General Handbooks

Liquid-Liquid Extraction The actual configuration of mixers in multistage mixer-settlers and/or multistage columns is summarized in Section 15. A general handbook on this subject is Handbook of Solvent Extraction by Lowe, Beard, and Hanson. This handbook gives a comprehensive review of this entire operation as well.

This is a general handbook covering all aspects of plastics technology. Chapter 7 — Cellular (Foamed) Plastics covers 16 pages and is useful, although not up to date. This handbook is undergoing revision. 

This book can be used as a general handbook for applying electrical engineering to the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. The contents have been developed from a series of lectures on electrical power systems, given to oil company staff and university students, in various countries. The author has condensed many years of his knowledge and practical experience into the book. 

Perry, R. H., and D. W. Green (Eds.), Perry s Chemical Engineers Handbook, 8 ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 2008. General handbook that has extensive coverage on separations, but coverage often assumes reader has some prior knowledge of technique.

Using Eqs. VI-30-VI-32 and data from the General References or handbooks, plot the retarded Hamaker constant for quartz interacting through water and through n-decane. Comment on the relative importance of the zero frequency contribution and that from the vuv peak. 

The general procedure in a QSPR approach consists of three steps structure representation descriptor analysis and model building (see also Chapter X, Section 1.2 of the Handbook). 

Although multiplying affixes may be omitted for very common compounds when no ambiguity is caused thereby, such affixes are generally included throughout this handbook in alphabetical listings. An example would be ethyl ether for diethyl ether. 

P. H. Howard, ed.. Handbook of Environmental Fate andExposure Datafor Organic Chemicals, Vol. Ill, Pesticides, Lewis PubHshers, Chelsea, Mich., 1991. Provides chemical and physical properties of 70 pesticide active ingredients reviews data on environmental fate and exposure potential, with general references. 

The flow resistance of pipe fittings (elbows, tees, etc) and valves is expressed in terms of either an equivalent length of straight pipe or velocity head loss (head loss = Kv /2g ). Most handbooks and manufacturers pubHcations dealing with fluid flow incorporate either tables of equivalent lengths for fittings and valves or K values for velocity head loss. Inasmuch as the velocity in the equipment is generally much lower than in the pipe, a pressure loss equal to at least one velocity head occurs when the fluid is accelerated to the pipe velocity. 

Pyrotechnics is based on the estabflshed principles of thermochemistry and the more general science of thermodynamics. There has been Httle work done on the kinetics of pyrotechnic reactions, largely due to the numerous chemical and nonchemical factors that affect the bum rate of a pyrotechnic mixture. Information on the fundamentals of pyrotechnics have been pubflshed in Russian (1) and English (2—6). Thermochemical data that ate useful in determining the energy outputs anticipated from pyrotechnic mixtures are contained in general chemical handbooks and more specialized pubHcations (7-9).

This table of the physical properties includes the organic compounds of most general interest. For the properties of other organic compounds, reference must he made to larger tables in Langes Handbook of Chemistiy (Handbook Publishers), Handbook of Chemistiy and Physics (Chemical Rubber Publishing Co.), Van Nostrand s Chemical Annual, International Ciitical Tables (McGraw-Hill), and similar works.

No material in SI units appears in the 1993 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals (SI ed.). Tables and a chart to 50 ata, 200 C are given by Mathias, H. and H. J. Loffler, Techn. Univ. Berhn rept., 1966 (42 pp.). A chart to 1500 psia, 500 F was given by Mears, W. H., E. Rosenthal, et al.,y, Chem. Eng. Data, 11, 3 (1966) 338-. l43. 

Whenever measured values of diffusivities are available, they should be used. Typically, measurement errors are less than those associated with predictions by empirical or even semitheoretical equations. A few general sources of data are Sec. 2 of this handbook, Schwartzberg and Chao Reid et al. Gammon et al. and Daubert and Danner. Many other more restricted sources are hsted under specific topics later in this subsection. 

U-shaped clevis to which a vaned tailpiece is attac-hed. The wheel rotates because of the difference in drag for the two sides of the cup, and a signal proportional to the revolutions of the wheel is generated. The velocity is determined from the count over a period or time. The current meter is generally usebil in the range of 0.15 to 4.5 m/s (about 0.5 to 15 ft/s) with an accuracy of 2 percent.
