Attached gain systems

Attached gain, or greenhouse, systems are usually entirely glass with concrete or soil serving as the mass. When properly designed, an attached greenhouse can be used to provide food as well as heat during the winter. A different application of passive solar is the... 

For piping systems operating within at least 150°C above or below ambient temperature, heat loss or gain, respectively, from the piping to the support system should be evaluated, as well as local thermal stresses due to temperature differences between the pipe and its support attachment. Clamp-type supports iasulated from the piping, and extended support connections with the support members covered with iasulation at the support junction and for a distance beyond frequently are used for such systems. 

Interconversion between two tautomeric structures can occur via discrete cationic or anionic intermediates (scheme 24, where T is an anion capable of reacting with a proton at a minimum of two distinct sites). Alternatively, interconversion can occur by simultaneous loss and gain of different protons (scheme 25, w here T has the same definition as in scheme 24). These mechanisms are well established for acyclic compounds, but they have been much less thoroughly investigated for heteroaromatic systems. The rate of interconversion of two tautomers is greatest when both of the alternative atoms to which the mobile proton can be attached arc hetero atoms, and isolation of the separate isomers is usually impossible in this case. If one of the alternative atoms involved in the tautomerization is carbon, the rate of interconversion is somewhat slower, but still fast. When both of the atoms in question are carbon, however, interconversion is... 

These features should be useful in attempts to estimate the stability or reactivity of a compound or reaction system which does not appear in this Handbook. The effects on stability or reactivity of changes in the molecular structure to which the destabilising or reactive group(s) is attached are in some cases discussed in the group entry. Otherwise such information may be gained from comparison of the information available from the individual compound entries listed collectively (now in alphabetical order, with serial number) in the group entry. 

In a kinetic study on this reaction, information is gained only about the slow step. If a system of pipes has a 1-inch pipe attached to a 6-inch pipe and a study is carried out on the rate at which water flows through the system, information will be gained only on the rate of flow of water through the 1-inch pipe. That is the rate-determining step. As long as there is a reasonable concentration of B available, the rate of the reaction just shown will be dependent only on the concentration of A B. The rate law for the process can be written as... 

The turnaround time for a boule growth run is several days. It takes time to prepare the source, load the crucible, attach the seed, evacuate the system carefully, gradually heat up the crucible under controlled conditions, and finally grow the boule and then cool down. The turnaround time itself is not a problem, however, the cost of manufacturing a wafer needs to decrease so the price of the wafers can be reduced in order for SiC to gain acceptance in the market.
