Steady-state 412 INDEX

The Separation Stage. A fundamental quantity, a, exists in all stochastic separation processes, and is an index of the steady-state separation that can be attained in an element of the process equipment. The numerical value of a is developed for each process under consideration in the subsequent sections. The separation stage, which in a continuous separation process is called the transfer unit or equivalent theoretical plate, may be considered as a device separating a feed stream, or streams, into two product streams, often called heads and tails, or product and waste, such that the concentrations of the components in the two effluent streams are related by the quantity, d. For the case of the separation of a binary mixture this relationship is... 

Figure 4.27 presents steady-state potentiostatic r vs 0Na results during NO reduction by H2 on Pt/p"-Al203f2 PInb values well in excess of 4000 are obtained for 0Na values below 0.002. This is due to the tremendous propensity of Na to induce NO dissociation on transition metal surfaces. Since Plj is often found to be strongly dependent on 0, (Figs. 4.26 and 4.27), it is also useful to define a differential promotion index pij from ... 

At this point it is worthwhile making a couple of comments about the Information Index. One can readily see from Figures 12.3 and 12.4 that the steady state values of the Information Indices are zero for this example. This simply means that the steady state values of the state variables do not depend on the parameters. This is expected as both reactions are irreversible and hence, regardless of their rate, at steady state all of component A and B must be converted to C. 

To illustrate the usefulness of the Information Index in determining the best time interval, let us consider the grid point (l, 0.20, 35). From Figure 12.7 we deduce that the best time interval is 25 to 75 h. In Table 12.4 the standard deviation of each parameter is shown for 7 different time intervals. From cases 1 to 4 it is seen that that measurements taken before 25 h do not contribute significantly in the reduction of the uncertainty in the parameter estimates. From case 4 to 7 it is seen that it is preferable to obtain data points within [25, 75] rather than after the steady state has been reached and the Information Indices have leveled off. Measurements taken after 75 h provide information only about the steady state behavior of the system.

These difficulties are avoided in Gwyn s (1969) design (Fig. 3). Here, the attrition products are not kept inside the system but it is rather assumed that they are elutriated. In the enlarged diameter top section, gravity separation defines the limiting diameter of the elutriable particles. The attrition rate is assumed to be given by the elutriation rate. The steady-state elutriation rate can, therefore, be used as a friability index. 

Fig. 8-2. Steady-state profiles of the saturation index, omegadel = omega-1, the dissolution rate, and the respiration rate.

Figure 8-5 plots the carbonate parameters in the steady state as a function of depth between 0 and 400 centimeters. The figure shows that the saturation index, dissolution rate, and respiration rate all are very close to zero at 400 centimeters. The results for this simulation therefore do not depend on the total thickness of the sedimentary column, provided that this total thickness exceeds 400 centimeters, a limit that depends on the rate at which respiration decreases with increasing depth. 

Use sliders for Npiate, Fplate and R to determine the optimum design conditions for the column. For this the array index [i] can be chosen for the X axis to obtain steady-state axial profiles. 

Stagewise and finite-differenced models involve changes with time and distance. When the model is written in array form the variable can be plotted as a function of the array index. This is done by choosing an index variable for the Y axis and the [ ] symbol for the X axis. The last value calculated is used in the plot, which means that if the steady-state has been reached then it is a steady-state profile with distance. An example is given in the Screenshot Guide in Section 2 of the Appendix and in many other simulation examples.

The Drug Delivery Index (DDI) ahows a quantification of the reduction in the drug dose and the systemic exposure observed after drug release specificahy to the colon [37]. It may be calculated using AUC (Area l/nder the plasma drug concentration-time Curve) data or drug concentrations in blood and colonic tissues under steady-state conditions ... 

All reactions were run in a Parr stirred autoclave (Model 4561) at 1000 psi H2 and 200°C for 6h. A weighed quantity (0.5 g dry basis) of the catalyst, Ru/C or Ni/Re/C, was introduced into the reactor and reduced at 250 C and 200 psi H2 (Ru/C) or at 280°C and 500 psi H2 (Ni/Re/C) for 13 hours. After cooling, 100ml of solution (l.OM GO and O.l-l.OM KOH) was added to the closed reactor. For reactions in solvent mixtures, entries 1-4 in Table 2, the water/solvent ratio was 1/9 (v/v). When the solvent was either t-BuOH or 1,4-dioxane, 1.5 g of water was added to the solution to facilitate dissolution of KOH, because of its low solubility these solvents. Once steady state was achieved following heatup, samples were taken at 30 minute intervals for the first hour, and then hourly, and analyzed via HPLC. The HPLC column was a BIORAD Aminex HPX-87H run at 65 C with 5mM H2SO4 as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.6mFmin, using both UV (210 nm) and refractive index (RI) detection.

The application of the index-lake method presented here is only for lakes that are at hydraulic and isotopic steady states. A lake s steady-state isotopic composition is determined by the long-term averages of 8a, 8P, h, P, E, and water and air temperatures, which can vary greatly by the day and season and can vary to some degree annually. Therefore, it is only proper to apply the index-lake method to lakes of similar hydraulic residence time, during which time the averages of these controlling factors are determined. 

Reliable estimates of relative humidity are critical for use of the isotope mass-balance method however, humidity data are difficult to interpret and commonly not available for a specific study area. The index-lake method provides a means for checking the accuracy of these data and the validity of their use in isotope hydrology. The equation that describes the steady-state isotopic composition of a lake (35) is...
