The process relationship for the target quantity 32 (or for a) can be formulated either with extensive or intensive quantities. The difference lies in the choice of the process parameter. The dispersion characteristic formulated with extensive quantities uses as the process parameter the extensive quantity stirrer speed and leads, assuming a given geometry (stirrer type D/d, H/d, h/d = const), to the following dependence (the index d indicating the physical properties of the dispersed phase, no index indicating the physical properties of the continuous phase) ...

Table 2.5 presents a summary of stmcture-rheology-fabrication process relationship for commercial fluoropolymers. 

It follows that there are two kinds of processes required for an arbitrary initial state to relax to an equilibrium state the diagonal elements must redistribute to a Boltzmaim distribution and the off-diagonal elements must decay to zero. The first of these processes is called population decay in two-level systems this time scale is called Ty The second of these processes is called dephasmg, or coherence decay in two-level systems there is a single time scale for this process called T. There is a well-known relationship in two level systems, valid for weak system-bath coupling, that... 

Rheology. Flow properties of latices are important during processing and in many latex appHcations such as dipped goods, paint, inks (qv), and fabric coatings. For dilute, nonionic latices, the relative latex viscosity is a power—law expansion of the particle volume fraction. The terms in the expansion account for flow around the particles and particle—particle interactions. For ionic latices, electrostatic contributions to the flow around the diffuse double layer and enhanced particle—particle interactions must be considered (92). A relative viscosity relationship for concentrated latices was first presented in 1972 (93). A review of empirical relative viscosity models is available (92). In practice, latex viscosity measurements are carried out with rotational viscometers (see Rpleologicalmeasurement). 

A wide variety of nonnewtonian fluids are encountered industrially. They may exhibit Bingham-plastic, pseudoplastic, or dilatant behavior and may or may not be thixotropic. For design of equipment to handle or process nonnewtonian fluids, the properties must usually be measured experimentally, since no generahzed relationships exist to pi e-dicl the properties or behavior of the fluids. Details of handling nonnewtonian fluids are described completely by Skelland (Non-Newtonian Flow and Heat Transfer, Wiley, New York, 1967). The generalized shear-stress rate-of-strain relationship for nonnewtonian fluids is given as... 

The separation of components by liquid-liquid extraction depends primarily on the thermodynamic equilibrium partition of those components between the two liquid phases. Knowledge of these partition relationships is essential for selecting the ratio or extraction solvent to feed that enters an extraction process and for evaluating the mass-transfer rates or theoretical stage efficiencies achieved in process equipment. Since two liquid phases that are immiscible are used, the thermodynamic equilibrium involves considerable evaluation of nonideal solutions. In the simplest case a feed solvent F contains a solute that is to be transferred into an extraction solvent S.

All six carbons of glucose are liberated as CO2, and a total of four molecules of ATP are formed thus far in substrate-level phosphorylations. The 12 reduced coenzymes produced up to this point can eventually produce a maximum of 34 molecules of ATP in the electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation pathways. A stoichiometric relationship for these subsequent processes is 1... 

Having ascertained the process steam flow and developed some ideas on the boiler pressure, the following step is to analyze the power available. Figure 15.23 provides a ready means of determining the approximate relationship between power available and process steam for specific steam conditions. Use of this and similar charts will allow an assessment to be made of the potential of a CHP scheme with a backpressure turbine. The conditions can be changed to give the required balance for heat and power. 

To be able to control the PCM properties in the desired direction it is very important to know the relationships between the material composition and properties. Since melt viscosity is one of the most important characteristics of processability of PCM, there have naturally been a large number of equations proposed for describing the viscosity versus filler concentration relationship. For the purpose of this review it may be most interesting to discuss the numerous equations which have in common the use of the value < representing the maximum possible volume filling by filler particles packed in one way or another, as the principal constant. Here are a few examples of such equations. 

In order to understand potential problems and solutions of design, it is helpful to consider the relationships of machine capabilities, plastics processing variables, and product performance (Fig. 1-10). A distinction has to be made here between machine conditions and processing variables. For example, machine conditions include the operating temperature and pressure, mold and die temperature, machine output rate, and so on. Processing variables are more specific, such as the melt condition in the mold or die, the flow rate vs. temperature, and so on (Chapter 8). 

All these thermal properties relate to how to determine the best useful processing conditions to meet product performance requirements. There is a maximum temperature or, to be more precise, a maximum time-to-temperature relationship for all materials preceding loss of performance or decomposition. Figure 7-13 provides a temperature guide for continuous heating of plastics. 

In Chapter 2 (Section 2.2a) we qualitatively described the Carnot cycle, but were not able to quantitatively represent the process on a p— V diagram because we did not know the pressure-volume relationship for a reversible adiabatic process. We now know this relationship (see section 3.3c), and in Figure 3.3, we compare a series of p-V adiabats with different starting temperatures for an...
