I think you guys are missing the point of the question. Would not the limit of the temperature be the level of the highest temperature added? In other words, if I add multiple sources at 70 deg, wouldnt the highest it could get be 70deg? Thats why I mentioned the standing wave idea. Im...
Dale, I am not a physics major. I dont understand half of your sentence let alone the article you referenced. Could you possibly explain in layman terms?
You are correct. I was just toying with the idea of shifting the temperature that the phase change occurs by putting water in a vacuum. The greater the vacuum, the lower the temp. In other words boiling water at room temp.
Oh, also, I know that it takes a lot of energy to phase change a liquid to a gas, but what if you force the liquid through a small hole that atomizes the liquid. Does the atomized liquid draw the same amount of heat from the surrounding area as its forced to become steam?
I am constantly research a wide range of areas and often run into questions I cant seem to find the answer to, no matter how much I ask uncle google. I am looking for open dialog and discussion, so I dont mind getting off topic a bit. I like the inspiration. Tho periodically I may need a...
Thanks guys. I think I see. I think I overestimated the cooling ability of the phase change of the fluid. I know theres more but I dont know how to drscribe it. Let me ask you this then. Why even use alcohol in their design? Wouldnt there be a greater effect on the water if it was in...
Im not trying to question your credentials. I just dont understand why it wouldnt transfer the energy. The Evacuated Tube actually does just what I described, but it uses alcohol instead of water. ()
I ask this question making refference to the Evacuated Tube Solar Water Heaters that have alcohol in their core tube to transfer heat from the Evacuated Tube to the water. Is it possible to make a passive water heater that uses a step system of tubes filled with water in a gradually decreasing...
