Composite plating, empirical

As a result, the overall heat transfer through the composite refractory wall is known. The hot face and cold face heat transfer coefficients can be calculated from known expressions for forced and free convection near a flat plate. These expressions have the same structure but different empirical constants and can be found in, for example, Reference 20. 

FIG. 2 Electron-dif action intensity curves. The two iqipermost curves are the total intensities, I(s), obtained at two different nozzle-to-plate distances. Empirical background is shown. Below is a composite molecular intensity curve sM(s). The bottom curve is the difference between e q)eriment and theory multiplied by a factor of two. 

Plate contactors such as valve trays are evaluated in terms of a plate efficiency, which is inversely proportional to how closely the composition of the streams leaving a stage approach the predicted compositions at thermodynamic equilibrium. To obtain the number of stages required for any given separation, it is necessary to divide the computed number of theoretical stages by an average empirical fractional plate efficiency. 

In Equations (5.33) and (5.34) the indices 1 and 2 refer to the upper and lower members, respectively, of a single-lap joint and s and p refer to the side and centre plates, respectively, of a double-lap joint. The lap thickness is denoted by t, elastic modulus of members and fasteners by E and Ef respectively, and fastener diameter by db. The empirical constants a and b depend on the material of the members and the type of fastener. For bolted metallic members (a=2/3, b=3.0), for riveted metallic members (a=2/5, b=2.2), and for bolted carbon FRF members (a=2/3, b=4.2). It is recommended that the values valid for carbon FRF members be used for glass FRF joint composites until specific data are available. 

Adzumi(25) has elaborated a semi-empirical theory for flow processes through porous plates, based on the assumption that the plate is perforated by numerous fine holes, the diameters of which can vary down their lengths, so that effectively each capillary is a number of capillaries of very numerous diameters arranged in series and each such composite capillary is in parallel with all the other capillaries. At high pressures the Poiseuille law — ap p — p applies (p. 55), and at low pressures the law (P-... 

We estimated the durability of the composites by using a hot water immersion test at 150°C for more than l,560h. This condition corresponds to lOO.OOOh at 90°C by the empirical rule that a 10°C rise doubles the rate of reaction. Plate samples that were 2mm thick and had a total area of 36 cm were immersed in 60 cm of ion-exchanged water in polytetrafluoroethylene-lined autoclaves, as shown in Fig. 4 (Mitani et al. 2003).
