Reduction effect

The operating schedule of a gas turbine produces low-frequency thermal fatigue. The number of starts per hours of operating time directly affects the hfe of the hot sections (combustor, turbine nozzles, and blades). The life reduction effect of the number of starts on a combustor liner could be as high as 230 hours/start and on the turbine nozzles as high as 180 hours/start. The effect of full load trips can be nearly 2-3 times as great ... 

A remarkable feature of the Birch reduction of estradiol 3-methyl ether derivatives, as well as of other metal-ammonia reductions, is the extreme rapidity of reaction. Sodium and -butyl alcohol, a metal-alcohol combination having a comparatively slow rate of reduction, effects the reduction of estradiol 3-methyl ether to the extent of 96% in 5 minutes at —33° lithium also effects complete reduction under the same conditions as is to be expected. Shorter reaction times were not studied. At —70°, reduction with sodium occurs to the extent of 56 % in 5 minutes, although reduction with lithium is virtually complete (96%) in the same time. (The slow rates of reduction of compounds of the 5-methoxytetralin type is exemplified by 5-methoxy-tetralin itself with sodium and f-butyl alcohol reduction occurs to the extent of only 50% in 6 hours vs. 99+% with lithium.) The iron catalyzed reaction of sodium with alcohols must be very fast since it competes so well with the rapid Birch reduction. One cannot compensate for the presence of iron in a Birch reduction mixture containing sodium by adding additional metal to extend the reaction time. The iron catalyzed sodium-alcohol reaction is sufficiently rapid that the aromatic steroid still remains largely unreduced. 

Unfortunately, investigations with ionic liquids containing high amounts of AlEtCl2 showed several limitations, including the reductive effect of the alkylaluminium affecting the temperature stability of the nickel catalyst. At very high alkylaluminium concentrations, precipitation of black metallic nickel was observed even at room temperature. 

Erosion processes also may take place, especially where high pressure steam is discharged into low pressure CR lines. The resulting flashing and pressure reduction effects encourage steam impingement around the point of discharge. 

Note that the concentrations of additive oxides differ. No attempt has been made to scale this effect with additive concentration). This curious reduction effect is not easily understood but emphasizes the complex nature of the glasses including the possible cooperative involvement of the multiple components. Similarly complex phenomena might influence leaching behavior in the complex, multicomponent glasses of interest for radioactive waste storage. 

In the extensive literature on polymer drag reduction, it has occasionally been reported that a continuous thread of a high-concentration polymer solution injected into the axis of a pipe produces a drag-reduction effect on the water flow in the pipe [856]. The thread seems to persist through the length of the pipe and little, if any, diffusion of polymer to the walls of the pipe is apparent.

The first experiments on chemoautotrophic theory were carried out by Stetter at the University of Regensburg. It was found that synergy in the FeS/H2S system determined the reductive effect, for example, in the conversion of nitrate to ammonia or of alkynes to alkenes. The conditions used corresponded to those present in hydrothermal systems aqueous phase, 373 K, almost neutral pH and anaerobic conditions (Blochl et al 1992). Two years later, the formation of an amide bond without the use of a condensation agent was successfully demonstrated in the same laboratory (Keller et al 1994).

Early attempts to purify the enzyme brought the quick realization that aconitase is easily inactivated (6,7). In the early 1950 s Dickman and Qoutier (8,9) found that inactivated aconitase could be reactivated by incubation with iron and a reduc-tant. From kinetic analyses of the iron and reductant effects on enzyme activity, Morrison argued that both formed Michaelis-Menten complexes wiA the enzyme (10). This refuted the earlier idea that the sole role of the reductant was to maintain iron in a reduced state (9). Of several metal cations tried, only ferrous ion was found to be capable of this reactivation process (8,11). Because of the absolute requirement for iron in activation, the known chelation properties of citrate, and Ogston s 3-point attachment proposal, Speyer and Dickman proposed that the active site iron provides three coordination sites for substrate binding - one for hydroxyl and two for carboxyl groups (12).

The conditions for synergism in surface tension reduction efficiency, mixed micelle formation, and Surface tension reduction effectiveness in aqueous solution have been derived mathematically together with the properties of the surfactant mixture at the point of maximum synergism. This treatment has been extended to liquid-liquid (aqueous solution/hydrocarbon) systems at low surfactant concentrations.) The effect of chemical structure and molecular environment on the value of B is demonstrated and discussed. 

Synergism in surface tension reduction effectiveness. This exists when the mixture of surfactants of its cmc reaches a lower surface tension than that obtained at the cmc of either component of the mixture by Itself. This is illustrated in Figure 5.
