Possible effects

There always is a relation between fuel composition and that of hydrocarbon emissions to the atmosphere, whether it concerns hydrocarbon emissions from evaporative losses from the fuel system, or from exhaust gases. This is the reason that environmental protection regulations include monitoring the composition of motor and heating fuels. We will describe here the regulations already in existence and the work currently underway in this area with its possible effects on refining. 

Phytoalexins are low molecular weight compounds produced in plants as a defense mechanism against microorganisms. They do, however, exhibit toxicity to humans and other animals in addition to microbes (30). Coumarins, glycoalkaloids, isocoumarins, isoflavonoids, linear furanocoumarins, stilbenes, and terpenes aU. fall into the category of phytoalexins (31). Because phytoalexins are natural components of plants, and because their concentration may increase as a response to production and management stimuli, it is useful to recogni2e the possible effects of phytoalexins in the human diet. 

Although FeMo-cofactor is clearly knpHcated in substrate reduction cataly2ed by the Mo-nitrogenase, efforts to reduce substrates using the isolated FeMo-cofactor have been mosdy equivocal. Thus the FeMo-cofactor s polypeptide environment must play a critical role in substrate binding and reduction. Also, the different spectroscopic features of protein-bound vs isolated FeMo-cofactor clearly indicate a role for the polypeptide in electronically fine-tuning the substrate-reduction site. Site-directed amino acid substitution studies have been used to probe the possible effects of FeMo-cofactor s polypeptide environment on substrate reduction (163—169). Catalytic and spectroscopic consequences of such substitutions should provide information concerning the specific functions of individual amino acids located within the FeMo-cofactor environment (95,122,149). 

Whereas no quantitative consequence analysis is required by this legislation, the process ha2ards analysis must include a quaHtative evaluation of the possible effects of failure of controls on employees. Details concerning development and implementation of programs for these subjects are available (37-39). 

Benzyl chloride is a severely irritating Hquid and causes damage to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract including pulmonary edema. Other possible effects of overexposure to benzyl chloride are CNS depression, Hver, and heart damage. Table 3 Hsts some exposure limits. 

One cannot quantitatively predict the effect of the various interfacial phenomena thus, these phenomena will not be covered in detail here. The following literature gives a good general review of the effects of interfacial phenomena on mass transfer Goodridge and Robb, Ind. Eng. Chem. Fund., 4, 49 (1965) Calderbank, Chem. Eng. (London), CE 205 (1967) Gal-Or et al., Ind. Eng. Chem., 61(2), 22 (1969) Kintner, Adv. Chem. Eng., 4 (1963) Resnick and Gal-Or, op. cit., p. 295 Valentin, loc. cit. and Elenkov, loc. cit., and Ind. Eng. Chem. Ann. Rev. Mass Transfer, 60(1), 67 (1968) 60(12), 53 (1968) 62(2), 41 (1970). In the following outhne, the effects of the various interfacial phenomena on the factors that influence overall mass transfer are given. Possible effects of interfacial phenomena are tabulated below ... 

Typically, Ro is small to the order of 1 with the high end of the range showing possible effect due to inertia, whereas the Ek number is usually very small, 10" or smaller. Therefore, the viscous effect is confined to thin boundaiy layers with thickness Ek L. 

The possible effects of fluid velocity on galvanic corrosion are sometimes overlooked. Fluid velocity can affect the apparent potential of metals in a given environment. Depending on the environment, a metal under the influence of relatively rapid flow may assume either a more noble or a more active character than that indicated by the galvanic series. Occasionally, this shift in potential may result in galvanic corrosion that would not occur under stagnant or low-flow conditions. 

Summarize the fmdings and recommendations in a brief pre-assessment report, and present and review this with management. This will reaffirm management s commitment to the next phase. Include in the pre-assessment report a list of actions or steps that the team intends to follow in the next phase. If some of these steps involve field measurements, then highlight these and their possible effects on production schedules and personnel assignments. Use the steps in Phase II as a guide to developing the recommended actions. 

PHA is required for new systems that are designed and construction for the Department of Defense (MrL-STD-882A) it is useful for initial PSA of any system (Lambert, 1975). A PHA is a tabular listing of possible accident initiators, the parts of the plant that could be affected and possible effects of an accident. Because a PHA is performed before a PSA,... 

This appendix is a summary of the woiit published in the so-called Green Book (1989). Possible effects of explosions on humans include blast-wave overpressure effects, explosion-wind effects, impact from fragments and debris, collapse of buildings, and heat-radiation effects. Heat-radiation effects ate not treated here see Chapter 6, Figure 6.10 and Table 6.6.

Aside from ion content, a wide range of properties is available in ionomers by control of various processing variables, such as degree of conversion (neutralization), type of counterion, plasticizer content and thermal treatment. Various examples illustrating possible effects of these variables on mechanical relaxation behavior and on such mechanical properties as stiffness, strength, and time- or energy-to-fracture have been given. 

To examine replication of IPBs we made MFKEi-based simulations using the simplest 2D alloy model with the nearest-neighbor interaction. Some results are presented in Figs. 8-10. The lower row in Fig. 10 illustrates possible effects of thermal fluctuations, similar to those discussed in Sec. 3 for the replication of APBs. The figure shows that peculiar features of microstructural evolution are preserved even under rather strong thermal fluctuations used in this simulation. 

Tube-side water velocities should be kept within reasonable limits, even though calculations would indicate that improved tube-side film coefficients can be obtained if the water velocity is increased. Table 10-24 suggests guidelines that recognize the possible effects of erosion and corrosion on the system. 

Materials of construction depend on the metallurgical requirements and pressure of the gas being compressed hut usually the more popular materials include cast iron, cast steel, alloy steel, or forged steel (high pressure). Figure 12-42 illustrates the extent of damage internally when materials of construction are not resistant to possible effects of internal corrosion.
