Nondilute

If the mutual solubilities of the solvents A and B are small, and the systems are dilute in C, the ratio ni can be estimated from the activity coefficients at infinite dilution. The infinite dilution activity coefficients of many organic systems have been correlated in terms of stmctural contributions (24), a method recommended by others (5). In the more general case of nondilute systems where there is significant mutual solubiUty between the two solvents, regular solution theory must be appHed. Several methods of correlation and prediction have been reviewed (23). The universal quasichemical (UNIQUAC) equation has been recommended (25), which uses binary parameters to predict multicomponent equihbria (see Eengineering, chemical DATA correlation).

However, if a typical, nondiluted wax crystal modifier is added to fuel which is at a cold temperature of+10°F to +20°F (-12.2°C to -6.7°C), it may not dissolve completely in this fuel. The result will be additive accumulation as a viscous layer at the bottom of a fuel or storage tank. Ultimately, the additive will be trapped by a filter as it flows from the tank. 

The Gibbs free energy of solution is the difference between the Gibbs free energy of solvation of the solute in the solvent and any Gibbs free energy of interaction in the pure solute that are lost on dissolution, if it is a solid, a liquid, or a nondilute gas. 

Conoco operated a stirred tank Pfaudler glass-lined reactor for the batch S03 sulfonation of detergent alkylate. The plant utilized over-the-fence S03 converter gas (8% S03 in dry air) having 6-8 h batch cycles (264). Allied Chemical Company provided details for batch S03 sulfonation (265,266) and Conoco also published their procedure for S03 batch sulfonation (267). Andrew Jergens Company patented a cyclic batch sulfonation and sulfation process introducing nondiluted S03 vapors into a venturi contacter that emitted reaction product into a stirred reservoir tank where it was recycled from the reservoir vessel through a heat exchanger and back to the venturi in the cyclic loop. The unit operated in a vacuum (268). Derived color quality was unspecified. 

At present, the fastest degradation rate was observed at 80°C, with 5 g L 1 of Ti02 and a DOC0 of 4500ppm (nondiluted stock solution), and the whole organic matter contained in the reaction system could be mineralized. However, this degradation rate is still relatively slow from an industrial point of view (vide supra). 

When the alloy is nondilute, the melting temperature depends on the solute concentration adjacent to the interface through the shape of the liq-uidus curve. Then the transport of heat and solute and the location of the solidification interface do not decouple (23) Derby and Brown (24) presented a numerical algorithm for the analysis of this problem. 

The flows and the consequent solute segregation caused by thermo-solutal convection in nondilute alloys is only beginning to be explored by experimental and computational analyses. Recent results are discussed by Brown (5). 

These two conditions (Eqs. (4.97) and (4.98)) are usually sufficient for assuming the medium as quiescent in dilute systems in which both cua.s and cda,oo are small. However, in nondilute or concentrated systems the mass transfer process can give rise to a convection normal to the surface, which is known as the Stefan flow [Taylor and Krishna, 1993]. Consider a chemical species A which is transferred from the solid surface to the bulk with a mass concentration cua.oo- When the surface concentration coa,s is high, and the carrier gas B does not penetrate the surface, then there must be a diffusion-induced Stefan convective outflux, which counterbalances the Fickian influx of species B. In such situations the additional condition for neglecting convection in mass transport systems is [Rosner, 1986]... 

Problem L2.17 How dilute is dilute Use e(co) = [1 + 2JVa( )/3]/[l - Na(oo)/3] to show how deviation from dilute-gas pairwise additivity of energies creeps in with increasing number density N. Ignoring retardation, imagine two like nondilute gases with eA = eB = e = [(1 +2Na/3)/(l — Na/3)] interacting across a vacuum em = 1. Expand this e(a>) beyond the linear term in N, feed the result to the difference-over-sum A2 = [(e - l)/(e + l)]2 (Table P.l.a.4) used to compute forces. 

First, and most important, nonlinear dynamics provides an intellectual framework to pursue the consequences of nonlinear behavior of transport systems, which is simply not possible in an intellectual environment that is based upon a linear mentality, characterized by well-behaved, regular solutions of idealized problems. One example that illustrates the point is the phenomenon of hydrodynamic dispersion in creeping flows of nondilute suspensions. It is well known that Stokes flows are exactly reversible in the sense that the particle trajectories are precisely retraced when the direction of the mean flow is reversed. Nevertheless, the lack of reversibility that characterizes hydrodynamic dispersion in such suspensions has been recently measured experimentally [17] and simulated numerically [18], Although this was initially attributed to the influence of nonhydrodynamic interactions among the particles [17], the numerical simulation [18] specifically excludes such effects. A more general view is that the dispersion observed is a consequence of (1) deterministic chaos that causes infinitesimal uncertainties in particle position (due to arbitrarily weak disturbances of any kind—... 

Example A water sample has been diluted with 1 volume of distilled water. The laboratory results for magnesium were 105mg/l for the nondiluted sample and 52.9 mg/1 for the diluted sample the analytical error was 0.8 mg/1. Thus the reported diluted value, 52.9 + 0.8 mg/1, included in its range the calculated value for a 1 1 diluted sample, 52.5 mg/1, and the magnesium data from the laboratory may be accepted for the whole batch. 

Cotecchia et al. (1974) studied the salinization of wells on the coast of the Ionian Sea. A fingerprint diagram (Fig. 6.23) served to define a conceptual model. The lowest line (MT) is of a fresh water spring and the uppermost line (I.S.) is of the Ionian Sea water. The lines in between (SR and CH) are of groundwaters with increasing proportions of seawater intrusion. The CH well met the nondiluted seawater at a depth of 170 m. This interpretation seems to be well founded as it is based on six dissolved ions. The whole story is condensed into one fingerprint diagram.

Now that the effect of a gas being nondiluted is quantified, relationships for the Aris numbers can be derived.

For nondiluted bimolecular reactions, two facts must be understood ...

These formulae, together with the generalized approximation 6.59, enable the effectiveness factor for nondiluted bimolecular reactions to be calculated. 

For complex situations and nondiluted gasses both the above-mentioned points play a role. This has been illustrated for bimolecular reactions. With the aid of the dustygas model (neglecting viscous flow), formulae can also be found for the Aris numbers. 

Many complex situations have not been addressed, such as simultaneous intraparticle temperature and pressure gradients and nondiluted gases with anisotropic catalyst pellets. Calculations for these and other complex situations proceed along the same line as demonstrated for bimolecular reactions and nondiluted gases. A framework that can be used to investigate the effect of complex situations on the effectiveness factor is given. Also presented are criteria that can be used for a quick estimate as to whether or not certain phenomena are important.
