  2. Evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator

    An evaporator is a type of heat exchanger device that facilitates evaporation by utilizing conductive and convective heat transfer, which provides the necessary thermal energy for phase transition from liquid to vapour. Within evaporators, a circulating liquid is exposed to an atmospheric or reduced pressure environment causing it to boil at a ...

  3. Circulation evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulation_evaporator

    The main process characteristics are those based around evaporation specifically through heat exchange and pressure manipulation. It is a flash separation procedure that includes the heating of a base liquid mixture and forced circulation through the system via pumping.

  4. Multiple-effect evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-effect_evaporator

    Condensing vapors from flash tank B1 heat evaporator A2. •1=feed •2=product •3=steam •4=vapors. In chemical engineering, a multiple-effect evaporator is an apparatus for efficiently using the heat from steam to evaporate water. [1] Water is boiled in a sequence of vessels, each held at a lower pressure than the last.

  5. Flash evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_evaporation

    The flash evaporation of a single-component liquid is an isenthalpic process and is often referred to as an adiabatic flash. The following equation, derived from a simple heat balance around the throttling valve or device, is used to predict how much of a single-component liquid is vaporized.

  6. Multi-stage flash distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_flash_distillation

    The process goes through the following steps: When the plant is operating in steady state, feed water at the cold inlet temperature flows, or is pumped, through the heat exchangers in the stages and warms up. When it reaches the brine heater it already has nearly the maximum temperature. In the heater, an amount of additional heat is added.

  7. Vacuum insulated evaporator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_insulated_evaporator

    A vacuum insulated evaporator (VIE) is a form of pressure vessel that allows the bulk storage of cryogenic liquids including oxygen, nitrogen and argon for industrial processes and medical applications. [1] The purpose of the vacuum insulation is to prevent heat transfer between the inner shell, which holds the liquid, and surrounding ...

  8. Vestibular membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_membrane

    It helps to transmit vibrations from fluid in the vestibular duct to the cochlear duct. Together with the basilar membrane, it creates a compartment in the cochlea filled with endolymph, which is important for the function of the spiral organ of Corti. It allows nutrients to travel from the perilymph to the endolymph of the membranous labyrinth.

  9. Ear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear

    In humans, the ear is described as having three parts: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear consists of the auricle and the ear canal . Since the outer ear is the only visible portion of the ear, the word "ear" often refers to the external part (auricle) alone. [ 1 ]
