A constants

However, the laboratory data seem to indicate that a constant concentration in the reactor to maintain 63 percent sulfuric acid would be beneficial. Careful temperature control is also important. These two factors would suggest that a continuous well-mixed reactor is appropriate. There is a conflict. How can a well-defined residence time be maintained and simultaneously a constant concentration of sulfuric acid be maintained ... 

Using a batch reactor, a constant concentration of sulfuric acid can be maintained by adding concentrated sulfuric acid as the reaction progresses, i.e., semi-batch operation. Good temperature control of such systems can be maintained, as we shall discuss later. 

Centrifugal separators make use of the common principle that an object whirled about an axis at a constant radial distance from the point is acted on by a force. Use of centrifugal forces increases the force acting on the particles. Particles that do not settle readily in gravity settlers often can be separated from fluids by centrifugal force. 

At z in the curve, however (the minimum of vapour pressure), the solution and vapour are in equilibrium and the liquid at this point will distil without any change in composition. The mixture at z is said to be azeotropic or a constant boiling mixture. The composition of the azeotropic mixture does vary with pressure. 

Michaelis constant An experimentally determined parameter inversely indicative of the affinity of an enzyme for its substrate. For a constant enzyme concentration, the Michaelis constant is that substrate concentration at which the rate of reaction is half its maximum rate. In general, the Michaelis constant is equivalent to the dissociation constant of the enzyme-substrate complex. 

A schematic diagram of the apparatus is shown in Figure 3.2. The molecules are introduced under a partial vacuum of 10 torr into a buffer chamber that communicates via molecular slipstream with the source itself at 10 to 10 torr in order to ensure a constant concentration in the source at all times during the analysis. 

When subjected to an electron bombardment whose energy level is much higher than that of hydrocarbon covalent bonds (about 10 eV), a molecule of mass A/loses an electron and forms the molecular ion, the bonds break and produce an entirely new series of ions or fragments . Taken together, the fragments relative intensities constitute a constant for the molecule and can serve to identify it this is the basis of qualitative analysis. 

The sample is placed in a cqnst a nt magnetic field, Bq, and the variation in frequency throughout the t/omain Tieing expfored excites one by one the different resonances. The scan lasts a few minutes. Inversely, one can maintain a constant frequency and cause the magnetic field to vary. 

The sample is again subjected to a constant magnetic field but all the nuclei are excited by a very short radio frequency pulse. The frequency e (e.g., 400 MHz for a proton at 9.4 tesla) is applied over a period of several... 

The VI is a number that results from a calculation involving the viscosities at 40°C and 100°C. It characterizes the capacity of the lubricant to maintain a constant viscosity through a large range in temperature. This property can be improved by additives. 

Initially new wells may still be brought on stream but the older wells start to decline. A constant production rate is maintained. This period is typically 2 to 5 years for an oil field, but longer for a gas field. 

Wells may be drilled at a constant angle to the target or dropped off to a lower angle through the reservoir section. To build, maintain or drop the deviation angle stabilisers are run in the bottom hole assembly (Fig. 3.15). A change in deviation used to require a round trip to change the position of those stabilisers in the bottom hole assembly. In recent years, adjustable, hydraulically activated stabilisers have been developed. The... 

In the production of hydrocarbon reservoirs, the process of isothermal depletion is normally assumed, that is reducing the pressure of the system while maintaining a constant temperature. Hence, a more realistic movement on the pressure-temperature plot is from point A to A . 

In some depositional environments, e.g. fluviatile channels, marked differences in reservoir thickness will be encountered. Hence the assumption of a constant thickness, or a linear trend in thickness across the field will no longer apply. In those cases a set of additional maps will be required. Usually a net oil sand (NOS) map will be prepared by the production geologist and then used to evaluate the hydrocarbon volume in place. 

The aquifer response (or impact of the water injection wells) may maintain the reservoir pressure close to the initial pressure, providing a long plateau period and slow decline of oil production. The producing GOR may remain approximately at the solution GOR if the reservoir pressure is maintained above the bubble point. The outstanding feature of the production profile is the large increase in water cut over the life of the field, which is usually the main reason for abandonment. Water cut may exceed 90% in the final part of the field life. As water cut increases, so oil production typically declines a constant gross liquids (oil plus water) production may be maintained. 

In the above example, where the ultimate recovery remains unchanged throughout the field life, the capital allowance rate remains a constant factor of 700/250 = 2.8/bbl. 

The vessels will be pressurised up to 1,1 - 1,25 fold of the normal service pressure of the drums, within stress increments of 50 kPa (0,5 bar) and a constant and smooth slope of less than 10 kPa.min . During the complete test the data will be acquired, stored and analysed. 

For the case of a double-D coil we multiply each matrix element with an element shifted by a constant distance of the same line. This is done in x- and y-direction. The distance between the two elements is the correlation length X for filtering in x-direction and a second correlation length for the movement in y-direction. Thus one gets two new matrices Ax and Ax for the filtering from the left to the right (positiv x-direction) and vice versa (negativ x-direction). 

During the control, the reception coil has been scanning inside of the emission coils. The theoretical and experimental results have been obtained under the condition of a constant lift-off of 50 pm, obtained by applying a protective polyethilenic foil. 

The algorithm leads to computation of the width 2a, and the depths d, dj, dj, d, d , d at six equidistant points along the y -axis of the cross-section of a crack, as well as the surface density of charge m=4 ju c at the crack walls. In its formulation from Fig.3, the algoritlun is adapted to cracks with a constant width.
