The article presents a case study wherein a crude vacuum tower overhead system's troubleshoot operation was corrected. The system comprises of 12 steam ejectors and 12 condensers. The vacuum tower pressure became unstable due to the onset of summer and higher cooling water temperature. The importance of offgas analysis, the need to analyze both ejectors and condensers to identify the source of the malfunction, and the impact of motive steam conditions on vacuum column operation are discussed.

This article focuses on flashover which is define as the sudden involvement of a room or an area in flames from floor to ceiling caused by thermal radiation feedback. Thermal radiation feedback is the energy of the fire being radiated back to the contents of the room from the walls, floor, and ceiling. This radiation of energy to the contents of the room will raise all the contents to their ignition temperature. Another important concept to understand is the physics of the flashover. Several factors will affect whether or not a room will flash over. The size of the room, the combustible contents, the air supply, and the insulation of the room all combine to determine a room's flashover potential.

The article focuses on attaining uniform and balanced flow of material to each cavity in multi-cavity molding. It notes that minor temperature changes from one zone to another can create imbalances in filling within a matter of minutes. It explains the sources of changes in the hot-runner temperature.

The article discusses the importance of choosing the right hydraulic fluid, considered as the most relevant component of a hydraulic system. It mentions the ideal characteristics of hydraulic fluid such as having a high thermal stability, long-lasting and with constant viscosity, regardless of temperature. It discusses the factors the influence hydraulic fluid performance including viscosity, water retention and foaming.

The article discusses the importance of mobile phase pH and elevated temperatures in modern drug discovery. It states that the two important tools are well-suited for Hamilton's PRP-C18 column because the polymer-based stationary phase is chemically inert and has excellent thermal stability above 100 degrees. It adds that these tools allow rapid separation of closely-related basic solutes in their charge-neutral forms that would co-elute under non-alkaline conditions.

The article discusses the aesthetic attributes of warmth or coldness of a machine design. It focuses on the tactile sense of a product's warmth or coldness, considering the lump parameter of an object that has been based on the material's thermal properties. Moreover, it describes further aesthetic attributes of a design, regarding the softness and hardness of the material.

The article reports on the use of thermopile sensor in infrared (IR) digital thermometers. It is noted hat the thermopile sensor allows an ear digital thermometer to measure the infrared heat of the eardrum which reflects the temperature of the hypothalamus. The thermopile infrared sensor consists of a number of thermocouples connected in series.

The article discusses the importance of thermal evaluation of integrated circuits to ensure system reliability. Measuring thermal response with this type of board proves that the rise in temperature under full-load conditions of the dual low-dropout increases from 32°C (four-layer with vias) to 59°C. Under these conditions, the maximum ambient temperature is (125°C--59°C), or 66°C. This temperature difference is primarily due to lack of internal layers and vias directly into the copper plane, as the JEDEC standard defines. Thus, although data-sheet specifications are accurate, the physical implementation of the product on the pc board weakens the device's thermal performance.
