Double contingencies which have some remote interrelationship and which could develop pressures or temperatures sufficient to cause catastrophic failure. 

Pressure blowers Variations of radial-bladed fans with narrow housings and impellers, developing pressures in excess of 25 kPa at low volumes. 

Input is from a pump or compressor that cannot develop pressure greater than the maximum allowable working pressure of the vessel. 

In 1606 Gioavanni Battista della Porta of Naples performed two experiments that formed the basis for steam engines. He proved that steam could develop pressure by expelling water from a sealed container. In the next experiment a steam-filled flask was inrmersed neck down in water. As the cooling steam condensed, water flowed upward into the flask, proving that a vacuum had been created. 

The pressure p used in Equation 3-32 is the differential developed pressure (across the pump inlet and outlet). Since the inlet suction pressure is usually small compared to the discharge pressure, the discharge pressure is used. Thus, this is the application resistance pressure in most cases. Figure. 3-54 shows a typical reciprocating pump performance.

Rotary blowers are of the positive displacement type, and a typical lobe-type of machine is shown in Figure 8.34. The rotors are driven in opposite directions so that, as each passes the inlet, it takes in gas which is compressed between the impeller and the casing before being expelled. Machines of this type are capable of developing pressure differentials of up to 100 kN/m2 they are made in a wide range of sizes, with maximum throughputs of up to 20.000-30,000 m3/h. 

If the mixture (or a dust cloud) is confined, even if only by surface irregularities or local partial obstructions, significant pressure effects can occur. Fuel-air mixtures near to stoicheiometric composition and closely confined will develop pressures of several bar within milliseconds, and material damage will be severe. Unconfined vapour explosions of large dimensions may involve higher flame velocities and significant pressure effects, as shown in the Flixborough disaster. 

During the vacuum fractional distillation of bulked residues (7.2 t containing 30-40% of the bis(hydroxyethyl) derivative, and up to 900 ppm of iron) at 210-225°C/445-55 mbar in a mild steel still, a runaway decomposition set in and accelerated to explosion. Laboratory work on the material charged showed that exothermic decomposition on the large scale would be expected to set in around 210-230°C, and that the induction time at 215°C of 12-19 h fell to 6-9 h in presence of mild steel. Quantitative work in sealed tubes showed a maximum rate of pressure rise of 45 bar/s, to a maximum developed pressure of 200 bar. The thermally induced decomposition produced primary amine, hydrogen chloride, ethylene, methane, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. 

Such performance curves are normally determined by the manufacturer from operating data using water at 60°F. Note from Eq. (8-6) that the head is independent of fluid properties, although from Eq. (8-4) the power is proportional to the fluid density (as is the developed pressure). The horsepower curves in Fig. 8-2 indicate the motor horsepower required to pump water at 60° F and must be corrected for density when operating with other fluids and/or at other temperatures. Actually, it is better to use Eq. (8-4) to calculate the required motor horsepower from the values of the head, flow rate, and efficiency at the operating point. The curves on Fig. 8-2 labeled minimum NPSH refer to the cavitation characteristics of the pump, which will be discussed later.

Due to the operating requirements of PEM stack technology, shift reactors and a carbon monoxide removal step are required to produce reformate of sufficient quality. Similarly, the stack operating temperature and its humidity requirements require a water management system as well as radiators for heat rejection. Some developers are developing pressurized systems to the benefit from higher reactant partial pressures on both anode and cathode. Fuel processing for PEM APU systems is identical to that needed in residential power or propulsion applications.

However, the dissociation constant Kq) does depend on pH, ionic strength, and the concentration of free Mg +, which need to be estimated independently. 5FBAPTA has been used extensively [308] in studies of cells [306,309,310], and the perfused beating heart, revealing calcium transients during the myocardial cycle (Fig. 11) [311-313]. Kirschenlohr et al. [313] reported that developed pressure in the perfused heart was reduced after addition of 5FBAPTA, but this could be reversed by including 50 pM ZnC in the perfusion medium.

The apparatus developed for yb measurements of BLM deserves brief comment since it can be used not only to examine the effects of various substances on BLM but is readily adaptable for studying other types of interfacial films and related adsorption phenomena at either air-water or oil-water interfaces (and bifaces). Unlike both the Wil-helmy plate and film balance methods, the present technique measures 7i directly. From the description of the apparatus and procedure that the present method relies on the ability to measure the very small pressure difference across an interface (or biface). For certain BLM s, the pressure heads measured are only fractions of a millimeter of water. Therefore, the method described here has been possible only as a result of developing pressure transducers of high sensitivity.
