Factors affecting rate

The total time of wetness, the composition of the electrolyte, and the temperature determines the corrosion rate. Factors affecting the time of wetness and the composition of the electrolyte film will be discussed later. 

The exposure interval for the bed, T, is inversely proportional to the kiln rotation rate. Hence, equation 21 shows that the time constant for desorption is directly proportional to the bed depth and inversely proportional to the square root of the kiln rotation rate. However, the overriding factor affecting is the isotherm constant iC which in general decreases exponentially with increasing temperature as in equation 4. 

Adsorption Kinetics. In zeoHte adsorption processes the adsorbates migrate into the zeoHte crystals. First, transport must occur between crystals contained in a compact or peUet, and second, diffusion must occur within the crystals. Diffusion coefficients are measured by various methods, including the measurement of adsorption rates and the deterniination of jump times as derived from nmr results. Factors affecting kinetics and diffusion include channel geometry and dimensions molecular size, shape, and polarity zeoHte cation distribution and charge temperature adsorbate concentration impurity molecules and crystal-surface defects. 

Scale-Up Principles. Key factors affecting scale-up of reactor performance are nature of reaction zones, specific reaction rates, and mass- and heat-transport rates to and from reaction sites. Where considerable uncertainties exist or large quantities of products are needed for market evaluations, intermediate-sized demonstration units between pilot and industrial plants are usehil. Matching overall fluid flow characteristics within the reactor might determine the operative criteria. Ideally, the smaller reactor acts as a volume segment of the larger one. Elow distributions are not markedly influenced by... 

Factors affecting RO membrane separations and water flux include feed variables such as solute concentration, temperature, pH, and pretreatment requirements membrane variables such as polymer type, module geometry, and module arrangement and process variables such as feed flow rate, operating time and pressure, and water recovery. 

In all cases, water and carbonic acid, the latter of which is the source of protons, are the main reactants. The net result of the reaction is the release of cations (Ca " ), Mg ", K", Na" ) and the production of alkalinity via HCO. When ferrous iron is present in the lattice, as in biotite, oxygen consumption may become an important factor affecting the weathering mechanism and the rate of dissolution. 

Many factors affect dry deposition, but for computational convenience air quaUty models resort to using a single quantity called the deposition velocity, designated or to prescribe the deposition rate. The deposition velocity is defined such that the flux T of species i to the ground is... 

The characteristics of WC, especially grain size, are determined by purity, particle shape and grain size of the starting material, and the conditions employed for reduction and carburization. The course of the reaction WO3 — W — WC is dependent on temperature, gas flow rates, water-vapor concentration in the gas, and the depth of the powder bed. All these factors affect the coarsening of the grain. 

Discrimination between exposed and unexposed areas in this process requires the selection of thia zolidine compounds that do not readily undergo alkaline hydrolysis in the absence of silver ions. In a study of model compounds, the rates of hydrolysis of model /V-methyl thia zolidine and A/-octadecyl thiazolidine compounds were compared (47). An alkaline hydrolysis half-life of 33 min was reported for the /V-methyl compound, a half-life of 5525 min (3.8 days) was reported for the corresponding V/-octadecyl compound. Other factors affecting the kinetics include the particular silver ligand chosen and its concentration (48). Polaroid Spectra film introduced silver-assisted thiazolidine cleavage to produce the yellow dye image (49), a system subsequentiy used in 600 Plus and Polacolor Pro 100 films. 

The heat-transfer performance capacity of cylinder diyers is not easy to estimate without a knowledge of the sheet tenmerature, which, in turn, is difficult to predict. According to published data, steam temperature is the largest single factor affecting capacity. Overall evaporation rates based on the total surface area of the diyers cover a range of 3.4 to 23 kg water/(h m ) [0.7 to 4.8 lb water/(h fF)]. 

Determination of Controlling Rate Factor The most important physical variables determining the controlhng dispersion factor are particle size and structure, flow rate, fluid- and solid-phase diffu-sivities, partition ratio, and fluid viscosity. When multiple resistances and axial dispersion can potentially affect the rate, the spreading of a concentration wave in a fixed bed can be represented approximately... 

Quantities of Solid Wastes Representative data on the quantities of sohd wastes and factors affecting the generation rates are considered briefly in the following paragraphs. 

Providing quantitative estimates of NHj emissions is necessarily rather uncertain, because of the wide range of variability in the sources as well as in factors affecting the emission rate. In the case of livestock emissions, the obvious scaling parameter is the number of animals in a particular area and emissions estimates... 

How these factors affect erosion can be determined from the empirical equation shown in Table 4-14. The equation shows erosion rate proportional to a constant, the mass of the particle, its velocity, and angle of attack.
