References to a number of other kinetic studies of the decomposition of Ni(HC02)2 have been given [375]. Erofe evet al. [1026] observed that doping altered the rate of reaction of this solid and, from conductivity data, concluded that the initial step involves electron transfer (HCOO- - HCOO +e-). Fox et al. [118], using particles of homogeneous size, showed that both the reaction rate and the shape of a time curves were sensitive to the mean particle diameter. However, since the reported measurements refer to reactions at different temperatures, it is at least possible that some part of the effects described could be temperature effects. Decomposition of nickel formate in oxygen [60] yielded NiO and C02 only the shapes of the a—time curves were comparable in some respects with those for reaction in vacuum and E = 160 15 kJ mole-1. Criado et al. [1031] used the Prout—Tompkins equation [eqn. (9)] in a non-isothermal kinetic analysis of nickel formate decomposition and obtained E = 100 4 kJ mole-1. 

Extension of the hydrodynamic theory to explain the variation of detonation velocity with cartridge diameter takes place in two stages. First, the structure of the reaction zone is studied to allow for the fact that the chemical reaction takes place in a finite time secondly, the effect of lateral losses on these reactions is studied. A simplified case neglecting the effects of heat conduction or diffusion and of viscosity is shown in Fig. 2.5. The Rankine-Hugoniot curves for the unreacted explosive and for the detonation products are shown, together with the Raleigh line. In the reaction zone the explosive is suddenly compressed from its initial state at... 

Figure 13 A shows some calculated radial temperatures within catalyst beds for some typical cases of hydroprocessing of oils in either a gas phase or a trickle-flow process. In these calculations, effective radial thermal conductivities were used that have been determined from existing correlations involving both static and convective mechanisms of heat transfer. It can be seen that whereas deviations from true iso-thermicity are reasonably small for a bed diameter of 1 cm, isothermal operation is hardly possible at the diameters in the range of pilot-plants, especially if the reactor is relatively short and operated with gas only. Under the latter circumstances, the reactor may even be unstable and temperature may run away.

As stated, SiC is expected to act as an efficient heat transfer medium to distribute heat and assist with hot-spot reduction associated with the very high exothermicity of this reaction. The use of SiC as a catalyst support was expected to result in an increase in catalyst lifetime and the prevention of VPO over oxidization [24,25]. To be effective, the thermally conductive material should have a thermal conductivity of at least 1 W m-1K-1 [20], making a-SiC a good candidate material, having a thermal conductivity ranging from 3.7 to 4.9 W m-1K-1. In this work, varying weight percents of the a-SiC were used as a modifier for the as-prepared VPO catalyst. In addition, the small reactor inner diameter (4 mm) ensures that isothermal conditions are favored. 

To understand heat conduction, diffusion, viscosity and chemical kinetics the mechanistic view of molecule motion is of fundamental importance. The fundamental quantity is the mean-free path, i. e. the distance of a molecule between two collisions with any other molecule. The number of collisions between a molecule and a wall was shown in Chapter 4.1.1.2 to be z = CNQvdtl6. Similarly, we can calculate the number of collisions between molecules from a geometric view. We denote that all molecules have the mean speed v and their mean relative speed with respect to the colliding molecule is g. When two molecules collide, the distance between their centers is d in the case of identical molecules, d corresponds to the effective diameter of the molecule. Hence, this molecule will collide in the time dt with any molecule centre that lies in a cylinder of a diameter 2d with the area Jid and length gdt (it follows that the volume is Jtd gdt). The area where d is the molecule (particle) diameter is also called collisional cross section a. This is a measure of the area (centered on the centre of the mass of one of the particles) through which the particles cannot pass each other without colliding. Hence, the number of collisions is z = c n gdt. A more correct derivation, taking into account the motion of all other molecules with a Maxwell distribution (see below), leads to the same expression for z but with a factor of V2. We have to consider the relative speed, which is the vector difference between the velocities of two objects A and B (here for A relative to B) ... 

Effect of Uncertainties in Thermal Design Parameters. The parameters that are used ia the basic siting calculations of a heat exchanger iaclude heat-transfer coefficients tube dimensions, eg, tube diameter and wall thickness and physical properties, eg, thermal conductivity, density, viscosity, and specific heat. Nominal or mean values of these parameters are used ia the basic siting calculations. In reaUty, there are uncertainties ia these nominal values. For example, heat-transfer correlations from which one computes convective heat-transfer coefficients have data spreads around the mean values. Because heat-transfer tubes caimot be produced ia precise dimensions, tube wall thickness varies over a range of the mean value. In addition, the thermal conductivity of tube wall material cannot be measured exactiy, a dding to the uncertainty ia the design and performance calculations. 

Capillary Suction Processes. The force needed to remove water from capillaries increases proportionately with a decrease in capillary radius, exceeding 1400 kPa (200 psi) in a 1-p.m-diameter capillary. Some attempts have been made to use this force as a way to dewater sludges and cakes by providing smaller dry capillaries to suck up the water (27). Sectors of a vacuum filter have been made of microporous ceramic, which conducts the moisture from the cake into the sector and removes the water on the inside by vacuum. Pore size is sufficiently small that the difference in pressure during vacuum is insufficient to displace water from the sector material, thus allowing a smaller vacuum pump to be effective (126). 

Pilot plant tests are conducted using the actual plant materials since small amounts of contaminents can have significant effects on throughput and efficiency. These tests are usually conducted in columns ranging from 0.075-0.15 m diameter the column height (and therefore number of compartments) should be sufficient to accomplish the separation desired this may require several iterations on column height. 

A lace of polyethylene is extruded with a diameter of 3 mm and a temperature of 190°C. If its centre-line must be cooled to 70°C before it can be granulated effectively, calculate the required length of the water bath if the water temperature is 20°C. The haul-off speed is 0.4 tn/s and it may be assumed that the heat transfer from the plastic to the water is by conduction only.
