The actual mass balance sum for iron in the CONDOR code includes about 21 Fe-bearing gases. The most important ones in a low-pressure, solar composition gas are Fe, FeS, FeH, and FeO. Analogous forms of equation (6) are written for each element in the code. The a and fj terms in equation (6) are the elemental activities and fugacities of the respective elements, e.g., is the fugacity of hydrogen. 

The discovery of chemical N2 fixation under ambient conditions is more compatible with a simple, complementary, low temperature and low pressure system, possibly operated electrochemically and driven by a renewable energy resource (qv), such as solar, wind, or water power, or other off-peak electrical power, located near or in irrigation streams. Such systems might produce and apply ammonia continuously, eg, directly in the rice paddy, or store it as an increasingly concentrated ammoniacal solution for later appHcation. In fact, the Birkeland-Eyde process of N2 oxidation in an electric arc has been... 

A vacuum system can be constmcted that includes a solar panel, ie, a leak-tight, instmmented vessel having a hole through which a gas vacuum pump operates. An approximate steady-state base pressure is estabUshed without test parts. It is assumed that the vessel with the test parts can be pumped down to the base pressure. The chamber is said to have an altitude potential corresponding to the height from the surface of the earth where the gas concentration is estimated to have the same approximate value as the base pressure of the clean, dry, and empty vacuum vessel. 

In general, the test object caimot be heated above its operating temperature in space. As free molecular conditions are obtained around the object, it outgases and, if solar-spectmm photons impinge on the object, increases the release of gas. Because the object is in a vessel and the area of the hole lea ding to the gas pump is small compared with the projected interior area of the vessel, molecules originating from the test object can return to the test object provided that they do not interact in some manner with the vessel walls and the other components of the molecular environment. The object inside the vessel estabhshes an entirely different system than the clean, dry, and empty vacuum vessel. The new system no longer has the capabiUty to reach the clean, dry, and empty base pressure within a reasonable time. 

Concentration of Seawater by ED. In terms of membrane area, concentration of seawater is the second largest use. Warm seawater is concentrated by ED to 18 to 20% dissolved soHds using membranes with monovalent-ion-selective skins. The EDR process is not used. The osmotic pressure difference between about 19% NaCl solution and partially depleted seawater is about 20,000 kPa (200 atm) at 25°C, which is well beyond the range of reverse osmosis. Salt is produced from the brine by evaporation and crystallisa tion at seven plants in Japan and one each in South Korea, Taiwan, and Kuwait. A second plant is soon to be built in South Korea. None of the plants are justified on economic grounds compared to imported solar or mined salt. 

Thermal expan sion. Equipment and pipehues which are liquid-full under normal operating conditions are subject to hydrauhc expansion if the temperature increases. Common sources of heat that can result in high pressures due to thermal expansion include solar radiation, steam or other heated tracing, heating coils, and heat transfer from other pieces of equipment. 

Fig. 3 shows an idealised solar collector (generator) containing adsorbent which is connected to a condenser that rejects heat to the environment and an insulated box containing a liquid receiver and a flooded evaporator. Fig. 4 shows the p-T-x (pressure - temperature - concentration or Clapeyron diagram) for the adsorbent-adsorbate pair with typical temperatures. 

Lines or equipment which can be left full of liquid under non-flow conditions and which can be heated while completely blocked-in must have some means of relieving pressure built up by thermal expansion of the contained liquid. Solar radiation, as well as other heat sources, must be considered. Lines or equipment which are hotter than ambient when blocked in and which cannot otherwise be heated above the blocked-in temperature do not need protection against liquid thermal expansion. The following are common examples of some thermal expansion mechanisms. 

On July 28,1948, a rail car containing liquefied dimethyl ether ruptured and released its entire contents. The rupture was due to the generation of excessive pressures created by long solar exposure following initial overfilling. The gas was ignited after 10 to 25 seconds. The ensuing vapor cloud explosion caused the death of 207 people and injured 3818. 

The most important single factor in tlie evaporative loss of water is the iiiconiing solar radiation. The vapor pressure (i.e., tlie ma.ximum gaseous... 

Figure 15-29. Chemical structures of the conjugated polymers used in the device and the device structure of the laminated solar cell. For the top half of the device, A1 or Ca was evaporated on glass substrates, and the acceptor material MEH-CN-PPV (and a small amount of POPT, usually 5%) was spin coaled. The half with the POPT (and a small amount of MEH-CN-PPV, usually 5%) was spin coaled on 1TO substrates and heated to 200"C under vacuum belore the device was laminated together by applying a light pressure.

Amorphous Silicon. Amorphous silicon is generally deposited by Reaction (4) at a deposition temperature of 560°C and at low pressure (ca. 1 Torr).P l Helium RF plasma CVD is also commonly used, especially in the production of solar photovoltaic devices.
