Honeywell - Ignoring Hydrology Science and Issued Patents
My
Demand to USPTO
It is not that hard to argue at the Court of
the Law that Hydrological issues
should be examined by Hydrologists.
My demand to USPTO is the same as the first
letter sent on Oct. 2006:
1. Hire
Examiners with background in Hydrogeology and/or Soil Physics so that they have
full comprehension of fluids moving on porosity;
2. Cancel
issued patents with scientific flaws. Obsolete patents are cancelled naturally by
becoming outdated;
3. Make a
public statement about Hydrology negligence hurting all Hydrological community
as well as my project that needs experts in Hydrology to protect the content of
my issued claims.
4. Compensate
for my losses since as an inventor filing patents I was not expecting lay
people handling hydrology in the examination process by USPTO.
5. Since USPTO
is failing to protect my IP rights my patents should be eligible for time
extension of their expiration dates (new demand).
6. Issue a
bill requiring Hydrology be handled by Hydrologists preventing laypeople from
harming standing common knowledge in the scientific literature (new demand).
7. Disclose the technical and
educational background of the Patent Examiners showing their expertise
boundaries for judgment (new demand).
8. Make people
accountable for breaking THE LAW regarding my
complaints (old demand).

US 6,766,817, p. 23, line. 24) ‘A fluid generally possesses characteristics of internal adhesion-cohesion, which leads to its own strength and attraction to the solid phase of porosity. Capillary action is a theoretical proposal to deal with fluid movement on porous systems, but capillary action is restricted to tubing geometries that are difficult to apply because such geometries do not permit lateral fluid flow. Nevertheless, the geometry of the cylinder is one of the best rounding microstructure to concentrate attraction toward the core of the rounding circle because the cylinder only permits longitudinal flow. In order to provide a required lateral flow in the porosity, a special geometric figure of tube like is disclosed herein. Such a geometric figure is defined herein as simply comprising a "tubarc"--a combination of a tube with an arc.’

Abstract
Improvements in tubes, which increase the heat exchange capacity of tubular heat exchangers using the tubes, are described. These improvements involve the use of one or more external surface enhancements, optionally combined with an internal enhancement and/or differing tube geometries. These improvements apply, for example, to internal condensers, including those in which the tube bundles are oriented vertically, in vapor-liquid contacting apparatuses such as distillation columns.
Claims
1. A method of exchanging heat between a first fluid and a second fluid, the method comprising condensing the first fluid on external surfaces of a tube bundle for a condenser comprising tubes, wherein at least a portion of the tubes, in an axially extending section, have internal surfaces having a coating comprising a porous metallic matrix bonded thereon, and have external surfaces comprising circumferentially extending fins, and passing the second fluid through the tubes.
6. A method of purifying a lower boiling component from an impure mixture by distillation, the method comprising: (a) contacting a vapor enriched in the lower boiling component on the external surfaces of a plurality of condenser tubes of an apparatus for vapor-liquid contacting, comprising a vertically oriented column having disposed therein the plurality of condenser tubes extending substantially vertically over a section of the column length, wherein at least a portion of the condenser tubes have external surfaces comprising one or more surface enhancements, and (b) passing a cooling fluid through the condenser tubes.
9. The method of claim 6, wherein the surface enhancements comprise circumferentially extending fins.
[0051] FIGS. 7A-7D illustrate in more detail some representative cross sections of tubes having shaped recessions 36 on their external surfaces 27. In particular, the shaped recessions 36 in FIGS. 7A and 7D have a curved cross-sectional shape that is semi-circular, while the shaped recessions 36 in FIG. 7B have a triangular cross-sectional shape. Other curved and rectangular (e.g., semi-elliptical and square) cross-sectional shapes are possible. Another embodiment in which tube surfaces are enhanced with shaped recessions 36 is shown in FIG. 7C, where, as in FIG. 7B, the cross-sectional shapes of recessions 36, spaced (e.g., uniformly) about the periphery of the surface of tube 2, are triangles. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7C, however, these triangles are broad enough such that only small sections or points of the external surface 27 of tube 2 remain (or are not part of the shaped recessions), with these sections being spaced radially about the periphery of tube 2. The axial extension of these sections or points results in axially extending ridges. Such a tube with axially extending, shaped recessions 36b or troughs aligned in axial rows 22b is also illustrated in the front view of FIG. 6.
[0052] In FIG. 7D, the axially extending ridges, similarly formed between these shaped recessions, have a smooth, curved (e.g., semi-circular) cross-sectional shape of the same or a similar dimension as the curved cross sectional shape forming the shaped recessions. The cross sectional shape of this tube therefore has a generally circular perimeter defined by alternating, concave and convex curves (e.g., semi-circles). The resulting, smooth external surface contrasts with the embodiment shown in FIG. 7A, where the shaped recessions form edges. Therefore, as shown, for example in the embodiment of FIG. 7D, the shaped recessions can provide a fluted profile of a fluted tube. Fluted tubes or other tubes having axially extending shaped recessions or discreet, shaped recessions aligned in axially extending rows as depicted, for example, in FIGS. 7A-7D may be characterized as having two outer diameters. Smaller and larger outer diameters may be the distances, respectively, to opposing deepest points of recessions 36 and opposing external surfaces 27, with each of these distances being measured through the center of the cross section of tube 2. Representative tubes having axially extending shaped recessions will have smaller and larger outer diameters in the ranges from about 13 mm (0.5 inches) to about 32 mm (1.25 inches) and from about 19 mm (0.75 inches) to about 38 mm (1.5 inches), respectively. In exemplary embodiments, such a tube will have outer diameters of about 19 mm (0.75 inches) and about 25 mm (1.0 inches) or outer diameters of about 25 mm (1.0 inches) and about 32 mm (1.25 inches).
[0056] The use of axially or generally extending shaped recessions and/or fins, in this manner, as tube surface enhancements, can reduce condensate film thickness and/or facilitate condensate drainage, thereby improving the heat transfer coefficient of the tube. Such features as surface enhancements for tubes are particularly advantageous in internal tubular condensers (e.g., disposed in distillation columns), where the heat exchange surface area, as well as the total weight of equipment that can be practically installed (e.g., at or near the top of the column or tower) are both limited. The tube surface enhancements discussed above may be used alone or in combination. The tube surface enhancements may also be used in combination with internal enhancements as discussed above, and particularly spiral ridges that may act to further improve heat transfer. Otherwise, these surface enhancements may be combined with a coating, such as a porous metallic matrix used to form an enhanced boiling layer as discussed above, that is bonded onto internal surfaces of the tubes, for example, in at least the same region of the tubes (e.g., extending over a section of the column height) as the surface enhancements. The surface enhancements may also be used in tube bundles in which all or a portion of the tubes have a non-linear central axis (e.g., a helical axis), or otherwise have a twisted tube geometry as discussed above, in at least the same region of the tubes as the surface enhancements. In a representative embodiment, for example, a tube bundle of a condenser, having tubes with a fluted tube profile and an internal enhancement including one or more spiral ridges, is aligned vertically in the upper section of a distillation column. Various other combinations of surface enhancements, optionally with an internal surface coating and/or non-linear or twisted geometries, can be incorporated into tubes to improve their heat transfer coefficient, particularly when the tubes are used in a tube bundle that is oriented vertically and used in a service in which condensate drains vertically from the external surfaces of the tubes (i.e., on the "shell side" of the condenser).
I would like to suggest Americans to send messages to those emails below pledging them to be honest and stop violating intellectual property rights allowing huge corporations to reinvent issued patents shamefully violating science.
