Relative gravity

Figure 2.9. Illustration of relative gravity rules influencing cells A and B...

The gravity rules were described in Chapter 2. They are selected to impart a different orientation among molecules X and Y. If the gravity rule, Gr(XY) favors X over Y, then X molecules will tend to be the upper layer. The relationship of up and down for relative gravity now requires a reference in the grid construction for these gravity rules to be operative. There must be an upper and a lower boundary on the grid. Therefore, the X and Y molecules cannot pass... 

Figure 9 Illustration of the relative gravity parameter, (a) Occupant A may move to an empty cell with probabilities north 0.174, east 0.445, south 0.379, or west 0.000, or it may also exchange positions with cell B with probability 0.379. (b) The grid configuration after cell A exchanges with cell B. The parameters used are Pb(AB) = 0.8, /(AB) = 0.5, /(AB) = 2.0, absG(A) = 0, and G D(AB) = 1.5.

Since photons are absorbed to change the spin projection of an electron from —1/2 to+1/2, the spin of the photon must be 1. The graviton has been postulated to carry a spin of 2, because of the symmetry of the equations in Einstein s general theory of relativity (gravity comes from the rank-2 stress-energy tensor). 

Chapter 21 achieves this collective human health hazard characterization for lead via a ranking of the component human adverse health effects with respect to thoroughness and quality of the data, the relative sensitivity or ranges of sensitivities of the toxic responses with reference to typical ambient or occupational Pb exposures, the relative gravity of the toxic response in terms of both injury and persistence/irreversibiUty, and reliable supporting evidence from experimental and mechanistic data. 

Relative density (specific gravity) of bituminous materials NF T 66-007 ASTM D 70 Pycnometer... 

Density is the most commonly measured property of a gas, and is obtained experimentally by measuring the specific gravity of the gas (density of the gas relative to air = 1). As pressure increases, so does gas density, but the relationship is non-linear since the dimensionless gas compressibility (z-factor) also varies with pressure. The gas density (pg) can be calculated at any pressure and temperature using the real gas law ... 

Ethylene. Under the influence of pressure and a catalyst, ethylene yields a white, tough but flexible waxy sohd, known as Polythene. Polyethylene possesses excellent electric insulation properties and high water resistance it has a low specific gravity and a low softening point (about 110°). The chemical inertness oi Polythene has found application in the manufacture of many items of apparatus for the laboratory. It is a useful lubricant for ground glass connexions, particularly at relatively high temperatures. 

Fig. 4. Terminal velocities in air of spherical particles of different densities settling at 21°C under the action of gravity. Numbers on curves represent tme (not bulk or apparent) specific gravity of particles relative to water at 4°C. Stokes-Cunningham correction factor is included for settling of fine particles.

True Density or Specific Gravity. The average mass per unit volume of the individual particles is called the tme density or specific gravity. This property is most important when volume or mass of the filled composition is a key performance variable. The tme density of fillers composed of relatively large, nonporous, spherical particles is usually determined by a simple Hquid displacement method. Finely divided, porous, or irregular fillers should be measured using a gas pycnometer to assure that all pores, cracks, and crevices are penetrated. 

In gravity thickening, large and relatively fragile floes are needed to aUow high settling rates and fast coUapse in the compression zone. 

Positive Pumps. Positive pumps employed by the food industry have a rotating cavity between two lobes, two gears that rotate in opposite directions, or a crescent or stationary cavity and a rotor. Rotary positive pumps operate at relatively low speed. Fluid enters the cavity by gravity flow or from a centrifugal pump. The positive pump also may use a reciprocating cavity, and may be a plunger or piston pump. These pumps are not truly positive with respect to displacement, but are used for metering product flow. 

The gravity-displacement-type autoclave rehes on the relative nonmiscibility of steam and air to allow the steam that enters to rise to the top of the chamber and fill it. The air is pushed out through the steam-discharge line located at the bottom of the chamber. Gravity-displacement autoclaves are utilized for the sterilization of Hquids and for unwrapped nonhoUow medical instmments at 134°C.
