Talk:Thermic siphon

message: Quote:
"Fresh cold water introduced from the injectors is pre-heated by passage through the syphons before arriving at the crown sheet".
I don't agree with this statement.  The feedwater will have been pre-heated (by being mixed with hot water in the boiler barrel) before it gets anywhere near the thermic syphons.  The thermic syphons are not feedwater heaters, they are just part of the boiler heating surface. Please discuss. Biscuittin (talk) 08:41, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accuracy 

message: Locomotives with wide fireboxes often had arch tubes to support the brick arch.  I've never seen an arch tube but I think it was a simplified version of a thermic syphon. Does anyone have more information?  Biscuittin (talk) 08:48, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Simplified to the point where it wasn't a siphon. It carried water, it added radiant heating area, but because of the shallow angle needed to support the arch, it wasn't as effective as a true syphon for thermosyphon circulation. A thermosyphon needs more height difference between the ends. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:02, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Syphon or Siphon 

message: There's no explanation of just how these devices work. Is it that the heated and thus expanded water rises? Are bubbles and steam created? There doesn't seem to be a pump involved... Dan Griscom (talk) 02:19, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thermic syphons are thermosyphons. Might be worth making this more obvious in the text here. A _lot_ of steam is created, as thermic syphons are placed in the hottest part of the firebox, with lots of radiant heating directly from the fire. Andy Dingley (talk) 06:30, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

This quote was removed from the page as it is a dead link and is not something that can reasonably be demonstrated from Scripture.

message: I removed Robin Gibb from the list in this article.
* Robin Gibb
Robin Gibb died of colon cancer, that had spread to his liver. He did not die of primary liver cancer but of colon cancer and metastases of colon cancer in his liver.
He said: "... then I was diagnosed with colon cancer, which spread to the liver." according to the Wikipedia article about him.
Besides that David Bowie probably died of pancreatic cancer that (as typical for this disease) had spread metastases to his liver.
This article gives a hint about that: https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/101071/golden-tears-david-bowie-had-six-heart-attacks-before-his-death-but-kept-cancer-secret-from-everyone-but-closest-pals/

Talk:Cosmic Jackpot

message: I just heard an interview with Davies on NPR  and he explicitly stated a number of times that he did not support the notion of a multiverse, whereby all possible potentialities are instantiated in numerous parallel universes and we just happen to be in one that supports our existence.
Perhaps this article intends the term 'mutliverse' in a manner different from Davies use of the term.  If that is the case, I suggest that the article define its use of this term and site where Davies advocates this view.  In any case, the association between Davies and this concept needs to be reconciled with his assertions made on the Nov. 23rd airing of Science Friday - ref. above.  Thank you.

Surely since this is an entry for an English & Welsh topic the spelling of the word "judgement" should be the UK English spelling with perhaps a redirect page from the US spelling?
Or, if this would break policy perhaps a redirect from the UK spelling?

message: All the manual skilled trades were represented in Awali, as were doctors, dentists, nurses, secretaries, accountants and schoolteachers. From as early as the late Forties, all the homes and offices within Awali were fully centralized air conditioned and it was a magical place to spend formative years. The discovery of oil in Bahrain bought with it many skilled foreign workers, necessitating the construction of a whole new town to house the workers and their families. The establishment of Awali heralded another first for Bahrain; a purpose built compound, with centralized air conditioned housing and leisure facilities plus hot and cold running water. Luxury household items and food began to appear bringing a standard of living, hitherto, unknown to the island. The designers of the oil company community of Awali made it one of the first centrally air conditioned cities ever built, to the everlasting gratitude of the people who work there.
