Crossover zone

We can now define the various regions of the diagram by referring to the standard continuous model. Of course, between these regions, there are fuzzy crossover zones which correspond to the dashed lines limiting the regions in... 

In the crossover zone lying between the dilute and the semi-dilute region, the interactions begin to come into play. In order to define the borderline between the dilute and the semi-dilute region, we can simply set C eS3/2 = C X3 = A where A is a constant which must be estimated. Now, in a good solvent, we have... 

The authors, however, had to restrict themselves and thus sacrificed the study of dynamic properties. No doubt it should not be regretted. In fact, these dynamic phenomena are very complex and not as well understood as the static phenomena, and for several reasons. First, we have to take into consideration the special hydrodynamic effects, a difficult task. In addition, it can be shown that the critical asymptotical limits are much more difficult to obtain in dynamics than in statics. In dynamics, we are always in an ill-defined crossover zone which is not easy to study with precision. For all these reasons, the authors considered only the static problem. 

When the rope passes through the crossover zones on the drum, it experiences a lateral velocity impulse, or kicld This is a source of excitation for transverse catenary motion. The two cross over sections of the Lebus grooving each span 15 degrees, corresponding to 14 times the rope diameter. Fourier analysis of the lateral velocity impulses for this geometry gives the values shown in Table 1. N is the drum rotation frequency, rev/s. 2N is the kick frequency for symmetrical Lebus, called fLl in this paper. 

These results would be satisfactory, but for the arbitrary nature of the adjustment to the coil 2 cracking temperature. The gross error could also be eliminated by adjusting either the flow rates through the coil 2 and 3 or the inlet temperature to the radiant zone (crossover temperature) for coil 2. As it happens, the best reduction in... 

Another important future area for diffusion layers is the use of three-dimensional catalyzed diffusion layers for liquid-based fuel cells. This allows the three-phase active zone to be extended into the diffusion layer to increase performance and utilization and reduce crossover [276,277]. Recent work by Lam, Wilkinson, and Zhang [278] has shown the scaleable use of this concept to create a membraneless direct methanol fuel cell. In other work by Fatih et al. [279], the... 

The relative proportions of arsenic species in estuarine waters are more variable because of changes in redox, salinity, and terrestrial inputs (Abdullah et al., 1995 Howard et al., 1988). Arsenic(V) tends to dominate, although M. O. Andreae and T. W. Andreae (1989) found increased proportions of As(III) in the Schelde Estuary of Belgium. The highest values occur in anoxic zones near sources of industrial effluent. Increased proportions of As(III) also occur near sources of mine effluent (M. O. Andreae and T. W. Andreae, 1989). Seasonal variations in concentration and speciation have been reported in seasonally anoxic waters (Riedel, 1993). Peterson and Carpenter (1983) reported a clear crossover in the proportions of the two species with increasing depth in the Saanich Inlet of British Columbia. Arsenic(III) represented only 5% (0.10 p,g L ) of the dissolved arsenic above the redox front but 87% (1.58p,gL ) below it. In marine and estuarine waters, organic forms of arsenic are... 

In the above pair, there are seven possible internal crossover sites. Generating a random number, i (0 < i < 1), and comparing it with zones [0roulette wheel, helps decide the crossover site in this pair. 

The solubility isotherms cross one another. Namely, at pressures roughly ranging from 40 bar to 170-180 bar (zone B of the plot) a retrograde behavior is seen, where the solubility is decreased by a temperature increase, whereas above the crossover pressure the usual dependence is encountered (zone C of the plot). 

In experiments performed with different membrane-electrode-assembly fabrication techniques, and containing a PSSA-PVOF membrane with different properties than the ones previously discussed, the overall performance was similar to that previously obtained, as shown in Fig. 1.80. However the MEA tested displayed distinctly different behavior in contrast to samples previously discussed in that it showed less sensitivity to oxygen flow rate, as illustrated in Fig. 1.81. This behavior can partly be rationalized by increased methanol crossover rates observed for this MEA, which can contribute to aid in proper hydration of the cathode. However, since the increase in methanol crossover compared with the earlier samples is not dramatic ( 25% greater), other factors such as the concentration of sulfonic acid groups present at the membrane surface available for participation in the interfacial reaction zone as well as the concentration of perfluorocarbon binder contribute to produce conditions less sensitive to water management problems. 

In several places the height of the bottom of the entry zone below crossover support beams for the skid rails was less than 1 ft (0.3 m), but the top zone height was 3 ft (0.9 m). (a) A major portion of the bottom gases migrated to the top zone, (b) The crossovers inhibited flow in the bottom zone. Both (a) and (b) reduced the possible convection heat transfer to the load in the bottom zone. 

Cooling-water heat losses must be tallied, especially from bottom-fired zones, that is (a) skidrails pipes—insulated -I- uninsulated, (b) crossovers pipes—insulated -I- uninsulated, (c) riser pipes—insulated -f uninsulated. 

The water-cooled skid rail pipe supporting the skid wear bar is insulated with one or two different insulating materials to reduce heat gain (as these are subject to the same hot furnace gas heat transfer as are the loads). A group of crosswise water-cooled support pipes (crossovers) support the skid rail pipes from below and are attached to the furnace sidewalls. Vertical pipes (risers) support the crossover pipes. The outer surfaces of all the skid and supporting pipe stmcture must be capable of withstanding physical and thermal shock as well as chemical attack from the bottom-zone furnace gases. 

The basic problem, arising in fuel cells of this type, is the free penetration of N2H5+ ions through the proton-conducting membrane, to the cell s cathodic zone, which leads to consequences that had been described earlier with respect to methanol crossover.
