Exchange loss factor

The term (1 - ) is a loss factor. The value of u is usually estimated from the ratio of exchangeable protons within the physical volume Vy to the total exchangeable protons in the same volume of water. If hydration shells are not taken into account, typical neutron (1 - u) values are 0.81 for proteins (0.89 for hydrophobic residues 0.72 for hydrophilic residues), 0.77 for carbohydrates, 0.85 for RNAs, 0.90 for DNAs, and 0.99 for hpids. For X-rays, (1 — u) is close to unity. The other Stuhrmann constants are expressed as ... 

Fig. 1. Effect of energy use on total cost where total cost is the sum of capital and energy costs for the lifetime of the plant, discounted to present value. Point D corresponds to the design point if the designer uses an energy price that is low by a factor of four in projected energy price. Effects on costs of (a) pressure drop in piping, (b) pressure drop in exchangers, (c) heat loss through insulation, (d) reflux use, and (e) energy recovery through waste-heat boiler...

Most types of ion-exchange resin suffer some breakdown and volume loss over time because of attrition, excessive heat, or other factors. Water softeners should be inspected annually, and a double backwash procedure should be provided. This generally lifts the broken resin ( fines ) to the top of the bed, where it can be removed and replaced to restore capacity. Allow for 5 to 10% resin operating capacity loss per year because of physical breakdown. At many sites the resin is unfortunately not inspected regularly but merely replaced when a serious decline in operating capacity is noticed. Here a resin life expectancy of, say, 6 to 8 years probably is the norm. 

The spacer grid in a rod bundle is also a turbulence promoter that enhances liquid-vapor exchange and bubble condensation. The local intensity of such turbulence is a function of the grid pressure loss coefficient, K, and the distance from the grid, t D. Thus an empirical spacer factor, Fs, can be defined as... 

To circumvent the problems of ring cleavage in cyclobutabenzene (38) and thereby extend the series, the related reaction of protodesilylation has been used. The rate constants and partial rate factors for protodesilylation of benzocycloalke-nes in perchloric acid-methanol at 50 °C were measured (Table 3). In this system the enhancement of rate between o-xylene (5) and tetralin (2) is much less dramatic, but the loss of a-reactivity as a function of decreasing ring size stands out clearly a factor of 15 separates the rates of a exchange for tetralin versus cyclobutaben-...
