Figure 9.2-2 shows a data input screen in which general characteristics are input by radio buttons and numerical data is typed. The program calculates distances to specified in.sic concentrations and other requested consequence levels automatically. Results are available in a variety of formats including cloud footprints, sideview, cross section, pool evaporation rate, concentration vs distance and heat flux contours. Figure 9.2-3 shows the calculated results as a toxic plume. superimposed on the map with and without oligomerization. 

In the selection of control equipment, the most important waste-gas characteristics are volumetric flow rate, concentration and composition of organic compounds in the waste-gas, waste-gas temperature and humidity, and rbe content of particulate matter, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and toxic pollutants. Other factors influencing the equipment selection are the required removal efficiency, recovery requirements, investment and operating costs, ease of installation, and considerations of operation and maintenance. The selection of a suitable control method is based on the fundamental selection criteria presented as well as the special characteristics of the project.

For a reaction whose rate-concentration curve rises monotonically (any nth-order reaction, n > 0) the reactors should be connected in series. They should be ordered so as to keep the concentration of reactant as high as possible if the rate-concentration curve is concave (n > 1), and as low as possible if the curve is convex n < 1). 

For reactions where the rate-concentration curve passes through a maximum or minimum... 

After start-up, the system should be checked at least weekly, with some observations, notably in the early phases, requiring daily monitoring. Information such as ground-water levels, extraction and injection flow rates, groundwater electron acceptor concentrations, nutrient concentrations, pH, and conductivity should be recorded at least on a weekly basis. Complete records of rates, concentrations, electrical usage, and other operational data can be invaluable when evaluating operational efficiency or documenting unit costs. 

Both the pre-irradiation and simultaneous irradiation procedures have been utilised for this purpose, however the latter technique is the more flexible and more extensively investigated. In the simultaneous procedure, the monomer, usually in the presence of solvent, is simultaneously irradiated in contact with the backbone polymer. The predominant variables which influence the grafting yield include radiation dose and dose-rate, concentration of monomer in solvent and the structures of both monomer and backbone polymer. 

The complex and incompletely understood phenomena of cool flames and then-close relationship with autoignition processes is discussed in considerable detail. As the temperature of mixtures of organic vapours with air is raised, the rate of autoxidation (hydroperoxide formation) will increase, and some substances under some circumstances of heating rate, concentration and pressure will generate cool flames at up to 200° C or more below their normally determined AIT. Cool flames (peroxide decomposition processes) are normally only visible in the dark, are of low temperature and not in themselves hazardous. However, quite small changes in thermal flux, pressure, or composition may cause transition to hot flame conditions, usually after some delay, and normal ignition will then occur if the composition of the mixture is within the flammable limits. 

Delineation of the operational parameters was achieved using computer simulations as described in Section 4.1.3.1. The values of K j (determined experimentally), the initial reactor volume, and the initial concentration of NADP were fed into the program. Employing the conclusions obtained from the theoretical simulations, the other parameters (i.e., flow rates, concentration range of the substrates, and Vmj values) were calculated according to the output signal desired. 

Reaction optimization was achieved by varying flow rate, concentration and the reaction exotherm temperature. In this way glycidol nitration reactions were scaled-up from 0.85 moles up to 40.5 moles. In a single run 4.64 kg of glycidyl nitrate (99.8 % yield) of 99.9 % purity was produced. Similar optimization for HMMO nitration produced 5.5 kg of NIMMO (99.1 % yield) of 99.6 % purity in a single run.

Let us illustrate the use of this method by considering three mixed flow reactors in series with volumes, feed rates, concentrations, space-times (equal to residence times because e = 0), and volumetric flow rates as shown in Fig. 6.7. Now from Eq. 5.11, noting that e = 0, we may write for component A in the first reactor... 

For reactions where the rate-concentration curve passes through a maximum or minimum the arrangement of units depends on the actual shape of curve, the conversion level desired, and the units available. No simple rules can be suggested. 

Reactions with such rate-concentration curves lead to interesting optimization problems. In addition, they provide a good illustration of the general design method presented in this chapter. For these reasons let us examine these reactions in some detail. In our approach we deal exclusively with their ll(-rj ) versus curves with their characteristic minima, as shown in Fig. 6.18.

For autocatalytic reactions all sorts of reactor arrangements are to be considered if product recycle or product separation with recycle is allowable. In general, for a rate-concentration curve as shown in Fig. 6.21 one should always try to reach point M in one step (using mixed flow in a single reactor), then follow with plug flow or as close to plug flow as possible. This procedure is shown as the shaded area in Fig. 6.21a.

Their physicochemical properties and the individual factors that we need to evaluate the equations of Box 23.1 are listed in Table 23.4. Except for the measurements that are specific for Lake Superior (input rates, concentrations of PCBs, composition of the particles determining, etc.), all the data were derived from information given in this book either in tables (e.g., Henry s Law constants) or indirectly by approximative relationships (e.g., Kd =foc K. ). More details are given in the footnotes to Table 23.4.
