Air Gases

Hot product char carries heat into the entrained bed to obtain the high heat-transfer rates required. Feed coal must be dried and pulverized. A portion of the char recovered from the reactor product stream is cooled and discharged as product. The remainder is reheated to 650—870°C in a char heater blown with air. Gases from the reactor are cooled and scmbbed free of product tar. Hydrogen sulfide is removed from the gas, and a portion is recycled to serve as the entrainment medium. [Pg.94]

The reverse of the humidification process is that of dehumidification. In this process the water content of air, gases, or fluids is reduced. [Pg.723]

Exhaust rate The controlled quantity of air, gases, vapors, and particulate matter that is removed from a space or process. [Pg.1436]

In rotary dryers the solids are conveyed along the inside of a rotating, inclined, cylinder and are heated and dried by direct contact with hot air gases flowing through the cylinder. In some, the cylinders are indirectly heated. [Pg.430]

Generally, the behavior of a gas (or vapor) cloud during dispersion can be either buoyant or gravity driven. The former is regarded with heavier-than-air gases and the later with lighter-than-air gases. Currently, dispersion estimations can be performed via the use of semiempirical one-dimensional models (the so-called box models) and the CFD codes. [Pg.552]

CHO+, which reacts with water formed in the flame to form H30+, allowing a measurable electrical current to flow across an electrode gap. A schematic representation of an FID is shown in Fig. 14.7, showing the fuel and oxidant flows, flame tip, location of the flame and collector electrode. Like the carrier gas, the fuel (hydrogen) and oxidant (air) gases must be highly pure and carefully flow controlled. For each GC, the manufacturer provides recommendations. [Pg.471]

At the same time Rutherford conducted his experiments, three other chemists—Priestley, Cavendish, and Scheele—were also investigating fixed air gases, including nitrogen. However, Rutherford was given credit for discovering nitrogen. [Pg.210]

Gas detection location is important in detecting releases, however, obvious placement such as high up for lighter-than-air gases and down low for heavier-than-air gases may not always work. [Pg.195]

In the next chapter we encounter a revival of the four-element ordering of chemistry through the work of Boerhaave and Rouelle. The latter, especially, by assigning distinct chemical and physical roles for each of these traditional concepts, helped re-introduce air (gases) into the mainstream of French chemical thought.

In these equations, P is the total pressure of the air gases plus the water vapor, and G is the total mass of tire air gases plus the water vapor,... [Pg.158]

Compressors are, in general, devices for compressing air, gases or solids (in the last case, they are also called presses). Compressors also serve for transferring gasses and vapors... [Pg.277]

Conductivity measurement can also be used in S02 detection applications by measuring the conductance of an absorbent, which changes as a result of the variation in S02 concentration in the ambient air. Gases such as hydrogen chloride will cause a positive interference, and basic gases such as ammonia will introduce a negative interference with the readings of this instrument. [Pg.373]

The focus of the review includes techniques for clear air gases and aerosols, species in cloud liquid water, ice matrices and precipitation, as well as sampling techniques for gases and aerosols in cloud interstitial air. [Pg.287]

Explosions in the absence of air. Gases with positive heats of formation can be decomposed explosively in the absence of air. Ethylene reacts explosively at elevated pressure, and acetylene reacts explosively at atmospheric pressure in large-diameter piping. Heats of formation for these materials are +52.3 and +227 kJ/g/mol, respectively. Explosion prevention can be practiced by mixing decomposable gases with more stable diluents. For example, acetylene can be made nonexplosive at a pressure of 100 atm by including 14.5 percent water vapor and 8 percent butane. [Pg.105]

MEA active area 4.4 cm. H2/air gases with 100% relative humidity [20]. (Adapted from Electrochimica Acta, 52, Song C, Tang Y, Zhang J, Zhang J, Wang H, Shen J, et al., PEM fuel cell reaction kinetics in the temperature range of 23-120°C, 2552-61. 2007, with permission from Elsevier.)... [Pg.21]

Jet pumps are used to remove air, gases, or vapors from condensers and vacuum equipment, and the steam jets can be connected in series or parallel to handle larger amounts of gas or to develop a greater vacuum. The capacity of steam-jet ejectors is usually reported as pounds per hour instead of on a volume basis. Far design purposes, it is often necessary to make a rough estimate of die steam requirements for various ejector capacities and conditions. The data given in Table 3 can be used for this purpose. [Pg.523]

Fig. 9.14 displays the geometry of Case 2. Swirled premixed (propane and air) gases are introduced tangentially into a long cylindrical duct feeding the combustion chamber to create the swirl required for stabilization. [Pg.262]

The pathways of radionuclides in ecosystems are illustrated schematically in Fig. 21.2. Plants may take up radionuclides from the air by deposition on the leaves, or from the soil by the roots with water and minerals. In this step, the species of the radionuclides and their solubility are most important. Microorganisms incorporate radionuclides present in water or in the soil. Animals and man may be contaminated by radionuclides from the air (gases, aerosols, dust) by inhalation or deposition on the skin, or by uptake of water and via the food chain by digestion. Animals may also be contaminated by ingestion of contaminated soil particles. [Pg.408]
