And high pressure

Utilization of equations of state derived from the Van der Waals model has led to spectacular progress in the accuracy of calculations at medium and high pressure.

With more reactive substances, 2iac or ferric chlorides may be substituted as catalysts (138). More elevated temperatures and high pressure are, however, generally needed, and only very reactive substrates (such as phenols) react readily. 

Detergent Additives. Diesel engine deposits ate most troublesome in the fuel dehvery system, ie, the fuel pump and both fuel side and combustion side of the injectors. Small clearances and high pressures mean that even small amounts of deposits have the potential to cause maldistribution and poor atomization in the combustion chamber. The same types of additives used in gasoline ate used in diesel fuel. Low molecular weight amines can also provide some corrosion inhibition as well as some color stabilization. Whereas detergents have been shown to be effective in certain tests, the benefit in widespread use is not fully agreed upon (77). 

Lack of accepted stress intensity factors for internally pressurized components has, until recently, limited this appHcation. The factors are a function of the size and shape of both cracks and high pressure components as well as modes of loading (91). Stress intensity factors can be derived analytically for some simple geometries, but most require the appHcation of advanced numerical methods (105—107). Alternatively they may be deterrnined experimentally (108). 

Zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates are the primary oxidation inhibitors in combining these functions with antiwear properties in automotive oils and high pressure hydrauhc fluids. Their production volume is followed by aromatic amines, sulfurized olefins, and phenols (22). 

Nitrogen dioxide rapidly forms an equiUbtium mixture with its dimer, dinitrogen tetroxide (AH g = —28.6 kJ/mol of NO2 consumed). The formation of tetroxide is favored by low temperature and high pressure. 

The second important component is the cooling agent or reactor coolant which extracts the heat of fission for some usefiil purpose and prevents melting of the reactor materials. The most common coolant is ordinary water at high temperature and high pressure to limit the extent of boiling. Other coolants that have been used are Hquid sodium, sodium—potassium alloy, helium, air, and carbon dioxide (qv). Surface cooling by air is limited to unreflected test reactors or experimental reactors operated at very low power. 

Primary amines can be prepared from alcohols and an excess of ammonia (52—55). Either a batch or continuous process can be used. The reaction is mn at elevated temperature (50—340°C) and high pressure, 3.5 MPa (500 psig), with an ammonia-to-alcohol ratio of 5 1 to 30 1. 

Ammonia is used in the fibers and plastic industry as the source of nitrogen for the production of caprolactam, the monomer for nylon 6. Oxidation of propylene with ammonia gives acrylonitrile (qv), used for the manufacture of acryHc fibers, resins, and elastomers. Hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA), produced from ammonia and formaldehyde, is used in the manufacture of phenoHc thermosetting resins (see Phenolic resins). Toluene 2,4-cHisocyanate (TDI), employed in the production of polyurethane foam, indirectly consumes ammonia because nitric acid is a raw material in the TDI manufacturing process (see Amines Isocyanates). Urea, which is produced from ammonia, is used in the manufacture of urea—formaldehyde synthetic resins (see Amino resins). Melamine is produced by polymerization of dicyanodiamine and high pressure, high temperature pyrolysis of urea, both in the presence of ammonia (see Cyanamides). 

Prior to 1975, reaction of mixed butenes with syn gas required high temperatures (160—180°C) and high pressures 20—40 MPa (3000—6000 psi), in the presence of a cobalt catalyst system, to produce / -valeraldehyde and 2-methylbutyraldehyde. Even after commercialization of the low pressure 0x0 process in 1975, a practical process was not available for amyl alcohols because of low hydroformylation rates of internal bonds of isomeric butenes (91,94). More recent developments in catalysts have made low pressure 0x0 process technology commercially viable for production of low cost / -valeraldehyde, 2-methylbutyraldehyde, and isovaleraldehyde, and the corresponding alcohols in pure form. The producers are Union Carbide Chemicals and Plastic Company Inc., BASF, Hoechst AG, and BP Chemicals.
