Macro-mixing

Difference in Performance Early or Late Mixing, Macro- or Microfluids,... 

To help understand what occurs, imagine that we have A and B available, each first as a microfluid, and then as a macrofluid. In one beaker mix micro A with micro B, and in another beaker mix macro A with macro B and let them react. What do we find Micro A and B behave in the expected manner, and reaction occurs. However, on mixing the macrofluids no reaction takes place because molecules of A cannot contact molecules of B. These two situations are illustrated in Fig. 16.4. So much for the treatment of the two extremes in behavior.

In a continuous reaction process, the actual residence time of the reaction partners in the reactor plays a major role. It is governed by the residence time distribution of the reactor which gives information on back-mixing (macro-mixing) of the throughput. This emphasizes the interaction between chemical reaction and fluid dynamics. 

The objective of the 2.5-D placement problem is to map a cell netlist (pure standard cell or mixed macro/standard cell) to unique positions in a layered space as illustrated in Fig. 6.1. The inter-chip contacts are assumed to be placed on top of the chip with no need to consume substrate area. We need to differentiate two scenarios hierarchical and flattened design styles. In a hierarchical design set up, after the floorplanning step, cells in a block need to be placed. As mentioned in the last chapter, a random-logic based block could be split into two chips. The 2.5-D placement problem is to assign the cells within such a block to unique positions on two chips. On the other hand, in a flattened design style, the 2.5-D placement problem is to place both standard cell macros onto stacked chips. 

The original placement framework of Capo only supports pure standard cell layout. However, today typical VLSI designs contain certain number of macros, such as embedded memory and IP blocks. In a flattened design flow, placement engine has to be able to place macros and standard cells simultaneously. Accordingly, we enhance Capo with the capability to handle mixed macro/standard cell layout. 

The layout style using mixed macro/standard cells is proper for VLSI design containing IP blocks and embedded memories to be aggressively optimized in a flattened manner. In this layout style, a small number of large macros are scattered in a sea of standard cells. For this layout style, a natural question is whether the cell area variability will impair the efficiency of 2.5-D integration. Therefore, we enhance our placement framework with capabilities of handling macros. 

Compared with pure standard cell placement problem, the difficulty of handling mixed macro/standard cell is how to efficiently remove overlap among cells and macros. Macros are large physical objects with arbitrary shape, and one macro usually interconnects with many small cells. As a result, moving one macro may change the solution structure of many small cells. On the other hand, small standard cells are more flexible and can accommodate the arbitrarily shaped space unoccupied by macros. Consequently, macros and standard cells should be placed concurrently in an interleaved manner. 

In every reactor there are flow patterns that are related to the reactor dimensions, such as axial mixing, radial mixing, macro mixing and internal circulation. In continuous flow reactors these cause a certain residence time distribution. The characteristic dimensions of concentration differences c sed by these phenomena are on the order of the reactor dimensions, from say 10 m to 10 m. In fact, these phenomena are the only ones that are strongly dependent on scale. Scale effects can be investigate in the absence of chemical reactions, in so called "cold models". 

At low values of the Reynolds number, less than about 10, a laminar or viscous zone exists and the slope of the power curve on logarithmic coordinates is — 1, which is typical of most viscous flows. This region, which is characterised by slow mixing at both macro-arid micro-levels, is where the majority of the highly viscous (Newtonian as well as non-Newtonian) liquids are processed. 

Gemini North Observatory/CTI Mode-locked SFG Laser. CTT is developing the first commercial solid-state Na LGS system. It will be installed on the center section of the 8-m Gemini North telescope, with the output beam relayed to a projector behind the secondary mirror. The projected beam is required to be 10-20 W power, with M2 < 1.5. The architecture is based on sum-frequency mixing two mode-locked solid-state Nd YAG lasers. The mode-locked format provides significantly higher peak intensity than CW, enabling more efficient SFG conversion. The laser is also free of the thermal and intensity transients that are inherent in the macro pulse format. The chosen...

Radon forms a series of clathrate compounds (inclusion compounds) similar to those of argon, krypton, and xenon. These can be prepared by mixing trace amounts of radon with macro amounts of host substances and allowing the mixtures to crystallize. No chemical bonds are formed the radon is merely trapped in the lattice of surrounding atoms it therefore escapes when the host crystal melts or dissolves. Compounds prepared in this manner include radon hydrate, Rn 6H20 (Nikitin, 1936) radon-phenol clathrate, Rn 3C H 0H (Nikitin and Kovalskaya, 1952) radon-p-chlorophenol clathrate, Rn 3p-ClC H 0H (Nikitin and Ioffe, 1952) and radon-p-cresol clathrate, Rn bp-CH C H OH (Trofimov and Kazankin, 1966). Radon has also been reported to co-crystallize with sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen sulfide (Nikitin, 1939).
