Casing pressure maximum

Since approx. 90% of the systems show positive deviation from Raoult s law, in most cases pressure maximum (temperature minimum) azeotropes are observed. 

Exploitation of boundaiy curvature for breaking azeotropes is veiy similar to exploiting pressure sensitivity from a mass-balance point of view, and suffers from the same disadvantages. Separation schemes have large recycle flows, and in the case of minimum-boiling azeotropes, the recycle streams are distillates. However, in the case of maximum-boihng azeotropes, these recycles are underflows and... 

For any proposed suppression system design, it is necessary to ascribe with confidence an effective worst-case suppressed maximum explosion overpressure Pred.max- Provided that the suppressed explosion overpressure is less than the process equipment pressure shoclc resistance and provided further that this projected suppression is achieved with a sufficient margin of safety, explosion protection security is assured. These two criteria are mutually independent, but both must be satisfied if a suppression system is to be deployed to provide industrial explosion protection. 

Determination of the maximum expected casing pressure is required for selection of the kick control technique. If the driller s method is used for kick control, the maximum casing pressure (psi) is calculated assuming gas influx into the hole. This is...

All compressed air systems that use a positive displacement compressor must be fitted with a pressure relief or safety valve that will limit the discharge or inter-stage pressures to a safe maximum limit. Most dynamic compressors must have similar protection due to restrictions placed on casing pressure, power input and/or keeping out of surge range. 

A temperature increase to about 85 °C would require a pressure of about 43.8 MPa in the vehicle tank (or a pressure of about 44.8 MPa in the high pressure bank). If the vehicle tank should be filled to the upper level at all conditions, the worst case (85 °C) has to be considered. In this case, the maximum pressure of the storage banks must be well above 45 MPa. 

Also, in the cold jet case, pressure profiles were measured to assess possible thrust penalty associated with the flow-induced resonance. Near-held pressure prohles, which are plotted in Fig. 29.11 for typical forced and natural cases, again show the faster growth associated with the excitation. In the far held, the static pressure became identical to the ambient pressure. To obtain the thrust force, far-held total pressure prohles were integrated over the jet cross-sectional area. The measurement at 18 exit diameters downstream for the excited case showed that there was a force deheit of about 8% compared to the natural case. This appears to be the maximum amount of thrust penalty caused by periodic impingement of shear how on the cavity trailing edge. 

Finally, the most efficient columns permit the use of lai er particles to achieve the required performance and therefore the necessary pressure drop is smaller. In our case the maximum particle diameter is Vm for the best and only 3 /iih for the worst column. In practice it iimuch easier to pack an efficient column with 9 /jitn rather than with 3-/x particles, and this is a good example of a vicious circle encountered witl such problems. 

Hartmann and associates (24G-28G) have conducted a great deal of experimental work on the combustion of dust dispersions. Explosions can be caused by particles as large as 700 microns. Many different dusts, including rosins, metal powders, and coal, have been investigated. Zirconium powder is the most explosive. Coal dust explosibility is closely associated with its volatile combustible content. Representative pressure rises as high as 75 pounds per square inch in an enclosed volume are reported. In all cases this maximum pressure is attained at mixture strengths well beyond stoichiometric. 

Slow closure. The preceding discussion has assumed a closure so rapid (or a pipe so long) that there is insufficient time for a pressure wave to make the round trip before the valve is closed. Slow closure will be defined as closure in which the time of valve movement is greater than 2Lie. In this case the maximum pressure rise will be less than in the preceding cases because the wave of pressure unloading will reach the valve before the movement is completed and will thus stop any further increase in pressure. 

The main characteristics of the green mixture used to control the CS process include mean reactant particle sizes, size distribution of the reactant particles reactant stoichiometry, j, initial density, po size of the sample, D initial temperature, Tq dilution, b, that is, fraction of the inert diluent in the initial mixture and reactant or inert gas pressure, p. In general, the combustion front propagation velocity, U, and the temperature-time profile of the synthesis process, T(t), depend on all of these parameters. The most commonly used characteristic of the temperature history is the maximum combustion temperature, T -In the case of negligible heat losses and complete conversion of reactants, this temperature equals the thermodynamically determined adiabatic temperature (see also Section V,A). However, heat losses can be significant and the reaction may be incomplete. In these cases, the maximum combustion temperature also depends on the experimental parameters noted earlier. 

A pressure maximum, instead of minimum, inside the membrane could result from cases where both chemical reaction and surface diffusion are present [Sloot et al., 1992]. Thus the occurrence of a maximum or minimum local pressure inside the membrane depends on the reaction stoichiometry as well as the mobilities of the reaction species. It is assumed that only hydrogen sulfide adsorbs on the pore surface. Due to a higher transport rate of H2S enhanced by surface diffusion, the reaction zone is shifted toward the SO2 side of the membrane. In the reaction zone, larger amounts of the products are formed and higher molar fluxes of the products out of the membrane are expected so that the maxima of the mole fraction profiles of the products at the reaction zone can be sustained. 

For the W/O case, the maximum surface pressure approached 51mNm , implying an interfacial pressure approaching zero. These interfacial tension results show that the PHS-PEO-PHS block copolymer is an excellent W/O emulsifier. Indeed, W/O emulsions with a water volume fraction

prepared using this block copolymer. 

The results of isoteniscope simulations show a slight overprediction for all three compounds with a skewed distribution in each case (Figures 6, 7, and 8). Predictably, the lower the vapor pressure, the larger the relative standard deviation. On the other hand, the absolute standard deviation is relatively unchanged over the range of vapor pressures examined, varying between about 0.72 and 0.77 torr for the extreme cases. The maximum skewedness of the distribution is found for toluene, the medium-vapor pressure case. The standard deviation of 2.7 percent found for toluene corresponds quite well to the 3 percent error estimate made by MacKay et al. (4). The 6 percent standard deviation for the chlorobenzene case shows it to be at the lower end of the range recommended for reliable measurement.
