The increasing contamination control requirements for disk drives, and the prevailing mandate to climinate chlorinated solvents in cleaning applications have allowed high-pressure water spray to emerge as an effective and environmentally sound method for cleaning. Certain substrates, such as machined metals and alloys, can be cleaned using high-pressure water to state-of-the-art cleanliness levels. Following developmental investigations in the laboratory, two cleaners utilizing high-pressure (up to 3000 psig), high-flow (up to 50 gpm) water have been procured for use at suppliers of critical disk-drive components. Acceptance-runoff, certification, and production-run cleanliness data pertaining two the two high-pressure cleaners are presented here in terms of liquid-born particle counts on contaminants extracted from substrates ultrasonically, or by means of a low-pressure water spray. Results indicate that residual particulate contamination levels on high-pressure sprayed parts may be lower by more than two orders of magnitude compared with those obtained by more conventional cleaning methods. The cleaning efficiency increases significantly with particle size. The importance of nozzle manifold design and placement, for both cleaning and drying, is demonstrated quantitatively with examples of the deleterious consequences of not optimizing them. The underlying cleaning mechanism is explained briefly. Potential advantages and disadvantages associated with high-pressure water spray cleaning are fully discussed, and recommendations are offered for utilizing this technology most effectively.

SUMMARYAn outbreak of psittacosis related to a bird park occurred in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, Japan, during winter 2001. Seventeen cases of psittacosis (12 visitors, three staff, and two student interns) were confirmed. A cohort study was conducted among the park staff and students to determine the risk factors for the development of acute serologically confirmed psittacosis (SCP) infection. Being ‘bird staff’ had an increased risk of SCP infection (RR 3·96, 95% CI 1·48–10·58). Entering the staff building, where ill birds were maintained without proper isolation, was also associated with an increased risk of SCP infection (RR 3·61, 95% CI 1·03–12·6). Isolation of ill birds and quarantine measures were found to be insufficient. Dehumidifiers and a high-pressure water spray under a closed ventilation environment may have raised the concentration of Chlamydophila psittaci in the hothouses. Bird park staff and visitors should be educated about psittacosis.

The spray cleaning method is important and universal in many industrial processes and other occasion. Because the size of the waterdrop is one of key factors for cleaning, this paper not only studied the relationship between the size of waterdrop and other influencing factors, but also researched the forecasted method for the size of waterdrop. In lab, by measuring the size of the waterdrop, jetted by one kind of nozzle, data were acquired and were used to train the Back Propagation Neural Network ( BPNN ). Through comparing those diameters, between measured in lab and calculated by BPNN after trained. It was acquired that the maximum errors was smaller than 1.62%, between the computed results and the factual measured ones. The experimental results showed that BPNN is an effective tool to predict the variation of the non-linear waterdrop diameter.

Supercritical water fluidized bed reactor (SCWFBR) is a promising new reaction vessel which can effectively gasify wet biomass and efficiently produce hydrogen. Free convection heat transfer from particle in supercritical water (SCW) is a major basic heat transfer mechanism in a fixed bed or fluidized bed with low superficial velocity. In this paper, numerical study on the steady free convection heat transfer around single sphere particle in high pressure water of pseudo-critical zone was carried out. Both the Boussinesq approximation method and real properties model (considering variable specific heat, density, viscosity, and conductivity of SCW) were incorporated to simulate the flow and temperature field. With respect to Boussinesq approximation, real properties model shows higher vorticity and temperature gradients in the vicinity of the sphere surface, which shows variation of thermo-physical property has remarkable effect on the free convection heat transfer process. High local Nusselt number and high heat transfer rate were observed with real properties model.

The paper is devoted to ensuring the fire safety of an important object for the majority of megacities as the underground. The author examines in detail the fire-hazardous production processes and talks about the use of high-pressure water spray (WS) for extinguishing fires at underground facilities as the most effective firefighting measures. The paper describes the advantages of using of high-pressure water spray for automatic fire extinguishing in terms of safety and cost-effectiveness.
