Processes 2019, 7, 248 4 of 16 2.2. Theory 2.2.1. Classical Nucleation Theory According to classical nucleation theory [14], the nucleation rate (J) can be expressed according to Equation (1), i.e.,  (kBT) (lnS)  where A is the pre-exponential factor, β is the geometric factor, γsl is the interfacial free energy, v is the molecular volume, kB is the Boltzmann constant, T is the absolute temperature, and S is the supersaturation. Generally, the induction time tind consists of three parts: the relaxation time, tr; the time required to generate a stable nucleus, tn; and the time required for the nucleus to grow to be detectable, tg. Making the assumption that the tind is mainly composed of tn, which is inversely proportional to the nucleation rate, we get: J=K·t −1 (2) ind Combining Equations (1) and (2), the relationship between induction time and supersaturation can be given by:  βγ3v2   sl  J = A exp− 3 2  (1) 32 K  βγslv  t=exp  (3) ind   A 32 (kBT) (lnS)  Taking the logarithm of both sides of Equation (3) and rearranging gives: βγsl 3 v2 lntind = 3 2 +B (4) (kBT) (lnS) Equation (4) has been proved to be valid by Sohnel and Mullin when the induction time is mainly dominated by the time required to generate a stable nucleus [15]. Supersaturation is an important factor affecting the nucleation rate. In addition to classical nucleation theory, the nucleation rate can also be considered a function of supersaturation, as shown in the following empirical equation, Equation (5). The effect of supersaturation on the nucleation rate can be visually reflected by determining the nucleation order. The empirical equation can be given by: J = k∆Cn (5) Combining Equations (2) and (5), we get: t=K (6) ind k(∆C)n The relationship between relative supersaturation and the supersaturation ratio can be expressed as: σ = S − 1 = ∆C (7) supersaturation can be given by: t=K (8) ind k(σC∗ )n Taking the logarithm of both sides of Equation (8) and rearranging gives: 􏲝K􏲞 ln tind = ln k(C∗)n − nln(σ) (9) C∗ Combining Equations (6) and (7), the relationship between induction time and relative

Product and Development Focus for Infinity Turbine

ORC Waste Heat Turbine and ORC System Build Plans: All turbine plans are $10,000 each. This allows you to build a system and then consider licensing for production after you have completed and tested a unit.

Redox Flow Battery Technology: With the advent of the new USA tax credits for producing and selling batteries ($35/kW) we are focussing on a simple flow battery using shipping containers as the modular electrolyte storage units with tax credits up to $140,000 per system.

Our main focus is on the salt battery. This battery can be used for both thermal and electrical storage applications.

We call it the Cogeneration Battery or Cogen Battery.

One project is converting salt (brine) based water conditioners to simultaneously produce power.

In addition, there are many opportunities to extract Lithium from brine (salt lakes, groundwater, and producer water).

Salt water or brine are huge sources for lithium. Most of the worlds lithium is acquired from a brine source. It's even in seawater in a low concentration. Brine is also a byproduct of huge powerplants, which can now use that as an electrolyte and a huge flow battery (which allows storage at the source).

We welcome any business and equipment inquiries, as well as licensing our turbines for manufacturing.
