Maximum degree

Cellulose dissolved in suitable solvents, however, can be acetylated in a totally homogeneous manner, and several such methods have been suggested. Treatment in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) with paraformaldehyde gives a soluble methylol derivative that reacts with glacial acetic acid, acetic anhydride, or acetyl chloride to form the acetate (63). The maximum degree of substitution obtained by this method is 2.0 some oxidation also occurs. Similarly, cellulose can be acetylated in solution with dimethylacetamide—paraformaldehyde and dimethylformamide-paraformaldehyde with a potassium acetate catalyst (64) to provide an almost quantitative yield of hydroxymethylceUulose acetate. 

For shell boilers, superheaters may be one of three types, depending upon the degree of superheat required. The first and simplest is the pendant superheater installed in the front smokebox (Figure 23.7). The maximum degree of superheat available from this would be around 45°C. The second pattern is again installed in the front smokebox but with this, the elements are horizontal U tubes which extend into the boiler smoketubes. The degree of superheat from this pattern is around 80°C. Third, a superheater may be installed in the reversal chamber of the boiler. A wetback chamber presents problems with lack of space, and therefore a semi-wetback, dryback or water-cooled wall chamber may be considered. Maximum degree of superheat would be around 100°C. 

Further progress in asymptotic tree enumeration was made by Otter, who in [OttR48] considered the problem of rooted and unrooted trees with maximum degree m. Having enumerated unrooted trees by the method already described, he proceeded to derive asymptotic estimates, and after ten pages of analysis arrived at a number of results, of which the following is typical ... 

From the table data one sees that, again, it is carbon or polymeric filler which provides for the maximum degree of crystallinity. 

Ther (cp) dependence in the form of Eq. (5) makes it possible to describe any experimental data by selecting coefficients br But, nevertheless, formula (5) should be modified introducing a concept of maximum degree of loading cpm. This is due to the fact that the values of cp cannot reach 1, since very large values of cp are devoid of phy-... 

Clearly, the maximum degree of simplification of the problem is achieved by using the greatest possible number of fundamentals since each yields a simultaneous equation of its own. In certain problems, force may be used as a fundamental in addition to mass, length, and time, provided that at no stage in the problem is force defined in terms of mass and acceleration. In heat transfer problems, temperature is usually an additional fundamental, and heat can also be used as a fundamental provided it is not defined in terms of mass and temperature and provided that the equivalence of mechanical and thermal energy is not utilised. Considerable experience is needed in the proper use of dimensional analysis, and its application in a number of areas of fluid flow and heat transfer is seen in the relevant chapters of this Volume. 

It follows from the second law of thermodynamics that the optimal free energy of a hydrocarbon-water mixture is a function of both maximal enthalpy (from hydrogen bonding) and minimum entropy (maximum degrees of freedom). Thus, nonpolar molecules tend to form droplets with minimal exposed surface area, reducing the number of water molecules affected. For the same reason, in the aqueous environment of the hving cell the hydrophobic portions of biopolymers tend to be buried inside the structure of the molecule, or within a lipid bilayer, minimizing contact with water. 

The AHg-AWd is on the y-axis in which AHc is the enthalpy of the combustion reaction that leads to substances with maximum degree of oxidation of the moi-ecuie. 

Acetic acid (b.p. 118 °C) is not boiled off from open dyebaths as readily as ammonia but is rapidly flashed off in steam or dry heat processes, thus developing the maximum degree of alkalinity under these conditions. The sodium salts of less volatile acids, such as sodium citrate, can be used to develop a lower degree of alkalinity. 

Ideally, the maximum possible degree of mercerisation would be obtained if the goods were repeatedly mercerised (for example, twice at around 70 °C and then for a third time at 10-15 °C) but such a procedure is economically impractical [274]. In practice it is essential to aim for an optimum rather than the maximum degree of mercerisation, a compromise between what is desirable or ultimately possible and what is economically feasible on available machinery. 

This asymmetry may have an effect on the development of the map. If there are few examples of a particular class in the dataset or if the characteristics of some sample patterns are markedly different from the characteristics of most other samples, development of the map may be eased if these unusual samples find their way to the edge of the map where they have fewer neighbors. The remaining samples, which share a wider range of characteristics, then have the whole of the rest of the map to themselves and they can spread out widely to reveal the differences between them to the maximum degree permitted by the size of the map. 

Due to both kinds of branching leading to chain irregularities, the crystallisation of radical chain-polymerised polyethylene is strongly hindered. Its maximum degree of crystallinity is limited to about 50%, its melting temperature ranges from 80°C to 115°C and its density remains low ( 0.92). From this latter property, it received the name of low-density polyethylene (LDPE).

Most countries restrict the maximum degree of amidation to a 25% maximum. High methoxyl pectins are naturally present in fruit and escape restrictions on use for that reason. Low methoxyl pectins are treated as additives and have restrictive acceptable daily intakes (ADIs). 

In the design of explosive facilities, two major considerations are of paramount importance controlling the conditions which can lead to a premature initiation of energetic materials, and providing the maximum degree of personnel and property protection. 

Aluminum-deficient Y zeolites prepared by partial removal of aluminum with a chelating agent (e.g. EDTA) also show improved thermal and hydrothermal stability compared to the parent zeolite. The optimum stability was found in the range of 25 to 50 percent of framework A1 extraction (8). However, the maximum degree of dealumination is also affected by the SiO /Al O ratio in the parent zeolite a higher ratio appears to allow more advanced dealumination without loss of crystallinity (8,25,45). Above 50 or 60 percent dealumination, significant loss of crystallinity was observed. Calcination of the aluminum-deficient zeolite resulted in a material with a smaller unit cell size and lower ion-exchange capacity compared to the parent zeolite. 

The maximum degree of bending on a field cold bend may be determined by either method in Table PL-3.7.5(a)(2). The first column expresses the maximum deflection in an arc length equal to the nominal outside diameter, and the second column expresses the minimum radius as a function of the nominal outside diameter.
