Average Static Pressure

Spectra measured using phase-sensitive detection when a periodic perturbation is applied frequency domain) as well as spectra measured as a function of time (a time domain) or any other state parameter of the system (e.g., a temperature, pressure, strain, distance, concentration domain) are referred to, by convention, as dynamic spectra to distinguish them from ordinary static (average) spectra. Dynamic spectra can offer an advanced opportunity for separating contributions of different subsystems to spectra of complex systems and quantifying the characteristic half-lives of these subsystems. This opportunity is especially valuable when complex spectra such as the spectra of electrode-electrolyte interfaces and biological films are interpreted. Below we will consider interpretation of dynamic IR spectra, while the technical side of the problem is discussed in Section 4.9. 

With flow in curved passages or with swirling flow, determination of a true average static pressure is, in general, impractical. In metering, straightening vanes are often placed upstream of the pressure tap to eliminate swirl. Fig. 10-2 shows various flow equalizers and straight-eners.

It should be noted that there is a considerable difference between rotational structure narrowing caused by pressure and that caused by motional averaging of an adiabatically broadened spectrum [158, 159]. In the limiting case of fast motion, both of them are described by perturbation theory, thus, both widths in Eq. (3.16) and Eq (3.17) are expressed as a product of the frequency dispersion and the correlation time. However, the dispersion of the rotational structure (3.7) defined by intramolecular interaction is independent of the medium density, while the dispersion of the vibrational frequency shift (5 12) in (3.21) is linear in gas density. In principle, correlation times of the frequency modulation are also different. In the first case, it is the free rotation time te that is reduced as the medium density increases, and in the second case, it is the time of collision tc p/ v) that remains unchanged. As the density increases, the rotational contribution to the width decreases due to the reduction of t , while the vibrational contribution increases due to the dispersion growth. In nitrogen, they are of comparable magnitude after the initial (static) spectrum has become ten times narrower. At 77 K the rotational relaxation contribution is no less than 20% of the observed Q-branch width. If the rest of the contribution is entirely determined by... 

In the case of a flowing fluid the mechanical pressure is not necessarily the same as the thermodynamic pressure as is the case in a static fluid. The pressure in a flowing fluid is defined as the average of the normal stress components. In the case of inelastic fluids, the normal stress components are equal and therefore, with the negative sign convention, equal to the pressure. It is for this reason that the pressure can be used in place of the normal stress when writing force balances for inelastic liquids, as was done in Examples 1.7-1.9. 

Gong and Cao described A. annua SEE of artemisinin (1) in SCCO2 determined by static method at three temperatures (313, 323 and 333 K) and pressures varying between 11 and 31 MPa. The solubility data ranged from 0.498 x 10 to 2.915 x 10 mol/mol under these conditions. Two density-based models (Chrastil s and Mendez-Sanfiago-Teja s) were selected to correlate the experimental data and the average absolute relative deviation was 8.32% and 8.33%, respectively. The correlation results were in agreement with experimental data. 

Figure A3.3 is a plot of average void fraction, a, versus the dimensionless superficial velocity, for the different flow regimes and values of C0. The correlations presented here may overestimate level swell for pure vapour pressure systems if there is a non-boiling region (in which static head suppresses boiling) at the bottom of the reactor. This is conservative for relief system sizing and is discussed further by DIERS151.

Step 17. The air-side static pressure loss DPAT (inches of water) is calculated in this step. First consider the fact that almost all average air-side temperatures are in the range of 90 to 150°F. An air-density ratio of elevated levels to sea level DR is needed, which is to be taken at this average air-side temperature. We can easily determine DR by taking a linear interpolation of Table 5.5. 

It is simple to multiply DPA by the number of tube rows WKOws to get the total static air-side pressure loss DPAT (inches of water). First, however, the correction for air density must be factored. Here apply the air-density ratio DR, which is given in Table 5.5. Equation (5.48) is based on a DPA value calculated from an air density at 70°F and at 0 ft elevation. It is therefore necessary to correct this DPA value with a DR value determined at the average air-side temperature Tavg.
