Decking

The addition of components to this set of 92, the change of a few parameter values for existing components, or the inclusion of additional UNIQUAC binary interaction parameters, as they may become available, is best accomplished by adding or changing cards in the input deck containing the parameters. The formats of these cards are discussed in the subroutine PARIN description. Where many parameters, especially the binary association and solvation parameters are to be changed for an existing... 

PARIN first loads all pure component data by reading two records per component. The total number of components, M, in the library or data deck must be known beforehand. Next the associ-ation/solvation parameters are input for M components. Finally all the established UNIQUAC binary interaction parameters (or noncondensable-condensable interaction parameters) are read.

A quantitative way of dealing with the degree of disorder in a system is to define something called the thermodynamic probability Q. which counts the number of ways in which a particular state can come about. Thus situations we characterize as relatively disordered can come about in more ways than a relatively ordered state, just as an unordered deck of cards compared to a deck arranged by suits.

Truck scales weigh highway vehicles they may be installed in a pit or above-ground with inclined approach ramps. A capacity of 100-t is typical. For monitoring axle weights, the scale deck can be broken into three scales, which are monitored independently the individual axle weights or total vehicle weight can be displayed by the indicator. 

Secondary Treatments and Uses. Insulation boards normally have few secondary treatments. Some boards may receive a coating of primer and others may be laminated into panels of several thicknesses. Insulation boards are used for economical, insulative wall paneling, ceiling tiles, bulletin boards, and similar uses. Laminated panels are used for insulative panels, usually as roof decking or insulation under built-up roofing. 

The majority of particleboard is used in furniture and cabinetry. A significant amount is used as floor decking in manufactured homes and as undedayment in conventional homes. Particleboard is used as shelving in homes and industrial businesses, as door cores in soHd core doors, in stair stepping, door frames, and a host of uses requiring small flat parts as a starting point. 

Secondary Treatment and Uses. The vast majority of OSB panels are used "as is," without further processing or treatment. Primary uses are as wall and roof sheathing, floor decking, and other constmction panel uses in home and commercial constmction. OSB products are effectively filling in for the decline in plywood production. Small amounts of OSB are used in furniture, primarily as frame stock, and in other uses in which plywood might be used.

Laminates aie materials made up of plies or laminae stacked up like a deck of cards and bonded together. Plywood is a common example of a laminate. It is made up of thin pHes of wood veneer bonded together with various glues. Laminates ate a form of composite material, ie, they ate constmcted from a continuous matrix and a reinforcing material (1) (see also Reinforced plastics).

Investment, Costs, and Prices for Barley and Malt. Estimated malthouse investment (1993) and costs for a new malthouse with annual capacity of 120,000 t are shown in Table 2. This malthouse is equipped with twelve 1,700-bushel steep tanks, eight 10,000-bushel germination compartments, and two double-deck kilns. The kilns are equipped with standard heat recovery units and indirect heat. 

Explosion-welded constmction has equivalent or better properties than the more compHcated riveted systems. Peripheral benefits include weight savings and perfect electrical grounding. In addition to lower initial installation costs, the welded system requires tittle or no maintenance and, therefore minimizes life-cycle costs. Applications of stmctural transition joints include aluminum superstmctures that are welded to decks of naval vessels and commercial ships as illustrated in Figure 11.

During the 1930s gradual improvements in the product and processing overcame some of the drawbacks of this material. Nonetheless, the apphcations were limited and Thiokol Corp. stmggled to remain solvent. The first year Thiokol reported a profit was in 1941, 13 years after its foundation. This was realized when the U.S. Air Force discovered that the aUphatic polysulftdes were usehil as a fuel-resistant sealant for aircraft tanks and hoses. Polysulftdes also began to be used as sealants for boat hulls and decks.
