These fires are caused by heat produced by, for example, inadequate lubrication, poorly controlled cutting or grinding operations, of maladjustment of power drives and conveyors. Friction can be created by two moving parts, or by one moving and one stationary part, as can be found in a conveyor system.

Motors have many uses in fluid power systems. In hydraulic power drives, pumps and motors are combined with suitable lines and valves to form hydraulic transmissions. The pump commonly referred to as the A-end is driven by some outside source, such as an...

The cleavage of the cyclopropyl ring with its relase of the total strain is a powerful driving force. Electrophilic attack on the electron rich ring does provide one approach as shown in Eq. 13). The lack of selectivity in the cleavage of one of the...

Up to the end of the eighteenth century the ingredients of blackpowder were milled in stone or wooden mortars in which the wooden pestles were fitted with power drive (Fig. 90). The production capacity of such devices was, of course, rather low. They were used too, for mixing the mass of powder, but this proved to be dangerous, and in several countries (e.g. Great Britain) it was prohibited by law (about 1772). 

Like Complex III of mitochondria, cytochrome b6f conveys electrons from a reduced quinone—a mobile, lipid-soluble carrier of two electrons (Q in mitochondria, PQb in chloroplasts)—to a water-soluble protein that carries one electron (cytochrome c in mitochondria, plastocyanin in chloroplasts). As in mitochondria, the function of this complex involves a Q cycle (Fig. 19-12) in which electrons pass, one at a time, from PQBH2 to cytochrome bs. This cycle results in the pumping of protons across the membrane in chloroplasts, the direction of proton movement is from the stromal compartment to the thylakoid lumen, up to four protons moving for each pair of electrons. The result is production of a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane as electrons pass from PSII to PSI. Because the volume of the flattened thylakoid lumen is small, the influx of a small number of protons has a relatively large effect on lumenal pH. The measured difference in pH between the stroma (pH 8) and the thylakoid lumen (pH 5) represents a 1,000-fold difference in proton concentration—a powerful driving force for ATP synthesis. 

It should be noted that the production of formic acid from C02 and H2 proceeds with a net increase in free energy under ambient conditions, but that an increased pressure of H2 and C02 will shift the equilibrium favorably. When alkyl formates or formamides are produced from C02, H2, and the amine or alcohol, the stability of the water formed in the reaction provides a powerful driving force, and the thermodynamics of these reaction are favorable under ambient conditions. 

Incomplete Octets. Even though the formation of the maximum number of covalent bonds is a powerful driving force in the formation of molecules, there are instances of molecules where not all of the available orbitals are used. This then will lead to structures where less than four electron pairs surround an atom. 

Water pressure is a key consideration in terms of the adequacy of application and system operation and maintenance. While some domestic supplies have high pressure systems, most are in need of pressurization, as is water from bodies of water and tanks. Fire pumps are routinely used, most often in multiple installations with different means of power drive (e.g., electric, diesel, or steam). When fire pumps operate at high pressures, there is the potential for leaks and line fracture. Periodic maintenance, including hydrostatic testing, will help minimize the potential for such failures.
