Gallon , conversion

Pounds are converted to gallons of oil using a 7.7 pounds-to-gallon conversion rate. 

Unle.ss specified all conversions made earlier relate to Imperial gallons only.

In a typical example (33) a fresh feed of 8% polybutadiene rubber in styrene is added with antioxidant, mineral oil, and recycled monomer to the first reactor at 145 lbs./hr. The reactor is a 100-gallon kettle at approximately 50% tillage with the anchor rotating at 65 rpm. The contents are held at 124°C and about 18% conversion. Cooling is effected via the sensible heat of the feed stream and heat transfer to the reactor jacket. In this reactor the rubber phase particles are formed, their average size determined and much of their morphology established. Particle size is controlled to a large measure by the anchor rpm. 

For fuel oil and natural gas, there are conversion factors that enable to move from energy use to C02 emissions. In the case of fuel oil, the factor is 22.38 lb of C02 per gallon. 

Hybrid conversions have not been common, since they are twice as complex as electric conversions. But in 1979, Dave Arthurs of Springdale, Arkansas, spent 1,500 converting an Opel GT into a hybrid that got 75 miles-per-gallon, using a 6-horsepower lawn mower engine, a 400-amp electric motor and a bank of 6-volt batteries. Dave Arthurs continued building hybrids into the 1990s. One of these conversions was a 99 miles-... 

For the conversion of gallons to litres it has been assumed that in Colombia the United States gallon is used, with 3.785 litres to the gallon, and in Myanmar the imperial gallon, with 4.546 litres to the gallon. 

The particular wood species we chose for this study is aspen (Populus tremuloides), which is plentiful in Canada and in the northern U.S.A. The chemical composition we found to be glucan 53.4%, xylan 14.9%, total carbohydrate 79.0%, lignin 17.1% and extractives 3.8%. We would expect total fermentable sugars of about 56% in this sample of aspen in anhydro form (Timell has reported about 60% in another sample (15)) which upon hydrolysis would yield about 1,250 lb wood sugars per ton of wood (dry basis), from the stoichiometry. Theoretical conversion of this sugar to ethanol would yield 640 lb or 81.1 gallons of anhydrous... 

L. You must determine the correct pathway to get from gallons to liters using the conversions provided in Table 2-3. To do so, convert from gallons to cups, then to milliliters, and finally to liters ... 

The space velocity is generally chosen to give conversions of 85 to 95% of the olefins charged. Higher conversions are possible, but uneconomical, as more catalyst is required and catalyst life is reduced. Space velocities, based on total feed, may range from about 0.3 to 0.5 gallon per hour per pound of catalyst or 4.5 to 7.0 cubic feet per hour per pound of catalyst, depending on olefin content of feed and other process variables. 

The polymerization of light olefins using copper pyrophosphate is licensed by The M. W. Kellogg Co. under patents of the Polymerization Process Corp. The process is essentially the same as the U.O.P. process but instead uses a copper pyrophosphate catalyst (18). The first plant was built in 1939 (22) and several more have been put into operation since that time. A correlation of operating variables for this process was published in 1949 (21) it shows how conversion is influenced by catalyst activity, temperature, ratio of propene plus n-butene to isobutene, and the space velocity of olefins and of total feed when operating at 900 pounds per square inch gage pressure. A catalyst life of 100 to 150 gallons of polymer per pound of catalyst is claimed (15). 

The first practical conversion units came with the advent of the steamship and its requirement of fresh water for boilers. Today, most of the large ocean-going vessels have their battery of evaporators. The Forrestal class carriers of the United States Navy, for example, carry four 50,000-gallon-per-day evaporators to supply the water needs of those huge ships and their large crews. 

The law provides that three of these plants shall be for the conversion of sea water to fresh water—one each to be located on the East Coast, the West Coast, and the Gulf Coast. At least two of these plants shall have a capacity of 1,000,000 gallons of fresh water per day. Two of the plants will be designed to convert brackish water to fresh...
