Moody curves

Gas flow in lagged process pipes will be essentially adiabatic, and some drop in temperature may occur. The drop in temperature will lead to a decrease in viscosity, but the decrease in viscosity will usually be rather small. For example, a drop in temperature of methane from 200°C to 100°C causes the viscosity to drop by 25%, and from equation (4.25), this will lead to an increase of Reynolds number of a similar percentage. This increase in Reynolds number will have no effect on friction factor for Reynolds numbers above 100000 because of the flatness of the Moody curve in this region. We may evaluate the effect for Reynolds numbers below 100000 by differentiating equation (4.28) to give ... 

In simulation studies, we shall, of course, be interested in calculating flow as a function of pressure drop for a variety of conditions. For constant geometry, the Reynolds number will vary in proportion to variations in the flow rate, W. If the Reynolds number is at all times above 100000 then there will be no consequential change in friction factor because of the flatness of the Moody curve in this region. Moreover, equation (4.30) tells us that even when the Reynolds... 

Currently the standard TRACE code heat transfer (Dittus-Boelter) and fluid pressure drop (Churchill and Moody) correlations are applied to the gas cooler. Use of the Churchill correlation and Moody curves, and mathematical representations of the curves, for calculation of the single-phase friction factor in a variety of flow-channel geometries is a common engineering practice. Information on the TRACE default correlations is available in the TRACE theory manual (Reference 12-9). A surface roughness of 2E-6 m is used with the TRACE single phase friction correlations. In order to match the HB24 pressure drop prediction, additional frictional flow factors are included in the hydraulic model. The TRACE model also includes plenums to provide a location to specify form loss factors for the gas cooler. The heat transfer and pressure drop correlations would have been updated as the cooler design was determined and as test data was collected. 

Professor L. F. Moody took the Reynolds work and, combining it with the Colebrook equation (6.3), made a series of curves by plotting constant curve values of e/D on a plot of f vs. Re [5]. The resulting curves perfectly matched f experimentally. Both the curves and the Colebrook equation revealed excellent findings for f. 

None of the redox titration results in previous papers showed the completely synchronized titration curves in the three wavelength regions as given in Fig. 9. This inconsistency is most likely caused by the quality of the purified preparation. The fast-form preparation was used for the experiments published in 1999 (Fig. 9), whereas other published results were likely to be obtained from the slow form or mixtures of slow and fast forms. The reduction rates of hemes a and as with dithionite are identical in the fast form, but reduction of heme as is much slower than that of heme a in the slow form (Moody, 1996). 

The use of the materials and the best chemical forms to be chosen have been discussed briefly in the section on validation. Details taken from Moody et al. and Wells are given in Tables 2.5a and b. The chemometric tools to be applied for the calibration of the signal and the calculation of the confidence interval of the calibration curve have been extensively detailed in several manuals and in particular the second book of Massart et al. [7] or in the text book of the FECS [48]. Modern automated spectrometers usually include adapted and properly validated calibration software. 

Figure 12. Sedimentary and geochemical records from oceans, showing dramatic transient shifts in most records in an interval from just before 8 Ma to 4 Ma (shaded), from Filippelli (1997b). Symbols in all records represent averages of 1 Myr intervals, except for normalized sediment flux curve, which represents 0.5 Myr averages. After interval averaging, all records were adjusted to time scale of Cande and Kent (1992) for consistency, (a) Normalized sediment flux in northern Indian Ocean (Rea 1992). (b) Ge/Si ratio in opaline silica from diatoms (Shemesh et al. 1989). (c) of bulk marine carbonates (Shackleton 1987). Although details of different carbon isotope records differ, general trends revealed in this low-resolution record are robust. PDB is Pee Dee belemnite. (d) Phosphorus accumulation rates in equatorial Pacific (Filippelli and Delaney 1994). Peak in accumulation rates is also observed in other parts of Pacific (Moody et al. 1988) and western Atlantic (Delaney and Anderson 1997). These peaks are linked with increased phosphorus input rates from continental weathering (e.g., Filippelli and Delaney 1994). (e) Sr/ Sr record from marine carbonates (Hodell et al. 1990, 1991). (f) of benthic foraminifera (Miller et al 1987).

The latter equation, which is derived from Moody s friction factor curves, is applicable for a vapor velocity of y > 4,500 ju/p ft./sec. (p = Viscosity, cp p = Density, Ib./ft. ) It may also be used, however, for lower velocities down to y = 200 p/p ft./sec. (i.e., v = 3/x/p ft./sec. for vapors), although the friction coefficient at this velocity is about 20% greater. The friction coefficient for pipe fittings, K = (0.023/d - ) Lg, where Lg is the equivalent length in pipe diameters, may be taken from the literature. For vapors flowing through pipe lines of different diameters... 

The research compares the model spread to the one observed in the market. In order to determine the term structure of credit spread. Eons uses historical probabilities by Moody s database, adopting a recovery rate of 48.38%. The empirical evidence is that bonds with high investment grade have an upward credit spread curve. Therefore, the spread between defaultable and default-free bonds increases as maturity increases. Conversely, speculative-grade bonds have a negative or flat credit yield curve (Figure 8.7). 

The region for which equation 2-19 appUes is shown on the Moody diagram to be to the right of the the dashed curve (Figure 2-4). 

These curves and tables allow an easier and accurate determination of the hydraulic friction gradient of water than the Moody diagram. 

Detection of 1-a-acetylmethadol (LAAM) and methadone, opiate derivatives that are used to treat heroin addiction, were both detected with positive-ion CI-MS using a mixture of ammonia and methane as the reagent gases. Moody et al. [29] used LLE and derivatized the metabolites of LAAM with trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) prior to quantitation with deuterated internal standards and calibration curves to determine limits of quantitation of 5 to 10 ng/ml. In contrast, Alburges et al. [30] carried out SPE of plasma, urine, and tissue samples, but did not derivatize the analytes because methadone and its metabolites have no easily derivatized functional groups. Quantitation with deuterated internal standards showed a linear dynamic range of 10 to 600 ng/ml when positive-ion Cl and SIM were used for detection. Detection of heroin and its metabolites in sweat has been reported by Kintz et al. [31]. They used BSTFA for derivatization of the metabolites of heroin extracted by LLE with use of a deuterated internal standard and calibration curves for quantitation. The LODs were 0.5 to 1 ng/ml using El and SIM for MS detection.
