This paper presents an exergetic analysis of a single pass counterflow plate type heat exchanger for cryogenic applications. The special focus of the analysis is the study of the effect of axial dispersion which takes the flow maldistribution into consideration. It is found that with unutilized exer

β¦ Synopsis
Scale formation of CaCO 3 in a plate heat exchanger is investigated in the presence of various types of added particles under isothermal conditions. The parameters examined include the degree of supersaturation, the type of particles, the flow velocity, the particle concentration and the direction of flow inside the heat exchanger. The key result of this work is the strong synergistic effect of fine aragonite particles on the deposition rate and the morphology of the deposits. On the contrary, the presence of fine titanium oxide and of relatively large calcite particles does not seem to affect the main scaling characteristics of CaCO 3 .

## Abstract The dumbbellβlike calcium carbonate (CaCO~3~) crystals were synthesized in the presence of trisodium citrate. Different morphologies were obtained by changing the reaction temperature and the trisodium citrate concentration. The obtained samples were characterized by means of Xβray diff
Certain petroleum cokes produce "doublet" (001) X-ray diffraction peaks after they have been heattreated in the 1300" to 1900Β°C temperature range. These cokes undergo an irreversible volume expansion in this same range. If an additive such as Fe,O, which suppresses the volume expansion is added, the
