Data Points

The dew point temperature is related to the total water vapor content available in the atmosphere column. In this study, Water Vapor Content (WVC) from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) and Relative humidity from Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis (RAMA) buoy data has been utilized to make a relationship between satellite measured WVC and Dew point temperature. This study focuses on the development of an algorithm to estimate the surface dew point temperature from satellite-based WVC. Regression coefficients are established using 9-years (2004-2012) data of Dew point Temperature computed from Relative humidity and satellite measured WVC. 1594 data points are observed weekly, mean monthly collocated data points are considered to examine the relationship between Dew point temperature and WVC.

Stack Gas

The baking industry is considered as one of the major energy consuming food industries in North America. More than 40% of bakery fuel consumption is used to evaporate water in the processes [1]. In addition to the baking process’ vapor the oven stack gas contains water vapor from combustion products. Overall the content of water vapor in the typical oven stack gas is about 20% by volume. Most bakeries waste this vapor and its latent heat. Bakeries’ ovens have wide diversity in power and design. Off-the-shelve heat exchangers are not considered as cost effective equipment for stack gas cooling below gas’ dew point temperature. At typical oven stack gas composition water vapor condensation begins to condense at about 72° C. Not using the latent heat of stack water vapor and the heat from gas cooling from dew point temperature to ambient temperature results in low effectiveness of waste heat recovery. Mainly the effect from the recovery of stack gas cooling prior to condensation is considered as non cost effective and waste heat recovery is neglected.

Local Water

A device is described for measuring dew-point temperature and water vapor pressure in small confined areas. The method is based on the deposition of water on a cooled surface when at dew-point temperature. A small Peltier module lowers the temperature of two electrically conductive plates. At dew point the insulating gap separating the plates becomes conductive as water vapor condenses. Sensors based on this principle can be made small and rugged and can be used for measuring directly the local water vapor pressure. They may be installed within a conventional ventilated sweat capsule used for measuring water vapor loss from the skin surface. A novel application is the measurement of the water vapor pressure gradients across layers of clothing worn by an exercising subject.
