Steam condensation in flattened-tube air-cooled condensers
… pair. Air-cooled condensers cool the process steam by forced-convection of air, replacing the water evaporation found in traditional power-plant designs. Air-cooled condensers are rising in prominence because they provide utility companies with additional freedoms – to build power plants away …

The influence of fin height and wall conductivity on integral-fin tubes during steam condensation
… stainless steel was evaluated using a boiler and steam condenser assembly. Testing was done at vacuum and atmospheric pressure conditions. The tubes tested had an inner diameter of 12.7mm, a root diameter of 13.88mm, and fin heights ranging from 0.5mm to 1.5mm, in 0.25mm increments. The outside …

On Steam Based Recovery Process Design
Steam-based thermal recovery process is the most commonly used recovery process for bitumen production from oil sands reservoirs. The most used thermal methods are Steam Flooding (SF), Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS), and Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). The choice of method depends on the …

Micro-Scale Simulation of Evaporation, Condensation and Transport in Porous Media
… complexities involved in the evaporation and condensation processes. Therefore, a numerical scheme based on the Volume-of-Fluid method was implemented using the OpenFOAM open-source CFD package along with four phase change models. The aforementioned approach is extended in the modeling of …

Thermal Modeling of Vacuum Assisted Steam Pasteurization for Improved Product Safety of Low Water Activity Foods
Vacuum assisted steam pasteurization is a common method used to kill harmful pathogens on low water activity foods (LWAFs). During this treatment process it is generally believed that the steam will quickly penetrate through the small gaps within a package of product and condense on the surfaces …

Integrating water resources and power generation: the energy-water nexus in Illinois
… the electricity generated in the United States. Steam condensation in the power generation cycle creates a need for cooling, often accomplished using large amounts of water. Negative consequences of power plant water demands, such as dialing down or shutting down, have become increasingly …
