Fluid Identification

The oil viscosity is estimated from the log mean relaxation time and/or log mean diffusivity of the oil distribution and the gas/oil ratio [17, 40, 41, 44].

The oil and water response in Figure 3.6.7 could easily be distinguished in this example with kerosene as the oil. If the oil was a crude oil with a broad distribution of relaxation times, the oil may have non-zero response at relaxation times shorter than the Tx cut-off. This could result in mistaking a part of the oil response as BVI. The correct approach in this case is to use diffusion measurements to distinguish between water and oil. This will be discussed under fluid identification (Section 3.6.9). 

The first computer step after loading the input is to identify the fluids on the shell and tube sides. A block diagram of the fluid identification and properties subroutine is given in Figure 2-49. After identification, the properties are assembled and transferred to where they will be used in the program. To save valuable memory space this same routine is used for both the shell and tube sides.

Monobasic acids are determined by gas chromatographic analysis of the free acids dibasic acids usually are derivatized by one of several methods prior to chromatographing (176,177). Methyl esters are prepared by treatment of the sample with BF.—methanol, H2SO4—methanol, or tetramethylammonium hydroxide. Gas chromatographic analysis of silylation products also has been used extensively. Liquid chromatographic analysis of free acids or of derivatives also has been used (178). More sophisticated hplc methods have been developed recentiy to meet the needs for trace analyses ia the environment, ia biological fluids, and other sources (179,180). Mass spectral identification of both dibasic and monobasic acids usually is done on gas chromatographicaHy resolved derivatives. 

Raman Microspectroscopy. Raman spectra of small soflds or small regions of soflds can be obtained at a spatial resolution of about 1 p.m usiag a Raman microprobe. A widespread appHcation is ia the characterization of materials. For example, the Raman microprobe is used to measure lattice strain ia semiconductors (30) and polymers (31,32), and to identify graphitic regions ia diamond films (33). The microprobe has long been employed to identify fluid iaclusions ia minerals (34), and is iacreasiagly popular for identification of iaclusions ia glass (qv) (35). 

Sample Handling System. Venous or capillary blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid are specimens routinely used in medical diagnostic testing. Of these biological fluids, the use of venous blood is by far the most prevalent. Collection devices such as syringes and partial vacuum test tubes, eg, Vacutainer, are used to draw ten milliliters or less of venous blood. At collection time, the test tubes are carefully labeled for later identification. 

Hyphenation of HPLC with NMR combines the power of sepai ation with a maximum of stiaictural information by NMR. HPLC-NMR has been used in the detection and identification of diaig metabolites in human urine since 1992. The rapid and unambiguous determination of the major metabolites of diaigs without any pretreatment of the investigated fluid represents the main advantage of this approach. Moreover the method is non-destmctive and without the need to use radiolabelled compounds.

Natural crystals, synthetic crystals, and glasses often contain small bubbles that preserve samples of the fluid from which the crystals grew or of the atmosphere over the glass melt. Using a long focal length lens, the laser beam can be focused into inclusions at some depth below the crystal or glass surface. The Raman spectra then permit the identification of molecular species dissolved in the aqueous solutions or of components in the gas bubbles. ...

The action of the impeller design produces flow of the fluid, head on the fluid, or shear in the fluid, all to varying degrees depending on the specific design. A general identification of these characteristics for several types of impellers is given by [27]. (Note Use consistent dimensions).

The identification of co-occurring medical problems is an important element in detoxification (Naranjo and Sellers 1986). Good supportive care and treatment of concurrent illness, including fluid and electrolyte repletion, are essential (Naranjo and Sellers 1986). Administration of thiamine (50—100 mg/day po or im) and multivitamins is a low-cost, low-risk intervention for the prophylaxis and treatment of alcohol-related neurological disturbances. 

The true reaction sequences that will be described in Volume 1 c are frequently used in toxicological analysis, since the unequivocal identification of medicaments, intoxicants and addictive drugs in body fluids almost always requires the simultaneous detection of many possible substances with completely different chemical characteristics.

Of particular interest in brevetoxin research are the diagnosis of intoxication and identification of brevetoxins and their metabolites in biological fluids. We are investigating the distribution and fate of radiolabeled PbTx-3 in rats. Three model systems were used to study the toxicokinetics and metabolism of PbTx-3 1) rats injected intravenously with a bolus dose of toxin, 2) isolated rat livers perfused with toxin, and 3) isolated rat hepatocytes exposed to the toxin in vitro.
