Inactivation Of Salmonella And Surrogate Bacteria On Cashews And Macadamia Nuts Exposed To Saturated Steam And Propylene Oxide Treatments
Saturated steam (SS) and propylene oxide (PPO) fumigation are two common methods to improve microbiological quality and safety of tree nuts. Validation of these processes is needed to ensure adequate control of bacterial pathogens. Since pathogens cannot be studied in food processing environments, …

Design and modeling of an exhaust gas waste heat autoclave
… of traditional sterilization methods, a new steam sterilizer/autoclave system was designed and modeled. This system uses waste engine heat from the exhaust system of a diesel generator set to boil water and produce the pressurized steam conditions necessary for effective medical …

Radiative transport in transparent aerogels for solar thermal energy applications
… temperature beyond 265 °C can be reached and saturated steam above 120 °C can be generated without vacuum enclosures or selective surfaces. The improvements enabled by the low-scattering aerogels promote a new pathway of solar energy utilization for domestic, industrial, and power generation …

Heat transfer rates for filmwise, dropwise, and superhydrophobic condensation on silicon substrates
… gases (NCG) from the system by means of a steam trap, the heat transfer rates of DWC and SHC were found to be greater than that of filmwise condensation (FWC) by a factor of 2, but indistinguishable from each other. The effect of NCG leads to a 5x reduction in heat transfer rates for both …

Condensation heat transfer on nanoengineered surfaces
… an apparatus was constructed that condenses steam at pressures below 1 atm. It employs a vacuum chamber in which a surface is exposed to saturated steam at various pressures. The rig design and operating principles are explained, and the results of condensation tests on superhydrophobic …

Hydrophobicity of rare-earth oxide ceramics and their application in promoting sustained drop-wise condensation
… behavior for over 100 hours at accelerated saturated steam conditions without compromising structural integrity or hydrophobicity, and produce a tenfold enhancement in the heat transfer co-efficient (103 ± 5 kW/m 2K) compared to conventional filmwise condensation (usually <10 kW/m2K). …

Energy Recovery from Oil Sands Reservoirs
… done by injected high pressure and temperature saturated steam into the reservoir. One such process, Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), has been proven to produce bitumen, but due to steam generation has high emissions intensity with large energy requirements. The research presented here …

Removal of Naphthenic Acid from Water Using Biomass-based Activated Carbon
… in-situ recovery operations where high pressure saturated steam is commonly used to contact bitumen in the reservoir. Some of the most troublesome of the contaminants found in the produced water are naphthenic acids, naturally occurring compounds in bitumen. Naphthenic acids are a mixture of …
