Cooling Process (cooling + process)
Selected AbstractsComparative analysis of triacylglycerol composition, melting properties and polymorphic behavior of palm oil and fractionsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LIPID SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, Issue 4 2007Sabine Braipson-Danthine Abstract Palm oil is without doubt the most widely fractionated oil. Dry fractionation is based on differences in the melting points of triacylglycerols (TAG) which will crystallize selectively during the cooling process. Unfortunately, limitations due to intersolubility, closely linked to polymorphism, induce formation of co-crystals at each crystallization step. For this reason, only restricted TAG enrichments are observed. In this work, a series of samples (24) of palm oil, solid and liquid fractions (stearins, mid fractions, oleins and superoleins) have been selected and examined in terms of TAG composition (by HPLC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) melting profile and variable temperature powder X-ray diffraction pattern. Three major endotherms [low-melting, high-melting and very high-melting peaks (LMP, HMP and VHMP)] are detected in the DSC melting profiles (5,°C/min). The VHMP is only recorded for palm stearin which contains more SSS components. The HMP contribution is weak for palm olein and even not observed for palm super oleins. The LMP is usually made up of UUU, SUU and SUS components; SUS components are observed in both LMP and HMP; the HMP is also made up of some SSS, except for palm oleins and super oleins. Sub-,2, sub-,1, ,, ,'2, ,'1 and , polymorphic forms are recorded; the LMP components preferentially crystallize in sub-,2, sub-,1 and ,,forms; the HMP components generally crystallize in ,'2 and ,'1, with a tendency to exhibit ,,crystals, depending on the SSS content. Components of the VHMP have an increased tendency to stabilize in the ,,form; in view of the results, we can assume that there is a clear relationship between TAG composition, melting properties and polymorphic behavior and of palm oil and fractions. [source] Characteristics of boiling curve in transition region between nucleate boiling and film boilingHEAT TRANSFER - ASIAN RESEARCH (FORMERLY HEAT TRANSFER-JAPANESE RESEARCH), Issue 1 2006M. Monde Abstract An experimental study has been carried out for estimating surface temperature and heat flux during both a transient heating process from nucleate boiling to film boiling and a cooling process in the reverse direction. Experiments were at atmospheric pressure, and calculations used a newly developed inverse solution. Three different materials, gold, copper, and brass, were employed to make clear the effect of thermal properties on the boiling curves in the transient region including the maximum and minimum heat fluxes. It was determined that the histories of surface temperature and heat flux for the transition boiling region during either heating or cooling process can be tracked well. The experiment shows that hysteresis exists in the heating and cooling processes for the transition region while no hysteresis exists in the nucleate boiling region, except that the maximum heat fluxes reached during the heating and cooling processes are much different. It was found that the characteristics for the heating process are minimally influenced by thermal properties, while characteristics of the cooling process are greatly affected. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Alhazmy Abstract In this paper, a model to study the effect of inlet air-cooling on gas turbines power and efficiency is developed for two different cooling techniques, direct mechanical refrigeration and an evaporative water spray cooler. Energy analysis is used to present the performance improvement in terms of power gain ratio and thermal efficiency change factors. Relationships are derived for an open gas turbine cycle with irreversible compression and expansion processes coupled to air-cooling systems. The obtained results show that the power and efficiency improvements are functions of the ambient conditions and the gas turbine pressure ratio. The performance improvement is calculated for, ambient temperatures from 30 to 50°C, the whole range of humidity ratio (10,100%) and pressure ratio from 8 to 12. For direct mechanical refrigeration air-cooling, the power improvement is associated with appreciable drop in the thermal efficiency. The maximum power gain can be obtained if the air temperature is reduced to its lowest limit that is the refrigerant evaporation temperature plus the evaporator design temperature difference. Water spray cooling process is sensitive to the ambient relative humidity and is suitable for dry air conditions. The power gain and efficiency enhancement are limited by the wet bulb temperature. The performance of spray evaporative cooler is presented in a dimensionless working graph. The daily performance of the cooling methods is examined for an ABB-11D5 gas turbine operating under the hot humid conditions of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The results indicate that the direct mechanical refrigeration increased the daily power output by 6.77% versus 2.57% for the spray air-cooling. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Hierarchy crystallization structure of a polypropylene random copolymer injection-molded bar induced by a nucleating agentJOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 1 2008Yong Wang Abstract In this work, the effect of a nucleating agent on the crystallization structure of an injection-molded bar of a polypropylene random copolymer (PPR) with sorbitol derivatives [1,2,3,4-dibenzylidene sorbitol (DBS)] has been studied. The results show that pure PPR forms a simple skin,core crystallization structure. However, PPR/DBS forms an interesting and complicated hierarchy crystallization structure: there is a transition layer between the skin layer and the core zone. In this transition layer, the crystallization structure consists of some perfect spherulites and many tiny crystallites. Further research suggests that the formation of the hierarchy crystallization structure depends on not only the content of the nucleating agent in the PPR matrix but also the mold temperature during the injection-molding processing. The crystallization behavior of PPR/DBS during the cooling process has been characterized with polarization optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The results suggest that there are different mechanisms in the crystallization process of PPR/DBS. The formation of a three-dimensional DBS network under a certain condition might be the main reason for the complicated hierarchy crystallization structure. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Water was chosen in the experiment as it is the main component of most foods. The results showed that the temperature in the vacuum chamber significantly depended on variation in pressure at different pumping stages. The temperature changes in the chamber generally followed a certain pattern. In the early stage of vacuum cooling, the chamber temperature dropped very quickly (0.26 K/s), while at the end of vacuum cooling, it increased rapidly (0.22 K/s), and was about 11.8 K higher than the ambient temperature when the vacuum was released with ambient air flowing back to the chamber. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Vacuum cooling is a rapid cooling method for the food industry; further understanding of the vacuum cooling mechanism can help to control and improve this cooling process. Temperature changing pattern and distribution affects the quality of the food product in vacuum cooling process. As the main component of most foods is water, it is necessary to investigate the dynamic temperature changing pattern and distribution with vacuum pressure during vacuum cooling of water so that the information obtained could be used as a reference for vacuum cooling of food products. [source] High-pressure granulites in the Sanggan area, North China craton: metamorphic evolution, P,T paths and geotectonic significanceJOURNAL OF METAMORPHIC GEOLOGY, Issue 8 2002J. H. Guo Abstract High-pressure basic granulites are widely distributed as enclaves and sheet-like blocks in the Huaian TTG gneiss terrane in the Sanggan area of the Central Zone of the North China craton. Four stages of the metamorphic history have been recognised in mineral assemblages based on inclusion, exsolution and reaction textures integrated with garnet zonation patterns as revealed by compositional maps and compositional profiles. The P,T conditions for each metamorphic stage were obtained using thermodynamically and experimentally calibrated geothermobarometers. The low-Ca core of growth-zoned garnet, along with inclusion minerals, defines a prograde assemblage (M1) of garnet + clinopyroxene + plagioclase + quartz, yielding 700 °C and 10 kbar. The peak of metamorphism at about 750,870 °C and 11,14.5 kbar (M2) is defined by high-Ca domains in garnet interiors and inclusion minerals of clinopyroxene, plagioclase and quartz. Kelyphites or coronas of orthopyroxene + plagioclase ± magnetite around garnet porphyroblasts indicate garnet breakdown reactions (M3) at conditions around 770,830 °C and 8.5,10.5 kbar. Garnet exsolution lamellae in clinopyroxene and kelyphites of amphibole + plagioclase around garnet formed during the cooling process at about 500,650 °C and 5.5,8 kbar (M4). These results help define a sequential P,T path containing prograde, near-isothermal decompression (ITD) and near-isobaric cooling (IBC) stages. The clockwise hybrid ITD and IBC P,T paths of the HP granulites in the Sanggan area imply a model of thickening followed by extension in a collisional environment. Furthermore, the relatively high-pressures (6,14.5 kbar) of the four metamorphic stages and the geometry of the P,T paths suggest that the HP granulites, together with their host Huaian TTG gneisses, represent the lower plate in a crust thickened during collision. The corresponding upper-plate might be the tectonically overlying Khondalite series, which was subjected to medium- to low-pressure (MP/LP: 7,4 kbar) granulite facies metamorphism with a clockwise P,T path including an ITD segment. Both the HP and the MP/LP granulite facies events occurred contemporaneously at c. 1.90,1.85 Ga in a collisional environment created by the assembly process of the North China craton. [source] Microstructure and Thermal Shock Resistance of Molten Glass-Coated Carbon Materials Fabricated by Interfacial ControlJOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 7 2006Masashi Wada Carbon substrates were coated completely with a molten silicate glass, where the wettability of carbon to glass was improved by infiltration and pyrolysis of perhydropolysilazane. Microstructures of the carbon,glass interface were dependent on Pn2 during coating. Coating at lower Pn2 induced the formation of cristobalite at the carbon,glass interface. When the coating was performed at higher Pn2, the glass and carbon were strongly adhered, without the formation of cristobalite. Coating at higher Pn2 improved the thermal shock resistance of the glass layer, because crack initiation was not induced by the phase transformation of cristobalite during the cooling process. In the case of coating at higher Pn2, an oxynitride glass layer was formed at the glass subsurface by dissolution of N2. A porous glass subsurface layer with uniform spherical micro-pores could be produced by soaking near the glass transition temperature in a steam environment. The porous layer with fine and homogeneous microstructure acts as a thermal shock absorbing layer, so that glass-coated carbon with a porous glass layer has excellent thermal shock resistance in addition to steam oxidation resistance.

Bauckhage Sprayforming; Modelling Microstructure; Geometry Abstract Dadurch, daß beim Sprühkompaktieren die schnelle Erstarrung und Abkühlung des Materials das Ausmaß von Entmischungen eindämmen, können Makroseigerungen unterbunden und Anreicherungen an den Korngrenzen deutlich verringert werden. Ferner wird das Risiko der Lunker- und Warmrißbildung durch den Impuls des Massetransportes während des Kompaktiervorganges stark reduziert. Dies bedeutet, daß solche Materialien, die bspw. beim Gießen zu starker Seigerung neigen und besonders anfällig für die Lunkerbildung und/oder Warmrißbildung sind sowie bei Umformverfahren zur Zeilenbildung von Carbiden, Nitriden oder Sulfiden neigen, mit Hilfe des Sprühkompaktierens im Freiformverfahren mit großen Abmaßen chemisch homogen und fehlerfrei herstellbar werden. Ein besonderes Merkmal sprühkompaktierter Deposits ist ihr feines Gefüge und ihre vergleichsweise hohe Duktilität. Die Besonderheiten des neuartigen Urformverfahrens werden anhand von Beispielen erläutert. Characteristic Features and Specific Qualifications of the Sprayforming Process to be Generalized The solidification and cooling process of spray formed materials predominates the extent of any segregation and separation process, which is conducive to avoid macro-segregation and to diminish concentration of alloying components at the grain boundaries. The risk of coarse porosity or of hot cracking is reduced significantly by the momentum of the mass flow during spray deposition. This means that those materials which e.g. during the casting process tend to establish strong segregation effects and cavities and/or hot cracks as well as those which tend to create filaments of carbides, nitrides or sulphides during rolling can be generated by the spray forming process in large dimensions with chemical homogeneity and without any of those defects. A characteristic feature of spray formed materials is the fine equiaxed grain structure and the high ductility. Specific features of this new free forming process will be discussed. [source] Internal friction investigation of reverse martensitic transformation in oil-quenched Ni64Al36 alloyPHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (A) APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS SCIENCE, Issue 12 2008Z. C. Zhou Abstract Low-frequency internal friction investigation of reverse martensitic transformation in oil-quenched Ni64Al36 alloy has been carried out using a multifunctional internal friction apparatus from room temperature to 400 °C and additionally differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction experiments were also completed. It has been shown that an internal friction peak presents at about 220 °C in the internal friction,temperature curve during heating for the oil-quenched Ni64Al36 alloy but not for the furnace-cooled Ni64Al36 alloy. The peak still appears during cooling and the peak temperature shifts to lower temperature. The changes of the peak temperature positions cannot be visibly observed when the vibration frequency is changed. The peak heights increase with decreasing vibration frequency and increasing heating rate, being linearly directly proportional to It has been suggested that the internal friction peak results from reverse martensitic transformation of L10 , , during heating and originates from martensitic transformation of , , L10 during the subsequent cooling process. The influence of the thermal cycles on the transformation is not observed for the limited thermal cycles. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) [source] Numerical analysis of polymer melt flow in the nipping regionPOLYMER ENGINEERING & SCIENCE, Issue 4 2002M. Takase In the extrusion coating process, it has never been revealed how a polymer melt flows near the nipping region and how the cooling process occurs. We created a numerical simulation program for the polymer melt flow near the nipping region using the finite element method. Numerical results showed the effects of many individual factors (e.g. line speed, melt thickness, extrusion temperature, shear-thinning property, etc.) on the cooling process and polymer melt flow near the nipping region. It was found that a polymer melt buildup that can be observed between two calender rolls in the sheet forming process also formed in the extrusion coating process, and that the amount of polymer melt buildup (bank) depended upon the coating condition. It was found that not only line speed and melt thickness contribute to the extrusion coating process significantly, but also the rheological property has an effect on the process. [source] Lower critical solution temperatures of thermo-responsive poly(N -isopropylacrylamide) copolymers with racemate or single enantiomer groupsPOLYMER INTERNATIONAL, Issue 2 2009Peng-Fei Li Abstract BACKGROUND: Thermo-responsive copolymers with racemate or single enantiomer groups are attracting increasing attention due to their fascinating functional properties and potential applications. However, there is a lack of systematic information about the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of poly(N -isopropylacrylamide)-based thermo-responsive chiral recognition systems. In this study, a series of thermo-responsive chiral recognition copolymers, poly[(N -isopropylacrylamide)- co -(N -(S)- sec -butylacrylamide)] (PN- S -B) and poly[(N -isopropylacrylamide)- co -(N -(R,S)- sec -butylacrylamide)] (PN- R,S -B), with different molar compositions, were prepared. The effects of heating and cooling processes, optical activity and amount of chiral recognition groups in the copolymers on the LCSTs of the prepared copolymers were systematically studied. RESULTS: LCST hysteresis phenomena are found in the phase transition processes of PN- S -B and PN- R,S -B copolymers in a heating and cooling cycle. The LCSTs of PN- S -B and PN- R,S -B during the heating process are higher than those during the cooling process. With similar molar ratios of N -isopropylacrylamide groups in the copolymers, the LCST of the copolymer containing a single enantiomer (PN- S -B) is lower than that of the copolymer containing racemate (PN- R,S -B) due to the steric structural difference. The LCSTs of PN- R,S -B copolymers are in inverse proportion to the molar contents of the hydrophobic R,S -B moieties in these copolymers. CONCLUSION: The results provide valuable guidance for designing and fabricating thermo-responsive chiral recognition systems with desired LCSTs.

However, the cooling process can damage the crystals. Limiting cooling-induced crystal damage often requires cryoprotection strategies, which can involve substantial screening of solution conditions and cooling protocols. Here, recent developments directed towards rational methods for cryoprotection are described. Crystal damage is described in the context of the temperature response of the crystal as a thermodynamic system. As such, the internal and external parts of the crystal typically have different cryoprotection requirements. A key physical parameter, the thermal contraction, of 26 different cryoprotective solutions was measured between 294 and 72,K. The range of contractions was 2,13%, with the more polar cryosolutions contracting less. The potential uses of these results in the development of cryocooling conditions, as well as recent developments in determining minimum cryosolution soaking times, are discussed.

Ali Abstract A comparative numerical study is employed to investigate the heat and mass transfer between air and falling film desiccant in parallel and counter flow configurations. Nanoparticles suspensions are added to the falling film desiccant to study heat and mass transfer enhancements. The numerical results show that the parallel flow channel provides better dehumidification and cooling processes of the air than counter flow configuration for a wide range of pertinent parameters. Low air Reynolds number enhances the dehumidification and cooling rates of the air and high air Reynolds number improves the regeneration rate of the liquid desiccant. An increase in the channel height results in enhancing the dehumidification and cooling processes of air and regeneration rate of liquid desiccant. The dehumidification and cooling rates of air are improved with an increase in the volume fraction of nanoparticles and dispersion factor. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] CORRELATING SHRINKAGE WITH YIELD, WATER CONTENT AND TEXTURE OF PORK HAM BY COMPUTER VISIONJOURNAL OF FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING, Issue 3 2005CHENG-JIN DU ABSTRACT An automatic method for shrinkage evaluation of pork ham was developed using computer vision. First, a sequence of image-processing algorithms was developed to estimate the average diameter, short axis, long axis, perimeter, volume and surface area before and after cooking and cooling. This sequence consisted of three steps, i.e., shape extraction, protrusion deletion and measurement. Based on the estimated shape characteristics, three kinds of shrinkage were evaluated as the percentage change before and after a process, i.e., shrinkages caused by the cooking process, cooling process and total shrinkage during the entire cooking and cooling processes. Then the cooking shrinkage was related to cooking loss; the cooling shrinkage to cooling loss and the total shrinkage to yield, water content and texture. It was found that among the three shrinkages, the cooking shrinkage in volume was the highest with up to 9.36%, and was significantly correlated with cooking loss (r = 0.91). The total shrinkage was highly negatively correlated with water content, and had positive correlations with the texture attributes. However, no significant relationships were found between cooling shrinkage and cooling loss, and between total shrinkage and yield. [source] Numerical Analysis of Survival of Listeria monocytogenes during In-Package Pasteurization of Frankfurters by Hot Water ImmersionJOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE, Issue 5 2007Lihan Huang ABSTRACT:, The objective of this research was to develop and validate a more accurate method to analyze and calculate the inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes in frankfurter packages during postlethality hot water immersion heating and the subsequent cooling processes. Finite difference analysis with implicit scheme was used to simulate the heat transfer process during in-package pasteurization of frankfurters. A volumetrically distributed simulation method was developed to calculate the lethality of the thermal treatment. The simulation method was validated using frankfurter packages inoculated with a 4-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes. Experimental results showed that the numerical analysis model could accurately simulate the heat transfer process during heating and cooling of frankfurter packages. The simulated temperatures on the surface or in the middle of the package matched very closely with the experimental observations. Using the simulated temperature distribution in the packages, the integrated lethality simulation method, based on the volumetric distribution of bacteria, could accurately predict the reduction in the bacterial counts. The calculation results were on average within 0.3 log(CFU/g) difference from the experimental observations, while the General Method systematically underestimated the bacterial reductions by approximately 0.9 log(CFU/g). The study shows that the integrated lethality method is more accurate than the General Method in calculating the lethality of thermal processes for conduction-heated foods. [source] Optimal boundary control of glass cooling processesMATHEMATICAL METHODS IN THE APPLIED SCIENCES, Issue 11 2004René Pinnau Abstract In this paper, an optimal control problem for glass cooling processes is studied. We model glass cooling using the SP1 approximations to the radiative heat transfer equations. The control variable is the temperature at the boundary of the domain. This results in a boundary control problem for a parabolic/elliptic system which is treated by a constrained optimization approach. We consider several cost functionals of tracking-type and formally derive the first-order optimality system. Several numerical methods based on the adjoint variables are investigated. We present results of numerical simulations illustrating the feasibility and performance of the different approaches. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
