Intermediate pressure ratios

HEM for Two-Phase Pipe Discharge With a pipe present, the backpressure experienced by the orifice is no longer qg, but rather an intermediate pressure ratio qi. Thus qi replaces T o iri ihe orifice solution for mass flux G. ri Eq. (26-95). Correspondingly, the momentum balance is integrated between qi and T o lo give the pipe flow solution for G,p. The solutions for orifice and pipe now must be solved simultaneously to make G. ri = G,p and to find qi and T o- This can be done explicitly for the simple case of incompressible single-phase (hquid) inclined or horizontal pipe flow The solution is implicit for compressible regimes. 

In a later, but less detailed analysis of flow in the intermediate pressure range, Hiby and Pahl [37] suggested that the minimum should be absent when the length/diameter ratio of a capillary is less than about sixteen. Since it is likely that this is the case for the channels in most porous media of... 

Pressures Turboexpanders ean be designed to operate at up to 3,000 psi and higher inlet pressures as required by eonditions. Expansion pressure ratios ean also be adjusted for eaeh proeess over a wide range. A majority of effieient expansion ratios are below 5 1, although pressure ratios up to 10 1 ean be aeeommodated with reasonable effieieney. Smaller, lower pressure units are popular for air separation and helium liquefaetion. Intermediate pressure (100-1,000 psi) and high pressure expanders (1,000-3,000 psi) are widely used in natural gas proeessing and industrial gas liquefaetion. 

Thus the intermediate pressures should be arranged so that the compression ratio is the same in each cylinder and equal work is then done in each cylinder. 

Much detailed characterization of the kinetics of NO reduction in atmospheric environments, that is, at pressures up to 240mbar, has also been performed by Goodman and co-workers on palladium single crystals [65]. They have determined by using in-situ infrared spectroscopy that, under reaction temperatures below 500 K and pressure ratios Pco/Pno > 1.5, the conversion of NO + CO mixtures on Pd(lll) is accompanied by the formation of an isocyanate (—NCO) intermediate (Figure 3.7) [66]. The formation of... 

This is called the membrane-selectivity-limited region, in which the membrane performance is determined only by the membrane selectivity and is independent of the pressure ratio. There is, of course, an intermediate region between these two limiting cases, in which both the pressure ratio and the membrane selectivity affect the membrane system performance. These three regions are illustrated in Figure 8.13, in which the calculated permeate concentration ( , ) is plotted versus pressure ratio pressure ratio of 1, feed pressure equal to the permeate pressure, no separation is achieved by the membrane. As the difference between the feed and permeate pressure increases,... 

The ideal intermediate pressures are obtained when the compression ratios in each stage are equal. If the initial, intermediate, and final pressures from this compressor are Pi, P2, P3, P4, and P5, then ... 

Figure 5 also shows the Peclet number based on the flame standoff distance, Pe = Xgfh, which can be interpreted as the ratio of the bulk convective velocity to diffusion velocity Pe = ul DIXg) = ul ag IXg)). In the intermediate pressure... 

We may expect the behaviour at intermediate values of valve pressure ratio to be approximated reasonably well by a linear combination of the two functions, with the weighting of each dependent on the distance of the valve pressure ratio from the ends of the range. Hence we postulate that the throat pressure ratio may... 

A4.3) reducing to the choked gas equation (9.2). But while the FUGSE will be valid at either end of the range of pressure ratios, the fact that the sine function joins the extremes in a conveniently smooth manner does not guarantee that the formula will be accurate at intermediate values. This appendix examines how closely the FUGSE matches direct data and the nozzle-based method for calculating control valve gas flow. 

In this work, we present results obtained during hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde over Pt/Ti02 catalysts reduced at low temperature (200°C) for which we already found a good selectivity [12]. Attention was focussed on the influence of the PH2/Pcrotonaldehyde partial pressure ratios. Additional studies with the mono-dihydrogenated intermediate reaction products (crotyl alcohol and butyraldehyde) were also performed. 

The zone of maximum active decarbonatization is situated below the zone of maximum active carbonatization, or, in other words, the carbonates dissolved are transferred upwards by aqueous solutions in the form of a carbonate flux . The diagenesis of clay minerals in intercalated argillaceous beds may obviously change the chemical nature of the interstitial waters by modifying ionic ratios, alkalinity and pH so that the carbonates start to become precipitated. One could alternatively suggest that the formation waters migrating upwards from zones of higher pressure into zones of hydrostatic pressure can precipitate carbonates in intermediate pressure zones.
