Old Ones

Early failures may occur almost immediately, and the failure rate is determined by manufacturing faults or poor repairs. Random failures are due to mechanical or human failure, while wear failure occurs mainly due to mechanical faults as the equipment becomes old. One of the techniques used by maintenance engineers is to record the mean time to failure (MTF) of equipment items to find out in which period a piece of equipment is likely to fail. This provides some of the information required to determine an appropriate maintenance strategy tor each equipment item. 

The method is a very old one, remarks on it having been made by Tate in 1864 (33), and a simple expression for the weight W of a drop is given by what... 

The new coordinates are found by rotation of the old ones in the x-y plane such that they lie along the principal axes of the ellipse.

Direct samples can be obtained from the pre-lrealmenl tanks, when a new bath is made and the old one is drained at an interval of two or three days or so, depending upon the amount of work. The samples so collected should be analysed in a recognized test laboratory to ascertain the constituents of the effluents. 

If this is subjected to the "Bain strain" it becomes an undistorted b.c.c. cell. This atomic "switching" involves the least shuffling of atoms. As it stands the new lattice is not coherent with the old one. But we can get coherency by rotating the b.c.c. lattice planes as well (Fig. 8.8). 

The electrolysis protection process using impressed current aluminum anodes allows uncoated and hot-dipped galvanized ferrous materials in domestic installations to be protected from corrosion. If impressed current aluminum anodes are installed in water tanks, the pipework is protected by the formation of a film without affecting the potability of the water. With domestic galvanized steel pipes, a marked retardation of the cathodic partial reaction occurs [15]. Electrolytic treatment alters the electrolytic characteristics of the water, as well as internal cathodic protection of the tank and its inserts (e.g., heating elements). The pipe protection relies on colloidal chemical processes and is applied only to new installations and not to old ones already attacked by corrosion. 

Two Bell Labs employees, Russell Ohl and George Southworth, were trying in the late 1930s to detect ultrahigh-frequency radio waves with vacuum tubes, and like Skinner on the other side of the Atlantic, had no success. So, Southworth, a radio ham since childhood, remembered his early silicon-and-cat s-whisker deviees and managed to retrieve some old ones from a seeondhand radio store. Just as they did... 

We put a lot of effort into improving safety by adding protective equipment onto our plants, new and old gas detectors, emergency isolation valves, interlocks, steam curtains, fire insulation, catchment pits for LPG storage tanks, and so on. We also introduced new procedures, such as hazard and operability studies and modification control, or persuaded people to follow old ones, such as permits-to-work and audits. 

While a plant was on line, an operator noticed a slip-plate on a tank vent. The slip-plate had been fitted to isolate the tank from the blowdown system while the tank was under maintenance. When the maintenance was complete, the slip-plate was overlooked. Fortunately, the tank, an old one, was stronger than it needed to be for the duty, or it would have burst. 

Case Histories, Chemical Manufacturers Association, Washington, D.C. No new ones are being published, but bound volumes of old ones are available. They are, however, rather brief. 

Copper metal is comparatively inactive, but it reacts with concentrated nitric acid. The brown fumes are I l02(g), a reduction product of HN03. The copper is oxidized to Cuz+ ions, which impart their color to the solution. (The penny is an old one made of solid copper. Newer pennies have a coating of copper over a zinc core.)... 

Electrochemical cells are familiar—a flashlight operates on current drawn from electrochemical cells called dry cells, and automobiles are started with the aid of a battery, a set of electrochemical cells in tandem. The last time you changed the dry cells in a flashlight because the old ones were dead, did you wonder what had happened inside those cells Why does electric current flow from a new dry cell but not from one that has been used many hours We shall see that this is an important question in chemistry. By studying the chemical reactions that occur in an electrochemical cell we discover a basis for predicting whether equilibrium in a chemical reaction fa-... 

Of course, New York s got a brilliant solution that keeps people here like a drug. It comes up with new places before you get old in the old ones. 

Popper s theory has been criticized by Thomas Kuhn (1962, 1969), who asserts that the development of science proceeds in revolutions hypotheses and theories are not refuted and replaced by new ones instead the scientific community will accept a new, more convincing, or better presented hypothesis without the old one having been disproved. 

Indeed, if the new bonds are much stronger than the old, one can find an inverse kie. An instructive example of this is the reaction of a manganese hydride (deuteride) with alkenes 20... 

The new photographs, like the old ones, are incompatible with a cyclic configuration. 

The decrease of 0.04 A. in the double bond distance requires that the resonance curve be revised. It is fortunate that this revision invalidates none of the earlier conclusions, for the reason that only the part of the curve from 0 to 50% double-bond character was made use of, and the new curve does not differ appreciably from the old one in this region. 

The new curve representing the dependence of carbon-carbon interatomic distance on doublebond character is shown in Fig. 8. As mentioned above, this curve does not differ appreciably from the old one up to 50% double-bond character, and in this region it may be used as before to determine bond type from measured interatomic distances. The change in the curve between 50 and 100% double-bond character enhances its value the new curve can be used to determine bond type in this region also, where the old one was useless because of its small slope. 

Since it is conceivable that some slight change in a process might lead to a different content, a mental note is made of this by stating that if the new result differs from the old one, the alternate hypothesis H applies. The difference between Hq and might be due to pa pb and/or a a ob-The first possibility is explored in the following section, the second one will be dealt with in Section 1.7.1. 

The expected change in the dependent (= target) variable (effect) should be sufficient to distinguish the new point from the old ones.
