Bundle Selection

The set of exchanger bundles required is determined by a trial and error procedure. A set of bundles must be assumed to determine the heat transfer coefficient. The accuracy of the initial 

After the bundle size is assumed, the face area and the inside surface area are calculated from values tabulated in Table 2-17. The total air flow through the bundle is calculated from the face area and the design face velocity. The average air temperature change required to remove the desired heat load is calculated using the equation for Q. Since the design inlet temperature is 100°F, the air temperatures for the assumed bundles are set. The LMTD is calculated for true countercurrent flow 

Since the air flow is mixed and the process unmixed, an LMTD correction must be applied. 

An overall heat transfer coefficient, U, for the assumed number of bundles is determined by substitution of the calculated values into the equation 

The U value obtained is compared to the expected or historical U value. If the U values do not match, another set of bundles is assumed and the above procedure is repeated until the best match possible with the bundles available is obtained.

Using the newly calculated total area, calculate the average air outlet temperature and determine the overall corrected LMTD. The overall apparent U value is calculated and is used to check the number of bimdles required. If the bundle selection is changed, the complete procedure must be repeated. 

Different U-235 enrichments are used in fuel bundles to reduce local power peaking. Low enrichment uranium rods are used in corner rods and in the rods nearer the water gaps higher enrichment uranium is used in the central part of the fuel bundle. Selected rods in each bundle are blended with gadolinium burnable poison. The fuel rods are designed with the characteristics described below. 

The fifth component is the stmcture, a material selected for weak absorption for neutrons, and having adequate strength and resistance to corrosion. In thermal reactors, uranium oxide pellets are held and supported by metal tubes, called the cladding. The cladding is composed of zirconium, in the form of an alloy called Zircaloy. Some early reactors used aluminum fast reactors use stainless steel. Additional hardware is required to hold the bundles of fuel rods within a fuel assembly and to support the assembhes that are inserted and removed from the reactor core. Stainless steel is commonly used for such hardware. If the reactor is operated at high temperature and pressure, a thick-walled steel reactor vessel is needed.

The third helix stabilizes the two Fc-binding helices, (b) Three phage-display libraries of the truncated Z-domaln peptide were selected for binding to the Fc. First, four residues at the former helix 3 interface ("exoface") were sorted the consensus sequence from this library was used as the template for an "intrafece" library, in which residues between helices 1 and 2 were randomized. The most active sequence from this library was used as a template for five libraries in which residues on the Fc-binding face ("interface") were randomized. Colored residues were randomized blue residues were conserved as the wild-type amino acid while yellow residues reached a nonwild-type consensus, [(b) Adapted from A.C. Braisted and J.A. Wells,...

The composition of the gas mixture, which is introduced into the tube bundle reactor (tubes of 6-12 m length and 20-50 mm diameter, filled with the Ag catalyst) consists of 15-50 vol % ethylene, 5-9% oxygen, as much as 60% methane as dilution gas, and 10-15% carbon dioxide. The reaction therefore proceeds above the upper explosion limit. The ethylene conversion runs up to 10% per cycle through the reactor. The ethylene oxide selectivity amounts to 75-83 % maximum. The formed ethylene oxide is recovered by scrubbing with water and the newly formed carbon dioxide is separated from the cycle gas, e.g., by hot potash washing process. 

Fig. 4 shows the SEM images of SWNTs purified by the thermal oxidation and acid-treated. Fig. 4(a) shows a SEM image of the raw soot. In addition to the bundle of SWNTs, carbonaceous particles are shown in the figure. These stractural features mi t be causal by various in the arcing process because of an inhomogeneous distribution of catalysts in the anodes [7]. It can be seen that the appearance of SWNTs was curled and quite different fiom that of MWNTs. Fig. 4(b) shows a decrease of amorphous carbons after oxidation. The basic idea of the selective etching is that amorphous carbons can be etched away more easily than SWNTs due to the faster oxidation reaction rate [2]. Since the CNTs are etched away at the same time, the yield is usually low. The transition metals can be etched away by an add treatment. Fig. 4(c) shows the SEM image of the acid-treated sample, where the annealed sample was immersed in 10 % HCl. 

The reaction is exothermic and so to avoid serious temperature excursions the reactor consists of a bundle of narrow tubes, each a few centimeters in diameter, surrounded by a heat transfer medium. The catalyst consists of relatively large silver particles on an inert a-Al203 support. The surface area is below 1 m g". Promoters such as potassium and chlorine help to boost the selectivity from typically 60% for the unpromoted catalysts to around 90%, at ethylene conversion levels of the order of50%. 

The shell diameter must be selected to give as close a fit to the tube bundle as is practical to reduce bypassing round the outside of the bundle see Section 12.9. The clearance required between the outermost tubes in the bundle and the shell inside diameter will depend on the type of exchanger and the manufacturing tolerances typical values are given in Figure 12.10 (as given on p. 646).

We will then examine other flexible polymer crystallization instances which may be interpreted, at least qualitatively, in terms of the bundle model. We will concentrate on crystallization occurring through metastable mesophases which develop by quenching polymers like isotactic polypropylene, syndiotactic polypropylene etc. In principle also hexagonal crystallization of highly defective polymers, and order developing in some microphase-separated copolymer systems could be discussed in a similar perspective but these two areas will be treated in future work. A comparison between the bundle approach and pertinent results of selected molecular simulation approaches follows.
