The Wire

SummaryExperimental work is described showing that a major cause of changes in the calibrations of hot-wire anemometers consists in the precipitation of dust on the upstream surface of the wire during use. A simple means of cleaning the air in closed-circuit wind tunnels is described. The rate of change of calibration due to dust was reduced in the Manchester University Fluid Motion Laboratory by at least a factor of 15, by adequate cleaning of the air and by minimising the amount of interchange between the tunnel air and the atmosphere. It is concluded that where accurate results are required from hot wires used in a wind tunnel, the tunnel should be designed to be dust-free.

Speciation Calculation

Calcium carbonate scaling often is a critical problem for recycled board mills that have closed water circuits. The objective of this study was to determine local scaling risks throughout the production process. To predict scaling potential, we calculated several saturation indexes, based on speciation determined from detailed water analyses. Calculated scaling trends are in accordance with observed dissolution and precipitation of calcium carbonate in the process, when considering local aeration phenomena. The importance of volatile fatty acids (resulting from anaerobic bacterial activity) in calco-carbonic equilibriums is discussed, and taken into account in the speciation calculation. We also demonstrate the need to measure inorganic carbon instead of alkalinity in such conditions. This makes typical scaling indexes, such as the Ryznar Stability Index, irrelevant to predict scaling risk in closed circuit conditions; thus, it is necessary to use general speciation methods, as described in this paper.
