At 3% to 5% of total volume, it makes sense that the powder is distributed evenly around the walls of the reaction vessel. This will evenly distribute the heat of reaction evenly to the walls of the reaction vessel.raphael wrote:This is the type of heater Rossi is using:Axil wrote:Concerning the responses to my last post as follows:
Some background...
I have heard that Rossi is using a commercial plastic extrusion nozzle. These nozzles all use inductive high-frequency alternating current (AC). I will be looking to verify this from a direct Q&A from Rossi.
Plastic extrusion nozzles use high-frequency alternating current (AC) to support inductive heating.
Since I am no expert on current flow through a hollow conductor, I used this reference to generate my last post.
Please compare your response to the following reference. They are not compatible.

Nano powder is ferromagnetic and will stick to the walls of the stainless steel reaction vessel using magnetic attraction, or the powder could be implanted onto the wall by some process.
In the case where the powder adheres to the walls magnetically, when the temperature reaches the Curie temperature (477C) of the nanopowder, the powder will fall from the walls of the reaction vessel and the heat transfer efficiency of the powder to the wall will drop.
Furthermore, if the wall of the reaction vessel provides some process activating or control activating factor, and the powder falls from the wall, this will stop the reaction when wall contact with the powder is lost.
Beside heat, does the heater type that you reference effect the stainless steel wall in any way?
