Fractioning region

PHASE - A phase is defined as a fraction (region) of a system that has peculiar and distinguishable chemical and physical properties. For instance, a magmatic system may be composed of mineral solid phases, fluids (H2O, CO2, etc.), and melts. 

In equation (14.11), ( 1 + n2) cannot equal zero. Hence, d/i3=0. Thus, the chemical potential of the addition compound is not changed by adding an infinitesimal amount d i of C H6 (or d/t2 of C Fe), and equilibrium will be maintained without a change in the equilibrium temperature. The extent to which this statement is true depends upon the degree of dissociation. That is, the more the dissociation, the longer the mole fraction region over which the freezing maximum will remain flat. 

Since we are dealing with the product of the two reactant concentrations, making them approximately equal is the best way to minimize reactor holdup. Thus steady-state reactor design favors compositions that are somewhat similar. From a dynamic viewpoint, the system can handle disturbances more easily if the concentrations of the two reactants are very different (very small zA and large zs). We saw an indication of this in the ternary process considered earlier. Control structure CS2 worked when the concentration of the limiting reactant wras very low, but failed when the concentration of the limiting reactant was in the 0.15 mole fraction region.

Calculated sensitivities are shown as a function of mole fraction for highly sensitive monomer N in Figure 3. The results are in good agreement with the experimental data. It must be noted that sensitivity saturation occurs in the high mole fraction region of N, as clearly demonstrated above. 

Several papers have been published to explain the sensitivity saturation shown in the high mole fraction region of N. In those reports, the saturation is interpreted by the steric hindrance effect ( 8 ) or the recombination effect K)). Assumption (II) made in this paper means that these two effects are neglected. However, the calculated results explain the experimental data on sensitivities well. Therefore, the contribution of these effects seems to be small.

Shashidhar et al. [75] studied the influence of pressure on the SmA- (re-entrant) nematic and N-I phase boundaries of mixtures of 4-n-hexyloxy- and 4- -octyloxy-4 -cyanobiphenyl. The maximum pressure where the SmA and re-entrant nematic phase, respectively, still exist, decreases with increasing mole fraction, x, of the hex-yloxy homolog till at x 0.30 the SmA phase disappears. Just in this mole fraction region the slope of the N-I transition... 

This relation is known as the Rayleigh equation (this type of relation between the composition of the two fractions, regions, etc., will be encountered later in other separation processes). The right-hand side of this equation may be integrated if the relation between x, and xg is known. 

Among the various species, from mice to humans, the respiratory tracts vary greatly in their size, especially in the dimensions of airways that serve to conduct gas and particles between the nares and the alveoli. As will be discussed later, these differences do have a profound influence on the fractional regional deposition of inhaled particles of varied size. These biological differences in respiratory tract dimension may also be a factor in the marked species differences in the long-term pulmonary retention of particles observed among mice, rats, dogs, and humans.
