Flow types

A liquid serves as the calorimetric medium in which the reaction vessel is placed and facilitates the transfer of energy from the reaction. The liquid is part of the calorimeter (vessel) proper. The vessel may be isolated from the jacket (isoperibole or adiabatic), or may be in good themial contact (lieat-flow type) depending upon the principle of operation used in the calorimeter design.

Although it appears that methyl ethyl ketone [78-93-3] caimot be the principal product in butane LPO, it has been reported that the ratio of methyl ethyl ketone to acetic acid [64-19-7] can be as high as 3 1 in a plug-flow-type reactor (214). However, this requires a very unusual reactor (length dia = 16, 640 1). The reaction is very unstable and wall reactions may influence mechanisms. [Pg.343]

In some systems, known as continuous-flow analy2ers, the reaction develops as the sample —reagent mixture flows through a conduit held at constant temperature. In such systems, the reaction cuvettes are replaced by optical reading stations called flow cells. In most analy2ers, whether of discrete- or continuous-flow type, deterrnination of electrolyte tests, eg, sodium and potassium levels, is done by a separate unit using the technique of ion-selective electrodes (ISE) rather than optical detection.

Figure 10-35 shows the schematic of specific-speed variation for different types of pumps. The figure clearly indicates that, as the specific speed increases, the ratio of the impeller outer diameter Di to inlet or eye diameter Do decreases, tending to become unity for pumps of axial-flow type.

Fans are used for low pressures where generally the dehveiy pressure is less than 3.447 kPa (0.5 Ib/iu"), and blowers are used for higher pressures. However, they are usually below delivery pressures of 10.32 kPa (1.5 Ibfiin"). These units can either be centrifugal or the axial-flow type. [Pg.923]

Often there are situations in which mass-flow bins cannot be installed for reasons such as space limitations and capacity requirements. Also, sometimes the product to be stored has an FF flow function that lies below the flow factorj, bridging takes place, and unassisted mass flow is not possible. To handle these situations, a number of flow assisters are available, the most desirable of which use a feeder and a short mass-flow hopper to enlarge the flow channel of a funnel-flow bin. The choice of feeder or flow assister should always be made as part of the storage-vessel analysis. The resulting systems are then usually as effective as the mass-flow types. [Pg.1939]

There are two types of turbines used in gas turbines. These consist of the axial-flow type and the radial-inflow type. The axial-flow turbine is used in more than 95% of all applications. [Pg.44]

These techniques have been described previously in the pressure measurement section. Usually, one of the flow-measuring devices and the required instrumentation is incorporated as a part of the plant piping. The choice of technique depends on the allowable pressure drop, flow type, accuracy required, and cost. [Pg.699]

Electrodialysis can be applied to the continuous-flow type of operation needed in industry. Multi-membrane stacks can be built by alternately spacing anionic- and cationic-selective membranes. Among the technical problems associated with the electrodialysis process, concentration polarization is perhaps the most serious (discussed later). Other problems in practical applications include membrane scaling by inorganics in feed solutions as well as membrane fouling by organics. [Pg.339]

The soft-seated spring-loaded pilot valve is so constructed as to have a long built-in blowdown. For a flowing type pilot, at the point where the pilot supply line feeds the system pressure to the pilot relief valve, it passes through a variable orifice, which is also the main valve blowdown adjustment. When the pilot opens, the flow through the supply line causes an immediate pressure drop across the orifice. By adjusting the size of the orifice and thus the amount of pressure drop across it, one can obtain any desired system blowdown (5 to 7% is typical). [Pg.163]

Risks were expressed as triplets . The first element of the triplet was found using accident records and a PHA. The databases used were MHIDAS (1992) (>5(XK1 accidents) and ACCIDATA (>1,500 mostly Brazil). The PHA was performed by personnel from REDUC (facility operator) and PRINCIPIA (the PSA vendor). About 170 basic initiating events (raptures of pipes, flanges, valves, spheres, pumps and human actions) were grouped into 12 initiators by equivalent diameter, pressure, flow type and rapture l(x ation. [Pg.438]

Bell and socket, smooth-flow type tubing and fittings should be used throughout the system. [Pg.862]

Conveying systems normally use air as the transport medium to convey granular, crushed, or pulverized materials. Modelling the flow of pneumatic conveying and calculating its pressure loss is a problematic task. The greatest problem arises from the fact that different mass flow ratios, solid flow rate divided by the gas flow rate, imply different flow types in pneumatic conveying. Each of these flow types, which can be classified in many different ways, requires its own specific model in order to provide a concrete calculation method. [Pg.1319]

Read intersection of ordinate and abscissa to identify probable type of flow. Since this is not an exact, clear-cut position, it is recommended that the adjacent flow types be recorded also. Note See Example 2-16 for definitions of and v)/. [Pg.125]

This dispersion of the gas passes through several stages depending on the gas feed rate to the underside of the impeller and the horsepower to the impeller, varying from inadequate dispersion at low flow to total gas bubble dispersion throughout the vessel. The open, without disk, radial flow type impeller is the preferred dispersing unit because it requires lower horsepower than the axial flow impeller. The impeller determines the bubble size and interfacial area. [Pg.325]

Filters are classihed as full-flow or proportional flow. In full-flow types of filters, all of the fluid that enters the filter passes through the filtering element, while in proportional types only a portion of the fluid passes through the element. [Pg.607]

It should be noted that all these restricted flow type meters are primarily intended for pipe sizes greater than 50 mm, and when used on smaller mbes they must be individually calibrated. [Pg.256]
