Driven system Subject

Deprived of their substrate in severe or prolonged hypoxia, some ATPase-driven systems, including ion pumps, may become impaired. Further, with the decrease in the availability of O2 as its terminal electron acceptor, the mitochondrial transport chain becomes increasingly unable to accept reducing equivalents from cellular metabolic processes. Hence the intracellular pH falls, subjecting the cell as a whole to a reductive stress and favouring those enzyme systems with acid pH optima. 

Besides the inherent lateral natural frequency characteristic, compressors are also influenced by torsional natural frequencies. All torsionally flexible drive trains are subject to non-steady or oscillatory excitation torques during normal operation of the system. These excitation torques can be an inherent function of either the driver or the driven equipment and, when superimposed on the normal operating torque, may appear to be of negligible concern. However, when combined with the high inertia loads of many turbomachinery trains and a torsional resonant frequency of the system, these diminutive ripples can result in a tidal wave of problems. 

Once the driver and driven equipment have been chosen and it is deter mined that none of the items will be subject to any lateral vibration problems, the system torsional analysis is performed. If a calculated torsional natural frequency coincides with any possible source of excitation (Table 9-21, the system must be de-tuned in order to assure reliable operation. A good technique to add to the torsional analysis was presented by Doughty [8 j, and provides a means of gauging the relative sensitivity of changes in each stiffness and inertia in the system at the resonance in question. 

The process envelope must define the full range of operating conditions that will be expected of the belt-drive system. For example, will the drive operate continuously in one direction or will it be subjected to start/stops or direction reversals Will the drive system be subjected to radical speed changes or be used for braking the driven unit Such factors are important in that they help define the full range of load dynamics that the belt system must accommodate. From this data, the appropriate service factor that... 

A complete factorial experimental plan is just that, in some sense complete. It provides enough information to allow one to assess (for the particular levels used) not only individual but also joint or interaction effects of the factors on the response or responses. But when in fact (unbeknownst to the investigator) a system under study is a relatively simple one, principally driven by only a few individual or low-order joint effects of the factors, fewer data actually are needed to characterize those effects adequately. So what is often done in modem practice is initially to run only a carefully chosen part of a full 2p factorial, a so-called fractional factorial plan, and to decide based on the initial data whether data from the rest of the full factorial appear to be needed in order adequately to characterize and understand response behavior. We will not discuss here the details of how so-called 2v q fractional factorials are intelligently chosen, but there is accessible reading material on the subject in books by Box, Hunter, and Hunter,19 and by Vardeman and Jobe.5... 

Figure 1 indicates, and the observations for the various ligand systems (q.v.) add further detail, that Mn111 is often subject to disproportionation (14), a reaction which, in aqueous solutions, is often driven by precipitation of MnO, (equation 15).
