Technologically it is important that smart battery packages, featuring power management by electronic devices within the battery package, are becoming a necessity due to the sensitive charging characteristics of Li and Ni-MeHy batteries, it should be noted that the same principles at a fraction of the cost have been successfully applied realized by simple reversal protection and overflow components by the low-cost RAM batteries. 

A batch still corresponding to a total separation capacity equivalent to eight theoretical plates (seven plates plus the still) is used to separate a hydrocarbon charge containing four (A, B, C, D) simple-hydrocarbon components. Both the liquid and vapour dynamics of the column plates are neglected. Equilibrium data for the system is represented by constant relative volatility values. Constant molar overflow conditions again apply, as in BSTILL. The problem was originally formulated by Robinson (1975). 

This is the charge buildup just before reaching the overflow line. 

Although there is an additional loss of charge with the overflowing liquid, the system is still operating under hazardous conditions, c. After the inlet flow is stopped, (7s)in and (/s)out are zero, and Equation 7-36 reduces to...

Compute the accumulated charge and energy for a 100,000-gal vessel being filled with a fluid at a rate of 200 gpm and having a streaming current of 2 X 10-6 amp. Make the calculation for a fluid having a conductivity of 10-18 mho/cm and a dielectric constant of 2.0, Repeat the calculation for (a) a half full vessel, (b) a full vessel, and (c) a full vessel with an overflow line. 

The reactions, A = B = 2C, are conducted in a continuous battery of two stages. The specific rates are 4/hr and 2/hr. Initially both reactors are charged with solution containing 1.5 lbmol/cuft of substance A and none of B or C. The ultimate condition is to be 90% conversion of A. The reactors are left undisturbed until the conversion of A in the second stage has become 80% of the steady state value. Pumping of fresh solution to the first stage is resumed at 120 cuft/hr, and overflow is at the same rate. 

The principles of fluidisation, discussed in Chapter 6, are applied in this type of dryer, shown typically in Figure 16.25. Heated air, or hot gas from a burner, is passed by way of a plenum chamber and a diffuser plate, fitted with suitable nozzles to prevent any back-flow of solids, into the fluidised bed of material, from which it passes to a dust separator. Wet material is fed continuously into the bed through a rotary valve, and this mixes immediately with the dry charge. Dry material overflows through a downcomer to an integral after-cooler. An alternative design of this type of dryer is one in which a thin bed is used. 

Theoretical trays, equimolal overflow, and constant relative volatilities are assumed. The total amount of material charged to the column is M q (moles). This material ean be fresh feed with composition Zj or a mixture of fresh feed and the slop cuts. The composition in the still pot at the begiiming of the batch is Xgoj. The composition in the still pot at any point in time is Xgj. The instantaneous holdup in the still pot is Mg. Tray liquid holdup and reflux drum holdup are assumed constant. The vapor boilup rate is constant at V (moles per hour). The reflux drum, eolumn trays, and still pot are all initially filled with material of eomposition Xg j. 

Plane waves have infinite lateral extent and, for this reason, cannot be simulated on a computer because of floating-point overflow. If the lateral extent is constrained, as in Problem 6.11 of Jackson [5], longitudinal solutions appear in the vacuum, even on the U(l) level without vacuum charges and currents. This property can be simulated on the computer using boundary conditions, for example, a cylindrical beam of light. It can be seen from a comparison of Eqs. (625) and (629) that if the Lorenz condition is not used, there is no increase... 

Cold-Water Process. The cold-water bitumen separation process has been developed to the point of small-scale continuous pilot plants. The process uses a combination of cold water and solvent. The first step usually involves disintegration of the tar sand charge, which is mixed with water, diluent, and reagents. The diluent may be a petroleum distillate fraction such as kerosene and is added in a ca 1 1 weight ratio to the bitumen in the feed. The pH is maintained at 9-9.5 by addition of wetting agents and ca 0.77 kg of soda ash per ton of tar sand. The effluent is mixed with more water, and in a raked classifier the sand is settled from the bulk of the remaining mixture. The water and oil overflow the classifier and are passed to thickeners, where the oil is concentrated. Clay in the tar sand feed forms emulsions that are hard to break and are wasted with the underflow from the thickeners. 

A recent processing development has been the continuous oxidizer, shown in Figure 3 (91). The charge is fed to the bottom of the column, where air is also introduced. At the top of the column the liquid overflows into a buffer tank. From this the oxidized asphalt is drawn off by means of a pump, provision being made for recirculation. 

The reaction mixture is pumped away from the reactor with an alkymer transfer pump, through a steam heater and an orifice mixer into the alkymer wash and surge tank. Dilute caustic solution is recirculated from the a.w.s. tank through the orifice mixer. Makeup of caustic is from a dilute caustic storage tank. Spent caustic is intermittently drained off to the sewer. The a.w.s. tank has an internal weir. The caustic solution settles and is removed at the left of the weir the alkymer overflows the weir and is stored in the right-hand portion of the tank until amount sufficient for charging the still has accumulated.
