    Water in a refrigeration cycle

    Hi Everybody, hope somebody can help me. I tried to search in old post but without success. I am trying to calculate some heat exchangers where water is utilized as refrigerant, that is: enters in the condenser as steam and condenses and it is evaporated in the evaporator (enters as water...

    friction factor and materials

    Hi all ! I am sorry to disturb you with a so banal question, but I'd need your help to clarify a basic doubt. This doubt is: if I use f = 0.046/Re^(-0.2) to calculate the friction factor, this factor is independent by tube material. This means that if I use this formula, if I have the same...

    Electrode Potential and kinetics

    Hallo to everybody ! Please, I’d like to know if somebody can help me in this issue: When I consider the galvanic couple of 1) aluminum and copper, the electrode potential of aluminum is -1.66V, while copper is +0.34V. As a consequence aluminum is the less noble metal and will be subjected to...
