International Dimension

A final point that also needs to be presented is related to quality assurance, i.e. the requirement to satisfy regulatory frameworks concerned with safety and environmental issues. Traditionally, only national regulatory bodies had to be satisfied. Now, however, international regulatory bodies have to be satisfied while national regulatory bodies must, in many cases, accept the regulations of other nations. In this context, quality assurance of a plant or a process may often require a demonstrable pedigree for each number in the calculation of some aspect of the plant.

It should be emphasised again that these expressions are only valid when the separation of the two molecules, r, is much larger than the internal dimensions of the molecules. The favourable arrangements for the various multipoles are shown in Figure 4.18.

The micro reactor was made in three versions, termed a-c, differing in internal dimensions [3]. 

Micro-flow processing is not an exclusive domain of micro-channel devices made by micro fabrication. This approach can be applied to any packing of regular-shaped objects which results in interstices of the same internal dimensions and the same precision as given for micro channels. Obviously, interstices made from extended, but thin objects resemble best the nature of micro channels. Hence the use of filaments for constituting a micro-flow assembly was recently described [8]. 

This is explained by a possible higher activity of pure rhodium than supported metal catalysts. However, two other reasons are also taken into account to explain the superior performance of the micro reactor boundary-layer mass transfer limitations, which exist for the laboratory-scale monoliths with larger internal dimensions, are less significant for the micro reactor with order-of-magnitude smaller dimensions, and the use of the thermally highly conductive rhodium as construction material facilitates heat transfer from the oxidation to the reforming zone. 

The studies referred mainly to determining conversion, exhibiting arelationship between pressure drop and internal dimensions, and analyzing collisions func-tionsfromkinetictheoryunderdifferent lowregimes(slipflow Knudsen)[127]. 

This class is the simplest of all micro reactors and certainly the most convenient one to purchase, but not necessarily one with compromises or reduced fimction. HPLC or other tubing of small internal dimensions is used for performing reactions. There are many proofs in the literature for process intensification by this simple concept. As a micro mixer is missing, mixing either has to be carried out externally by conventional mini-equipment or may not be needed at all. The latter holds for reactions with one reactant only or with a pre-mixed reactant solution, which does not react before entering the tube. 

Liquid transport is achieved by hydrostatic action, pumping or electroosmotic flow (EOF). So far, chip reactors have been employed at low to very low flow rates, e.g. from 1 ml min to 1 pi min. Applications consequently were restricted to the laboratory-scale or even solely to analytics. However, this is not intrinsic. By choosing larger internal dimensions, similar throughputs as for the other classes of liquid or liquid/liquid micro reactors are in principle achievable. 

OS 1] [R 20] [P 1] A comparison of the selectivity/conversion behavior of an interdigital micro mixer-tube reactor with that of a mixing tee of about 1.5 mm inner diameter (and thus of larger internal dimensions) was made (Figure 4.39). For all data gathered, the performance of the micro mixer was much better, e.g. about 30% more selectivity at a given conversion [46]. 

Solid board materials may be converted into collapsible or rigid cartons or rigid fiberboard (outers). International codes exist for solid and corrugated fi-berboards in terms of design (style). These cases are specified by style, internal dimensions, board grade, and quality.

Let us now suppose that all n atoms move simultaneously by the same amount in the x direction. This will displace the center of mass of the entire molecule in the x direction without causing any alteration of the internal dimensions of the molecule. Thesame may of course be said of similar motions in the y and z directions. Thus, of the 3n degrees of freedom of the molecule, three are not genuine vibrations but only translations. Similarly, concerted motions of all atoms in circular paths about the jt, y, and z axes do not constitute vibrations either but are instead, molecular rotations. Thus, of the 3/i degrees of motional freedom, only 3n — 6 remain to be combined into genuine vibratory motions.
