Power. There are two main ways to measure the power deUvered by the driver to the pump. The first method is to install a torque meter between the pump and the driver. A torque meter is a rotating bat having a strain gauge to measure shear deformation of a torqued shaft. Discussion of the principle of torque meter operation is available (16). The benefit of this method is direct and accurate measurements. The power deUveted to the pump from the driver is calculated from torque, T, and speed (tpm) in units of brake horsepower, ie, BHP (eq. 4a) when Tis in lbs-ft, and kW (eq. 4b) when T is N-m. 

There are several methods of braking, external or internal, and they are briefly diseussed below. Any of them can be employed, depending upon the torque requirement, i.e. size of motor, its speed, the type of load, etc. 

Therefore the heat of the motor during plugging is three times that of during a normal start. Stator heat and thus the total motor heat is a function of the rotor heat (see also Section 2.7.1). Such a method is therefore not suitable for larger motors or for frequent brakings. 

Brake and pulley method (usually for very small motors). Considerable care needs be taken in the construction and use of the brake and pulley. When conducting this test conditions should be such that a scale pointer remains practically stationary at any given load. Proper cooling, preferably water cooling, should be provided for the pulley. 

Calibrated machine. When brake and pulley or dynamometer methods are not possible, the test motor may be loaded onto a calibrated generator. The efficiency curve of the generator must be available. 

When viscous liquids are handled in centrifugal pumps, the brake horsepower is increased, the head is reduced, and the capacity is reduced as compared to the performance with water. The corrections may be negligible for viscosities in the same order of magnitude as water, but become significant above 10 centistokes (10 centipoise for SpGr = 1.0) for heavy materials. While the calculation methods are acceptably good, for exact performance charts test must be run using the pump in the service.

The Method. In domestic production the dough is mixed by hand. In a small commercial bakery the dough might be mixed in a low speed mixer and sheeted out using a mechanised sheeting roller, i.e. akin to a pastry brake. 

Due to plasma treatment the radicals (R, free spin) are generated on polymer chain. Not only C-H but also C-C bonds are likely to brake, the later leading to fragmentation of polymer chain. The radical concentration determined by EPR method is in Table 3. The concentration of free radicals R decreases during the aging to about quarter of the initial after 80 days. The decrease of R is a result of radical recombination [h]. Detailed comment of EPR observation ( aging of radicals) is described too [79]. 

Brake linings and clutch facings consist of friction materials. Friction materials technology encompasses friction material types, their applications, friction and wear characteristics, raw materials, manufacturing methods, and evaluation and test methods. 

Manufacturers performance curves, such as those in Fig. 10, contain a great deal of useful information. Actual average head-capacity curves are shown for a number of impeller diameters. Also superimposed on these head curves are curves of constant efficiency. A third set of cur ves superimposed on the head curves are the NPSH requirement curves (dashed line in Fig. 10), which indicate the required NPSH at any given condition of operation. A fourth set of curves sometimes included are the BHP (brake horsepower) curves. BHP is the actual horsepower calculated in the previous HGL method illustration. It is the HHP divided by the effciency. 

Pentoses contained in hemicellulose are used to produce furfural, a useful industrial chemical, used as a solvent for resins and waxes and in petrochemical refining. It is also used as a feedstock for a range of aromatic substances (it has an almond odour) including preservatives, disinfectants and herbicides. Furfural can be converted to furfuryl alcohol and used to make resins for composite applications with fibreglass and other fibres. These are of interest in the aircraft component and automotive brake sectors. Furfural is commercially derived from acid hydrolysis of waste agricultural by-products, such as sugarcane bagasse, com cobs and cereal brans. Around 450 000 tonnes is produced by this method per year. 

It is interesting to note that the automobile features often in the interpretation of FDR results. In the Price method231 the hands of suspects were examined for the presence of lead in particulate form. This method was discredited when it was discovered that automobile exhausts eject numerous lead particles into the environment from leaded petrol. When bulk elemental analysis methods were developed it was shown that lead could originate from leaded petrol and the car battery terminals. Antimony was also present in battery terminals and barium was present in motor oil. Finally, in the particle analysis method it has been claimed that lead, antimony, and barium unique FDR particles can originate from automobile brake linings.)...
