Guess I'll go look for a new book of steam tables because I now know that the old one (that's been in use for many years) is wrong.  |
Apparently so CJ....and dinky little knives at that...
An ammonia-guy huh? A rare-breed these days! I'll call you brother; as I cut my heat-engine teeth on ammonia-systems in ice-cream plants in the 60's; working with my dad, who was a refrigeration engineer.
I look forward to joining you in future threads on fuel-economy and other ways to usefully extract the surplus heat-energy via the turboexpander.
