Length, volume

In this section we will look at four familiar quantities that you will almost certainly measure in the laboratory length, volume, mass, and temperature. Other quantities will be introduced in later chapters as they are needed.

The volume of the injection loops amounted to 20 pi the catalyst stream was set to 50 pi min In an electrothermal pre-heat zone the ethylene/comonomer mixture in toluene was brought close to reaction temperature before adding catalyst. The reaction was carried out at 175 °C and a pressure of 2.8 MPa. In several subsequent zones each of 16 cm length (volume 200 pi) along the reactor tubing, temperature was monitored by voltage pads. 

Scientists measure many different quantities—length, volume, mass (weight), electric current, temperature, pressure, force, magnetic field intensity, radioactivity, and many others. The metric system and its recent extension, Systeme International d Unites (SI), were devised to make measurements and calculations as simple as possible. In this chapter, length, area, volume, and mass will be introduced. Temperature will be introduced in Sec. 2.7 and used extensively in Chap. 11. The quantities to be discussed here are presented in Table 2-1. Their units, abbreviations of the quantities and units, and the legal standards for the quantities are also included.

While more manual intervention is required, a less costly version of the ATS 4 exists and is called the Linomat application system which has the following limitations Band length, volume applied, number of bands, etc. must all be programmed manually, the syringe must be manually rinsed numerous times before applying a second sample, and it operates at a slower speed than the ATS 4. A photo of the Linomat system is shown in Fig. 13.10. 

Most of the problems in this book use the English measures of length, volume, and weight. But metric measures are very important to know, because of the great incidence of foreign travel and trade with other countries that use metrics. 

The metric system, or Systeme International d Unites (SI system as it is commonly known), is the predominant system of measurement in the world. In fact, the United States is one of only about three countries that do not commonly use the metric system. The metric system attempts to eliminate odd and often difircult-to-remember conversions for measurements (5,280 feet in a mile, for example). It is a decimal-based system with standard terminology for measurements of length, volume, and mass (weight). It also uses standard prefixes to measure multiples of the standard units.

Most chemists will agree that the majority of chemical measurements are, or could be, expressed as amount-of-substance measurements. When appropriate, they will in this paper be so described. However, whereas mass or length (volume) measurements at the smallest attainable uncertainty do not generally require a detailed understanding of the material whose property is quantified, amount-of-substance measurements require reference to the exact composition of the measured entity, to interfering impurities, and to the material - by composition, mass, or volume - within which that entity is measured. 

Partial quantities are related to some part of the system they have their opposite in integral quantities, whose value relates to the system as a whole(like length, volume, mass, voltage,...). As an example having a mixture of two components, like sand and seeds -the mass of the mixture of both is an integral (and extensive) quantity, the masses of the individual components are partial in nature (extensive, too). Only integral extensive quantities are those that can be measured directly, partial or intensive ones are calculated from the results of other measurements. 

In practice, many of the conditions of measurement in practical chemical measurement are specified in terms of physical measurements. So, too, are many of the inputs to a given calculation. Though the establishment of traceability in these fields has been far from trivial, it is now essentially a routine matter for laboratories to obtain suitable calibrated equipment for measuring quantities such as length, volume, mass, temperature and time. The problem for most laboratories is related to their chemical reference values for amount of substance measurements. 

The following examples illustrate conversions among various units of length, volume, or mass ... 

There are seven fundamental quantities that are typically used to describe chemical processes, mass, length, volume, force, pressure, energy and power, although some of these can be described in terms... 

The measures of length, volume, mass, energy, and temperature are used to evaluate our physical and chemical environment. Table 2.2 compares the metric system with the more recently accepted SI system (International System of Units). The laboratory equipment associated with obtaining these measures is also listed. 

The application of the lattice model to various systems requires a procedure to determine the lattice size and the chain bending energy, hence the number of segments and the chain stiffness in the lattice. Based on the equivalence between the contour length, volume, and gyration radius of a real polymer chain and that in the lattice model, the following equations were suggested 22... 

Most of the measurements discussed in this chapter deal with physical properties, such as length, volume, or weight. Measurement of these properties can be made directly. Temperature is different because it is an energy property, and energy cannot be measured directly. However, we can quantify the effect that one body s energy (in this case heat) has on the physical properties of another body, and we can measure that physical effect.

The reaction described by the data i Tables 2-1 and 2-2 is to be carried out in a PFR. The entering molar flow rate is 5 mol/s. Calculate the reactor volume necessary to achieve 80% conversiou in a PFR. (a) First, use one of the integration formulas given in Appendix A.4 to determine the PFR reactor volume, (b) Next, shade the area in Figtae 2-1 which when multiplied by would give the PFR volume, (c) Make a qualitative sketch of the conversion, X, and the rate of reaction, down the length (volume) of the reactor. 

Similarly, if the volume and length are important, one may consider the length-volume mean diameter shown in Equations (42)-(44) ... 

A summary of these different types of averages can be found in Table 3. Example 5. Using the particle count data given in Example 4 and Table 2, compute the statistical mean diameters for the number-length, number-surface, number-volume, length-surface, length-volume, surface-volume, volume-moment and weight-moment mean diameters.
