Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

The effects on the performance of an air-detritiation dryer (ADD) of inlet-gas humidity and residual tritiated water (HTO) left on the desiccant following regeneration were demonstrated. Residual HTO significantly reduced the detritiation factor (DFSP) of an ADD from clean-bed values. In addition, HTO/H2O separation occurred in the ADD, with H2O leading HTO. HTO roll-up may also have occurred. Finally, an increase in the inlet-gas humidity at constant inlet HTO concentration decreased the DFSP while increasing the humidity-reduction factor (HRFSP).
