Inching control

The commercial use of 2,4-D has decreased substantially and (ca 1993) it has general use for home lawns to control broadleaved weeds it also is used on a limited basis to control broadleaved weeds in commercial moncotyledonous crops, eg, sugarcane. 2,4-D is used on citms when the fmit is 1/3 to 1 inch in diameter to increase fmit size and to limit fmit drop on trees more than six years old. It should not be appHed to trees that are in fliU flush. A further use includes treatment of harvested lemons at 500 mg/L to improve storage properties and to delay yeUowing (23). It is used in certain parts of the world to increase latex flow in old mbber tree plantations.

Valve Application Technology Functional requirements and the properties of the controlled fluid determine which valve and actuator types are best for a specific apphcation. If demands are modest and no unique valve features are required, the valve-design style selection may be determined solely by cost. If so, general-purpose globe or angle valves provide exceptional value, especially in sizes less than 3-inch NFS and hence are very popular. Beyond type selection, there are many other valve specifications that must be determined properly in order to ultimately yield-improved process control. 

There are two approaches to fluid-generated noise control—source or path treatment. Path treatment means absorbing or blocking the transmission of noise after it has been created. The pipe itself is a barrier. The sound pressure level inside a standard schedule pipe is roughly 40-60 dB higher than on the outside. Thicker walled pipe reduces levels some at more, and adding acoustical insulation on the outside of the pipe reduces ambient levels up to 10 dB per inch of thickness. Since noise propagates relatively unimpeded inside the...

Manipulating flow and controlling prcs.surc by varying the impeller diameter conserve.s kilowatts of energy, and this is the third affinity law in this group. A pump consuming 10 BHP with a 10 inch impeller, would only consume 7.3 horses with a 9 inch impeller. 

Continue adjusting the gland nuts /.th of a turn every 15 minutes until the leakage is controlled to about 1 drop per second per inch of shah diameter. 

When a small quantity of a second liquid phase is present, a drawoff pot (commonly called a bootleg) is provided to make separation of the heavy liquid (frequently water) easier. The pot diameter is ordinarily determined for heavy phase velocities of 0.5ft/min. Minimum length is 3 ft for level controller connections. Minimum pot diameter for a 4 to 8 foot diameter reflux drum is 16 inches. For... 

Shafts are made of material ranging from medium carbon to low alloy steel and are usually heat treated. Shafts were originally made of forgings for the compressors in process service. But because of the availability ot high quality material, hot rolled bar stock has been used for shafts up to S inches in diameter. Bar stock shafts are given the same heat treatment and quality control as forgings. Many of the process users prefer a low alloy, chrome-moly-nickel material for shafting, particularly for compressors in critical service.

Electric water heaters typically use two 4,500 watt heating elements. One element is located in the lower part of the tank and provides the bulk of the energy. The other element is located near the top of the tank and is used to quickly heat a small amount of hot water after a large draw empties the tank of hot water. The elements are each controlled by separate thermostats and are interlocked so only one can come on at a time. The thermostats on electric water heaters are snap type devices that are installed directly on the outside of the tank, but inside the jacket. They are located a few inches above the element which they control. 

If calculated pressure drop from inlet to outlet of line system (not including control or hand valves) is greater than approximately 10%, but less than about 40% of the inlet pre.s.sure Pi (pounds per. square inch gauge), the Darcy equation will yield reasonable accuracy when using a specific volume based on the average of upstream (inlet) and do vnstream (outlet)... 

Try 1/ -inch (i.d. = 1.61), since 114-inch (i.d. = 1.38) is not stocked in every plant. If it is an acceptable plant pipe size, then it should be considered and checked, as it would probably be as good pressure drop-wise as the 114-inch. The support of 114-inch pipe may require shorter support spans than the 114-inch. Most plants prefer a minimum of 114-inch valves on pressure vessels, tanks, etc. The valves at the vessels should be 114 inch even though the pipe might be VA inch The control valve system of gate and globe valves could very well be lA inch. For this example, use 114-inch pipe, Schedule 40 ... 

Vertical side-W all baffles (Figures 5-23B and C and 5-34) projecting about Ko to K of the tank diameter into the v essel perform a helpful purpose in controlling vortex action. The baffles are set off from the tank w all a few inches to prev ent build-up of particles. 

A small hole has been deliberately placed in a vessel near the top to provide a controlled vent for a nitrogen purge/blankeL The hole is 0.2-inch diameter witli the vessel operating at 150 psig at 100°F. Determine the flow through this vent hole. Assume it acts as a sharp edged orifice.
