Methods and systems for generating process gases
Methods for the gas-phase delivery of gases, such as process gases, from the gas phase of a multicomponent source liquid are provided. The methods are generally directed to the generation of process gases having mass flow rates which are proportional to the input power delivered to the multicomponent source liquid containers. The methods may be used to deliver process gases to critical process applications.

BOILER
Provided is a boiler configured to perform heating by a heat generation section provided with heat generation bodies in a container and capable of properly charging a circulation path including, as part thereof, the inside of the container with required gas.
A boiler includes: heat generation bodies; a container configured such that the heat generation bodies are provided inside and configured chargeable with gas with higher specific heat than that of air; and a circulation path including, as part thereof, the inside of the container, the circulation path being a path in which gas circulates. When the charging process of charging the circulation path with the gas is performed, a circulation amount and a gas concentration in the circulation path are monitored.
APPARATUS FOR AND METHOD OF PRODUCING ULTRAFINE BUBBLE-CONTAINING LIQUID, AND ULTRAFINE BUBBLE-CONTAINING LIQUID
Provided is a method of producing an ultrafine bubble-containing liquid containing ultrafine bubbles generated by causing film boiling in a liquid with a heat generation member, including: detaching a solid present at a liquid contact surface of the heat generation member in a form of a microscopic substance by using the film boiling; and generating ultrafine bubbles with the detached microscopic substance as a core.

POWER RECOVERY FROM QUENCH AND DILUTION VAPOR STREAMS
A process for reducing pressure of a vapor stream used for reducing a temperature or pressure in a reactor. A pressure of a vapor stream is reduced with a turbine to provide a lower pressure vapor stream. The vapor stream rotates a turbine wheel within the turbine. The turbine wheel is configured to transmit rotational movement to an electrical generator. Thus, electricity is generated with the turbine. The lower pressure vapor stream is injected into a reactor and reduces a temperature in the reactor or reduces a partial pressure of a hydrocarbon vapor in the reactor.
