The invention provides a method for computational fluid dynamics and apparatuses making enable an efficient implementation and use of an enhanced jet-effect, either the Coanda-jet-effect, the hydrophobic jet-effect, or the waving-jet-effect, triggered by specifically shaped corpuses and tunnels. The method is based on the approaches of the kinetic theory of matter providing generalized equations of fluid motion and is generalized and translated into terms of electromagnetism. The method is applicable for slow-flowing as well as fast-flowing real compressible-extendable generalized fluids and enables optimal design of convergent-divergent nozzles, providing for the most efficient jet-thrust. The method can be applied to airfoil shape optimization for bodies flying separately and in a multi-stage cascaded sequence. The method enables apparatuses for electricity harvesting from the fluid heat-energy, providing a positive net-efficiency. The method enables generators for practical-expedient power harvesting using constructive interference of waves due to the waving jet-effect.

A method for treating arsenic-containing flue gas is disclosed. In the method, the arsenic-containing flue gas is subjected to a dry pre-dedusting treatment, and the dedusted flue gas is pre-cooled and then introduced into a vortex quenching system. The arsenic-containing flue gas is divided into high-temperature flue gas and low-temperature flue gas through the vortex quenching system. The outlet temperature of the low-temperature flue gas is dropped below the desublimation temperature of gaseous arsenic trioxide. The low-temperature flue gas is subjected to a gas-solid separation to obtain solid arsenic trioxide and treated flue gas.

A distillation system receives a feed solution to produce residue and distillate. A heat pump includes parts of a first and second heat exchangers, a working fluid, a working fluid compressor, and an expansion device. The working fluid receives available heat energy from the distillate in the second heat exchanger, receives at least some additional heat energy in the working fluid compressor, and releases at least some of that heat energy into the feed solution in the first heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger receives the feed solution, permitting transfer of at least some heat energy into it. A separator receives the feed solution from the first heat exchanger and separates it into the residue and distillate. The second heat exchanger receives the distillate, permitting transfer of at least some heat energy back into the working fluid. And a distillate extractor directs the distillate out of the second heat exchanger.

An apparatus to separate water droplets from an air stream. The apparatus includes an elongated tube, a reservoir, and a helix structure. The elongated tube has a first end, a second end, a longitudinal axis, an inner surface, an inlet opening at the first end of the elongated tube, the inlet opening arranged to accept the air stream tangentially relative to the longitudinal axis, and an outlet opening at the second end of the elongated tube. The reservoir is positioned at a second end of the elongated tube. The helix structure is positioned within the elongated tube and includes an upper surface, a lower surface arranged opposite the upper surface, an outer edge, and a variable pitch along a length of the elongated tube, the variable pitch providing a variable interior angle between an inner wall of the elongated tube and the upper surface of the helix structure.

A method for purifying an easily polymerizable substance efficiently to improve the troublesome matters when cleaning, e.g., reducing the number of times the metal mesh is cleaned. The method for purifying an easily polymerizable substance of the present invention comprises a step of introducing a crude liquid containing the easily polymerizable substance into a distillation column, and a first separation step of introducing a bottoms liquid extracted from a collection part of the distillation column into a wet cyclone, to separate a first purified liquid containing the easily polymerizable substance from a liquid containing an insoluble solid.

A tank includes a cone-shaped wall formed of steel and attached between a first dome-shaped surface formed of steel and a second dome-shaped surface formed of steel. The cone-shaped wall attached between the first dome-shaped surface and the second dome-shaped surface defines an oval-shape void of angled corners on the inside surface of tank such that, when a product contained in the tank is displaced, the product is displaced in a torus shaped vortex between the first dome-shaped surface and the second dome-shaped surface.
