[Vo]:Pump power must be included

Peter, The Rossi effect is controlled in a narrow range by balancing heat removal and heat addition. It will not work reliably without constant heat removal. Therefore, power input related to the proper operation must be included as P-in. Jones From: Peter Gluck Dear

Dear Jones, If the power has to be included, it has to be measured. But only a part of the energy consumed by the motor of the pump is used to make the water to moveand this produces a small heating of water due to friction, So the reverse is true- the power of the motor has to be subtracted from

Dear Peter, I do not understand the problem. There are two systems involved: heat and electricity At the system level P-out is thermal and refers to net heat. The calorimetry determines P-out for heat. P-in for the system, not for the calorimetry, is determined by the sum of all the

OK, old friend I understand what you sya, the energy of the pump is consumed, is money spent for making the generator to work. No connection with heat balance of the system- but goes to expenses. Right? Peter On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 6:42 PM, Jones Beene jone...@pacbell.net wrote: Dear Peter,

a) The pump does add a tiny amount of heat to the water passing through it : the input temperature should be measured AFTER the pump. b) There is FRICTIONAL loss in a pipe http://www.efunda.com/formulae/fluids/calc_pipe_friction.cfm (Though in that calculation it's expressed as pressure drop).

Whether or not the water flow is powered by the pump or a waterfall, the kinetic energy of the flow may be a factor. A lack of water movement may explain why some PF type cells failed to perform in the past. They depended on the fickle nature of convection to spring to life. Harry yes,
