Hey Kracken,
Just want to say- don't let anyone tell you you can't start a business in your garage. A friend of mine when he was a teenager loved those wild west shows with special FX and bullwhip feats. He started stunt training, working with cryogenic/pyrotechnic equipment, and meanwhile...
Okay, assuming W loses all 6 electrons like it can, that sounds like a pretty strong bond. I suppose it would be insoluble in pretty much anything. Thank you.

I'm presuming the reaction goes something like 2H_{3}PO_{4} + 2W → 3H_{2} + 2WPO_{4}
Since I'm pretty sure copper phosphate works just fine for...
Wow thanks- I just realized you indirectly answered my big question! A flash distillation system uses multiple stages because once the pressure of the vapor reaches a certain point, no more water can evaporate and we have to restart the cycle. So this system probably won't produce 1 L for every...

Looks like going from 0.5 to 0.6668 inHg it should rise from 15 to 20˚C (59-68˚F).
But there has to be other factors hindering the vacuum formation. Otherwise I might as well expect to reach near 0.1668 inHg, boiling point -2˚C. And that's...
Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I guess you're saying that the escaped air will increase the chamber pressure enough that the water's boiling point will rise too much and nothing will happen. These figures seem to suggest that the pressure increase wouldn't be significant. But maybe...
Hey, I came across this idea a couple of years ago. It's been a long time since I took introductory physics. But I'm curious as to whether this is feasible. If I'm crazy, just say so!
See attached image.
1. Intake tube, vacuum chamber and condenser are initially filled with water. Valve (A)...
Excellent! Thank you BBB. The walls are a copper pipe segment wound with an electric heating element, so hopefully there shouldn't be much condensation there. If my condenser coil is long enough w.r.t. to the evaporator, then the vapor should rise and flow around the bend...
It would be...
Anybody know this one? I need to know for an evaporator design.
Because there's no buoyancy from air, I'd think it would sink (this answer was given on Yahoo), but if it sank then there would be a low pressure area left above, and so the vapor should rise to fill it, hence evenly distributing...
