The factors fp and fj have not been applied to installation costs because installation costs are not a simple function of purchase cost. Although process piping and fittings made for the same unusual conditions are proportionally more expensive, labor, foundations, insulation, etc. are not. Furthermore, only about 70 percent of piping is directly exposed to process fluid. The balance is auxiliary or utility piping made of conventional materials. 

Key resins used in the manufacture of laminates are made with formaldehyde (qv). The A-stage resins are manufactured to have low levels of free formaldehyde, less than one percent, and plant atmospheres as well as individual operators are monitored to be certain they are exposed to levels of formaldehyde that are below OSHA guidelines of 0.75 ppm (14). 

The DOT rules require that pressure cars have rehef valves designed to hmit pressure to 82.5 percent (with certain exceptions) of test pressure (110 percent of maximum operating pressure) when exposed to fire. Appendix A of AAR Specifications de s with the flow capacity of rehef devices. The formulas apply to cars in the upright position with the device discharging vapor. They may not protec-t the car adequately when it is overturned and the device is discharging hqnid. 

There is a large difference between the total surface of the particles (as determined by their size and shape) and the effective surface actually exposed to the passing gas stream. In practice, it has been estimated tnat as little as 10 to 25 percent of the total surface is effective in heat transfer when unscreened particles are treated. 

One manner in which size may be computed, for estimating purposes, is by employing a volumetric heat-transfer concept as used for rotary diyers. It it is assumed that contacting efficiency is in the same order as that provided by efficient lifters in a rotaiy dryer and that the velocity difference between gas and solids controls, Eq. (12-52) may be employed to estimate a volumetric heat-transfer coefficient. By assuming a duct diameter of 0.3 m (D) and a gas velocity of 23 m/s, if the solids velocity is taken as 80 percent of this speed, the velocity difference between the two would be 4.6 m/s. If the exit gas has a density of 1 kg/m, the relative mass flow rate of the gas G becomes 4.8 kg/(s m the volumetric heat-transfer coefficient is 2235 J/(m s K). This is not far different from many coefficients found in commercial installations however, it is usually not possible to predict accurately the acdual difference in velocity between gas and soRds. Furthermore, the coefficient is influenced by the sohds-to-gas loading and particle size, which control the total solids surface exposed to the gas. Therefore, the figure given is only an approximation. 

The mean residence time T (defined as H JF) is the most important parameter, since it determines the time over which particles are exposed to grinding. Measurements on several industrial mills (Weller, Automation in Mining Mineral and Metal Processing, 3d IFAC Symposium, 303-309, 1980) (measured on the water, not the ore) showed that the maximum mill filhng was about 40 percent, and the maximum flow velocity through the mill is 40 m/h. 

All specimens should be measured carefully to permit accurate calculation of the exposed areas. An area calculation accurate to plus or minus I percent is usually adequate. 

Actually, in many cases strength and mechanical properties become of secondaiy importance in process applications, compared with resistance to the corrosive surroundings. All common heat-resistant alloys form oxides when exposed to hot oxidizing environments. Whether the alloy is resistant depends upon whether the oxide is stable and forms a protective film. Thus, mild steel is seldom used above 480°C (900°F) because of excessive scaling rates. Higher temperatures require chromium (see Fig. 28-25). Thus, type 502 steel, with 4 to 6 percent Cr, is acceptable to 620°C (I,I50°F). A 9 to 12 percent Cr steel will handle 730°C (I,350°F) 14 to 18 percent Cr extends the limit to 800°C (I,500°F) and 27 percent Cr to I,I00°C (2,000°F). 

Rafts are designed to restrict the surface area exposed to air so as to reduce oxygen absorption. They are subject to damage by direct waste contact and can achieve efficiencies of up to 90 percent. 

Chemical and common names of all ingredients determined to be healtli liazards mid comprising less than 1 percent (0.1 percent for carcinogens) of tlie mi.xlure must also be listed if they can still exceed an established OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) or tlic ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) or present a health risk to exposed employees in tlicsc concentrations. The next chapter will address PELs and TLVs in further detail. 

Nonetheless, birds have higher metabolic rates than mammals of similar size. Most small mammals reduce energy costs by seeking protected environments birds spend much of their time exposed. Also, because fat is heavy, the need to fly restricts a bird s ability to store energy. Even with a high-protein diet, a bird must eat as much as 3(1 percent of its body... 

Bcu/h-ft ). While the surfaces, Sheetrock, and siding each impede heat flow, 80 percent of the resistance to heat flow in this wall comes from the insulation. If the insulation is removed, and the cavity is filled with air, the resistance of the gap will be 0.16 (W/m -°C)" (0.9 (Btu/h-ft -T)" ) and the total resistance of the wall will drop to 0.54 (W/m -°C)" (3.08 (Btti/h-ft -°F)" ) resulting in a heat flow of 38.89 W/m (12.99 Btu/h-fr). The actual heat flow would probably be somewhat different, because the R-value approach assumes that the specified conditions have persisted long enough that the heat flow is steady-state, so it is not changing as time goes on. In this example the surface resistance at the outer wall is less than half that at the inner wall, since the resistance value at the outer wall corresponds to a wall exposed to a wind velocity of about 3.6 m/s (8 mph), which substantially lowers the resistance of this surface to heat flow. 

Amorphous silicon modules experience a conversion efficiency loss of about 10 percent when initially exposed to sunlight, but then stabilize at the reduced figure. The mechanism for this reduction is being actively investigated, but is still not well understood. Individual modules made with other PV materials do not exliibit such loss of conversion efficiency, but combinations of modules in arrays do exhibit systematic reductions in power output over their lifetimes. Estimated at about 1 percent per year on average, based on data to date, these reductions are most likely associated with deteriorating electrical connections and non-module electrical components. 

An example of an absorption spectrum—that of ethanol exposed to infrared radiation—is shown in Figure 12.12. The horizontal axis records the wavelength, and the vertical axis records the intensity of the various energy absorptions in percent transmittance. The baseline corresponding to 0% absorption (or 100% transmittance) runs along the top of the chart, so a downward spike means that energy absorption has occurred at that wavelength. 

One of the most studied of the polyaromatic hydro-carbone (PAH) is benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), which is present in coal tar at coke oven plants. The BaP content of coal tar is between 0.1% and 1 % and it contributes to the serious potential health effects on employees exposed to coke oven emissions. The largest sources of BaP are open burning and home heating with wood and coal. The latter alone contributes 40 percent of all the BaP released each year in the USA. 

Extrapolating exposure estimates to all urban cities In the world would Indicate that as many as 625 million people, mostly In developing countries, are exposed to unacceptable levels of 02 pollution and about 1.25 billion people live In urban areas where SPN levels exceed acceptable guidelines. This means that less than 20 percent of city dwellers live In environments that can be considered to have acceptable outdoor air quality levels. 

Special attention was paid to the detection of residual Cu-fl quantities accompanying the metallic Cu. The relative amounts of Cu+1 and Cu were determined by curve-fitting the Cu (LMM) spectra using the Physical Electronics Version 6 curve-fitting program. The catalyst showed reduction of Cu+2 Into a mixture of Cu+1 and Cu after reduction In H2 at 250 C for one hour (Figure 6) as evidenced by the two resolved peaks In the Cu (LMM) spectrum at 568.0 and 570.3 eV which are characteristic of Cu and Cu+1, respectively, and by the disappearance of the Cu+2 2p satellite structure. It could be shown that less than 2%, If any, of the total Cu could be present In the +1 oxidation state during methanol formation. However, when the catalyst was briefly exposed to air (1 minute), a few percent of Cu+1 readily formed (7). Thus, any kind of oxidation environment has to be avoided between methanol synthesis and catalyst analysis. Otherwise, appreciable amounts of Cu+1 will be detected. 

In a series of studies of carefully prepared catalysts of Pt on silica gel (7,10-12) we have shown that the Pt particles are equi-axed, (and de-finitely not cuboidal as is often assumed) that the size (or percent metal exposed) agrees with results from hydrogen chemisorption, and that the particles are free of microstrain faults or twins, except when the average size is similar to the pore size of the support. In this latter case, the particles are elongated, and there is microstrain, probably due to differ-...

The team also assisted the infants caretakers with obtaining appropriate medical care and treatment. The primary health care of 58 percent of the infants was received from physicians who lived within the foster family s community 42 percent of infants returned to the UCLA Pediatric Clinic for routine pediatric follow-up. In order to promote optimal medical care for all infants, team members provided the primary physician with summaries of the child s birth history, developmental progress, and information regarding the medical treatment and management of the PCP-exposed infant. 

Carolina in 1981. Each sample (1.4 ml of methanolic sample) was placed into a 3-cm petri dish and the solvent evaporated under a laminar flow hood at room temperature. Seventy seeds (0.035 g) were then placed into the petri dishes and 1.4 ml of sterilized (0.2 pm-filter) 15 mM Mes [2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid Sigma Chemical Co.] buffer adjusted to pH 5.5 was added. The dishes were kept in the dark at 25°C2for 84 hr, exposed to 12-hr fluorescent light (250 p einsteins/m /sec), and then placed back in the dark for an additional 4 days (17). Percent germination, root and hypocotyl lengths were then determined.
