Normalized space time yield

The space time yield is a measure of the rate of production per unit volume of reactor and is normally quoted in units such as mol dm h . The space time yield is proportional to the effective current through the cell per unit volume of reactor and hence on the current density (overpotential, concentration of electroactive species and the mass transport regime), current efficiency and the active surface area of electrode per unit volume. 

Hi) The concentration of electroactive species. The concentration of the electroactive species is the major parameter that determines the maximum feasible current density and hence the optimum space time yield. Normally this current is proportional to concentration and hence in most systems the concentration of electroactive species will be as high as possible. 

The most Important engineering parameter Is the space-time yield parameter which defines the electrode/cell performance. The Importance of this term Is that It can be normalized thus allowing direct comparison both between different reactor designs and between electrochemical and non-electrochemical processes. The space-time yield term Is defined for an electrode as ... 

It will be clear from the above that the space-velocity (equation (2.85)) and the space-time yield (equations (2.105) and (2.111)) are dependent upon the degree of conversion and upon the initial (batch reactor) or inlet (plug flow reactor) concentrations. In order to compare the performance of reactors involving different or values, it is therefore useful to define normalized s and... 

Two steady-state kinetic constants are most useful in evaluating biocatalytic reactions. "k J is often known as the turnover number and higher values indicate more catalytically efficient enzymes. This first-order rate constant describes the speed at which an enzyme converts bound substrates to products and re-forms the free enzyme to prepare for the next round of catalysis. It includes both the "chemical" steps (bond making and bond breaking) as well as the product release step(s). Note that it is not uncommon for product release to be the slowest step. As a practical matter, one normally seeks enzymes with > 1 s under the process conditions to ensure reasonable space-time yields along with acceptable catalyst loading levels. 

The general method for solving Eqs. (11) consists of transforming the partial differential equations with the help of Fourier-Laplace transformations into a set of linear algebraic equations that can be solved by the standard techniques of matrix algebra. The roots of the secular equation are the normal modes. They yield the laws for the decays in time of all perturbations and fluctuations which conserve the stability of the system. The power-series expansion in the reciprocal space variables of the normal modes permits identification of relaxation, migration, and diffusion contributions. The basic information provided by the normal modes is that the system escapes the perturbation by any means at its disposal, regardless of the particular physical or chemical reason for the decay. 

Albumin 5% and 25% concentrations are available. It takes approximately three to four times as much lactated Ringer s or normal saline solution to yield the same volume expansion as 5% albumin solution. However, albumin is much more costly than crystalloid solutions. The 5% albumin solution is relatively iso-oncotic, whereas 25% albumin is hyperoncotic and tends to pull fluid into the compartment containing the albumin molecules. In general, 5% albumin is used for hypovolemic states. The 25% solution should not be used for acute circulatory insufficiency unless diluted with other fluids or unless it is being used in patients with excess total body water but intravascular depletion, as a means of pulling fluid into the intravascular space. 

P (z) are the Legendre polynomials [51] which now constitute the appropriate basis set), Eq. (132) may be solved to yield the corresponding results for rotation in space, namely, the aftereffect function [Eq. (123)] and the complex susceptibility [Eq. (11)], with x and Xo from Eqs. (81) and (84), respectively. Apparently as in normal diffusion, the results differ from the corresponding two-dimensional analogs only by a factor 2/3 in Xo and the appropriate definition of the Debye relaxation time. 

For example, if x = (.vi,X2,a-3 ) denotes a position in space and P(x,t y,Zo) is the probability to find a particle at this position given that it was at position y at time tg, then for a total particle number N, N (dxi /dt Pt.x, t 1 y, tg) is the particle flux in the direction x,- (number of particles moving per second tlirough a unit cross-sectional area normal to Xj) which, when divided by N, yields the probability flux in that direction.
