Danger density

The definition of the PFH (Probability of Failure per Hour) as the average of the (dangerous) density function over an interval T shows that it corresponds quite well to the hourglass analogy. Fig. 2 shows an illustrating graphic, comparing the... [Pg.1935]

Mercuric Chloride. Mercuric c Aon.d.e.[7487-94-7] HgCl2, is also known as corrosive sublimate of mercury or mercury bichloride. It is extremely poisonous, and is particularly dangerous because of high (7 g/L at 25°C) water solubiUty and high vapor pressure. It sublimes without decomposition at 300°C, and has a vapor pressure of 13 Pa (0.1 mm Hg) at 100°C, and 400 Pa (3 mm Hg) at 150°C. The vapor density is high (9.8 g/cm ), and therefore mercuric chloride vapor dissipates slowly (5). [Pg.113]

The anodically produced acid is neutralized by the alkaline mortar (CaO). Corrosion is then possible only if the supply of alkali at the steel surface is consumed and the steel becomes active. This process is possible only under certain circumstances after a very long incubation period. Apparently in steel-concrete foundations the possible current densities are so small that this case never arises. The possibility of danger has to be verified with thin outer coatings where deliming has been noticed on the steel surface. [Pg.174]

In the case of higher protection current densities and protection currents, interference can occur on nearby installations not covered by the protection. The danger of anodic interference must be investigated by making measurements and prevented by taking appropriate measures [7] (see Section 9.2). For the same reasons, anode systems should not be installed near steel-reinforced concrete foundations. [Pg.294]

Passivating inhibitors act in two ways. First they can reduce the passivating current density by encouraging passive film formation, and second they raise the cathodic partial current density by their reduction. Inhibitors can have either both or only one of these properties. Passivating inhibitors belong to the group of so-called dangerous inhibitors because with incomplete inhibition, severe local active corrosion occurs. In this case, passivated cathodic surfaces are close to noninhibited anodic surfaces. [Pg.475]

The Sony cell is rapidly outstripping all other batteries for such uses as laptop computers, especially since the electrode design has overcome danger of fire which held back earlier versions of the battery. It has an energy density of >200 watt-... [Pg.451]

Although modern chemistry allows development of even more effective rocket propellants, energy efficiency is not the only consideration factor. For example, fluorine and its derivatives arc better oxidizers than oxygen, but their extreme toxicity make them environmentally dangerous. The same concerns prevent the use of beryllium hydride—an excellent fuel that combines high density with the energy efficiency comparable to liquid hydrogen. [Pg.1023]

This is an important system in chemical processing. The effect of apparent density (liquid plus gas) as the fluid mixture enters the impeller is quite pronounced on the system horsepo ver. The horsepower falls off with increased gas flow which may lead to the danger of underpowering the unit. The absorption coefficient is a func-... [Pg.324]

Mercury is an extremely toxic substance. Inhalation of the vapor is just as dangerous as swallowing the liquid. How many milliliters of mercury will saturate a room that is 15 X 12 X 8.0 ft with mercury vapor at 25°C The vapor pressure of Hg at 25°C is 0.00163 mm Hg and its density is 13 g/mL. [Pg.256]

TBP is less soluble and less dangerous but is more problematic due to its relatively high density. This can lead to poor stratification, especially during the stripping process. Hence, insufficient separation of the strip solution from the extractant can lead to additional contamination, by phosphorous, of the final products [458,462]. [Pg.280]

The enthalpy ol formation of trinitrotoluene (TNT) is —67 kj-mol", and the density of TNT is 1.65 g-cm-3. In principle, it could be used as a rocker fuel, with the gases resulting from its decomposition streaming out of the rocket to give the required thrust. In practice, of course, it would be extremely dangerous as a fuel because it is sensitive to shock. Explore its potential as a rocket fuel by calculating its enthalpy density (enthalpy released per liter) for the reaction... [Pg.381]

A sodium-sulfur cell is one of the more startling batteries (Fig. 12.23). It has liquid reactants (sodium and sulfur) and a solid electrolyte (a porous aluminum oxide ceramic) it must operate at a temperature of about 320°C and it is highly dangerous in case of breakage. Because sodium has a low density, these cells have a very high specific energy. Their most common application is to power electric... [Pg.640]
