Movement of Materials

It has become quite a common proverb that in wine there is truth. [Pg.55]


The movement of material toward or away from the electrode surface. [Pg.511]

The movement of material in response to a mechanical force, such as stirring a solution. [Pg.512]

Besides the chemical composition, porosity is another property of stone which has great influence on its preservation. An increased porosity increases the exposed surface and pores allow movement of materials such as water and its solutes through the stones. If the pores are blocked or reduced in diameter such substances may be trapped within resulting in increased local interior damage. Exposure to the climatic elements is one important source of decay. Freeze-thaw cycles, in particular, result in pressures on the pore walls of the stone s interior from changes in volume during the phase transition... [Pg.425]

Once the source modeling is complete, the quantitative result is used in a consequence analysis to determine the impact of the release. This typically includes dispersion modeling to describe the movement of materials through the air, or a fire and explosion model to describe the consequences of a fire or explosion. Other consequence models are available to describe the spread of material through rivers and lakes, groundwater, and other media. [Pg.475]

Fluid mixing is a unit operation carried out to homogenize fluids in terms of concentration of components, physical properties, and temperature, and create dispersions of mutually insoluble phases. It is frequently encountered in the process industry using various physical operations and mass-transfer/reaction systems (Table 1). These industries include petroleum (qv), chemical, food, pharmaceutical, paper (qv), and mining. The fundamental mechanism of this most common industrial operation involves physical movement of material between various parts of the whole mass (see Supplement). This is achieved by transmitting mechanical energy to force the fluid motion. [Pg.419]

One of the most important material-handling techniques in the chemical industry is the movement of material suspended in a stream of air over horizontal and vertical distances ranging from a few to several hundred feet. Materials ranging from fine powders through 6.35-mm (lA-in) pellets and bulk densities of 16 to more than 3200 kg/m (1 to more than 200 Ib/ft ) can be handled. A large, capable manufacturing... [Pg.1927]

Atmospheric conditions must also be addressed when determining tlie appropriate evacuation response to a liaziirdous material release. Atmospheric conditions that may affect the movement of material mid evacuation procedures include ... [Pg.498]

While these calculations provide information about the ultimate equilibrium conditions, redox reactions are often slow on human time scales, and sometimes even on geological time scales. Furthermore, the reactions in natural systems are complex and may be catalyzed or inhibited by the solids or trace constituents present. There is a dearth of information on the kinetics of redox reactions in such systems, but it is clear that many chemical species commonly found in environmental samples would not be present if equilibrium were attained. Furthermore, the conditions at equilibrium depend on the concentration of other species in the system, many of which are difficult or impossible to determine analytically. Morgan and Stone (1985) reviewed the kinetics of many environmentally important reactions and pointed out that determination of whether an equilibrium model is appropriate in a given situation depends on the relative time constants of the chemical reactions of interest and the physical processes governing the movement of material through the system. This point is discussed in some detail in Section 15.3.8. In the absence of detailed information with which to evaluate these time constants, chemical analysis for metals in each of their oxidation states, rather than equilibrium calculations, must be conducted to evaluate the current state of a system and the biological or geochemical importance of the metals it contains. [Pg.383]

If we assume that the TCDD is contained in the surface 6 inches of the soil profile since it is relatively immobile (5), then the 2,4,5-T at the 947 lbs of active ingredient/acre treatment would have had to contain 2.1 ppm TCDD to be observed. At the lower application rates of 584 and 160 lbs/acre, the 2,4,5-T would have had to contain 3.5 and 12.5 ppm TCDD in the technical materials to have 1 ppb in the top 6 inches of soil. Since the soil is sandy and high rainfall occurred in the area, maximum movement of materials in soil may occur causing TCDD to be present deeper in the profile. If the TCDD moved uniformly throughout the 36 inch soil profile, then six times more TCDD would have had to be present in the original 2,4,5-T for detection. This would have required the presence of 12.6, 21.0, and 75.0 ppm TCDD in the 2,4,5-T applied in the three treatments. These calculations are based on the assumption that no degradation occurred in or on the soil. [Pg.115]

Only personnel authorized by management should have access to the archives. Movement of material in and out of the archives should be properly recorded. [Pg.196]

The first of these factors pertains to the complications introduced in the rate equation. Since more than one phase is involved, the movement of material from phase to phase must be considered in the rate equation. Thus the rate expression, in general, will incorporate mass transfer terms in addition to the usual chemical kinetics terms. These mass transfer terms are different in type and number in different kinds of heterogeneous systems. This implies that no single rate expression has a general applicability. [Pg.305]

Road reconstruction. Some roads on the site can be restabilized and improved to allow construction activities and the movement of materials. [Pg.646]

In the literature we can now find several papers which establish a widely accepted scenario of the benefits and effects of an ultrasound field in an electrochemical process [13-15]. Most of this work has been focused on low frequency and high power ultrasound fields. Its propagation in a fluid such as water is quite complex, where the acoustic streaming and especially the cavitation are the two most important phenomena. In addition, other effects derived from the cavitation such as microjetting and shock waves have been related with other benefits reported for this coupling. For example, shock waves induced in the liquid cause not only an enhanced convective movement of material but also a possible surface damage. Micro jets of liquid, with speeds of up to 100 ms-1, result from the asymmetric collapse of cavitation bubbles at the solid surface [16] and contribute to the enhancement of the mass transport of material to the solid surface of the electrode. Therefore, depassivation [17], reaction mechanism modification [18], surface activation [19], adsorption phenomena decrease [20] and the mass transport enhancement [21] are effects derived from the presence of an ultrasound field on electrode processes. We have only listed the main phenomena referring to the reader to the specific reviews [22, 23] and reference therein. [Pg.108]

Chemical Penetration The movement of material through a suit s closures, such as zippers, buttonholes, seams, flaps, or other design features. Abraded, torn, or ripped suits will also allow penetration. [Pg.302]

Permeability is a measure of the rate of passage of gas or liquid through a material. Diffusion is the movement of material from one chemical potential to another. Thus, these two terms... [Pg.453]

Flux Rates We use the term flux to describe the movement of material. Flux rate is then the quantity of material moved por unit time. In the literature we find rates quoted in different time units, sometimes seconds, sometimes minutes, or hours, or days. In particular, flux rates are sometimes presented in pg/cm2-day and sometimes in fg/cm2-sec. We can simplify this a bit by normalizing these to cm2. Thus, Table 1.9 provides a correlation of the rates. [Pg.23]

Second, because there is no flux or movement of material through the interior end of the pore... [Pg.383]

In addition, since the movement of material within the film is visualized to occur by diffusion alone, the transfer coefficients for A and B are related by ... [Pg.531]

ThFFF is the FFF family technique that employs a temperature gradient as the applied field (see Figure 12.7). The presence of a thermal gradient in a fluid mixture induces a relative component matter flow known as thermal diffusion. Several terms are used to express the movement of material... [Pg.347]
