The above system of directly sensing a process stream without more is often not sufficiently accurate for process control so, robot titration is preferred in that case by means of for instance the microcomputerized (64K) Titro-Analyzer ADI 2015 (see Fig. 5.28) or its more flexible type ADI 2020 (handling even four sample streams) recently developed by Applikon Dependable Instruments20. These analyzers take a sample directly from process line(s), size it, run the complete analysis and transmit the calculated result(s) to process operation (or control) they allow for a wide range of analyses (potentiometric, amperometric and colorimetric) by means of titrations to a fixed end-point or to a full curve with either single or multiple equivalent points direct measurements with or without (standard) addition of auxiliary reagents can be presented in any units (pH, mV, temperature, etc.) required. 

We would expect the radical balance reactions (6) through (16) to be equilibrated at all points in these flames. Tests of the equilibration have been made, as for example in Figure 6, by evaluating the equilibrium concentration ratios using experimentally measured concentration values. Since O, H, S, and H2S concentrations were not measured directly we can indirectly evaluate the equilibration of the radical balance process by using reactions that are sums of the above listed processes. Four such reactions are listed below with an indication of a combination of reactions (6) through (16) that is chemically equivalent. 

The aether concept disappeared from physics for several decades after the discovery of special relativity, which led to the four-dimensional formulation of all natural laws. The argument against the aether is based on the perceived nature of a perfect vacuum that contains no matter and no fields. Relativistically, such a region must be isotropic and all directions within the light cone must be equivalent. If the aether hypothesis means that a mobile aether exists at each point in the region, its motion creates a preferred direction within the light-cone in space-time, at variance with the requirement of relativity. Experiments, like that of Michelson and Morley (T4.3.1), designed to measure the aether drift, actually measure the velocity of the earth relative to a stationary aether. 

As the titration curve shows (see Fig. 15.13), the pH increases dramatically in the immediate vicinity of the equivalence point [HjO ] changes by four orders of magnitude between 99.98 mL and 100.02 mL NaOH Any indicator whose color changes between pH = 5.0 and pH = 9.0 therefore signals the endpoint of the titration to an accuracy of 0.02 mL in 100.0 mL, or 0.02%. The titration endpoint, the experimentally measured volume at which the indicator changes color, is then almost identical to the equivalence point, the theoretical volume at which the chemical amount of added base equals that of acid present originally. 

The value of 1/a for nitrogen at 1 atm is 272. Experiments with other gases indicate that the ice point, 0°C, is equivalent to a value of near 273 K. The Kelvin scale is now defined with high accuracy such that the triple point of water (where ice, water and water vapour are all in equilibrium, at 0.01°C) has the temperature 273.1600° on the Kelvin scale. The triple point is more accurately defined than the ice point. On this basis 0°C is 273.15 K. Measurement on this ideal gas scale is best conducted with a constant pressure helium thermometer, although there are small deviations from the absolute scale. A comparison of the four temperature scales discussed above is given in Table 1.1.
