Essential components

Small capacity units have air-cooled condensers. 

The sensible heat of the compressed incoming refrigerant vapours as well as the latent heat of condensation is ultimately removed by cooling water flowing through the condenser. A cooling tower is used to maintain the temperature of the cooling water for proper condensation. 

The refrigeration units consume considerable power and have many components operating at higher pressure—which are to be treated as pressure vessels with all applicable regulations. 

Total heat to be removed from the system by the circulating chilled water at present in summer and winter seasons. This should also be estimated when the 

Normal and lowest temperatures required for the chilled water while circulating through the process units like condensers and cooling jackets. Maximum flow rate of chilled water shall also be considered while deciding the capacity of the pumps.

C4HgNO CH3CHOHCHNH2COOH. An amino-acid m.p. 251-252 C. Occurs widely in proteins, and has been shown to be an essential component of foods. 

Hydrocarbons constitute the essential components of petroleum their molecules contain only carbon and hydrogen they are grouped into many chemical families according to their structure. All structures are based on the quadrivalency of carbon. 

An essential component of cell membranes are the lipids, lecithins, or phosphatidylcholines (PC). The typical ir-a behavior shown in Fig. XV-6 is similar to that for the simple fatty-acid monolayers (see Fig. IV-16) and has been modeled theoretically [36]. Branched hydrocarbons tails tend to expand the mono-layer [38], but generally the phase behavior is described by a fluid-gel transition at the plateau [39] and a semicrystalline phase at low a. As illustrated in Fig. XV-7, the areas of the dense phase may initially be highly branched, but they anneal to a circular shape on recompression [40]. The theoretical evaluation of these shape transitions is discussed in Section IV-4F.

Abrasives have evolved iato an essential component of modem iadustry. Sandstone, emery, and comndum were the abrasives of choice until the late 1800s when artificial materials were developed. Today synthetic abrasives offer such improved performance that the natural ones have been largely replaced except for jobs where cost is paramount. In 1987 U.S. statistics (4) showed natural abrasive production to be about 7 million while that of cmde manufactured abrasives was over 182 million. Total value of abrasives and abrasive products worldwide is estimated to be over 6 biUion dollars. 

Lithium fluoride is an essential component of the fluorine cell electrolyte 1% LiF in the KF 2HF electrolyte improves the wettability of the carbon anodes and lowers the tendency of the cells to depolarize (18). Thermoluminescent radiation dosimeters used in personnel and environmental monitoring and in radiation therapy contain lithium fluoride powder, extmded ribbons, or rods (19). 

Precisely controllable rf pulse generation is another essential component of the spectrometer. A short, high power radio frequency pulse, referred to as the B field, is used to simultaneously excite all nuclei at the T,arm or frequencies. The B field should ideally be uniform throughout the sample region and be on the order of 10 ]ls or less for the 90° pulse. The width, in Hertz, of the irradiated spectral window is equal to the reciprocal of the 360° pulse duration. This can be used to determine the limitations of the sweep width (SW) irradiated. For example, with a 90° hard pulse of 5 ]ls, one can observe a 50-kHz window a soft pulse of 50 ms irradiates a 5-Hz window. The primary requirements for rf transmitters are high power, fast switching, sharp pulses, variable power output, and accurate control of the phase. 

Nucleic Acids. Phosphoms is an essential component of nucleic acids, polymers consisting of chains of nucleosides, a sugar plus a nitrogenous base, and joined by phosphate groups (43,44). In ribonucleic acid (RNA), the sugar is D-ribose in deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA), the sugar is 2-deoxy-D-ribose.

All these polyesters are produced by bacteria in some stressed conditions in which they are deprived of some essential component for thek normal metabohc processes. Under normal conditions of balanced growth the bacteria utilizes any substrate for energy and growth, whereas under stressed conditions bacteria utilize any suitable substrate to produce polyesters as reserve material. When the bacteria can no longer subsist on the organic substrate as a result of depletion, they consume the reserve for energy and food for survival or upon removal of the stress, the reserve is consumed and normal activities resumed. This cycle is utilized to produce the polymers which are harvested at maximum cell yield. This process has been treated in more detail in a paper (71) on the mechanism of biosynthesis of poly(hydroxyaIkanoate)s. 

Gibbsite usually contains several tenths of a percent of alkaU metal ions the technical product, precipitated from a sodium aluminate solution, contains up to 0.3% Na20 wliich carmot be washed out even using dilute HQ. Several authors (1,2) suggest that these alkaU ions are an essential component of gibbsite structure. 

Biosynthesis of coen2yme A (CoA) ia mammalian cells incorporates pantothenic acid. Coen2yme A, an acyl group carrier, is a cofactor for various en2ymatic reactions and serves as either a hydrogen donor or an acceptor. Pantothenic acid is also a stmctural component of acyl carrier protein (AGP). AGP is an essential component of the fatty acid synthetase complex, and is therefore requited for fatty acid synthesis. Free pantothenic acid is isolated from hver, and is a pale yeUow, viscous, and hygroscopic oil. 

Control of nitrogen oxides ia aircraft exhaust is of increa sing concern because nitrogen oxides react with ozone ia the protective layer of atmosphere which exists ia the altitude region where supersonic aircraft operate. Research is under way to produce a new type of combustor which minimizes NO formation. It is an essential component of the advanced propulsion unit needed for a successflil supersonic transport fleet. 

Whereas certain rocks of igneous origin formed by melting and recrystallization can include minerals enriched in the lanthanides (4), cerium is usually present as a trace element rather than as an essential component. Only a few minerals in which cerium is an essential stmcture-defining component occur in economically significant deposits. Two minerals supply the world s cerium, bastnasite [68909-13-7] LnFCO., and monazite [1306-41 -8] (Ln,Th)PO. ... 

The essential components of an electroplating process are an electrode to be plated (the cathode) a second electrode to complete the circuit (the anode) an electrolyte containing the metal ions to be deposited and a d-c power source. The electrodes are immersed in the electrolyte such that the anode is coimected to the positive leg of the power supply and the cathode to the negative. As the current is increased from 2ero, a minimum point is reached where metal plating begins to take place on the cathode. The physics of this process has been the topic of many studies, and several theories have been proposed. A discussion of these theories can be found elsewhere (19). 

A hybridoma can live indefinitely in a growth medium that includes salts, glucose, glutamine, certain amino acids, and bovine serum that provides essential components that have not been identified. Serum is expensive, and its cost largely determines the economic feasibihty of a particular ciilture system. Only recently have substitutes or partial replacements for serum been found. Antibiotics are often included to prevent infection of the culture. The pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen, and carbon dioxide concentration must be closely controlled. The salt determines the osmotic pressure to preserve the integrity of the fragile cell. 

Perhaps the most important stress factor affecting corrosion fatigue is the frequency of the cyclic stress. Since corrosion is an essential component of the failure mechanism and since corrosion processes typically require time for the interaction between the metal and its environment, the corrosion-fatigue life of a metal depends on the frequency of the cyclic stress. Relatively low-stress frequencies permit adequate time for corrosion to occur high-stress frequencies may not allow sufficient time for the corrosion processes necessary for corrosion... 

In many cases, it is also helpful to have the path repel itself so that the transition pathway is self-avoiding. An acmal dynamic trajectory may oscillate about a minimum energy configuration prior to an activated transition. In the computed restrained, selfavoiding path, there will be no clusters of intermediates isolated in potential energy minima and no loops or redundant segments. The self-avoidance restraint reduces the wasted effort in the search for a characteristic reaction pathway. The constraints and restraints are essential components of the computational protocol. 

The first dynamical simulation of a protein based on a detailed atomic model was reported in 1977. Since then, the uses of various theoretical and computational approaches have contributed tremendously to our understanding of complex biomolecular systems such as proteins, nucleic acids, and bilayer membranes. By providing detailed information on biomolecular systems that is often experimentally inaccessible, computational approaches based on detailed atomic models can help in the current efforts to understand the relationship of the strucmre of biomolecules to their function. For that reason, they are now considered to be an integrated and essential component of research in modern biology, biochemistry, and biophysics. 

An electron gun produces and accelerates the electron beam, which is reduced in diameter (demagnified) by one or more electromagnetic electron lenses. Electromagnetic scanning coils move this small electron probe (i.e., the beam) across the specimen in a raster. Electron detectors beyond the specimen collect a signal that is used to modulate the intensity on a cathode-ray tube that is scanned in synchronism with the beam on the specimen. A schematic of the essential components in a dedicated STEM system is shown in Figure 2. 

Standard-grade PSAs are usually made from styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), natural rubber, or blends thereof in solution. In addition to rubbers, polyacrylates, polymethylacrylates, polyfvinyl ethers), polychloroprene, and polyisobutenes are often components of the system ([198], pp. 25-39). These are often modified with phenolic resins, or resins based on rosin esters, coumarones, or hydrocarbons. Phenolic resins improve temperature resistance, solvent resistance, and cohesive strength of PSA ([196], pp. 276-278). Antioxidants and tackifiers are also essential components. Sometimes the tackifier will be a lower molecular weight component of the high polymer system. The phenolic resins may be standard resoles, alkyl phenolics, or terpene-phenolic systems ([198], pp. 25-39 and 80-81). Pressure-sensitive dispersions are normally comprised of special acrylic ester copolymers with resin modifiers. The high polymer base used determines adhesive and cohesive properties of the PSA.

Hierarchical Task Analysis commences by stating the overall objective that the person has to achieve. This is then redescribed into a set of suboperations and the plan specifying when they are carried out. The plan is an essential component of HTA since it describes the information sources that the worker must attend to, in order to signal the need for various activities. Each suboperation can be redescribed further if the analyst requires, again in terms of other operations and plans.
