Removal Rates

In addition to then use in bonded and coated products, both natural and manufactured abrasive grains are used loose in such operations as polishing, buffing, lapping, pressure blasting, and barrel finishing. AH of these operations are characterized by very low metal removal rates and are used to improve the surface quaUty of the workpiece. 

The heated polymer solution emerges as filaments from the spinneret into a column of warm air. Instantaneous loss of solvent from the surface of the filament causes a soHd skin to form over the stiU-Hquid interior. As the filament is heated by the warm air, more solvent evaporates. More than 80% of the solvent can be removed during a brief residence time of less than 1 s in the hot air column. The air column or cabinet height is 2—8 m, depending on the extent of drying required and the extmsion speed. The air flow may be concurrent or countercurrent to the direction of fiber movement. The fiber properties are contingent on the solvent-removal rate, and precise air flow and temperature control are necessary.

Fig. 15. Temperature vs heat generation or removal in estabHshing stationary states. The heavy line (—) shows the effect of reaction temperature on heat-generation rates for an exothermic first-order reaction. Curve A represents a high rate of heat removal resulting in the reactor operating at a low temperature with low conversion, ie, stationary state at a B represents a low rate of heat removal and consequently both a high temperature and high conversion at its stationary state, b and at intermediate heat removal rates, ie, C, multiple stationary states are attainable, c and The stationary state at c ...

High Speed Steels. Toward the latter part of the nineteenth century, a new he at-treatment technique for tool steels was developed in the United States (3,17) that enabled increased metal removal rates and cutting speeds. This material was termed high speed steel (HSS) because it nearly doubled the then maximum cutting speeds of carbon—low alloy steels. Cemented carbides and ceramics have since surpassed the cutting speed capabiUties of HSS by 5—15 times. 

Classified removal of course material also can be used, as shown in Figure 16. In a crystallizer equipped with idealized classified-product removal, crystals above some size ate removed at a rate Z times the removal rate expected for a perfecdy mixed crystallizer, and crystals smaller than are not removed at all. Larger crystals can be removed selectively through the use of an elutriation leg, hydrocyclones, or screens. Using the analysis of classified-fines removal systems as a guide, it can be shown that the crystal population density within the crystallizer magma is given by the equations... 

Although many commercial crystallizers operate with some form of selective crystal removal, such devices can be difficult to operate because of fouling of heat exchanger surfaces or blinding of screens. In addition, several investigations identify interactions between classified fines and course product removal as causes of cycling of a crystal size distribution (7). Often such behavior can be rninirnized or even eliminated by increasing the fines removal rate (63,64). 

As with the case of energy input, detergency generally reaches a plateau after a certain wash time as would be expected from a kinetic analysis. In a practical system, each of its numerous components has a different rate constant, hence its rate behavior generally does not exhibit any simple pattern. Many attempts have been made to fit soil removal (50) rates in practical systems to the usual rate equations of physical chemistry. The rate of soil removal in the Launder-Ometer could be reasonably well described by the equation of a first-order chemical reaction, ie, the rate was proportional to the amount of removable soil remaining on the fabric (51,52). In a study of soil removal rates from artificially soiled fabrics in the Terg-O-Tometer, the percent soil removal increased linearly with the log of cumulative wash time. 

CO conversion is a function of both temperature and catalyst volume, and increases rapidly beginning at just under 100°C until it reaches a plateau at about 150°C. But, unlike NO catalysts, above 150°C there is Htde benefit to further increasing the temperature (44). Above 150°C, the CO conversion is controUed by the bulk phase gas mass transfer of CO to the honeycomb surface. That is, the catalyst is highly active, and its intrinsic CO removal rate is exceedingly greater than the actual gas transport rate (21). When the activity falls to such an extent that the conversion is no longer controUed by gas mass transfer, a decline of CO conversion occurs, and a suitable regeneration technique is needed (21).

Electrochemical corrosion is understood to include all corrosion processes that can be influenced electrically. This is the case for all the types of corrosion described in this handbook and means that data on corrosion velocities (e.g., removal rate, penetration rate in pitting corrosion, or rate of pit formation, time to failure of stressed specimens in stress corrosion) are dependent on the potential U [5]. Potential can be altered by chemical action (influence of a redox system) or by electrical factors (electric currents), thereby reducing or enhancing the corrosion. Thus exact knowledge of the dependence of corrosion on potential is the basic hypothesis for the concept of electrochemical corrosion protection processes. 

These corrosion parameters have to be modified for time- and place-related reaction velocities [6]. Different local removal rates are in general due to differences in composition or nonuniform surface films, where both thermodynamic and... 

In soils the constituents restrict diffusion so that in general rises to over 5 mm. The removal rate is mostly below 30 /xm a [11-13]. The danger of corrosion in soil is generally local corrosion through cell formation or by anodic influence (see Fig. 2-5) and can lead to removal rates of from a few tenths of a millimeter to several millimeters/year. 

The above statement is obvious. Almost as evident is the statement that since heat generation rate increases with temperature, heat removal rate should increase even faster. This would eliminate continued temperature increase and prevent temperature runaways. 

These requirements can be derived from the above conditions. On the left hand side, the temperature derivative of the heat removal rate can be calculated if the flow over the catalyst is known. This is possible in recycle reactors. On the right hand side, the inequalities represent the two stability criteria, which contain three derivatives ... 

On this table, the Arrhenius number E/RT was designated by e, but this symbol is already used in this book for the empty fraction in a packed bed. The correct symbol for E/RT = y is used here. On the last line in this table the derivative of the heat removal rate is given ... 

The original van Heerden diagram, as presented in his paper of 1953, was constructed for an adiabatic reactor case. In that case, at fixed feed temperature, there was a different slope (representing heat removal rate) for each feed rate. There was also a different heat generation versus temperature... 

With a high heat removal rate, corresponding to an almost vertical line, as was the case in the experiments in the CSTR, the full heat generation curve could be measured. An intersection could be achieved between the heat generation curve and the very steep heat removal line at the point where the non-existent middle point was, but this was just one of the many stable solutions possible and not an unstable point. ... 

Controlling the extraction rate is vital because the shape and texture of the resultant fiber is directly influenced by the solvent removal rate. As the solvent is extracted from the surface of the fiber, significant concentration gradients can form. These gradients may result in a warping of the desired eircular shape of the fiber. For example, if the solvent is removed too quickly, the fiber tends to collapse into a dog-bone shape. Additionally, the solvent extraction rate influences the development of internal voids or flaws in the fiber. These flaws limit the tensile strength of the fibers. 

Sinee the generation rate is exponential whereas the removal rate is linear, for any exothermie reaetion in a speeifie reaetor eonfiguration a eritieal eondition may exist, i.e. a value of beyond whieh runaway oeeurs. 

If it is required that the surface of the sample remains undisturbed during analysis, SIMS must be carried out at very low surface removal rates, typically about 10 monolayer/s. The terms static and dynamic are used to divide the sputtering rate of the sample into regimes where only surface species are observed (static SIMS) or where surface and bulk species are observed (dynamic SIMS). The static limit is usually considered to be <10 ions/cm impinging on the sample surface. Under these conditions, only about 1/1000 atoms on the surface of the sample are struck by a primary ion. 

For the special case of a uniform wind, where and are constants, an isolated source located at (0,0,H) continuously emits a mass per unit time of species i at a constant rate Q, and the removal rate from internal sinks is governed by linear processes, C, = -C /tj. with t. being a characteristic decay time.
