Litre

Water separated from oil usually contains small amounts of oil which have to be removed before the water can be released to the environment. Specifications are getting tighter but standards ranging from 10-100 ppm (parts per million) oil in wafer before disposal are currently common. In most areas 40 ppm of oil in water is the legal requirement, i.e. 40 mg / litre. 

The experimental activity has been carried out on a cylindrical vessel whose capacity is 50 litres and made from steel 3 mm. thick. 

The experimental activity was carried out on a cylindrical pressure vessel whose capacity is 50 litres and made from steel 3 mm thick. Fig. 2 shows the layout of the pressure vessel considered. The pressure vessel was connected to an oil hydraulics apparatus providing a cyclical pressure change of arbitrary amplitude and frequency (fig.3). Furthermore the vessel was equipped with a pressure transducer and some rosetta strain gauges to measure the stresses on the shell and heads. A layout of the rosetta strain gauges locations is shown in fig.4. 

The methodology and the pigging tool have proven to be capable of identifying very small leaks. In oil pipelines like the Danish carrying 1500 m /h leakages down to 1 litre per hour can be detected without injection of large quantities of tracer. Leakages can be positioned with an accuracy of less than 1 metre. 

It suffices to carry out one such experiment, such as the expansion or compression of a gas, to establish that there are states inaccessible by adiabatic reversible paths, indeed even by any adiabatic irreversible path. For example, if one takes one mole of N2 gas in a volume of 24 litres at a pressure of 1.00 atm (i.e. at 25 °C), there is no combination of adiabatic reversible paths that can bring the system to a final state with the same volume and a different temperature. A higher temperature (on the ideal-gas scale Oj ) can be reached by an adiabatic irreversible path, e.g. by doing electrical work on the system, but a state with the same volume and a lower temperature Oj is inaccessible by any adiabatic path. 

Apart from tliese mainstream metliods enabling one to gain a comprehensive and detailed stmctural picture of proteins, which may or may not be in tlieir native state, tliere is a wide variety of otlier metliods capable of yielding detailed infonnation on one particular stmctural aspect, or comprehensive but lower resolution infonnation while keeping tlie protein in its native environment. One of tlie earliest of such metliods, which has recently undergone a notable renaissance, is analytical ultracentrifugation [24], which can yield infonnation on molecular mass and hence subunit composition and their association/dissociation equilibria (via sedimentation equilibrium experiments), and on molecular shape (via sedimentation velocity experiments), albeit only at solution concentrations of at least a few tentlis of a gram per litre. 

However, in dilute solution [H O] is virtually conslant ([H,0] = 55.5 since 1 litre of water contains 1000/18 mol of H O) and taking this into the above expression for the equilibrium constant we obtain a second constant... 

The correct treatment of boundaries and boundary effects is crucial to simulation methods because it enables macroscopic properties to be calculated from simulations using relatively small numbers of particles. The importance of boundary effects can be illustrated by considering the following simple example. Suppose we have a cube of volume 1 litre which is filled with water at room temperature. The cube contains approximately 3.3 X 10 molecules. Interactions with the walls can extend up to 10 molecular diameters into the fluid. The diameter of the water molecule is approximately 2.8 A and so the number of water molecules that are interacting with the boundary is about 2 x 10. So only about one in 1.5 million water molecules is influenced by interactions with the walls of the container. The number of particles in a Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics simulation is far fewer than 10 -10 and is frequently less than 1000. In a system of 1000 water molecules most, if not all of them, would be within the influence of the walls of the boundary. Clecirly, a simulation of 1000 water molecules in a vessel would not be an appropriate way to derive bulk properties. The alternative is to dispense with the container altogether. Now, approximately three-quarters of the molecules would be at the surface of the sample rather than being in the bulk. Such a situation would be relevcUit to studies of liquid drops, but not to studies of bulk phenomena. 

A i-litre measuring cylinder may be used in place of the cylinder E, but when the bung F is in position, any gap at the lip of the cylinder must be tightly plugged with cotton wool. 

The preparation of absolute ethanol in moderate quantity for classes may be carried out as follows. Pour 3 Winchester bottles (i.e., 7-8 litres) of rectified spirit into a 3-gallon (14-15 litre) can C (Fig. 58), add about 600 g. of the... 

For this reduction use preferably a i litre round-bottomed flask having 3 necks (Fig. 23(G), p. 46), the two necks at the flanks being straight (to avoid the obstruction, during the addition of sodium, which a curved neck might cause). Fit the central neck with a stirrer, one of the side necks with a reflux water-condenser, and the other with a glass or rubber stopper. 

The reaction is carried out in a 2-litre long-necked round-bottomed flask, to which is fitted an efficient reflux water-condenser, capable of condensing a sudden rush of vapour without choking. For this purpose, a long bulb-condenser, similar to that shown in Fig. 3(A) (p. 9) is best, but the inner tube must be of wide bore (at least 12 mm.). Alternatively, an air-condenser of wide bore may be used, an.d a short double-surface water-condenser fitted to its top. A steam-distillation fitting for the flask should also be prepared in advance, so that the crude product can subsequently be steam-distilled directly from the flask. The glj cerol used in the preparation must be anhydrous, and should therefore be dehydrated by the method described on p. 113. 

When the reaction has subsided, boil the reaction-mixture under reflux for 2 hours then make it alkaline with sodium hydroxide solution, and distil it in steam until oily drops no longer come over in the aqueous distillate (1 2 litres). Extract the distillate thoroughly with ether ca. 150 ml.), and dry the ethereal extract over powdered sodium hydroxide. Filter the dry extract through a fluted filter-paper moistened with ether into a 200 ml. flask. Fit the flask with a distillation-head, or a knee-tube , and distil off the ether. Now replace the distillation-head by a reflux water-condenser, add 10 ml. of acetic anhydride, and boil the mixture under reflux for 10 15 minutes.
