Models of TSC formation conditions in condensed matter are first proposed. Secondly formulas for cold fusion rates per D(H)-cluster are explained with typical quantitative results. The 4D/TSC fusion and the 4H/TSC WS fusion are underlying mechanisms, respectively for the D (deuterium)-system and the H (protium)-system.展开更多

The effects of chemistry on the flowing steam nucleation and condensation are not quite explained. An approach is used in the paper which is based on binary nucleation of main impurity NaC1 and water. Physical and mathematical models are described and are applied on the steam flow with condensation in convergent-divergent nozzle. Binary nucleation numerical model is applied for the calculation of the flow with condensation in the nozzle with low expansion rate in divergent nozzle part ^- = 1,000 s^-1. Calculation results of pressure distribution are compared with experiments. The agreement between calculations and experiments is very good. The homogeneous nucleation and condensation of pure water steam in the same nozzle is also calculated. The results are discussed. Main features of the binary nucleation and condensation of water and NaCI and of the homogeneous nucleation of pure water are compared.展开更多

A heat exchanger condenses water vapour and SO2 (sulphur dioxide) in the presence of inert gases (CO2, CO, N2, O2) contained in flue gases. A mathematical model and a sample design of a heat exchanger were presented. The heat exchange is capable of recovering from a dozen or so to several dozen percent of heat from flue gases escaping into the atmosphere. A second advantage of the heat exchanger is the possibility to reduce the emissions of SO2 considerably. Depending on the parameters, it can be even a sevenfold reduction in the emissions. The main mathematical tool used for designing the condensing heat exchanger is the Colburn-Hougen method. The authors omitted that part of the method which requires iterative calculations. The Mollier diagram was used instead.展开更多

We use the Lagrangian method, a set of moving grids, to follow the exact tracks of gas particles as they move with pressure oscillation in the pulse tube to avoid any numerical false diffusion. The Eulerian approach, a set of fixed computational grids, is used to simulate the variations of dynamic parameters in the regenerator. A variety of physical factors, such as real thermal properties of helium, multi-layered magnetic regenerative materials, pressure drop and heat transfer in the regenerator, and heat exchangers, are taken into account in this model. The present modeling is very effective for visualizing the internal physical processes in 4 K-pulse tube coolers.展开更多
