In partially condensed structures, the C—bonds are not all drawn explicitly. For example, in the drawing above, CH3 refers to a carbon atom with bonds to three hydrogen atoms.

Chemists use many different drawing styles to communicate structural information, including Lewis structures, partially condensed structures, and condensed structures.

During the prophase of the first meiotic division (meiosis I) two homologous pairs of partially "condensed" chromosomes must find each other and pair with appropriate orientation. A protein in the telomeres of the chromosomes seems to be involved.269 277 The key structure in meiotic crossing-over is the ribbonlike synaptonemal complex formed by the pairs of homologous chroma fids.271/278 2791 This complex, in which a proteinaceous core or axial element separates the greatly extended chromatid pairs (Fig. 26-13), is fully formed in the pachytene stage of meiosis. Formation of the synaptonemal complex is preceded by development of a few double-stranded breaks in... 

Overhead condensers sometimes need to be located in the structure. Usually, partial condensers need to be elevated above the reflux accumulator. Considerable structure cost reduction can be achieved if the process can use grade-mounted condensers. Mounting the exchangers at grade may require them to be designed with subcooling so that the reflux accumulator can be located above the condenser. This should be considered as part of the process design. 

Because each monomer is potentially tetrafunctional, all sorts of partially hydrolyzed and partially condensed species are possible. For example, 10 distinct dimers may be formed. Many cyclic species can occur. Many of the species in solution are metastable with respect to anhydrous, amorphous Si02, and rearrangements occur with time (2). The complexity of this system means that the structure and growth of these polymers can be described only in a statistical and geometric fashion rather than by a more conventional description in terms of topologies (such as chains and cross-links) and molecular weights. The most useful and intuitive description of the structure of these polymers is in terms of fractal geometry. 

When low boding ingredients such as ethylene glycol are used, a special provision in the form of a partial condenser will be needed to return them back into the reactor. Otherwise, not only would the balance of the reactants be upset and the raw material cost of the resin be increased, they would also become part of the pollutant in the waste water and incur additional water treatment costs. Usually, a vertical reflux condenser or a packed column is used as the partial condenser, which is installed between the reactor and the overhead total condenser (Figure 3). The temperature in the partial condenser is monitored and maintained at a level to effect a fractionation between water, which is to pass through the reactor, and the glycol or other materials, which is to be condensed and returned to the reactor. If the fractionation is poor and water vapor is also condensed and returned, the reaction will be retarded and result in a loss of productivity. As the reaction proceeds toward completion, water evolution slows down, and most of the glycol will have been combined into the resin structure. The temperature in the partial condenser may then be raised to facilitate the removal of water vapor.

Formation of condensation structures is the reason for gelation of solutions of various natural and synthetic polymers. Gelation may be accompanied by conformational changes of macromolecules, which occur in the case of gelling of gelatin and other biopolymers, or in the course of chemical reactions. For instance, according to Vlodavets, partial acetalization of polyvinyl alcohol with formaldehyde in acidic medium under the conditions of supersaturation yields fibers of polyvinyl formals which further undergo coalescence and form a network with properties similar to those of leather (and artificial leather substitute).

During fuel cell operation, water is formed by the electrochemical reactions at the cathode. It will partly be transported by diffusion through the electrolyte membrane to the anode side, other parts of the water are removed through the gas diffusion layer. As it can be expected, water will partially condense into the pore structure of the GDL, particularly under the ribs of the flow field, from which it is removed either by evaporation or by liquid transport. Synchrotron imaging and tomography are powerful tools to study the productirm, accumulation and removal of water [61-66]. 

The control of partial condenser columns is more complex than total condenser columns because of the interaction among the pressure, reflux-drum level, and tray-temperature control loops. Both pressure and level in the reflux dmm need to be controlled, and there are several manipulated variables available. The obvious are reflux flow, distillate flow, and condenser heat removal, but even reboiler heat input can be used. In this section, we explore three alternative control structures for this type of system, under two different design conditions (1) a large vapor distillate flow rate (moderate RR) and (2) a very small vapor distillate flow rate (high RR). 

Control Structure CS1. Figure 8.9a shows the control structure that is probably most commonly used for distillation columns with partial condensers. The main features of this structure are pressure controlled by manipulating vapor distillate flow rate and reflux drum level controlled by manipulating condenser heat removal. Reflux flow rate is fixed or ratioed to feed.
