Complex unit

Throughout the Pniychpedia cm (or mL) is used in preference to cc. However, the advantage of using cc here is an obvious visual aid in the complex units and there are further comments regarding cc vs cm in the text. 

An element is defined as part of a more complex unit. The unit may be all or only part of an operation or the entire process. Our strategy will be to analyze all elements that appear in a separation process and determine the number of design variables associated with each. The appropriate elements can then be quickly combined to form the desired units and the various units combined to form the entire process. Allowance must of course be made for the connecting streams (interstreams) whose variables are counted twice when elements or units are joined. 

A more complex unit is shown in Fig. 13-24, which is a schematic diagram of a distillation column with one feed, a total condenser, and a partial reboiler. Dotted hnes encircle the six connected elements (or units) that constitute the distillation operation. The variables N, that must be considered in the analysis of the entire process are just the sum of the Nfs for these six elements since here Nr = 0. Using Table 13-5,... 

Both of these schemes reqiiire substantial computing effort and are focused on networks of modules (i.e., complex units). The reader is referred to the article for the details of these isolation procedures as they are beyond the scope of this section. 

Cleaning of oil in service may be accomplished quite simply or with relatively complex units, depending on the application and the design of the system. Thus for some operations it is enough to remove particles of ferrous metal from the oil with a magnetic system. In a closed circulatory system, such as that of a steam turbine, the nature of the solids and other contaminants is far more complex, and the treatment has therefore to be more elaborate. In an internal-combustion engine, both air and fuel are filtered as well as crankcase oil.

This shows how the degrees of freedom for a complex unit can be built up from the degrees of freedom of its components. For more complex examples see Kwauk (1956). 

Treatment of Re2(CO)s(PPh2)2 with nBuLi followed by Ph3PAuCl was found to afford a yellow complex (C0)4Re(PPh2)2Re(C0)3[Ph3PAu(C=0)tBu] (70% yield) in which the acylgold complex unit is attached to one of the Re atoms via its carbonyl oxygen atom (Scheme 75).305... 

The compound Gd(H20)6 Cl3 is eight coordinate with six water molecules and two chloride ions coordinating to the metal ion 331). The third chloride remains ionic. The complex units are held together by hydrogen bonds through both the ionic and coordinated chloride ions. Each noncoordinated Cl" ion forms six Cl... H-0 bonds and each coordinated Cl- ion forms three Cl... H-0 bonds in addition to the Cl—Gd bond. The coordination geometry around Gd(III) has been described as distorted dodecahedron. In [Eu(H20)6 C12]C1, the coordination geometry has been described as distorted square antiprism 332). Similar compounds of Nd(III), Sm(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), and Er(III) are isostructural.

UV/Vis absorption spectra of the polymers and the model complexes show four absorption maxima in acetonitrile. The absorption maxima in the visible region (around 450 and 440 nm, respectively) are similar to those of Ru(bpy) +, and therefore correspond to the metal-to-hgand charge-transfer (MLCT) band of ruthenium(II) complex units. The high molar absorptivity can therefore be explained by the fact that the MLCT band is hkely buried under the considerably more intense hgand-centered tt-tt transition. 

In pentacyano complexes of cobalt(III) the net charge at the coordination center is considerably decreased by the strong coordinate bonds of the five cyano groups. Thus the EPA properties of cobalt(III) are considerably lower in this complex unit, but further stabilization may still be effected by a sixth EPD ligand of high donicity like ammonia. By the reaction... 

The solubility parameter concept predicts the heat of mixing liquids and amorphous polymers. It has been experimentally found that generally any nonpolar amorphous polymer will dissolve in a liquid or mixture of liquids having a solubility parameter that generally does not differ by more than 1.8 (cal/cc) /. The Hildebrand (H) is preferred over these complex units, giving as a general difference 1.8 H. 

Wide-angle X-ray scattering data of these films is not consistent with the phase segregation of the core and complex units, although a lamellae structure is observed... 

The cost for a typical Biocube system averages 28,000. More complex units can cost as much as 300,000. Compared to alternate treatment technologies such as chemical scrubbers. Biocube systems can save the user as much as 115,000 per year (D221454, p. 2). 

The transportable gasification unit is designed for a 15-year service life and is assumed to operate for about 4 years at each of three sites. For such a large and complex unit, relocation costs are high a more practical investment may be constructing and operating a stationary unit at a central facility for the equipment s entire service life of 15 to 30 years (D10958K, pp. 47, 51). 

This complex unit operation involves significant microstructural changes in fact, most of the desirable characteristics of fried foods are derived from the formation of a composite structure a dry, porous, crispy and oily outer layer or crust, and a moist cooked interior or core, whose microstructures form during the process (Bouchon et al., 2001). The high temperatures (around 160 and 180°C) cause water evaporation, which is transferred from the food towards the surrounding oil, whereas oil is absorbed by the food replacing part of the released water. This process results in products with a unique flavor-texture combination (Mellema, 2003). 

The researohes of ndall upon the absorption of radiant heat by different vapours, render it more than probable that aqueous vapour does not consist of an assemblage of single and separate molecules of the compound OH, but of groups of these molecules of great complexity, united without contraction of volume.
