Cutting-volume rate

There is a minimum air (or gas) volume rate of flow that must be maintained in order to adequately clean the bottom of the hole of cuttings and carry these... 

From the produc t specifications, distillate yields are computed as follows From Fig. 13-86 and the ASTM D 86 50 percent temperatures, TBP 50 percent temperatures of the three intermediate cuts are obtained as 155, 236, and 316°C (311, 456, and 600°F) for the HN, LD, and HD respectively. The TBP cut points, corresponding volume fractions of crude oil, and flow rates of the four distillates are readily obtained by stai-ting from the specified 343°C (650°F) cut point as follows, where CP is tne cut point and T is the TBP temperature (°F) ... 

These cut points are shown as vertical lines on the crude-oil TBP plot of Fig. 13-91, from which the following volume fractions and flow rates of product cuts are readily obtained. ... 

Basic Principles of Operation Gas-separation literature often uses nomenclature derived from distillation, a practice that will generally be followed here. L is the molar feed rate, V is the molar permeate rate, R is the molar residue (L — V). Mole fractions of components i, j, in the feed-residue phase will be Xj, Xj. .. and in the permeate phase yi,yj.... Stage cut, 0, is permeate volume/feed volume, or V/L. 

These facts suggest that variable recoveries of parathion from the evaporation procedure, as used routinely, should be expected. In general, however, the recovery data did not demonstrate a clear-cut distinction between acetone and benzene for the purpose at hand. A slow steady loss of parathion in proportion to the volume of either solvent evaporated (1) was not noted, which would indicate that the rate of evaporation is also important. The final decision as to solvent was determined by certain incidental properties of the parathion. 

The diameter of a hydrocyclone can range from 10 mm to 2.5 m, cut sizes from 2 to 250 /am, and flow rate (capacities) from 0.1 to 7200 m3/hr. Pressure drop can range from 0.3 to 6 atm (Svarovsky, 1984). For aerocy-clones, very little fluid leaves with the solids underflow, although for hydrocyclones the underflow solids content is typically 45-50% by volume. Aerocyclones can achieve effective separation for particles as small as 2-5 pm. 

Volumes of activation can be unambiguously determined only from the pressure dependence of the rate constants. Attempts to obtain volumes of activation from the correlation of rate constants with the solubility parameter 22 or the cohesive energy density parameter (ced)23, which are related to the internal pressure of solvents, have not led to clear-cut results.
