      <title>TEN WAYS TO REDUCE CORROSION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/166542</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The following techniques that will reduce corrosion are reviewed: avoid creating turbulence and rotary motion, avoid crevices, avoid surface water collecting, avoid stress-corrosion, reduce internal condensation, good welding procedure, vigilance for stray current corrosion, proper contours in construction, avoid fretting corrosion, and prevention of bimetallic corrosion.]]></description>

      <title>THE VENTILATED BOX--ONE SPECIAL SOLUTION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/153740</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The risk of damage to cargo through condensation has traditionally been one of the major problems shipping lines have had to face.  With the introduction of containers to some routes where the problem occurs, the difficulties, far from diminishing, have in many ways become more complex. Efforts at finding a solution have in general been directed towards two types of systems, the removal of moist air from the container, and the absorption of moisture from the air. It is the purpose-built ventilated container which has risen to prominence as the major vehicle for the application of this new technology.  Significant advances have been made and it seems likely that further success will be achieved as demand for this type of unit slowly but steadily continues to increase.  The latter trend is evidenced by the plans of container manufacturers, while more and more producers in Western Europe are realising the potential of this market, the same trend is emerging in the Far East.]]></description>

      <title>CHARACTERISTICS OF STEAM CONDENSATION IN TURBINE STAGES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/60368</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Condensation of steam in turbines is analyzed under actual conditions, when the flow is disturbed by wake asymmetry and flow turbulence.  It is shown that because of the combined effect of turbulence and unsteadiness, the zone with intense moisture precipitation becomes greatly enlarged and condensation starts before the Wilson zone.]]></description>

      <title>PRECIPITATION OF MOISTURE IN ELEVATED-PRESSURE ZONES OF STEAM TURBINES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/53163</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The condensation of steam in real turbine stages at high flow turbulence is discussed.  It is found that turbulence has a marked effect on the initial condensation and precipitation of the liquid phase onto a film on the stationary blading.  Data are presented on measuring the amount of liquid in the film in different stages of a seven-stage turbine at elevated pressure.]]></description>

      <title>METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE EXPANSION OF CONDENSING STEAM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/53164</link>
      <description><![CDATA[From analysis of a set of equations describing the flow of condensing steam, a simplified graphical method is presented for finding the steam properties in nozzles, which makes possible rapid estimation, for certain initial conditions, of the onset of steam condensation, length of condensation shock, supercooling, and percentage of liquid moisture.  The application of the method is illustrated for conditions close to those of the stationary-nozzle block of the low-pressure part of steam turbines, i.e., in the case of flow in a Laval nozzle inscribed into the passage of the stationary blading cascade and in the case of supersonic expansion in the oblique discharge cross section of the cascade.]]></description>

      <title>CONDENSATION IN CONTAINERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/40313</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Condensation damage to containerized goods constitutes a problem of economics in addition to the physical problems of actually preventing condensation, say ICHCA (International Cargo Handling Coordination Association) in this report.  The report gives case-histories of condensation problems in the carriage of certain commodities.  Results of trial shipments are noted, and details given of certain other practices giving rise to an increased potential for condensation damage.  The report also reviews many of the methods of prevention or protection which have been tried or recommended.  The advantages and disadvantages of each are discussed.  Describes what is believed to be the ultimate solution to the problem.  (No further information in article).]]></description>

      <title>MARITIME TRANSPORTATION OF CONTAINERIZED CARGO</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/5190</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Condensation may cause severe damage to cargo loaded in containers.  The condensation phenomenon is discussed in general.  Some major important factors with regard to the condensation risk have been evaluated theoretically as well as practically.  A certain transportation situation viz. the transport of tins in cardboard boxes loaded in containers from Australia to Europe v.v. is simulated with the help of an electronic computer.  The results from these calculations are compared with measurements that could be performed under normal practical conditions. Recommendations are given concerning the measures that can be taken to avoid or to minimize condensation.  Proposals for future work are made.]]></description>

      <title>CONTROL OF CONDENSATION IN SHIPS' HOLDS AND CONTAINERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2685</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Instances of damage to goods from condensation are described and the disadvantages of several methods of humidity control are explained.  The "Cold Finger" method is described, which is a portable refrigerator unit, wherein the air in the ship's hold is drawn over a cooled radiator, so that the air reaches a dewpoint temperature and allows moisture to be removed.  This moisture is allowed to collect in a trough and is run away into a reservoir, or in the case of a ship's hold, is run through the scuppers.  A modification of the Cold Finger unit which is used in the ship's holds can be applied to a container.  In practice the containers after filling are dehydrated by means of the mini units to a level whereby the relative humidity of the atmosphere in the container will be maintained at a low level.]]></description>
