Influence of air and water temperature on fill characteristics curve
In a previous paper, the author discussed approximations of the Merkel Theory, as well as other approximations included in the CTI recommended method of calculation of the Demand curves. The paper concluded that the familiar difference of enthalpies, used as a cooling potential, which is the Merkel Theory, could continue to be used by simply adding a corrective multiplying factor derived from a direct comparison of the exact theory and the Merkel Theory. At the end of the paper the author briefly showed that the corrections to the Demand curve was only one part of the picture and that there was also an influence of the temperatures of the Characteristic curve side. The object of this paper is to now review the influence of the air and water temperature on the Characteristic curve. This completes the work presented last year.
