Local hydrogen concentration

Fig. 33. Predicted evolution of the local hydrogen concentration in the vicinity of the welding line. Initial, homogeneous hydgrogen concentration 0.5 ppm.

Where localized corrosion occurs, the rate of hydrogen production grows with increase in heat flux, and the dissolved hydrogen concentration rises with increase in steam flow. 

The gamma ray yield is proportional to the local hydrogen content, which can therefore be determined. The hydrogen concentration is given by... 

It is not overly difficult to include the effects of interconversion of hydrogen among its charge states if these are equilibrated with the local carrier concentrations and if we continue to neglect complex formation and assume that the spatial scale of the diffusion-migration phenomena is large... 

The TLV-TWA for hydrogen sulfide gas is 10 ppm. Hydrogen sulfide gas is stored in a tank at 100 psig and 80°F. Estimate the diameter of a hole in the tank leading to a local hydrogen sulfide concentration equal to the TLV. The local ventilation rate is 2000 ft3/min and is deemed average. The ambient pressure is 1 atm. 

The effect of additives betrays the intricacy of the balance of rate effects even more. The addition of cholesterol to catalytic bilayers has been found to be beneficial for the Kemp eleminiation but to inhibit the decarboxylation of 6-NBIC. In general, the effects of additives on the decarboxylation of 6-NBIC appear to subtly depend on the structure of the hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic headgroup of additives. Similarly subtle effects were found for the Kemp elimination and nucleophilic attack by Br and water on aromatic alkylsulfonates depending on the choice of additive, hydrogen bonding effects, reactivity of partially dehydrated OH , and local water concentrations all played a role and vesicular catalysis could be increased or decreased. 

Metal/hydrogen systems have been treated successfully by the assumption that, at low hydrogen concentrations, deviations from Sieverts Law result from an elastic interaction energy among the absorbed hydrogen atoms. The interaction is attractive in nature since including a hydrogen atom into an interstitial site results in a local expansion of the metal lattice. It is well known that lattice dilation exerts an attractive interaction with interstitial solute atoms. Under this... 

Despite the complex interaction between the components of a catalyst recipe, for example consisting of catalyst, co-catalyst, electron donors (internal and external), monomers, chain-transfer agents such as hydrogen, and inert gases and the catalyst support, the local polymer production rate rate (polymerization rate) in a given volume, Rp (kg polymer hr"1), can often be described by a first-order kinetic equation with respect to the local monomer concentration near the active site, cm (kgm"3), and is first order to the mass of active sites ( catalyst ) in that volume, m (kg) ...
