In 1981 3 applications of captan were used, 2 by ground, and 1 by air. Comparison of ground applications (Figure 3) showed off-target downwind deposits with detectable levels found at 300 m (4.28 pg SG-radian) in absence of an inversion, and (12.95 pg NG-radian) at 50 m in presence of an inversion. Air application (Figure 3) during an inversion showed no detectable levels beyond 150 m. 

For the production of these candies, a sucrose solution is mixed with starch syrup and boiled down to the desired water content either batch-wise or continuously (Fig. 19.10). Generally used are vacuum pans (120—160°C) and film boiling machines in which evaporation ttikes place in a rotating cylinder (110°C 142 °C, 5 s). Volatile labile components (aroma substances) are added after cooling. This apphes to acids as well in order to prevent inversion. Air is incorporated into the mass, if necessary. Subsequently, the mass is formed into a cord and processed into bonbons with the help of stamping or casting machines that require a shghtly thinner mass. Modem plants have a capacity of 0.6-1.5t/h. 

Velocity of propagation is the speed of transmission in a cable as compared to the speed of transmission in air and is therefore expressed as a percentage. Since the velocity of propagation is inversely proportional to the square root of the dielectric constant of the core, a lower dielectric constant results in higher transmission speed (3). 

The permeability factor, K, has units of velocity and is inversely proportional to the viscosity of the gas. A permeabihty test is mn by passing air... 

Because mass flow bins have stable flow patterns that mimic the shape of the bin, permeabihty values can be used to calculate critical, steady-state discharge rates from mass flow hoppers. Permeabihty values can also be used to calculate the time required for fine powders to settle in bins and silos. In general, permeabihty is affected by particle size and shape, ie, permeabihty decreases as particle size decreases and the better the fit between individual particles, the lower the permeabihty moisture content, ie, as moisture content increases, many materials tend to agglomerate which increases permeabihty and temperature, ie, because the permeabihty factor, K, is inversely proportional to the viscosity of the air or gas in the void spaces, heating causes the gas to become more viscous, making the sohd less permeable. 

Most studies indicate that air velocity has a profound influence on mean droplet size in twin-fluid atomizers. Generally, the droplet size is inversely proportional to the atomizing air velocity. However, the relative velocity between the Hquid and air stream is more important than the absolute air velocity. 

Droplet size, particularly at high velocities, is controlled primarily by the relative velocity between liquid and air and in part by fuel viscosity and density (7). Surface tension has a minor effect. Minimum droplet size is achieved when the nozzle is designed to provide maximum physical contact between air and fuel. Hence primary air is introduced within the nozzle to provide both swid and shearing forces. Vaporization time is characteristically related to the square of droplet diameter and is inversely proportional to pressure drop across the atomizer (7). 

If the substitute fuel is of the same general type, eg, propane for methane, the problem reduces to control of the primary equivalence ratio. For nonaspiring burners, ie, those in which the air and fuel suppHes are essentially independent, it is further reduced to control of the fuel dow, since the air dow usually constitutes most of the mass dow and this is fixed. For a given fuel supply pressure and fixed dow resistance of the feed system, the volume dow rate of the fuel is inversely proportional to. ypJ. The same total heat input rate or enthalpy dow to the dame simply requires satisfactory reproduction of the product of the lower heating value of the fuel and its dow rate, so that WI = l- / remains the same. WI is the Wobbe Index of the fuel gas, and... 

When the temperature of air or gas varies, horsepower and pressure vaiy inversely as the absolute temperature, speed and capacity being constant. See Fig. 10-72. 

Flooding and Loading Since flooding or phase inversion normally represents the maximum capacity condition for a packed column, it is desirable to predict its value for new designs. The first generalized correlation of packed-column flood points was developed by Sherwood, Shipley, and Holloway [Ind. Eng. Chem., 30, 768 (1938)] on the basis of laboratory measurements primarily on the air-water system. 

From the viewpoint of air pollution, both stable surface layers and low-level inversions are undesirable because they minimize the rate of dilution of contaminants in the atmosphere. Even though the surface layer may be unstable, a low-level inversion will act as abarrier to vertical mixing, and contaminants will accumulate in the surface layer below the inversion. Stable atmospheric conditions tend to be more frequent and longest in persistence in the autumn, but inversions and stable lapse rates are prevalent at all seasons of the year. 

If the temperature structure, instead of being that of Fig. 17-6, differs primarily in the lower layers, it resembles Fig. 17-7, where a temperature inversion (an increase rather than a decrease of temperature with height) exists. In the forced ascent of the air parcel up the slope, dry adiabatic cooling produces parcel temperatures that are everywhere cooler than the environment acceration is downward, resisting displacement and the atmosphere is stable.
