Pool boiling heat transfer and quench front velocity during quenching of a rodlet in subcooled water: Effects of the degree of subcooling

Pool boiling heat transfer and quench front propagation were investigated during quenching of cylindrical stainless steel rodlets in subcooled water. The degree of subcooling was varied from 0°C (saturated) to 40°C at an increment of 10°C at atmospheric pressure. The results showed that the increase of degree of subcooling accelerates quenching, with the total quenching time being shortened from 90 second (saturated) to 12 second (subcooled by 40°C). As revealed by the boiling curves that were obtained via solving an inverse heat conduction problem in cylindrical coordinates, boiling heat transfer is enhanced significantly for all boiling modes with raising the degree of subcooling. At the highest degree of subcooling of 40°C, the critical heat flux is improved by nearly 300% as compared to that in saturated water. In addition, the rewetting temperature (i.e., Leidenfrost point) was found to increase as a nearly linear function of the degree of subcooling. The quench front was observed to propagate upward from the bottom of the rodlet, which is accelerated noticeably with increasing the degree of subcooling. The average quench front velocity was shown to agree well with the predicted value of an existing theoretical model that was modified to take the influence of subcooling into consideration.     

Determination of Manganese (II) in Foodstuffs by β-Cyclodextrin Polymer Phase Spectrophotometry with 1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol

The chromogenic agent, 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) was included in g -Cyclodextrin polymer ( g -CDP) and the modified polymer of inclusion of PAN ( g -CDP-PAN) was obtained. Based on the fact that g -CDP-PAN can adsorb Mn (II) in solution to form Mn (II)-PAN complex, a sensitive and selective solid phase spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amounts of Mn (II) has been developed. The maximum absorbance of Mn (II)-PAN complex in g -CDP was at 514 nm. The working range of the calibration graph was 2-12 w g of Mn (II). The interference of molybdenum, lead, cobalt, chromium, iron, nickel, zinc, tin, cadmium, and copper that form colored species with PAN in the polymer phase was investigated. The method was applied to the determination of Mn (II) in black rice and tea samples. A new method for the determination of trace amounts of manganese by polymer phase spectrophotometry is described. Manganese reacted with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) that was included in a g -cyclodextrin polymer. The absorbance of the colored polymer, packed into a 5 mm quartz cell, was determined directly at 514 nm. The proposed method was applied to the determination of manganese in black rice and tea samples.
