Energy needed for pumping can be a significant cost item for the inexpensive basic chemicals therefore, pressure drop must be known more accurately than calculation methods can provide. The needed accuracy can be achieved only by measuring pressure drop versus flow for every new catalyst. This measurement can now be done much better and more easily than before. Even so, for a basic understanding of correlation between pressure drop and flow, some published work must be consulted. (See Figure 1.4.1 on the next page.)...

Quantitative information about energies of atomic orbitals is obtained using photoelectron spectroscopy, which applies the principles of the photoelectric effect to gaseous atoms. Our Box (on the next page) explores this powerful spectroscopic technique. 

The relationship between electromagnetic radiation and matter (solids) is intertwined in the so-called space-time phenomenon. All solids emit photons, even yourself. The concept of absolute zero lies in the fact that no photons are emitted at 0° K. As the temperature rises, a spectrum of photon energies is emitted, as shown in the following diagram, given as 7.8.1. on the next page. 

In the periodic table on the next page, each energy sublevel, e.g. 2s, is placed in the elemental box which corresponds to the element, e.g. Be, in which that energy sublevel is filled.

The space shuttle uses a fuel cell as a source of energy. This cell depends on the oxidation of hydrogen by oxygen to form water. The fuel cell operates under basic conditions, so it is sometimes referred to as an alkaline fuel cell. Figure 11.31, on the next page, shows the design of the cell. The half-reactions and the overall reaction are as follows. 

In contrast to the traditional derivation based on microscopic reversibility, that given here does not invoke equilibrium. It thus shows that no net circular reaction is possible even under non-equilibrium conditions. However, there is one very important qualification A net circular reaction does occur if it entails the conversion of co-reactants to co-products of lower Gibbs free energy. For example, the cycle 2.13 (next page) converts reactants A and B to product P while undergoing a net circular reaction K— L— M — N — K. This is a typical catalytic cycle. Such a cycle is not a loop, a term to be reserved for circular pathways in which any... 

A spreadsheet that performs the required material and energy balances and vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations on this process unit is shown on the next page. In the test case, a 40 mole benzene-60 mole% toluene mixture is fed to the evaporator at 120°C and a pressure high enough to assure that the feed stream remains in the liquid state. The unit operates at 7 = lOO C and P = 800 mm Hg. 

Ionization energy tends to decrease down a group, as Figure 17 on the next page shows. Each element has more occupied energy levels than the one above it has. Therefore, the outermost electrons are farthest from the nucleus in elements near the bottom of a group. 

Notice in Figure 18 on the next page that the ionization energy of potassium is less than that of lithium. The outermost electrons of a potassium atom are farther from its nucleus than the outermost electrons of a lithium atom are from their nucleus. So, the outermost electrons of a lithium atom are held more tightly to its nucleus. As a result, removing an electron from a potassium atom takes less energy than removing one from a lithium atom. 

How does a catalyst increase the reaction rate Figure 17-11 on the next page shows the energy diagram for an exothermic chemical reaction. The red line represents the uncatalyzed reaction pathway—the reaction pathway with no catalyst present. The blue line represents the catalyzed reaction pathway. 

Progress of reaction refers to the relevant spatial coordinates of the molecules that show bond breaking as reactants approach the energy maximum and bond formation as products form. Reaction profiles for exothermic and endothermic reactions are shown in the schematic drawings on the next page. 

The chart on the next page shows the possible quantum numbers for energy levels 1 through4. We will use this as the basis for our consideration of other components of the model. 

Now we are ready to construct the energy diagram see the next page.
