Collector length

Tc,in), rj is the instantaneous efficiency, and m is the mass flow rate of air. The parameter in the figure is the surface area per unit collector length (series connection). 

The functional group ia collectors for nonsulfide minerals is characterized by the presence of either a N (amines) or an O (carboxyUc acids, sulfonates, etc) as the donor atoms. In addition to these, straight hydrocarbons, such as fuel oil, diesel, kerosene, etc, are also used extensively either as auxiUary or secondary collectors, or as primary collectors for coal and molybdenite flotation. The chain length of the hydrocarbon group is generally short (2—8 C) for the sulfide collectors, and long (10—20 C) for nonsulfide collectors, because sulfides are generally more hydrophobic than most nonsulfide minerals (10).

Figure 11 shows a t pical liquid collector plate for a column that uses one side downcomer to withdraw the liquid. The maximum diameter for such a design is about 12 ft, which is limited by the hydraulic gradient necessary for such a liquid flow-path length, For larger diameter columns, two opposite side downcomers or a center downcomer normally is used unless the total amount of liquid collected is relatively small. 

Most portable vibration data collectors use a coiled cable to connect to the transducer (see Figure 43.24). The cable, much like a telephone cord, provides a relatively compact length when relaxed, but will extend to reach distant... 

To size the fan it is necessary to know the total air volume and the pressures in the system. These are calculated from the losses in the system on the longest or index leg, and begin with the hood. The hood entry loss can be expressed as 0.6 of the velocity head and is accurate enough for first estimates. The losses are then calculated on the velocities in the ducts. Each change of direction means a small loss in each length of duct. Added to the pressure drop loss across the collector and the outlet losses, these give the total static pressure required in the system. 

If minority carrier current (1BC, dotted line, symbols in Fig. 3.2) is detected at the collector, it can be concluded that the emitter is no sink for minorities. The absolute value of IEB depends not only on the charge state of the emitter-base junction and surface recombination velocity, but as well on bulk diffusion length and on sample thickness. However, the latter two parameters are constants for a given sample. 

A high gain transistor requires a nearly equal to 1. In the absence of collector junction breakdown, a is the product of the base transport factor and emitter efficiency. The base transport factor, aT, is the fraction of the minority current (electrons for an n-p—n transistor) that reaches the collector. ocT 1 — W2 /2L, where W is the base width, is the distance between emitter and collector junctions and Lg is the minority carrier diffusion length in the base. High gain transistors require a thin base as well as a long minority carrier lifetime for a large Lg. Because aT is >0.995 in modem transistors, there is little room for improvement. The emitter efficiency, the fraction of emitter current due to minority carriers injected into the base instead of the emitter,...
