Bypass factor

Bypass factor The ratio of the secondary flow to the sum of the main flow and secondary flow. 

The proportion AC/AB is termed the coil contact factor. The proportion CB/AB is sometimes used, and is termed the bypass factor. 

This suggests that sealing strips are required assume one every three vertical rows (i.e. Ns/Ncv = 0.33). The bypass factor (Fb) is then predicted by the formula (from Ref. E2 p.556) ... 

Coagulation protein concentrates became available in the 1970s, a significant step in the prevention and management of bleeding. The factors that are currently available are factor VII, factor Vila, factor VIII, factor IX, factor XI, and factor XIII. There is also a factor VIII inhibitor bypassing factor, activated prothrombin...

Step 9 Apply steps to inlet and bypass valves. Now that the new inlet and bypass valve positions are determined, the outputs to the valves can be changed. Before doing this, however, due to flexibility in the control system, it is still possible to manipulate the step on the valve. For this purpose, the control system provides scaling factors between the actual step and the calculated step. These scaling factors can help compensate for calculation errors and/or process dynamics. This is formulated as ... 

It is shown in Section 9.9.5 that, with the existence of various bypass and leakage streams in practical heat exchangers, the flow patterns of the shell-side fluid, as shown in Figure 9.79, are complex in the extreme and far removed from the idealised cross-flow situation discussed in Section 9.4.4. One simple way of using the equations for cross-flow presented in Section 9.4.4, however, is to multiply the shell-side coefficient obtained from these equations by the factor 0.6 in order to obtain at least an estimate of the shell-side coefficient in a practical situation. The pioneering work of Kern(28) and DoNOHUE(lll who used correlations based on the total stream flow and empirical methods to allow for the performance of real exchangers compared with that for cross-flow over ideal tube banks, went much further and. 

Using Tinker s approach, BELL(12, i22) has described a semi-analytical method, based on work at the University of Delaware, which allows for the effects of major bypass and leakage streams, and which is suitable for use with calculators. In this procedure, the heat transfer coefficient and the pressure drop are obtained from correlations for flow over ideal tube banks, applying correction factors to allow for the effects of leakage, bypassing and flow... 

The absence of mandatory manufacturer licensing in Cypms is believed to be a factor in the establishment of small packaging units to bypass price-fixing procedures. Moreover, the procedure for issuing a licence to manufacture a product is, to a certain degree, retrospective, since the application is submitted after the manufacturer has built the facility. Ensuring that any requested modification of the facility is carried out is therefore difficult. 

In a recent study, Huan et al. [25] performed NM R experiments in vibrofluidized beds of mustard seeds in which the small sample volume allowed pulses short enough that displacements in the ballistic phase were distinguishable from those in the diffusion phase. In this case, the average collision frequency is measured directly, bypassing the uncertainty of the multiplicative factor mentioned above. These workers also measured the height dependence of the granular temperature profile. 

Numerous factors, many of them poorly understood, are involved in the development of HE. In severe hepatic disease, systemic circulation bypasses the liver, so many of the substances normally metabolized by the liver remain in the systemic circulation and accumulate to toxic levels. In excess, these metabolic by-products, especially nitrogenous waste, cause alterations in central nervous system functioning.20... 

Factor Vila (rFVIIa) is a bypassing agent designed to generate thrombin only at tissue injury sites, where it binds tissue factor and, in this manner, minimizes the risk of systemic thrombotic events. rFVIIa is used effectively in surgeries and spontaneous bleeds.14... 

PCCs contain the vitamin K-dependent factors II, VII, IX, and X. These agents represent another attempt to bypass the factor at which the antibody is directed (see Fig. 64-2). However, PCCs carry the risk of serious thrombotic complications. Porcine factor VIII is most useful when the inhibitor titer is less than 50 BU (see Fig. 64-2 for dose and frequency). Owing to its similarity to human factor VIII, porcine factor VIII participates in the coagulation cascade. However, most inhibitors have very weak neutralizing activity against it. Porcine factor VIII is a third-line agent (only after factor Vila and a PCC have failed) owing to a 15% incidence of cross-reactivity.15... 

The shell-side leakage and bypass streams (see Section 12.9) will affect the mean temperature difference, but are not normally taken into account when estimating the correction factor Ft. Fisher and Parker (1969) give curves which show the effect of leakage on the correction factor for a 1 shell pass 2 tube pass exchanger.
