Table 5.4 gives the specific energies of selected organic liquid compounds. Compared with the isooctane chosen as the base reference, the variations from one compound to another are relatively small, on the order of 1 to 5%, with the exception of some particular chemical structures such as those of the short chain nitroparaffins (nitromethane, nitroethane, nitropropane) that are found to be energetic . That is why nitromethane, for example, is recommended for very small motors such as model airplanes it was also used in the past for competitive auto racing, for example in the Formula 1 at Le Mans before being forbidden for safety reasons. 

Because these pipes are key components used for airplanes, their ultrasonic testing quality must be guranteed. Therefore, the author has conducted studies about the flaw detection methods for coarse-grained TC4P extrusion pipes. 

One of the radio detection advantages is the use of decametric waves range which provide the detection and sea surface watch even via clouds, and it really does not matter from what object the detection is carried out. from the airplane, from the satellite, from the land (or vessel). 

Chemists make compounds and strive to understand their reactions. My own interest lies in the chemistry of the compounds of the elements carbon and hydrogen, called hydrocarbons. These make up petroleum oil and natural gas and thus are in many ways essential for everyday life. They generate energy and heat our houses, fuel our cars and airplanes and are raw materials for most manmade materials ranging from plastics to pharmaceuticals. Many of the chemical reactions essential to hydrocarbons are catalyzed by acids and proceed through positive ion intermediates, called carbocations. 

Some empirical equations to predict cyclone pressure drop have been proposed (165,166). One (166) rehably predicts pressure drop under clean air flow for a cyclone having the API model dimensions. Somewhat surprisingly, pressure drop decreases with increasing dust loading. One reasonable explanation for this phenomenon is that dust particles approaching the cyclone wall break up the boundary layer film (much like spoiler knobs on an airplane wing) and reduce drag forces. 

Each year, Americans report over three million fires leading to 29,000 injuries and 4,500 deaths (1). The direct property losses exceed 8 biUion (1) and the total annual cost to our society has been estimated at over 100 biUion (2). Personal losses occur mosdy in residences where furniture, wall coverings, and clothes are frequently the fuel. Large financial losses occur in commercial stmctures such as office buildings and warehouses. Fires also occur in airplanes, buses, and trains. 

The self-ignition temperature of PVF film is 390°C. The limiting oxygen iadex (LOI) for PVF is 22.6% (98), which can be raised to 30% ia antimony oxide-modified film (99). Hydrogen fluoride and a mixture of aromatic and aUphatic hydrocarbons (100) are generated from the thermal degradation of PVF. Toxicity studies, ie, survival and time to iacapacitation, of polymers, ceUulosics (101,102), and airplane iaterior materials (103) expose... 

Aluminosilicate glasses are used commercially because they can be chemically strengthened and withstand high temperatures. Thus apphcations include airplane windows, frangible containers, lamp envelopes, and flat panel display devices. 

Aircraft Reactors. As early as World War II, the U.S. Army Air Force considered the use of a nuclear reactor for the propulsion of aircraft (62—64). In 1946 the nuclear energy for propulsion of aircraft (NEPA) program was set up at Oak Ridge, under Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation. Basic theoretical and experimental studies were carried out. The emphasis was on materials. A high temperature reactor was built and operated successfiiUy. 

In the category of industrial appHcations, nylon is the predominant fiber used in the carcass of bias tmck, racing car, and airplane tires because of its exceUent strength, adhesion to mbber, and fatigue resistance. Nylon is used less in the carcass of radial tires for automobiles and in replacement bias and bias-belted tires because of the development of temporary flat spots. For this reason, nylon has lost most of this market to polyester. 

Windows in airplanes, trains, and schools commonly use polycarbonate. Exotic appHcations include military use, for example in high speed aircraft canopies, where tests have shown polycarbonate to withstand impact with fowl at Mach 2. Polycarbonate is also used for security appHcations as laminates with glass or other materials. Polycarbonate offers unsurpassed projectile-stopping capabiHty, as the material softens upon impact with a bullet, absorbing the projectile s energy.

Dry ice is used to chill aluminum rivets. These harden rapidly at room temperature, but remain soft if kept cold with dry ice. It has found numerous uses in laboratories, hospitals, and airplanes as a convenient and readily available low temperature coolant. 

During World War I, cellulose acetate replaced the highly flammable cellulose nitrate coating on airplane wings and the fuselage fabrics. After World War I, it found extensive use in photographic and x-ray films, spun fibers, and mol ding plastics. 

Collective protection enclosures are required for groups of personnel. Such enclosures must be airtight to prevent inward seepage of contamination. They can be independent units or can be formed by adequately treating the interior walls of stmctures, tents, airplanes, or vehicles. A supply of uncontaminated air, provided by passing ambient air through high efficiency aerosol and carbon filters, must be provided. 

Experimental techniques to visualize flows have been extensively used to define fluid flow in pipes and air flow over lift and control surface of airplanes. More recently this technology has been appHed to the coating process and it is now possible to visualize the flow patterns (16,17). The dimensions of the flow field are small, and the flow patterns both along the flow and inside the flow are important. Specialized techniques such as utilizing small hydrogen bubbles, dye injection, and optional sectioning, are required to visualize these flows. 

In 1916, calcium arsenate [7778-44-1] dusted by airplane was used to control the boU weevil however, throughout many developments in effective insecticides, such as organophosphates, the boU weevils became resistant to poisons that were formerly effective (see Insectcontroltechnology). 

A few percent TCNE added during formation of urethane foams imparts enough conductivity to dissipate electrostatic charges. Airplane fuel tanks filled with this foam stiU have about the same volume for fuel but do not build up static charges (29).
