For the purpose of understanding pressure filtering, attention may be restricted to the single-component, constant-property, nonreacting equations for a perfect gas. Introducing the nondimensional variables into the vector forms of the mass-continuity, constant-viscosity Navier-Stokes, and perfect-gas thermal-energy equations yields the following nondimensional system ... 

The design equation for a perfectly mixed "fluidized" catalytic reactor can be replaced by that of a CSTR. 

Refer to Fig. 12.1. The radius of the driver section, r,. is about 15 times smaller than the critical radius / <, [8], Inside the driver section, pressure is set at about 15-20 times higher than the peak values of the corresponding Chapman-Jouguet (CJ) detonation. Essentially, the initial condition provides a strong cylindrical expanding blast wave. The species compositions at both sides are H2 + O2 + 7At. The pressure and temperature of the driven section are 0.2 atm and 293 K, respectively. The deposited energy, E, is calculated based on the internal energy equation for a perfect gas ...

There is no universal state equation like the state equation for a perfect gas - each equation has its advantages but also its disadvantages. The more adjustable constants the equation has the better it represents a given gas the best state equation does not require too many adjnstment measurements, that is to say, one that contains a limited number of constants. All equations proposed tend towards the perfect gas equation since, as shown in Figure 7.2, a real gas tends towards a perfect gas when the pressure tends towards zero. 

This equation has two unknowns Xq and Xe), and an empirical relation between them is needed. Many have been tried, and one of the best is to assume that the excess of To over Te expressed as a ratio to Tp (zero for a perfectly stirred chamber) is a constant A [ (Tg — Tg)/ Tp]. Although A should vaiy with burner type, the effects of firing rate and percent excess air are small. In the absence of performance data on the land of furnace under study, assume A = 300/Tp, °R or 170/Tp, K. The left side of Eq. (5-178) then becomes D 1 —Xc + A), and with coefficients of Xc and Xc collected, the equation becomes... 

These equations are consistent with the isentropic relations for a perfect gas p/po = (p/po), T/To = p/poY. Equation (6-116) is valid for adiabatic flows with or without friction it does not require isentropic flow However, Eqs. (6-115) and (6-117) do require isentropic flow The exit Mach number Mi may not exceed unity. At Mi = 1, the flow is said to be choked, sonic, or critical. When the flow is choked, the pressure at the exit is greater than the pressure of the surroundings into which the gas flow discharges. The pressure drops from the exit pressure to the pressure of the surroundings in a series of shocks which are highly nonisentropic. Sonic flow conditions are denoted by sonic exit conditions are found by substituting Mi = Mf = 1 into Eqs. (6-115) to (6-118). 

With incompressibile fluids, the value of the acoustic speed tends toward infinity. For isentropic flow, the equation of state for a perfect gas can be written ...

Charles and Gay-Lussac, working independently, found that gas pressure varied with the absolute temperature. If the volume was maintained constant, the pressure would vary in proportion to the absolute temperature [I j. Using a proportionality constant R, the relationships can be combined to form the equation of state for a perfect gas, otherwi.se known as the perfect gas law. 

This equation predicts that the fracture stress increases with the square root of the number of bonds to be broken and is inversely proportional to M. The percolation parameter p is in effect, the normalized bond density such that for a perfect net without defects, p = 1 and for a net that is damaged or contains missing bonds. 

This equation of state applies to all substances under all conditions of p, and T. All of the virial coefficients B, C,. .. are zero for a perfect gas. For other materials, the virial coefficients are finite and they give information about molecular interactions. The virial coefficients are temperature-dependent. Theoretical expressions for the virial coefficients can be found from the methods of statistical thermodynamic s. 

The design equations for a chemical reactor contain several parameters that are functions of temperature. Equation (7.17) applies to a nonisothermal batch reactor and is exemplary of the physical property variations that can be important even for ideal reactors. Note that the word ideal has three uses in this chapter. In connection with reactors, ideal refers to the quality of mixing in the vessel. Ideal batch reactors and CSTRs have perfect internal mixing. Ideal PFRs are perfectly mixed in the radial direction and have no mixing in the axial direction. These ideal reactors may be nonisothermal and may have physical properties that vary with temperature, pressure, and composition. 

A simulation model needs to be developed for each reactor compartment within each time interval. An ideal-batch reactor has neither inflow nor outflow of reactants or products while the reaction is carried out. Assuming the reaction mixture is perfectly mixed within each reactor compartment, there is no variation in the rate of reaction throughout the reactor volume. The design equation for a batch reactor in differential form is from Chapter 5 ... 

Subtracting Equation (3.47) from Equation (3.42) gives, for a perfect gas mixture with uniform properties in the control volume,... 

Now, in rheological terminology, our compressibility JT, is our bulk compliance and the bulk elastic modulus K = 1 /Jr- This is not a surprise of course, as the difference in the heat capacities is the rate of change of the pV term with temperature, and pressure is the bulk stress and the relative volume change, the bulk strain. Immediately we can see the relationship between the thermodynamic and rheological expressions. If, for example, we use the equation of state for a perfect gas, substituting pV = RTinto a = /V(dV/dT)p yields a = R/pV = /Tand so for our perfect gas ... 

Under many circumstances, the behavior of a simple unireactant enzyme system cannot be described by the Michaelis-Menten equation, although a v versus [S] plot is still hyperbolic and can be described by a modified version of the equation. For example, as will be discussed later, when enzyme activity is measured in the presence of a competitive inhibitor, hyperbolic curve fitting with the Michaelis-Menten equation yields a perfectly acceptable hyperbola, but with a value for Km which is apparently different from that in the control curve O Figure 4-7). Of course, neither the affinity of the substrate for the active site nor the turnover number for that substrate is actually altered by the presence of a competitive... 

For a perfect, uniform crystal, whether in bulk or as a thin layer, the Takagi-Taupin equations can be solved exactly as given in the next section. For the general case with multiple layers, however, it is necessary to integrate them numerically. The concepts of the dispersion surface are lost, and we cannot tell directly in which directions wavefields are propagating. They do give directly the intensities of the direct and diffracted beams emerging from the crystal, and all interference features are preserved. 

To a first approximation, which neglects changes in average chain structure, the loss in elastically active junction point concentration may be translated directly into loss in concentration of elastically active chains and increase in the value of M, . For a perfect network in the dry state, the concentration of elastically active chains is given by the equations... 

A shock wave is characterized by the entropy change across it. Using the equation of state for a perfect gas shown in Eq. (1.5), the entropy change is represented by... 

First we must derive the equations for the perfectly stirred tanks. In these ideal tanks, it is assumed that the entire contents have the same composition as the outlet stream. Thus the C curve, or the response to a pulse input, can be found quite easily by a material balance. 

Next consider the response of a PFTR with steady flow to a pulse injected at f = 0. Wc could obtain this by solving the transient PFTR equation written earher in this chapter, but we can see the solution simply by following the pulse down the reactor. (This is identical to the transformation we made in transforrning the batch reactor equations to the PFTR equations.) The S(0) pulse moves without broadening because we assumed perfect plug flow, so at position z the pulse passes at time z/u and the pulse exits the reactor at time T = L/u. Thus for a perfect PFTR the RTD is given by... 

Figure 2-7 A diagram for IR calibration (Equation 2-86). The data for each given H20t content is obtained by heating the sample to different temperatures to vary the species concentrations. For a perfect calibration, all the trends would lie on a single straight line. However, there is some scatter. Furthermore, the slope defined by data for one fixed H20t content does not equal that for another. Hence, the calibration results (8523 = 0.168 8452 = 0.166) shown in this diagram have a relative precision of only about 10%, whereas the relative precision of IR band intensity data is about 1%.

The method developed by McDonald (M2) to calculate surface dynamic pressure distributions for falling drops (see Chapter 7) may also be applied to large fluid particles. Equation (7-19) may therefore be applied. For a perfect spherical-cap whose terminal velocity Uj is given by Eq. (8-5), the modified pressure over the leading surface is given by... 

A promising method based on an integral equation formulation of the problem of scattering by an arbitrary particle has come into prominence in recent years. It was developed by Waterman, first for a perfect conductor (1965), later for a particle with less restricted optical properties (1971). More recently it has been applied to various scattering problems under the name Extended Boundary Condition Method, although we shall follow Waterman s preference for the designation T-matrix method. Barber and Yeh (1975) have given an alternative derivation of this method.
