Normal composition

Spreadsheet Structure There are three principal sections to the spreadsheet. The first has tables of as-reported and normalized composition measurements. The second section has tables for overall and component flows. These are used to check the overall and component material balance constraints. The third has adjusted stream and component flows. Space is provided for recording the basis of the adjustments. The structure changes as the breadth and depth of the analysis increases. 

Simply on the basis of the normal composition of marine organisms, we would expect proteins and peptides to be normal constituents of the dissolved organic carbon in seawater. While free amino acids might be expected as products of enzymic hydrolysis of proteins, the rapid uptake of these compounds by bacteria would lead us to expect that free amino acids would normally constitute a minor part of the dissolved organic pool. This is precisely what we do find the concentration of free amino acids seldom exceeds 150 xg/l in the open ocean. It would be expected that the concentration of combined amino acids would be many times as great. There have been relatively few measurements of proteins and peptides, and most of the measurements were obtained by measuring the free amino acids before and after a hydrolysis step. Representative methods of this type have been described [245-259]. Since these methods are basically free amino acid methods, they will be discussed next in conjunction with those methods.

Breathe air of normal composition, but at a greater overall pressure. An example of this approach is the diver who breathes underwater while fitted out with SCUBA gear. 

The quite loud explosions (either immediate or delayed) which occur when LNG (containing usually high proportions of heavier materials) is spilled onto water are non-combustive and harmless [1]. Superheating and shock-wave phenomena are involved [2], There is a similar effect when LNG of normal composition (90% methane) is spilled on to some CsCghydrocarbons or methanol, acetone or... 

Nitric oxide has a very low ionization potential and could ionize at flame temperatures. For a normal composite solid propellant containing C—H—O—N—Cl—Al, many more products would have to be considered. In fact if one lists all the possible number of products for this system, the solution to the problem becomes more difficult, requiring the use of advanced computers and codes for exact results. However, knowledge of thermodynamic equilibrium constants and kinetics allows one to eliminate many possible product species. Although the computer codes listed in Appendix I essentially make it unnecessary to eliminate any product species, the following discussion gives one the opportunity to estimate which products can be important without running any computer code. 

A contaminant, which is not usually classified as a pollutant unless it has some detrimental effect, can cause deviation from the normal composition of an environment. 

Contaminant a substance that causes deviation from the normal composition of an environment. 

However, if the volume ratio between the filler and the matrix is too high, the composite can become brittle, similar to dense graphite, and the advantage of composite plates in cost reduction will not exist. Hence, the normal composite plate contains about 50-80% fillers so as to have balanced electrical conductivity and mechanical properties with the accepted low cost.

Ethyl acetate is a product of yeasts and a normal component of wine. Its level can be increased by Acetobacter contamination, although most wines showing excess volatile (acetic) acid do not necessarily contain excess ethyl ester initially. It is quite possible to obtain brandy of normal composition and quality by continuous distillation of newly fermented wine containing excess acetic acid, e.g., 0.1%. On the other hand, ethyl acetate can be formed in continuous columns, particularly if the distillation conditions provide for a relatively high ethanol concentration on the feed tray or immediately below. Since acetic acid is weakly yolatile in all mixtures of ethanol and water, it does not appreciably distill upward. Therefore there is no opportunity for acetic acid to combine wtih ethanol in tray liquids normally of high ethanol concentration. 

Parent Analcites. The dehydration of a synthetically prepared analcite of normal composition (Nai6Ali6Si32096 16H20) designated 114 analcite (the index represents the molar ratio of the oxides—e.g., Na20-A12(V 4Si02, of the parent analcite) proceeds at 7.9 torr Ph2o with second-order discontinuities at 100° and 200°C as shown in Figure 1. Otherwise, de-... 

An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the structure of the mesoporous materials based on the composition of their synthesis mixtures. The predictive ability of the networks was tested through comparison of the mesophase structures predicted by the model and those actually determined by XRD. Among the various ANN models available, three-layer feed-forward neural networks with one hidden layer are known to be universal approximators [11, 12]. The neural network retained in this work is described by the following set of equations that correlate the network output S (currently, the structure of the material) to the input variables U, which represent here the normalized composition of the synthesis mixture ... 

The amount of fat in the ration has little effect on the fat content of milk, but the fatty acid composition of the dietary fat greatly influences that of milk fat (Chapter 4). Neither the total protein content of milk nor the proportions of the individual proteins is greatly influenced by the amount or kind of protein in the diet except at very greatly reduced intakes. Overfeeding with protein does, however, increase the NPN content of the milk (Thomas 1980). Milk of normal composition with the normal content and proportions of proteins can be produced on protein-free diets with urea and ammonium salts as the only sources of nitrogen (Virtanen 1966). 

White lead of normal composition should contain theoretically 86-33% °f PbO, 11 -35% of CO2 and 2-32% of H20. Commercial white leads usually Contain 83-5-87% PbO, 11-16% C02 and 1-2-5% H20, but those most valued, especially for their covering power, are the Ones poor in carbonate, i.e., containing 85-87% PbO, 11-12% C02 and 2-2-5% H20 samples containing more than 14% of C02 are mostly of poor quality. Loss on calcination varies from 13 to 16% and with the best products does not usually exceed 14%. 

Absolutely pure minium of normal composition (Pba04) should contain 34 89% of Pb02 the commercial products, however, usually contain an excess of the lower oxide and the percentage of dioxide varies commonly from 20 to 32, corresponding with about 57-92% of true minium. 

Schwevnfurt green of normal composition should contain 31-4% of CuO and 58-5% of As20, commercial pure products usually contain 27-31% of CuO and 50-58% of combined As203. Free arsenious anhydride should not exceed x—2%, but in certain qualities it may be as much as or even more than 5%. 

Solid solutions in metallic alloys are normally compositionally very uniform random variations of 5% would be unusual. Also, a two phase layer normally is found between two solid solutions. The sulfur distribution in coal seems not to behave this way. Apparently, the distribution pattern established at some early stage of coal formation is frozen-in and the organic sulfur is bound so tightly to its hydrocarbon sites that it cannot diffuse until the temperature of the coal is raised to 400°C or above (18). 

Hanaoka Fujimoto published data focusing on five relative peaks in the composite absorption spectra157. These were given as 495, 530, 570, 630 685 nm. As will be seen in Section 17.2, these values, other than the last, are features of the normal composite spectrum of all animals. 

Idiochromatic substances contain a specific coloring element, called a chro-mophore, which is part of their normal composition. The colors of idiochromatic materials tend to be constant and predictable. Examples of this are the minerals malachite and azurite, both carbonates of copper. These minerals are colored by the copper in their compositions, and are always green and blue, respectively. 

Compounds in which cations already occur in more than one valency in the normal compositions are always strongly coloured and are frequently also electron conductors (Fe304, K2SbCl6 with Sb3+ as well as Sb5+, as with Sb4+ it would be paramagnetic). 

Normal composition for clinkers with AUOj/FejOj in the approximate range 1.0 3.0. 

The reason why mixes with AR > 1.7 do not yield any CjjA, on independent crystallization is that the solid phases are not pure CjA, QAF and CjS. For AR = 2.71, the quaternary liquid in equilibrium with C,S, C S and CjA at 1400X contains 55.7% CaO, 27.1% AljOj, 10.0% FcjOj and 7.2% SiOj (S8). This composition can be closely matched by a mixture of aluminate (63%), ferrite (30%) and belite (7%) with the normal compositions given in Table 1.2, the bulk composition of this mixture being 54.4% CaO, 26.4% AI2O3, 9.7% Fe Oj, 5.6% SiO and 1.8% MgO, with <1% each of TiOj, Mn20j, NajO and KjO. Independent crystallization can thus yield a mixture of the three phases. The liquid composition cannot be matched by a mixture of pure CjA, C AF and CjS, which is relatively too high in CaO, so that if no ionic substitutions occurred, some C,2A7 would also be formed. A strict comparison would be with the actual composition of the clinker liquid, which is modified by minor components, but lack of adequate data precludes this.
