  2. Vapour density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour_density

    vapour density = molar mass of gas / molar mass of H 2 vapour density = molar mass of gas / 2.01568 vapour density = 1 ⁄ 2 × molar mass (and thus: molar mass = ~2 × vapour density) For example, vapour density of mixture of NO 2 and N 2 O 4 is 38.3. Vapour density is a dimensionless quantity. Vapour density = density of gas / density of ...

  3. Heat pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pipe

    In an evacuated pipe, water vaporizes from its triple point (0.01 °C, 32 °F) to its critical point (374 °C; 705 °F), as long as the heat pipe contains both liquid and vapor. Thus a heat pipe can operate at hot-end temperatures as low as just slightly warmer than the melting point of the working fluid, although the maximum rate of heat ...

  4. Souders–Brown equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souders–Brown_equation

    ρ L is the liquid density in kg/m 3 ρ V is the vapor density in kg/m 3 k = 0.107 m/s (when the drum includes a de-entraining mesh pad) Then the cross-sectional area of the drum can be found from: = ˙ where ˙ is the vapor volumetric flow rate in m 3 /s A is the cross-sectional area of the drum

  5. Saturation vapor density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_vapor_density

    The saturation vapor density (SVD) is the maximum density of water vapor in air at a given temperature. [1] The concept is related to saturation vapor pressure (SVP). It can be used to calculate exact quantity of water vapor in the air from a relative humidity (RH = % local air humidity measured / local total air humidity possible ) Given an RH percentage, the density of water in the air is ...

  6. Lee–Kesler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee–Kesler_method

    The Lee–Kesler method [1] allows the estimation of the saturated vapor pressure at a given temperature for all components for which the critical pressure P c, the critical temperature T c, and the acentric factor ω are known.

  7. Critical heat flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_heat_flux

    At low pressures (including atmospheric pressure), the pressure dependence is mainly through the change in vapor density leading to an increase in the critical heat flux with pressure. However, as pressures approach the critical pressure, both the surface tension and the heat of vaporization converge to zero, making them the dominant sources of ...

  8. Condensing boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensing_boiler

    Condensing boilers are water heaters typically used for heating systems that are fueled by gas or oil. When operated in the correct circumstances, a heating system can achieve high efficiency (greater than 90% on the higher heating value) by condensing water vapour found in the exhaust gases in a heat exchanger to preheat the circulating water.

  9. Pipe insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_insulation

    Insulated hot water supply and return hydronic piping on a gas-fired boiler. Since pipework can operate at temperatures far removed from the ambient temperature, and the rate of heat flow from a pipe is related to the temperature differential between the pipe and the surrounding ambient air, heat flow from pipework can be considerable.
