Component metering

A working diagram of the most commonly used gear pump is shown in Fig. 4.4. The gears and body of the pump are assembled with the minimum possible gaps both at the circumference 

The efficiency of screw pumps is about 70-80%. They work at high rotational speeds driven by a high-speed electric motor, and they can work continuously with no outages. Screw pumps are non-inertial, because there is no torque from the driving screw to the driven screws.

Reactant feeds are generated by vaporizing liquid flows from HPLC pumps with manometric pulse dampeners or high-pressure syringe pumps and mixing this vapor with gas components metered through mass flow controllers. This reaction feed is then divided between the 48 channels equally by using flow restrictors such as silica capillaries or micromachined channels (Fig. 3.12). The capillaries feed into the inlet stand-offs of the reactor modules. 

The charging of MDI aerosols clearly has a physicochemical basis. It is related to interactions between the contents of the formulation (propellant, actives, and other excipients) and the compositions of the inhaler components (metering valve, valve stem, and actuator). Research in this area is progressing and a clearer understanding on MDI aerosol charging may enhance the design and use of these products, especially when coupled to spacers. 

The next quality parameter of diesel fuel is the ability to keep the fuel injector clean. The fuel injector is the heart of a diesel engine. These precision components meter fuel to a high degree of accuracy. Correct engine behavior depends on the injector functioning properly. 

For extrusion compounding, if the components have different densities (e.g. polymer versus fillers) or different shapes (pellets versus regrind flakes) then prefer to use the extruder for mixing. That is, operate the extruder with starved feeding conditions with the components metered separately into the extruder, see Section 9.11. On the other hand, for the blending of polymer feedstock for extrusion, if the components have very similar properties, then use tumble, rotating drum or ribbon blenders or rotor-stator blenders of the feed upstream of the extruder and use flood feeding of the mixture to the extruder. 

Traditional processing [9] (see Fig. 8) of liquid silicones uses the liquid injection molding process where the two components are conveyed and metered hydraulically with a two-component metering and mixing unit via metering pumps. The two components are combined in the mixing...

Smoking Excessive TDI vapours can be seen rising from the surface of the foam. Look for errors or fluctuations in component metering and proportioning TDI polyol. 

The war itself also drove the development of improved and miniaturised electronic components for creating oscillators and amplifiers and, ultimately, semiconductors, which made practical the electronic systems needed in portable eddy current test instruments. The refinement of those systems continues to the present day and advances continue to be triggered by performance improvements of components and systems. In the same way that today s pocket calculator outperforms the large, hot room full of intercormected thermionic valves that I first saw in the 50 s, so it is with eddy current instrumentation. Today s handheld eddy current inspection instrument is a powerful tool which has the capability needed in a crack detector, corrosion detector, metal sorter, conductivity meter, coating thickness meter and so on. 

Polymerization. The polymerization of aziridines takes place ia the presence of catalytic amounts of acid at elevated temperatures. The molecular weight can be controlled by the monomer—catalyst ratio, the addition of amines as stoppers, or the use of bifimctional initiators. In order to prevent a vigorous reaction, the heat Hberated during the highly exothermic polymerization must be removed by various measures, ie, suitable dilution, controlled metering of the aziridine component, or external cooling after the reaction has started. 

It is common to employ microwave power monitoring by means of a dual-directional coupler in the waveguide transmission system between the power tube and the useful load. Part of the coupled signals may be used for examination with spectmm analy2ers, frequency meters, and other microwave instmmentation for special purposes. Generally, this is not necessary in a practical appHcation. Many microwave measurement techniques have been described (59,60). AvailabiHty of components, plumbing, and instmmentation is weU described in trade journals. 

Principle appHcations of needle-punched nonwovens for the 1990s include automotive, apparel components, blankets, carpeting, carpet pa dding, coating substrates, filtration, furniture, geotextiles, insulation, roofing substrates, and wall coverings. In 1990, the production of needle-punched fabric was estimated to approach 91,000 t and 606 million square meters (15). 

The soHds used as catalysts are typicady robust porous materials with high internal surface areas, typicady, hundreds of square meters per gram. Reaction occurs on the internal catalyst surface. The typical soHd catalyst used ia iadustry is a composite material with aumerous components and a complex stmcture. 

A few industrial catalysts have simple compositions, but the typical catalyst is a complex composite made up of several components, illustrated schematically in Figure 9 by a catalyst for ethylene oxidation. Often it consists largely of a porous support or carrier, with the catalyticaHy active components dispersed on the support surface. For example, petroleum refining catalysts used for reforming of naphtha have about 1 wt% Pt and Re on the surface of a transition alumina such as y-Al203 that has a surface area of several hundred square meters per gram. The expensive metal is dispersed as minute particles or clusters so that a large fraction of the atoms are exposed at the surface and accessible to reactants (see Catalysts, supported). 

Conventional nitrocellulose lacquer finishing leads to the emission of large quantities of solvents into the atmosphere. An ingeneous approach to reducing VOC emissions is the use of supercritical carbon dioxide as a component of the solvent mixture (172). The critical temperature and pressure of CO2 are 31.3°C and 7.4 MPa (72.9 atm), respectively. Below that temperature and above that pressure, CO2 is a supercritical fluid. It has been found that under these conditions, the solvency properties of CO2 ate similar to aromatic hydrocarbons (see Supercritical fluids). The coating is shipped in a concentrated form, then metered with supercritical CO2 into a proportioning airless spray gun system in such a ratio as to reduce the viscosity to the level needed for proper atomization. VOC emission reductions of 50% or more are projected. 

The metering and addition of dyestuff solutions is critical to successhil operation of continuous dyeing. It is also just as critical to meter other components of the process including pulp, broke, fiUers, size, alum, fixing agents, retention aids, wet-strength resins, and other additions that affect dyeing. 

It is generally preferable to meter each of the individual components of a two-phase mixture separately prior to mixing, since it is difficult to meter such mixtures accurately. Problems arise because of fluctuations in composition with time and variations in composition over the cross section of the channel. Information on metering of such mixtures can be obtained from the following sources.
