Flow downstream fractionation

Electroosmotic flow in a capillary also makes it possible to analyze both cations and anions in the same sample. The only requirement is that the electroosmotic flow downstream is of a greater magnitude than electrophoresis of the oppositely charged ions upstream. Electro osmosis is the preferred method of generating flow in the capillary, because the variation in the flow profile occurs within a fraction of Kr from the wall (49). When electro osmosis is used for sample injection, differing amounts of analyte can be found between the sample in the capillary and the uninjected sample, because of different electrophoretic mobilities of analytes (50). Two other methods of generating flow are with gravity or with a pump. 

In the process (Figure 9-12), the feedstock (a vacuum residuum) is mixed with recycle vacuum residue from downstream fractionation, hydrogen-rich recycle gas, and fresh hydrogen. This combined stream is fed into the bottom of the reactor whereby the upward flow expands the catalyst bed. The mixed vapor liquid effluent from the reactor, either goes to flash drum for phase separation or the next reactor. A portion of the hydrogen rich gas is recycled to the reactor. The product oil is cooled and stabilized and the vacuum residue portion is recycled to increase conversion. 

An improvement in the performance of the radiant premixed burners could be obtained by adopting perovskite-based catalysts, attractive because of their low cost, thermo-chemical stabihty at comparatively high temperature (900-1100 C) and catalytic activity [19] such catalysts increase the fuel flow rate fraction burnt within or just downstream the burner deck, thus maximizing the heat fraction transferred by radiation, cooling the flame temperature and improving the combustion completeness with lower CO, unbumed HC and NOx levels. 

Figure 4.37 and Figure 4.38 show the process flow diagrams (PFD) for the FCC unit and downstream fractionation units that we will use to buUd the model in question. We extensively discussed the features and operating issues associated with this type unit in Chapter 2. In the context of this chapter, we also build models for the main fractionator and associated gas plant... 

In continuous-flow zone electrophoresis the solute mixture to be separated is injec ted continuously as a narrow source within a body of carrier fluid flowing between two electrodes. As the solute mixture passes through the transverse field, individual components migrate sideways to produce zones which can then be taken off separately downstream as purified fractions. 

Since pipe flow is more nearly isenthalpic, the flash fraction x is found from an enthalpy balance between the stagnation point and a point z downstream. Accounting for changes in potential energy, kinetic energy, and heat added or removed from the pipe Q, x is given by ... 

The molar ratio of steam to ethylbenzene at the inlet is 9 1. The bed is 1 m in length and the void fraction is 0.5. The inlet pressure is set at 1 atm and the outlet pressure is adjusted to give a superficial velocity of 9 m/s at the tube inlet. (The real design problem would specify the downstream pressure and the mass flow rate.) The particle Reynolds number is 100 based on the inlet conditions 4 x 10 Pa s). Find the conversion, pressure, and velocity at the tube outlet, assuming isothermal operation. 

The increasing void fraction and acceleration of the flow also produce changes in the flow regime with downstream location. As shown in Figure 4.2, for vertical upward flow, bubbly flow at the onset location subsequently changes to slug, churn, and then annular flow. When there is a large difference in the liquid and vapor... 

To see why numerical dispersion arises, consider solute passing into a nodal block, across its upstream face. Over a time step, the solute might traverse only a fraction of the block s length. In the numerical solution, however, solute is distributed evenly within the block. At the end of the time step, some of it has in effect flowed across the entire nodal block and is in position to be carried into the next block downstream, in the subsequent time step. In this way, the numerical procedure advances some of the solute relative to the mean groundwater flow, much as hydrodynamic dispersion does. 

Most current multidimensional spray simulations have adopted the thin or very thin spray assumptions,[55°1 i.e., the volume occupied by the dispersed phase is assumed to be small. This can be justified if a simulation starts some distance downstream of the nozzle exit, where the gas volume fraction is large enough, or if the computational cells are relatively large. Accordingly, two major classes of models have been used in spray modeling locally homogeneous flow (LHF) models and two-phase-flow or separated-flow (SF) models. 

From an adjacent cornfield a total amount of 200 kg of the herbicide atrazine is. accidentally spilled into the River G over a time span of 30 minutes. Atrazine is fairly conservative in the water. Calculate what fraction of the atrazine is held back by the sediments on the first 10 km downstream of the spill. Consider both flow regimes (I and II) introduced in Illustrative Example 23.1. 

Figure 4.26 shows a flow reactor of diameter D in which the downstream portion of the walls is catalytic. Assume that there is no gas-phase chemistry and that there is a single chemically active gas-phase species that is dilute in an inert carrier gas. For example, consider carbon-monoxide carried in air. Assume further a highly efficient catalyst that completely destroys any CO at the surface in other words, the gas-phase mass fraction of CO at the surface is zero. Upstream of the catalytic section, the CO is completely mixed with the carrier (i.e., a flat profile). The CO2 that desorbs from the catalyst is so dilute in the air that its behavior can be neglected. Thus the gas-phase and mass-transfer problem can be treated as a binary mixture of CO and air. The overall objective of this analysis is to... 

Figure 1.171 Numerical simulation results obtained with a pulsed flow from the perpendicular inlet, (a) Mean velocity as a function of time in the inlet (dashed line) and in the perpendicular inlet (solid line). Contour levels of the mass fraction of one liquid in the VZ-plane cross-section taken 0.25 mm downstream of the confluence at various times marked on the previous curves are also given.

It is more economical to install two towers in series than to erect one column taller than 200 ft. Two 100-ft-tall columns are therefore used in this application for the IC5 fractionator and two 100-ft-tall columns each for the NC5 fractionator. Thus four columns, each 100 ft tall, are required to make the IC5 and NC5 overhead product streams. A bottoms transfer pump between each column pair is of course required to transfer the bottoms liquid to the downstream top column tray. The vapors flow in a countercurrent direction from the bottom tower top to the bottoms section of the upper column. The transfer pumps placed between these two columns transfer 1000 gpm of liquid from the bottom tray of one to the top tray of the second column, which is the bottom column of the two.
