Depending upon the end-use requirement, wire jacketing is most often made from formulated polyethylene. Blends of polyethylene and ethylene-propylene rubber are used if greafer flexibilify is needed, especially as fhe diameter of fhe jacketing increases as for cables. Another possibility is EPDM rubber with

Nomenclature is the compilation of descriptions of things and technical terms in a special field of knowledge, the vocabulary ofa technical language. In the history of chemistry, a systematic nomenclature became significant only rather late. In the early times of alchemy, the properties of the substance or its appearance played a major role in giving a compound a name. Libavius was the first person who tried to fix some kind of nomenclature in Alckeinia in 1,597. In essence, he gave names to chemical equipment and processes (methods, names that are often still valid in our times.

Emissions from industrial processes are varied and often complex (4). These emissions can be controlled by applying the best available technology. The emissions may vary slightly from one facility to another, using apparently similar equipment and processes, but in spite of this slight variation, similar control technology is usually applied (5). For example, a... 

A database of the hazards associated with different types of equipment and unit operations including the applicability of inherently safer technology in each. As innovative solutions to hazards in equipment and process operations are discovered these could be included in this database for use by others in reducing risk in similar equipment and processes. A summary of design approaches for a number of common types of chemical process equipment will be published in CCPS (1997). This summary may be a starting point for the development of this database. 

Equipment and Processes Equipment and supplies should be placed in the cupboard before a procedure commences. Unnecessary equipment should be removed. High-input heat sources within a cupboard will cause convection currents that can disturb the flow and should be avoided if possible. Work should be carried out well within the cupboard, at least 150 mm from the plane of the sash whenever possible. It should not however be placed closer than 50 mm to the lower extract slot of a back baffle. Large pieces of equipment should if possible be raised 25 to 50 mm above the working surface of the cupboard to improve the flow in the cupboard. 

They mainly apply to products as most of them are concerned with protecting the product from damage and deterioration. They apply to the end product and any items that either form part of the product or are used to produce the product, including any tools, test equipment, and processing materials. Although it is possible for some types of services to deteriorate, this use of the term preservation is covered by the process control and auditing requirements. The only requirements that do apply to services are those for identification, unless product is used in the delivery of a service. If the servicing is done to a product, whether or not the product is owned by the supplier, protection of that product is important. 

Human occupants, electrical/electronic equipment and process plant all emit varying quantities of sensible and latent heat. Equally, these various elements require (or can tolerate) differing environmental conditions. Depending on these operational constraints, the need may well exist to provide natural (or powered) ventilation to maintain environmental conditions (temperature and/or humidity) consistent with the occupational/process requirements.

The present book is devoted to both the experimentally tested micro reactors and micro reaction systems described in current scientific literature as well as the corresponding processes. It will become apparent that many micro reactors at first sight simply consist of a multitude of parallel channels. However, a closer look reveals that the details of fluid dynamics or heat and mass transfer often determine their performance. For this reason, besides the description of the equipment and processes referred to above, this book contains a separate chapter on modeling and simulation of transport phenomena in micro reactors. 

The significance of corrosion protection has risen sharply in recent years for a number of reasons (1) because of efforts to reduce the metal content of parts (e.g., by using thinner metallic support structures) (2) with the use of new types of equipment and processes involving expensive equipment operated under extreme conditions, such as nuclear reactors and jet and rocket engines and (3) in connection with the development of products having extremely thin metal films, such as printed circuit boards and integrated circuits. 

The extraction of the common metals from their ores in antiquity was based mainly on relatively simple equipment and processes. Lumps of copper or iron ore, for example, that may have formed part of a ring of stones around an ancient domestic fire and become embedded in its embers, could have been reduced to metal. It is quite reasonable to conjecture, therefore, that some prehistoric campfire became, quite accidentally, the first metallurgical furnace. All that is needed to convert a campfire into a smelting furnace is a small depression in the ground to receive the molten metal. A furnace of this type is illustrated in Figure 42 (Gowland 1912 Killick 2001).
