Direction of flow

Transport across tire direction of flow can be determined using Pick s hrst law of diffusion for dre flux of material in particles/cm sec in a steady, time-independent state 

The temperature gradient in the direction of flow can be measured directly with Pt-resistance thermometers, but it is difficult and expensive. When this is small, it is better to calculate from the material balance and thermochemical properties. 

The time-to-distance transfonnation requires fast mixing and a known flow profile, ideally a turbulent flow with a well-defined homogeneous composition perpendicular to the direction of flow ( plug-flow ), as indicated by tire shaded area in figure B2.5.1. More complicated profiles may require numerical transfomiations. 

Metal loss of the type illustrated in Fig. 11.14 occurred on the internal surface at the midsection of the tube. Note the erosion grooves oriented in the direction of flow. Metal loss at the inlet end was much more severe and had produced a smooth, relatively featureless contour (Fig. 11.15). Eroded areas were free of corrosion products and deposits. 

Use unique containers (e.g., colors, shapes) where appropriate Identify all process and utility lines (written material name and color coded) Indicate direction of flow, where applicable 

Viscosity is defined as the shear stress per unit area at any point in a confined fluid divided by the velocity gradient in the direc tiou perpendicular to the direction of flow. If this ratio is constant with time at a given temperature and pressure for any species, the fluid is caUed a Newtonian fluid. This section is limited to Newtonian fluids, which include all gases and most uoupolymeric liquids and their mixtures. Most polymers, pastes, slurries, waxy oils, and some silicate esters are examples of uou-Newtouiau fluids. 

The oxygen release rate is directly proportional to the cross-sectional area of the candle for a specific composition and also depends on the linear bum rate. Lower fuel contents decrease the bum rate slightly, eg, ca 2 wt % iron is the lower limit for rehable room temperature operation. Low temperature starts require at least 3.5 wt % iron. Another factor is direction of flow of the evolved gas. If the hot oxygen flows over the unbumed portion of the candle, as much as 15% rate iacreases can be produced. The bum time is halved for each 3.4 MPa (500 psi) pressure rise. The highest pressure that can be produced is ca 138 MPa (20,000 psi). 

In Chapter 3 it was pointed out that certain rod-like polymers showed many of the attributes of liquid crystals in the melt. In particular, these molecules were oriented in shear to such an extent that interchain entanglement was small and the melts had a low viscosity. On cooling of the melt these rod-like molecules remained oriented, effectively self-reinforcing the polymer in the direction of flow. The essential differences in the properties of liquid crystal polymers 

Pour typical weU patterns for contaminant plume containment are described in Ref. 16. The first is a pair of injection-production weUs. The second is a line of downgradient pumping weUs. The third is a pattern of injection-production weUs around the boundary of a plume. The fourth, the double-cell system, uses an inner ceU and outer recirculation ceU, with four ceUs along a line bisecting the plume in the direction of flow. Two other methods of plume containment are bio filters and a fuimel-and-gate system, which are described in the in bioremediation section.
