Moderation, pressure volume

CWorine is an elemental ehemieal tliat exists as a gas at ambient eonditions but liquefies at moderate pressures. Some of its eommon pliysieal properties are listed in Table 8.1.1. Chlorine is sliglitly water soluble, is yellow-green in the gaseous state, and lias a strong eliaraeteristie odor. Because ehlorine gas is about 2.5 times denser titan air, it tends to stay elose to the ground when released into tlie atmosphere. Liquid ehlorine lias a elear amber color one volume of liquid ean vaporize to about 460 volumes of gas. In addition, liquid elilorine has a large eoeffieient of thermal expansion. [Pg.250]

If applied pressure P is increased from condition 1 to 2, then a(pyjpj) = V (Pi — PSi/RT, where molar volume is V, the gas constant is R and temperature is T. From this, e.g., for water, a 1000-fold increase in P only approximately doubles saturated vapor pressure p. For hydrocarbons, p could be doubled by a lower pressure increase, in the order of 150 times or so however for moderate pressures, a tenfold increase in P even here only increases p by some 5%. Hence, for most practical situations, vapor pressure of a liquid can be considered as independent of applied pressure. Vapor-free liquid may need chemical potential represented differently (possibly by work done). [Pg.646]

All types of split-recombine mixers generally have high volume flows (e.g. 1001 h and more at moderate pressure drops) at favorable pressure drops (not exceeding 5 bar) as their internal micro structures can be held large [41,42,48,49]. [Pg.402]

A temperature of 30-40 C and a moderate pressure are enough to cause a violent polymerisation, which can increase the pressure in the reactor to 1000 -1200 bar. In storage, a low polymerisation can also be dangerous for a different reason. In this case, polymer precipitates in the form of flakes causing the volume to rise, which can eventually cause the storage tanks to detonate. Butadiene can only be stored if it contains a poiymerisation inhibitor, which also plays the role of an oxidation inhibitor. Tert-butylcatechol concentrated at 0.2% is perfect for this use, but rust and water can damage the inhibitor. [Pg.238]

Within the accuracy needed for technical calculations, volume fractions can be taken as equivalent to mol fractions for gases, up to moderate pressures (say 25 bar). [Pg.36]

For gases, if the compositions are given by volume, use a volume basis, remembering that volume fractions are equivalent to mol fractions up to moderate pressures. [Pg.40]

In this chapter we focus on the role of the pressure variable in such mechanistic studies. Almost all chemical reactions in solution exhibit a characteristic pressure dependence over a moderate pressure range of a few hundred megapascals. The pressure dependence of an equilibrium (K) or a rate constant (k) results in the reaction volume, AV, or the volume of activation, AV, via the relationships (SlnK/SP), =... [Pg.2]

A typical use for this model would be to solve for the number of moles of a gas, given its identity, pressure, volume, and temperature. The iterative solver is used for this purpose. You must decide which variable to choose for iteration and what a reasonable initial guess is. Real gases approach ideal behavior at low pressure and moderate temperatures. Since the compressibility factor z is 1 for an ideal gas, and since knowing z along with P, V, and T allows a calculation of n, we choose z as the iteration variable and 1.0 as the initial guess. [Pg.114]

The bi are derived from the collision radii of the molecular species at high temperature and, as in the kinetic theory of gases at moderate pressure, are equal to four times the molecular volume multiplied by Avogadro s number. Despite the use of diminished covolumes in the equation and despite the apparent theoretical basis of the model, the equation is oversimplified and the results of detonation calculations quite clearly show it to be inaccurate. [Pg.2]

At moderate pressures, the molecules are close enough to exert some attraction between molecules. This attraction causes the actual volume to be somewhat less than the volume predicted by the ideal gas equation, that is, the z-factor will be less than 1.0. [Pg.106]

Silicon micropumps offer major advantages in terms of system miniaturization and control over low flow rates with a stroke volume 160 nL.14 The micropump has the characteristics of very small in size, implantability in the human body, low flow rates (in the range of 10 pL/min), moderate pressure generation from the microactuator to move the drug, biocompatibility, and most important, a reliable design for safe operation. The implantable device is particularly suitable (over the injectable drug delivery systems) for patients with Parkinson s disease, Alzhiemer s disease, diabetes, and cancer, as well as chronically ill patients, because the catheter that is attached to the device can transport drug to the required site. [Pg.413]

At this temperature, attractive and repulsive influences on the molar volume just cancel and the gas behaves most ideally at low and moderate pressures, for which Eq. (29) is a good approximation. [Pg.31]

MOF-177 has been demonstrated to act like a super sponge in capturing vast quantities of carbon dioxide at room temperature. At moderate pressure (about 35 bar), its voluminous pores result in a gravimetric CO2 uptake capacity of 33.5 mmol/g, which far exceeds those of the benchmark adsorbents zeolite 13X (7.4 mmol/g at 32 bar) and activated carbon MAXSORB (25 mmol/g at 35 bar). In terms of volume capacity, a container filled with MOF-177 can hold about twice the amount of CO2 versus the benchmark materials, and 9 times the amount of CO2 stored in an empty container under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. [Pg.802]

Vm is the molar volume of the compound). The Debye-Clausius-Mossotti equation is applicable only to nonpolar gases at moderate pressure, and to nonpolar solvents and solutes in nonpolar solvents. For polar gases and polar solvents the -> Onsager equation gives more precise data. [Pg.138]

Roller pumps are among the least expensive and most widely nsed of all sprayer pumps. They provide moderate volumes (8 to 30 gpm) at low to moderate pressure (10 to 300 psi). Often used on low-pressure sprayers, roller pumps are positive-displacement, self-priming pnmps. The rollers, made of nylon, teflon, or rubber, wear rapidly in wettable powders but are replaceable. A pump that will be subjected to such wear should have a capacity at least 50 percent greater than that needed to supply the nozzles and agitator. This reserve capacity will extend the life of the pump. The pump case is usually cast iron or a nickel alloy. Roller pumps are best for emulsifiable concentrates, soluble powders, and other nonabrasive pesticide formulations (Figure 14B). [Pg.332]

Gear pumps are used on sprayers with low operating pressures. They provide low to moderate volume (5 to 65 gpm) at low to moderate pressures (20 to 100 psi). Often used on special-purpose sprayers, gear pumps are positive-displacement, self-priming pumps. The self-priming ability is rapidly lost as the pump wears. These pumps are designed for oil solution formulations and wear rapidly when suspensions of wettable powders are used. The parts are generally not replaceable. The pump is not affected by solvents.
