The extent to which this maximum occurs depends on the type of hydrocarbon and on the oxygen content (Fig. 53). It should be emphasized that the hydrocarbon fraction in the exhaust gas is composed out of typically more than 100 different individual hydrocarbons (Fig. 54). The composition of the hydrocarbon fraction depends on numerous parameters, such as the composition of the fuel, the engine operating conditions and the design of the engine (Fig. 55).

At the heart of a leaching plant design at any level—conceptual, pre-liminaiy, firm engineering, or whatever—is unit-operations and process design of the extraction unit or hne. The major aspects that are particular for the leaching operation are the selection of process and operating conditions and the sizing of the extrac tion equipment. 

One of the common problems associated with underwater pelletizers is the tendency of the die holes to freeze off. This results in nonuniform polymer melt flow, increased pressure drop, and irregular extrudate shape. A detailed engineering analysis of pelletizers is performed which accounts for the complex interaction between the fluid mechanics and heat transfer processes in a single die hole. The pelletizer model is solved numerically to obtain velocity, temperature, and pressure profiles. Effect of operating conditions, and polymer rheology on die performance is evaluated and discussed. 

If the investigations are intended to develop an industrial production, the focus will be to optimize the operation conditions and to get base data for scale-up. In this case, the electrochemical properties of the experimental cell have to be equivalent with the planned technical cell. Thus, it is necessary to carry out experiments on a sufficient large scale, including lifetime tests of cell components. For industrial and engineering aspects, see for example, [1, 2, 3b, 4] (overview), [5c] (detailed), and [6, 7] (including theory). 

Fuel processor tests have been on the order of 40 hours. There is a need is to show similar results at realistic operating conditions and further engineering development to enhance the catalyst activity and make the fuel processor lighter and smaller. 

The conversions, selectivities, and kinetics are ideally obtained in a small batch reactor, the operating conditions and catalyst formulation are determined from a bench-scale continuous reactor, the process is tested and optimized in a pilot plant, and finally the plant is constructed and operated. While this is the ideal sequence, it seldom proceeds in this way, and the chemical engineer must be prepared to consider aU aspects simultaneously.

Effect of Engine Operating Conditions. The interdependence of the operating variables again renders the direct determination of the influence of one variable on combustor deposits difficult. The situation is similar to the determination of the effect of these variables on combustion efficiency and limits.
