Liquid Hazards. Pure liquid ethylene oxide will deflagrate given sufficient initiating energy either at or below the surface, and a propagating flame may be produced (266,267). This requites certain minimum temperatures and pressures sensitive to the mode of initiation and system geometry. Under fire exposure conditions, an ethylene oxide pipeline may undergo internal decomposition either by direct initiation of the Hquid, or by formation and subsequent decomposition of a vapor pocket (190). 

Parameters and are then defined to measure the failures to achieve the maximum and minimum temperatures and r,nin. 

Impact requirements for seamless fittings shall be governed by those listed in this Table for the particular base material specification in the grades permitted (A 312, A 240, and A 182). When A 276 materials are used in the manufacture of these fittings, the Notes, minimum temperatures, and allowable stresses for comparable grades of A 240 materials shall apply. 

Soil populations and aflatoxin contamination are influenced by weather patterns, with hot dry soils favoring the Aspergillus section Flavi. In terms of geographic location, A. flavus incidence is correlated with high minimum temperatures and inversely correlated to latitude. For example, corn ears that develop at temperatures of 28 to 32°C are far more likely to be contaminated by aflatoxin than ears grown later in the season at lower temperatures. However, late planting is not economically feasible due to lower crop yields. Besides hot dry weather, the level of insect and rodent activity in an area may also substantially favor colonization and aflatoxin production. Plant fertility, density, and disease also play roles in the level of aflatoxin contamination.

The maximum and minimum temperatures and pressures of a 40 MW turbine shaft output power ideal air Brayton power plant are 1200 K (Ta), 0.38 MPa (P3), 290 K (TO, and 0.095 MPa (Pi), respectively. Determine the temperature at the exit of the compressor Tj), the temperature at the exit of the turbine (P4), the compressor work, the turbine work, the heat added, the mass rate of flow of air, the back-work ratio (the ratio of compressor work to the turbine work), and the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Raw milk is standardized to the proper fat and total milk solids content to produce a final product with a minimum of 50% fat on a solids basis and <39% moisture (CFR 1982 Packard 1975). Cheese is made from pasteurized or raw milk, but raw milk cheese must be aged a minimum of 60 days at >1.7°C (CFR, 1982). Minimum temperature and time combinations are normally used for pasteurization of milk for cheese manufacture in order not to interfere with casein micelle coagulation and curd formation. Milk is sometimes heated only to subpasteurization temperatures to dispel dissolved gases, reduce bacterial populations, and kill certain pathogens, thus resulting in a cheese product with improved flavor (Babel 1976). 

This adhesive is a resin/solvent adhesive material compounded to supply satisfactory initial tack. The solvent system has been carefully selected for somewhat rapid evaporation, thereby requiring minimum temperature and ventilation. Useful in textiles and paper board industries. 

To a large extent, temperature regulates pest development. Scientists use units of measurements called degree days to track heat accumulation over time and predict the local appearance of various pests. The degree day formula assigns a value to each day s maximum and minimum temperature and com-... 

Other glues (some are solutions, some are 100% reactive material) harden predominantly by chemical action. If these cure at room temperature, they begin to increase in viscosity as soon as they are mixed and continue to do so until fully hardened. Hot-setting glues will require certain minimum temperature and time combinations for proper hardening. 

Homogeneity of the series poses more severe problems than for mean temperatmes, as the various factors discussed earlier generally cause differential effects in the maximum and minimum series, and station history infor-mationis evenmore important to decide uponadjustments. Analyses are restricted to the period 1950-1993 because of data availability issues in mai r regions of the world. Figme 6 shows trends over these 44 years for maximum and minimum temperatures and the DTR. Mmimum temperatures decrease in only a few areas (which represent 54% of the world s land area), while maximums show decreases over large areas, notably eastern Canada, southern United States, parts of Europe, and much of China and Japan. The DTR shows decreases almost everywhere except in Arctic Canada and some Pacific islands. 

Fig. 1 Process feasibility window for the thermal processing of a self-reinfOTced composite from the fibre and matrix precursor into a composite structure. The process-feasible window is dictated by four boundaries of temperature and pressure (based rui [22, 23]). (a) When excessive temperature is applied, molecular relaxatimi of the fibrous reinfOTcement can occur, resulting in a loss in mechanical properties and, at the miset of fibre melting, a loss of reinforcemcmt volume fraction. (b) In a similar way to excessive temperature, an excess in applied pressure can encourage flow, disrupting molecular alignment and resulting in a loss in mechanical properties. Conversely, the lower temperature and pressure houndaries of the process-feasible windows (c) and (d), respectively, are dictated by the need to apply a minimum temperature and pressure to achieve adequate composite consolidation...

Table II lists these running conditions and provides comparison of the maximum and minimum temperatures and conversion measured in the three individual runs.

Effects of temperature have been little studied because of the problems of maintaining appropriate metering equipment in the field. Ideally one should use recording instruments in order to identify maximum and minimum temperatures and duration of the extremes. All data so far indicate that most rapid growth is in the spring in temperate zones when daytime temperature is about 19°C, the most favorable range determined for laboratory culture of the mycobionts.
