Quantitative Calculations When needed, the relationship between the analyte and the analytical signal is given by the stoichiometry of any relevant reactions. Calculations are simplified, however, by applying the principle of conservation of mass. The most frequently encountered example of a direct volatilization gravimetric analysis is the determination of a compound s elemental composition. 

A partial answer to the first question has been provided by a theoretical treatment (1,2) that examines the conditions under which a matrix crack will deflect along the iaterface betweea the matrix and the reinforcement. This fracture—mechanics analysis links the condition for crack deflection to both the relative fracture resistance of the iaterface and the bridge and to the relative elastic mismatch between the reinforcement and the matrix. The calculations iadicate that, for any elastic mismatch, iaterface failure will occur whea the fracture resistance of the bridge is at least four times greater than that of the iaterface. For specific degrees of elastic mismatch, this coaditioa can be a conservative lower estimate. This condition provides a guide for iaterfacial desiga of ceramic matrix composites. 

Our researches of a method fire assay (FA) of ores have shown that the losses of noble metals (NM) in scoria s FA hardly depend on composition of used fusion mixture. Usage of ultrasonic (US) oscillations of low frequency allows lowering on 50-100° temperature FA, to reduce time in 3-4 times. Even under unfavorable conditions thus the extent of extraction NM is conserved at FA on NiS (Ni S ) or Sn and is augmented at usage as a collector Pb or Cu. 

Because we need to know how long the refined section of the bar is, it is important to describe the ramping up of the compositions in a quantitative way. We can do this by writing a differential equation which describes what happens as the zone moves from some general position x to a new position x + 8x (Fig. 4.4g). For a bar of unit cross-section we can write the mass conservation equation... 

In view of the above adverse effects a safety factor should be applied where flammability is assessed using flash point. For pure liquids in containers the vapor should be considered potentially flammable if the liquid temperature is upward of at least 5°C below the reported flash point. For mixtures whose composition is less certain, such as petroleum mixtures, the safety factor should be about 15°C relative to the flash point [55]. Where combinations of adverse effects are identified the safety factors should be increased accordingly. A simple but very conservative approach is to assume that all liquids having a flash point <141°F may produce a flammable atmosphere under some ambient conditions, even where no mist or froth production is involved. A more practical approach is to assume that liquids handled in air at least 5-15°C below their closed cup flash points will not present ignition risks unless... 

The accuracy of quantitative analysis has been reported to be better than 2% relative for major concentrations, using well-polished standards having a composition similar to the sample. A more conservative figure of 4—5% relative should be expected for general analysis using pure element standards. For analysis without... 

The primary air flow rate per jet necessary for smokeless combustion depends on the molecular weight and degree of unsaturation of the flare gas. Experience indicates that it varies linearly with percent unsaturates, from a minimum of 20 % excess air for a flare gas containing 0 % unsaturates to 35 % excess air for a gas containing 67 mol % unsaturates. Based on this relationship and a gas flow rate of 72.2 mVh per jet, the required primary air flow rate can be computed directly from the gas composition, or approximated conservatively from the following equation ... 

The Chapman-Jongnet (CJ) theory is a one-dimensional model that treats the detonation shock wave as a discontinnity with infinite reaction rate. The conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy across the one-dimensional wave gives a unique solution for the detonation velocity (CJ velocity) and the state of combustion products immediately behind the detonation wave. Based on the CJ theory it is possible to calculate detonation velocity, detonation pressure, etc. if the gas mixtnre composition is known. The CJ theory does not require any information about the chemical reaction rate (i.e., chemical kinetics). 

The major mechanism of a vapor cloud explosion, the feedback in the interaction of combustion, flow, and turbulence, can be readily found in this mathematical model. The combustion rate, which is primarily determined by the turbulence properties, is a source term in the conservation equation for the fuel-mass fraction. The attendant energy release results in a distribution of internal energy which is described by the equation for conservation of energy. This internal energy distribution is translated into a pressure field which drives the flow field through momentum equations. The flow field acts as source term in the turbulence model, which results in a turbulent-flow structure. Finally, the turbulence properties, together with the composition, determine the rate of combustion. This completes the circle, the feedback in the process of turbulent, premixed combustion in gas explosions. The set of equations has been solved with various numerical methods e.g., SIMPLE (Patankar 1980) SOLA-ICE (Cloutman et al. 1976). 

Radiation effects from a flash fire are now fully determined if vapor cloud composition, as well as the geometry of the flame front (dependent on time), is known. Vapor cloud composition is, of course, place- and time-dependent, and the shape of flame front will greatly depend on cloud shape and ignition site within the cloud. The total radiation intercepted by an object equals the surmnation of contributions by all successive flame positions during flame propagation. This is an impossible value to compute with the simplified approach just described. Because there are many uncertainties (e.g., cloud composition, location of ignition site) which greatly influence the final result, a conservative approach is recommended for practical applications ... 

One molecule (or mole) of propane reacts with five molecules (or moles) of oxygen to produce three molecules (or moles) or carbon dioxide and four molecules (or moles) of water. These numbers are called stoichiometric coefficients (v.) of the reaction and are shown below each reactant and product in the equation. In a stoichiometrically balanced equation, the total number of atoms of each constituent element in the reactants must be the same as that in the products. Thus, there are three atoms of C, eight atoms of H, and ten atoms of O on either side of the equation. This indicates that the compositions expressed in gram-atoms of elements remain unaltered during a chemical reaction. This is a consequence of the principle of conservation of mass applied to an isolated reactive system. It is also true that the combined mass of reactants is always equal to the combined mass of products in a chemical reaction, but the same is not generally valid for the total number of moles. To achieve equality on a molar basis, the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients for the reactants must equal the sum of v. for the products. Definitions of certain terms bearing relevance to reactive systems will follow next. 

Two basic laws of chemistry are the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. Which of these laws (if any) do the following statements illustrate ...

Changes in free energy and the equilibrium constants for Reactions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are quite sensitive to temperature (Figures 2 and 3). These equilibrium constants were used to calculate the composition of the exit gas from the methanator by solving the coupled equilibrium relationships of Reactions 1 and 2 and mass conservation relationships by a Newton-Raphson technique it was assumed that carbon was not formed. Features of the computer program used were as follows (a) any pressure and temperature may be specified (b) an inert gas may be present (c) after... 

Under increasing strain the propint volume increases from the voids created around the unbonded solid particles. Nonlinearities in Young s modulus and Poisson s ratio then occur. Francis (Ref 50) shows this effect for a carboxy-terminated polybutadiene composite propellant with 14% binder as in Figure 12. He concludes that nonlinearities in low-temperature properties reduce the predicted stress and strain values upon cooling a solid motor, and therefore a structural analysis that neglects these effects will be conservative. However, when the predictions are extended to a pressurized fiberglas motor case, the nonlinearities in properties produce greater strains than those predicted with linear analysis...
