Supercritical fluid

 



Supercritical fluid 


In the beginning, I must say, that water is not only supercritical fluid (1) in the world. Supercritical water or rather saying supercritical fluid is one of the solutions, which might affect climate chancing. The supercritical water is boiled to an extremely high temperature in the very high pressure. That thing can turn the water to the form, which is at the same time liquid and vapor. The critical temperature of the water is 374 Celsius and the pressure 22 MPa, and that thing could make the turbines more powerful and effective if that kind of steam would conduct to the turbines. 


So in this type of high-pressure system, the steam would be replaced by using the supercritical fluid, which is boiled to a higher temperature in the very high pressure, which is upper than the minimum critical point. So how this kind of system is working? The answer is that the circuit, where the water is flowing would have the base pressure, what is very high, and then that water is traveling through the grate. 


The system is similar, which is used in the nuclear reactor primary circuit. In the nuclear power plants, the high-pressure water would conduct to the heat exchanger, where it delivers its heat energy to the secondary circuit. The reason for that is that the primary circuit is touching with very high radioactive elements.  


What if the tubes in the power plant would be closed to the vacuum, which denies the transferring heat to the atmosphere. 


But if that kind of system is used in the normal powerplants, what are using natural gas or maybe in future hydrogen, there is possible to use only one circuit of water. In this kind of system the supercritical fluid, what is boiled in the gas oven would conduct the turbines, and that thing can create more power with less fuel. 


And at this point, I must say that there is no experience with this kind of powerplants and high-pressure water systems. This kind of system can be more effective than normal steam-based systems, because the supercritical fluid is thicker, and that makes gives it more kinetic energy than if the system uses normal steam. 


Another thing that can increase the energy economy of the power plants is to use the thermos solution in the tubes of the power plants. That thing means that every single tube, where moves hot water should be closed in the vacuum. This kind of thing would deny the movement of the heat to the air, and that is another thing, that will decrease the need to use the fuel, and that decreases also the waste.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som...

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t...

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between  USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull.  The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting ...
