Fixed characteristics

Problem Definition InteUigent selection of a separator requires a careful and complete statement of the nature of the separation problem. Focusing narrowly on the specific problem, however, is not sufficient, especi ly if the separation is to be one of the steps in a new process. Instead, the problem must be defined as broadly as possible, beginning with the chemical reactor or other source of material to be separated and ending with the separated materials in their desired final form. In this way the influence of preceding and subsequent process steps on the separation step will be iUuminated. Sometimes, of course, the new separator is proposed to replace an existing unit the new separator must then fit into the current process and accept feed materials of more or less fixed characteristics. At other times the separator is only one item in a train of new equipment, all parts of which must work in harmony if the separator is to be effective. 

Calculate the tube-side film coefficient for finned tube, hj. If water, use Figure 10-50A or 10-50B if other fluid, use Equation 10-44 or 10-47. Use an assumed or process determined tube-side velocity or other film fixing characteristic. 

Typical yields have been provided for many synthetic reactions, although I hope students will not misuse these numbers. Too often students consider the yield of a reaction to be a fixed characteristic just as the melting point of a compound is fixed. In practice, many factors affect product yields, and literature values for apparently similar reactions often differ by a factor of 2 or more. The yields given in this book are typical yields that a good student with excellent technique might obtain. 

In other words, contrary to widespread and long-standing belief, proteins do not appear in fractions between fixed characteristic limits of ammonium sulfate concentration, but on the contrary the fractionation limits vary with the concentration of the particular protein. 

Perhaps the most important consequence of the preceding discussion is that enzymes do not come down within fixed limits of salt concentration characteristic of each enzyme, but that the limits vary with the concentration of the enzyme. Fixed characteristic limits can be obtained, however, if the initial solution is always diluted to the same enzyme activity. Unless this is done, the precipitation limits of the enzyme will vary, not only with the stage of purification, but also with the activity of the starting material. Thus in following a published method for purification of an enzyme from yeast, say, one may find that the limits must be modified because the sample of yeast available may have a different content of the enzyme. 

Crystalline solids composed of higftly asymmetric molecules may undergo stepwise increases in disorder as the temperature is increased. Such transitions are reversible and occur at a fixed characteristic temperature [23]. Movement in specific crystallographic directions may become possible, resulting in a liquid crystal in which structure and properties are anisotropic.

Since people vary, designers can follow two altematives (a) Make the design with fixed characteristics the users adjust to the device. One example would be an unadjustable chair. Another example would be a machine-paced assembly fine, (b) Fit the task to the worker. One example would be an adjustable chair. Another example would be a human-paced assembly fine (i.e., with buffers) so all workers could work at individual paces. 

Table 10.3 shows the values of the parameter = (a2 — a )/Tr at different values Vr/v[ , where v[ = Ud/l. From these data it turns out that even at a slight increase in the minimal critical velocity = Ud/l, that is a fixed characteristic of a particular vessel, one can reach 50% of the success in delivering the drug to the vessel waU. Table 10.3 gives a possibility to estimate the required speeds for any vessel when the corresponding characteristics are available. 

Recall that Daltons main idea was that matter was composed of indivisible elementary atoms of fixed characteristic weight. Their combination in simple numbers... 

Now, we further illustrate the flexibility of the transfer matrix method to calculate the effect of replacing the vacuum exit by an infinite zone of fixed characteristics b.Deff and k. We consider /outlet to tho flux at the exit of the reactor, which coincides with the entry of the...

Most machine vision systems rely on data captured by hardware with fixed characteristics. These systems include passive sensing systems—such as video cameras—and active sensing systems—such as laser range finders. In an active vision system, the parameters and characteristics of data capture are dynamically controlled by the scene interpretation system. Active vision systems may employ either active or passive sensors. In an active vision system, however, the state parameters of the sensors, such as focus, aperature, vergence, and dlumination, are controlled to acquire data that will faciKtate scene interpretation.

In order to simplify the way used to determine the reactivity ratios Alfrey and Price proposed a semiempirical relationship in which these factors is expressed as a fixed characteristic of the monomer, but independent of the comonomer. In this way it is not necessary to determine experimentally the relationship for each pair of individual monomers in the copolymerization reaction.
