Elliptical ends

Each pressure vessel is supplied with end caps. Figure 6.11 shows an end cap with an elliptical head with the end adaptor in place. This end cap would be placed at the feed end of the pressure vessel. Figure 6.12 shows an elliptical end cap with the thrust cone (see discussion below) for a side-entry pressure vessel. Figure 6.13 shows a standard end cap with thrust ring for an end-entry pressure vessel. Thrust cones/rings are used on the concentrate end of the pressure vessel. End caps are held in place with a snap ring, shown in Figure 6.14. 

Based on the available installation area, the maximum vessel diameter will be e.g. 10 m. With this, the vessel height of 12.2 m can be determined. Now the vessel design has to be fixed which depends mainly on the design pressure. Atmospheric vessels, for example, can be designed with a flat bottom surface and top cover while pressure vessels are equipped with elliptical ends or spherical ends.

The most frequently applied mechanical manometers in ventilation applications are fluid manometers, bur the following types are also used. The Bourdon tube is a small-voiume tube with an elliptic cross-section bent to the shape of a circular arc, the C-type. One end is open to the applied pressure while the other end is closed. The pressure inside the tube causes an elastic defonnation ot the tube and displaces the closed end, which is then converted, by means of a linkage mechanism, into the movement of a pointer. The Bourdon tube may be of a spiral or helical design as well. 

Referring to the wetted surface, A , the surface areas of ASME flanged and dished head, ASME elliptical heads, hemispherical heads, etc., are often the end assemblies on... 

The ends of the drums should be elliptical or dished heads and never flat.

The molar ellipticity of these dendrimers was found to increase proportional to the number of chiral end groups. This is to be expected, in the absence of interactions between the terminal tryptophane moieties. No higher-generation dendrimers of this type have been reported. Other amino-acid-containing chiral dendrimers have been described by Meijer et al. who attached various amino acid derivatives to the periphery of poly(propylene imine) dendrimers (see Sect. 3) and more recently by Liskamp et al. (modification of polyamide dendra) [22] and Ritter et al. (synthesis of grafted polymerizable dendrimers containing L-aspartic acid components) [23]. 

This equation can be solved exactly in terms of elliptic integrals, but this solution is somewhat complex. However, by a slight modification of the boundary condition at the end of the pore, it is possible to obtain a good engineering approximation that is useful for fast reactions. In this approximation, we replace the boundary condition at the end of the pore by... 

A mud slurry is drained from a tank through a 50 ft long plastic hose. The hose has an elliptical cross section with a major axis of 4 in. and a minor axis of 2 in. The open end of the hose is 10 ft below the level in the tank. The mud is a Bingham plastic, with a yield stress of 100 dyn/cm2, a limiting viscosity of 50 cP, and a density of 1.4g/cm3. 

Plots of the LDOS at the surface (n = 1) site of a 100-atom chain are presented in Fig. 7.3 for various field strengths. For no field, F = 0 (Fig. 7.3(a)), the LDOS exhibits a discretized version of the semi-elliptical shape, familiar for a surface DOS. For small field strength (Fig. 7.3(b)), an almost-linear region appears in the lower end of the quasi-band. As the field strength increases (Fig. 7.3(c) and (d)), the region spreads across the band, with increasing intensities. In addition, there is a rigid shift in the structure to... 

The elliptical approach assumes that the zone of influence is elliptical (Ae) with the well end points constituting the face of the ellipse, and the minor semiaxis equal to the radius of influence. The area of drainage (Ae) is... 

If a thin solid plate contains an elliptic hole of the half-axes a (the longer one) and b, and the ellipse is oriented so that the longer axis is perpendicular to the direction of the tensile force, then the stress at the two ends of this axis is... 

The Greek key barrels have between 5 and 13 strands, but in all cases they enclose approximately the same cross-sectional area (see Section II,B). The cross sections are somewhat elliptical, with more flattening the more strands there are. For 8- to 10-stranded barrels, it is noticeable that the direction of the long axis of the cross-section twists from one end of the barrel to the other by close to 90° (see Fig. 99).
