Gas connectivity

Examples. Find the fuel values equivalent to 5.00/ MM BTU natural gas. Connect 5.00/MM BTU on the natural gas line with the left-hand focal point. Read the following values along the connecting line, for example ... 

Odor and pollution problems are often experienced due to incomplete combustion when concentrated HjS is flared. When such considerations are expected to be critical, flare system designs should include a fuel gas connection and equipment sizing sufficient to handle an equal volume of fuel gas when flaring H2S at design rate. Where flaring of HjS is intermittent and the fuel gas diluent is continuous then steam injection at the base of the flare may be needed to reduce smoking. 

Flashback protection is required for H2S flaring systems, either by water seal or continuous gas purge. If a water seal is used, special requirements apply to the disposal of the effluent seal water. In the case of an HjS flaring system handling a flow of HjS which in uninterrupted throughout the period that a plant is in operation, and which stops only when the producing plant is shutdown, then flashback protection is not required. However, steam or inert gas connections are required to permit purging the flare line startup and shutdown. 

In response to the oil crisis in 1970s, and temporary curtailment of new gas connections, the percent of sales of electric water heaters grew to almost match gas-fired water heater sales. Since 1987, however, the percent of water heaters sales that are gas-fired has exceeded electric water heater sales by 5 to 10 percent. 

The unit shown in Figure 4-49 has been used in many process applications with a variety of modifications [18,19,20]. It is effective in liquid entrainment separation, but is not recommended for solid particles due to the arrangement of the bottom and outlet. The flat bottom plate serves as a protection to the developing liquid surface below. This prevents re-entrainment. In place of the plate a vortex breaker type using vertical cross plates of 4-inch to 12-inch depth also is used, (Also see Reference [58].) The inlet gas connection is placed above the outlet dip pipe by maintaining dimension of only a few inches at point 4. In this type unit some liquid will creep up the walls as the inlet velocity increases. 

Consider two flasks of gas connected by a small tube. Imagine also that a tap separates them, as seen by the schematic illustration in Figure 4.4. One flask contains hydrogen gas at high pressure p, for example at 2 atm. The other has such a low pressure of hydrogen that it will be called a vacuum. 

Fire-resistive insulation should be provided as passive fire protection for critical load bearing heater supports. Critical supports include those for the firebox, the convection section, any "breeching" (combustion exhaust gas connections to a... 

Consider a sudden loss of injection-to-injection reproducibility. With only a little experience, the analyst without an integrator will look to injection technique, a leak almost anywhere (syringe, septum, column fitting, external gas connection, etc.) or perhaps a contaminated column. Where one looks first depends on experience with the instrument and the analysis and... 

PROBLEM 9.3 What is the pressure (in atmospheres) in a container of gas connected to a mercury-filled, open-end manometer if the level in the arm connected to the container is 24.7 cm higher than in the arm open to the atmosphere and atmospheric pressure is 0.975 atm ... 

The Spontaneous Process activity (eChapter 17.1) shows a vessel filled with gas connected to an evacuated vessel. What happens when the stopcock is opened Is this a spontaneous process Why Is it possible to open and close the stopcock so that all of the gas returns to the original vessel Why or why not ... 

A dry 500-ml flask equipped with a septum inlet, magnetic stirrer and gas connecting tube is flushed with dry nitrogen and maintained under static... 

Where possible, gas connections should be made with metal or glass tubing. Where short flexible connections are necessary, PVC (Tygon) tubing is recommended. Most plastic materials have an appreciable permeability, a 1-m length of l-in.-ID polyvinyl chloride tubing with 13-in wall thickness will allow the diffusion of about 0.8 ppm of oxygen at a flow rate of 150 mL min-1.

The permeability of the set sealant is measured by an API-recommended permeameter, which consists of a cylindrical sealant holder that is filled with the setting slurry. Once the slurry has set, the holder is fitted on a base. The base has an opening for gas connection, which can be attached to a nitrogen gas cylinder. Gas at different pressures is applied, and the pressure difference is measured by a mercury column. Knowing the pressure difference, the cross sectional area of the holder, and its length, one calculates the permeability in millidarcies. Details of such a permeameter and the procedure may be found in the API Spec. [3]. 

At the end of an experiment, the microreactor channels were purged with N2 or He (depending on the purge gas connected to the system at the time) and additional GC injections of feed gas were taken. During a few runs, a microreactor failed through membrane rupture or the heaters becoming inactive. At this point.
