In bulk

The storage of chemicals, lubricants, aviation fuel and diesel fuel is normally on the platforms, with chemicals kept in bulk storage or in drums depending on the quantities. A typical diesel storage would be adequate to run back-up power generators for around a week, but the appropriate storage for each item would need to be specified in the FDR... 

Under this programme 25% of the stiffeners and adjacent plate material in bulk carriers will be examined with thickness measurements being taken at upper, lower and mid points in both face and web plates of the stiffeners and associated end brackets. The extent of thickness measurement applied to transverse bulkheads has also been increased. In addition. Classification has revised the scantling requirements for new buildings to nominate thicker material in the bottom structure and at the transverse watertight bulkheads of the No 1 cargo holds. 

There has been much activity in the study of monolayer phases via the new optical, microscopic, and diffraction techniques described in the previous section. These experimental methods have elucidated the unit cell structure, bond orientational order and tilt in monolayer phases. Many of the condensed phases have been classified as mesophases having long-range correlational order and short-range translational order. A useful analogy between monolayer mesophases and die smectic mesophases in bulk liquid crystals aids in their characterization (see [182]).

Single-crystal surfaces are characterized by a set of Miller indices that indicate tlie particular crystallographic orientation of the surface plane relative to the bulk lattice [5]. Thus, surfaces are labelled in the same way that atomic planes are labelled in bulk x-ray crystallography. For example, a Ni (111) surface has a surface plane... 

Figure B3.2.10. Contour plot of the electron density obtained by an orbital-free Hohenberg-Kolnr teclmique [98], The figure shows a vacancy in bulk aluminium in a 256-site cell containing 255 A1 atoms and one empty site, the vacancy. Dark areas represent low electron density and light areas represent high electron density. A Kolm-Sham calculation for a cell of this size would be prohibitively expensive. Calculations on smaller cell sizes using both techniques yielded densities that were practically identical.

Cluster research is a very interdisciplinary activity. Teclmiques and concepts from several other fields have been applied to clusters, such as atomic and condensed matter physics, chemistry, materials science, surface science and even nuclear physics. Wlrile the dividing line between clusters and nanoparticles is by no means well defined, typically, nanoparticles refer to species which are passivated and made in bulk fonn. In contrast, clusters refer to unstable species which are made and studied in the gas phase. Research into the latter is discussed in the current chapter.

The ultimate reason for studying water clusters is of course to understand tire interactions in bulk water (tliough clusters are interesting in tlieir own right, too, because finite-size systems can have special properties). There has been... 

Picric acid if stored in bulk should, for safety, first be damped. Smaller quantities may be safely kept whilst dry, but should be stored in bottles having cork or rubber stoppers glass stoppers should never be used for potentially explosive substances, because on replacing the stopper some of the material may be ground between the neck of the flask and the stopper, and so caused to explode. 

In voltammetry the working electrode s surface area is significantly smaller than that used in coulometry. Consequently, very little analyte undergoes electrolysis, and the analyte s concentration in bulk solution remains essentially unchanged. 

Thus, the limiting current, is a linear function of the concentration of O in bulk solution, and a quantitative analysis is possible using any of the standardization methods discussed in Chapter 5. Equations similar to equation 11.35 can be developed for other forms of voltammetry, in which peak currents are related to the analyte s concentration in bulk solution. 

Since the concentration of R in bulk solution is zero, this equation simplifies to... 

The subscript 0 on 1 implies 0 conditions, a state of affairs characterized in Chap. 1 by the compensation of chain-excluded volume and solvent effects on coil dimensions. In the present context we are applying this result to bulk polymer with no solvent present. We shall see in Chap. 9, however, that coil dimensions in bulk polymers and in solutions under 0 conditions are the same. 

Once the radicals diffuse out of the solvent cage, reaction with monomer is the most probable reaction in bulk polymerizations, since monomers are the species most likely to be encountered. Reaction with polymer radicals or initiator molecules cannot be ruled out, but these are less important because of the lower concentration of the latter species. In the presence of solvent, reactions between the initiator radical and the solvent may effectively compete with polymer initiation. This depends very much on the specific chemicals involved. For example, carbon tetrachloride is quite reactive toward radicals because of the resonance stabilization of the solvent radical produced [1] ... 

The assumption that k values are constant over the entire duration of the reaction breaks down for termination reactions in bulk polymerizations. Here, as in Sec. 5.2, we can consider the termination process—whether by combination or disproportionation to depend on the rates at which polymer molecules can diffuse into (characterized by kj) or out of (characterized by k ) the same solvent cage and the rate at which chemical reaction between them (characterized by kj.) occurs in that cage. In Chap. 5 we saw that two limiting cases of Eq. (5.8) could be readily identified ... 

An alternative in writing this last result would be to use Pj since the density of the bound solvent is expected to be different from that in bulk. Rather than pursue this, however, we shall assume instead that Pi 5 Pi basis,... 

Furfuryl alcohol is shipped in bulk or dmms. Although not corrosive to metals, it is a powerful solvent and penetrant containers, tanks, lines, and valves need to be in good condition to avoid potential leakage. Furfuryl alcohol can be stored in containers lined with baked phenoHc resin coatings however, it should not be put in containers that are coated with lacquers, varnishes, or epoxy resins because it is an excellent solvent for many such coatings. 

Furan, a Class 3 DOT hazard, is shipped in tank cars, tank tmcks and in heavy duty dmms. The selling price of furan in bulk is Hsted at 1.60/lb.
