the addition of
calcium in excess of the amounts required for saturation
were examined.
First, the average bulk water temperature was 97 ± 1
degree...
The purpose of this research was to study the effect of capillary
tube dimensions on the apparent viscosity of an unstable dispersion
of two immiscible liquids. The study was limited to laminar
flow at a constant temperature.
The dispersions were composed of a commercial solvent,
Shellsolv 360, manufactured by the...
