When the primary distribution does not illustrate the current or electric potential distribution well, an additional resistance, that is, the charge transfer electrode resistance, has to be considered. In such cases, we need to account for the electrode kinetics, and the secondary current and potential distributions emerge from the models. For industrial purposes the porous or tortuous electrocatalyst has to be considered as a dynamic system. This means that its porosity shape and density besides the surface roughness and the real geometric area changes all the time. This point makes us think that it... 

Impregnated catalysts have many advantages compared to precipitated catalysts. Their pore strucmre and specific surface area are largely determined by the support. Since support materials are available in all desired ranges of surface area, porosity, shape, size, and mechanical stability, impregnated catalysts can be tailor-made with respect to mass transport properties [9]. 

C. Megascopic properties— hardness, color, porosity, shape note variations in these properties within and between clinkers and establish predominant characteristics agglomerated or single nodules. 

The pore system is described by the volume fraction of pore space (the fractional porosity) and the shape of the pore space which is represented by m , known as the cementation exponent. The cementation exponent describes the complexity of the pore system i.e. how difficult it is for an electric current to find a path through the reservoir. 

The shaping of these fine, submicrometer powders into complex components and their subsequent consoHdation into dense ceramic parts of ideally zero porosity is a major technological challenge. The parts formed need to be consoHdated to near-net shape because Si N machining requires expensive diamond grinding. Additionally, Si N dissociates at or near the typical densiftcation temperatures used in the fabrication of stmctural ceramics and, therefore, special measures have to be taken to preserve the compositional integrity of the material. 

Fluidyibsorbamy. Fluids like ink penetrate into paper during the printing process. The further the ink penetrates, the less glossy the print. The degree of penetration in paper is generally a function of the paper porosity and wettabiUty by the fluid. It can be controlled by the particle size, shape, and chemical nature of the filler or filler surface. In particular, plate-like fillers, such as clays, tend to produce the best fluid holdout because they tend to overlap and reduce the porosity at the paper surface (see Inks). 

Mechanical Properties. The stain resistance of paints is directly related to their porosity. Therefore fillers that help to reduce porosity, ie, those with low surface areas, wide size distribution, and laminar shapes, contribute to stain resistance. 

The constant given the value 5 in equation 1 depends on particle size, shape, and porosity it can be assumed to be 5 for low porosities. Although equation 1 has been found to work reasonably well for incompressible cakes over narrow porosity ranges, its importance is limited in cake filtration because it cannot be used for most practical, compressible cakes. It can, however, be used to demonstrate the high sensitivity of the pressure drop to the cake porosity and to the specific surface of the soHds. 

Specific gravity is the most critical of the characteristics in Table 3. It is governed by ash content of the material, is the primary deterrninant of bulk density, along with particle size and shape, and is related to specific heat and other thermal properties. Specific gravity governs the porosity or fractional void volume of the waste material, ie. 

DRI can be produced in pellet, lump, or briquette form. When produced in pellets or lumps, DRI retains the shape and form of the iron oxide material fed to the DR process. The removal of oxygen from the iron oxide during direct reduction leaves voids, giving the DRI a spongy appearance when viewed through a microscope. Thus, DRI in these forms tends to have lower apparent density, greater porosity, and more specific surface area than iron ore. In the hot briquetted form it is known as hot briquetted iron (HBI). Typical physical properties of DRI forms are shown in Table 1. 

Fibers of different diameters, lengths, shapes, and densities fractionate, or break up, when processed together in airstreams. This fractionation results in the formation of webs with different top and bottom surface characteristics, as well as varying density and porosity gradients. Such stmctures ate well suited for many filtration appHcations. 

Isostatic pressing gives a highly uniform product, although the production rate is somewhat low. It typically contains very small grains and Uttle or no porosity. In this process, a mbber sock or bag of the desked shape is filled with the refractory mix. The sock is then subjected to extremely high pressure in a hydrauUc pressure chamber. 

Cold-isostatic-pressing foUowed by vacuum sintering or HIP is also used to manufacture smaller intricate shapes. In this instance beryUium powder is loaded into shaped mbber bags and pressed isostaticaUy in a pressure chamber up to 410 MPa (60,000 psi). After the pressing operation the mbber bag is stripped from the part which is then vacuum sintered to about 99% of theoretical density at about 1200°C. If full theoretical density is required, the sintered part may be simply given a HIP cycle because there is no open porosity after vacuum sintering. In a similar manner, conventional axial cold-pressing...
