Capacity terminology

The flow capacity of the transducer can be increased bv adding a booster relav like the one shown in Fig, 8-7.3/ , The flow capacity of the booster relav is nominally fiftv to one hundred times that of the nozzle amplifier shown in Fig, 8-7.3 3 and makes the combined trans-diicer/booster suitably responsive to operate pneumatic actuators. This type of transducer is stable into all sizes of load volumes and produces measured accuracy (see Instrument Society of America [ISA]-S5l, 1-1979, Process Instrumentation Terminology for the definition of measured accuracy) of 0,5 percent to 1,0 percent of span. [Pg.782]

The terminology describing the action of antioxidants is unfortunately not clear. Terms such as antioxidant power , antioxidant effectiveness , antioxidant ability , antioxidant activity , and antioxidant capacity are often used interchangeably and without discrimination. Here we use the term antioxidant activity as meaning a measure of the rate of antioxidant action, and the term antioxidant capacity as meaning a measure of the extent of antioxidant action, i.e. the amount of radicals or intermediates and products produced during oxidation that are quenched by a given antioxidant. Thus antioxidant activity is related to the kinetics of the antioxidant action and antioxidant capacity to the stoichiometry. [Pg.331]

Some confusion exists in the terminology regarding liquid helium (LHe) containers. In the following, we shall call dewars the storage and the transport containers, and cryostats the cryogen containers used in experiments. Because of their large capacity (typically... [Pg.121]

Now, in rheological terminology, our compressibility JT, is our bulk compliance and the bulk elastic modulus K = 1 /Jr- This is not a surprise of course, as the difference in the heat capacities is the rate of change of the pV term with temperature, and pressure is the bulk stress and the relative volume change, the bulk strain. Immediately we can see the relationship between the thermodynamic and rheological expressions. If, for example, we use the equation of state for a perfect gas, substituting pV = RTinto a = /V(dV/dT)p yields a = R/pV = /Tand so for our perfect gas ... [Pg.20]

As Metcalfe and James (2000 45) highlighted, it is important for us to distinguish between those capabilities which generate the current rents and those which develop that rent-earning capacity. Using the terminology offered by March (1991), one set represents exploitation of the past whereas the other represents an exploration of future possibilities. March pointed out that processes that underlie exploitation are inimical to processes that are required for exploration. Moreover,... [Pg.214]

Even before any decision was made regarding which compounds to include in the text, it was imperative for the author to decide on the scope of the chapter, and on terminology, units and the choice of primary vs secondary bibliographic citations. To begin with, it was necessary to answer the obvious question what is thermochemistry . For this chapter, the relatively restricted scope of enthalpy of formation (written variously AHf, Alff and Af//ItJ was chosen no discussion will be conducted on other thermochemical properties such as entropy, heat capacity and excess enthalpy. Additionally (following thermochemical convention9), much as the temperature and pressure were tacitly assumed to be 25°C ( 298 K ) and 1 atmosphere (taken as either 101,325 or 100,000 Pa) respectively9, the units were immediately chosen to be kJ instead of kcal (where 4.184 kJ = 1 kcal, 1 kJ = 0.2390 kcal). [Pg.224]

Functional property terminology is not well defined and is not universally agreed upon. Often, the same term is used to describe a variety of methods measuring different properties. For example, terms such as water hydration capacity, water absorption, water binding, and waterholding capacity are all used interchangeably to describe water bound or retained by a protein. It is therefore necessary to carefully define the terms under study and make sure the methods selected measure the desired parameters. [Pg.292]

Careful records must be kept to enable verification of compliance. Each lot of wine must be traceable back to the grapes and vineyard. Tanks must be carefully gauged and the capacities recorded on them. If the wine is to be labeled "estate botded," not only must the wine be fermented, processed, and bottled by the state winery at their listed address, but the vineyard must also be owned or controlled by that winery. Other label terminology, subject to some further intricacies, are "produced," ie, fermented 75% or made into a different class of wine "prepared," "vinted," or "cellared," ie, subjected to cellar processing or aging without changing the class of wine "blended," ie, combined at the stated address, wines (probably purchased) of the same class and type and "botded" or "packed" by the stated winery. [Pg.376]

Many names for zero points that can be found in literature are synonyms of the terms discussed above, namely, some authors use their own nomenclature ignoring the well established terminology. In a relatively recent paper the isoelectric point was abbreviated as pi. What seems to be surface charge density was termed capacity in a relatively recent paper published one of the leading colloid journals. In some papers, e.g. Ref [17] a term equiadsorption point EAP is used. This terminology may... [Pg.73]
