Capillary tubes are generally used as the metering device on small, fractional-horsepower refrigeration systems. Charging these systems with refrigerant requires a different procedure than those ...

The capillary tube is a very popular metering device used on many fractional horsepower refrigeration systems. It is basically a length of very small diameter copper tubing soldered or brazed between ...

Although vapor-compression refrigeration is a simple concept, there are still a lot of details in the implementation of such a system that determines exactly how efficient it is. After making a few of ...

Going down: a droplet of honey in a superhydrophobic coated tube. (Courtesy: Aalto University) Honey and other highly viscous fluids can flow faster than water in specially coated capillary tubes.

Tube radial distribution chromatography (TRDC) is an innovative separation technique that exploits the spontaneous radial segregation of mixed solvent systems under laminar flow conditions in ...
