Cleaning lanes

I Normal triangular pitch does not permit mechanical cleaning. With a wide triangular pitch, which is equal to 2 (tube diameter plus cleaning lane)/V, mechanical cleaning is possible on removahle bundles. This wide spacing is infrequently used. 

In Figure 3-5e the square-pitch layout has been rotated 45, yet it is es,sentially the same as Figure 3-5a. In Figure 3-5d a mechanically clean-able modification of triangular pitch is shown. If the tubes are spread wide enough, it is possible to allow the cleaning lanes indicated.

In-Line Square Pitch. Popular for conditions requiring low-pressure drop and/or cleaning lanes for mechanical cleaning of outside of tubes coefficient lower than triangular pitch. 

TEMA standards specify a minimum center-to-center distance 1.25 times the outside diameter of the tubes for triangular pitch and a minimiun cleaning lane...

Special care should be taken on acceptance of a new twisted tube bundle to verify that the tubes are lined up correctly and that all shell-side cleaning lanes are unobstructed. 

Quickly, it became clear that iridium and rhodium do not cleanly fit the Chalk-Harrod mechanism as does platinum. For electron-rich silanes and relatively unhindered terminal alkynes, the major product is the (Z)-vinylsi-lane (Scheme 3, B) from apparent unusual trans-addition to the alkyne.22 This observation was followed by important and confusing discoveries. First, rhodium, under appropriate conditions, will catalyze the isomerization of the (Z)-vinylsilane product B to the (ft)-vinylsilane product A.23 Second, rhodium can also catalyze the reverse, contra-thermodynamic reaction of the (ft)-vinylsilane A to the (Z)-vinylsilane B.24... 

In order to functionalize the periphery of dendrimers of the type 69, van Koten and coworkers developed a strategy to cleanly obtain 4-lithioaryl substituted carbosi-lane dendrimers of the dendrimer generations zero (n = 4, 70a) and one (n = 12, 70b) (Scheme 24). The bromide-lithium exchange using n-butyllithium was successfully applied and the quantitative lithiation confirmed by hydrolysis or by conversion into functionalized dendrimers by reaction with various electrophiles. 

Acetals, ketals, and their parent carbonyl compounds participate in this reaction [51]. Both simple and functionalized acetals undergo this reaction, as shown in Eq. (55) [173]. Double allylation was noted for the spiro-acetals with 2 equiv. allylsi-lane in the presence of TiCU (Eq. 56) [174,175]. Poly-acetals with the structure shown in Eq. (57) underwent clean production of a single product [176],... 

Metal, composite, or plastic containers received on unitized pallets are usually packed with a shrink or stretch wrap shroud to maintain integrity of the load. Manual or automated depalletizers are available that orient the cans onto single-lane conveyors. The cans are inverted for cleaning and enter the filler. Filling is accomplished by timed flow or piston-type, volumetric action fillers. The end or side of... 

Tobacco residues were resuspended in methanol (20 jxL) and applied to TLC plates (2 /xL/lane) along with a methoprene standard. The plates were developed with ethyl acetate dichloromethane hexane (1 2 7). The lane containing the standard was cut from the plate and developed in iodine. Regions containing methoprene (rf = 0.46) were scraped from the other lanes (approx. 1 cm2/lane), and after adding hexane (400 jiL) the scrapings were vortexed (1 min) and centrifuged (8000 x g, 15 min). The supernatants were removed to clean vials, evaporated by a stream of air, and resuspended...
