The comparison is plotted in Figure 4 for 60° inclined boreholes (BH 147, 148, 154, 155, 178 and 179). The noticeable spread of the results may be attributed to the local rock mass heterogeneities, such as fractures. With the exception of the very early time, simulated displacements are within the range of the measured ones. The best agreement is obtained for Anchors 2 and 3, whereas the... 

Figure 1. Molecular mass heterogeneity of MUPs from wild and inbred mice. The molecular mass of MUPs from six wild mice, taken from two separate populations (M and HH), and from two inbred strains (BALB/c and C57BL/6) was determined by ESI/MS. In each spectrum, MUPs with a particular mass are represented by a bold vertical line. The percentage abundance (y axis) is a measure of the amount of MUP at a given mass, relative to the most abundant peak in the spectrum.

Oleoresin. Natural oleoresins are exudates from plants, whereas prepared oleoresins are solvent extracts of botanicals, which contain oil (both volatile and, sometimes, fixed), and the resinous matter of the plant. Natural oleoresins are usually clear, viscous, and light-colored Hquids, whereas prepared oleoresins are heterogeneous masses of dark color. 

Reaction rates typically are strongly affected by temperature (76,77), usually according to the Arrhenius exponential relationship. However, side reactions, catalytic or equiHbrium effects, mass-transfer limitations in heterogeneous (multiphase) reactions, and formation of intermediates may produce unusual behavior (76,77). Proposed or existing reactions should be examined carefully for possible intermediate or side reactions, and the kinetics of these side reactions also should be observed and understood. 

Emulsion Polymerization. Emulsion and suspension reactions are doubly heterogeneous the polymer is insoluble in the monomer and both are insoluble in water. Suspension reactions are similar in behavior to slurry reactors. Oil-soluble initiators are used, so the monomer—polymer droplet is like a small mass reaction. Emulsion polymerizations are more complex. Because the monomer is insoluble in the polymer particle, the simple Smith-Ewart theory does not apply (34). 

Consider a closed PVT system, either homogeneous or heterogeneous, of uniform T and P, which is in thermal and mechanical equilibrium with its surroundings, but which is not initially at internal equilibrium with respect to mass transfer or with respect to chemical reaction. Changes occurring in the system are then irreversible, and must necessarily bring the system closer to an equihbrium state. The first and second laws written for the entire system are... 

Diffusion in porous solids is usually the most important factor con-troUing mass transfer in adsorption, ion exchange, drying, heterogeneous catalysis, leaching, and many other applications. Some of the... 

Designed to obtain such fundamental data as chemical rates free of mass transfer resistances or other complications. Some of the heterogeneous reactors of Fig. 23-29, for instance, employ known interfacial areas, thus avoiding one uncertainty. 

Flow Reactors Fast reactions and those in the gas phase are generally done in tubular flow reaclors, just as they are often done on the commercial scale. Some heterogeneous reactors are shown in Fig. 23-29 the item in Fig. 23-29g is suited to liquid/liquid as well as gas/liquid. Stirred tanks, bubble and packed towers, and other commercial types are also used. The operadon of such units can sometimes be predicted from independent data of chemical and mass transfer rates, correlations of interfacial areas, droplet sizes, and other data. 

Sohd Catalysts Processes with solid catalysts are affected by diffusion of heat and mass (1) within the pores of the pellet, (2) between the fluid and the particle, and (3) axially and radially within the packed bed. Criteria in terms of various dimensionless groups have been developed to tell when these effects are appreciable. They are discussed by Mears (Ind. Eng. Chem. Proc. Des. Devel., 10, 541-547 [1971] Jnd. Eng. Chem. Fund., 15, 20-23 [1976]) and Satterfield (Heterogeneous Cataly.sls in Practice, McGraw-Hill, 1991, p. 491).
