Resistant coating velocities

Panel filters may use either viscous or dry filter media. Viscous filters are so called because the filter medium is coated with a tacky liquid of high viscosity (e.g., mineral oil and adhesives) to retain the dust. The filter pad consists of an assembly of coarse fibers (now usually metal, glass, or plastic). Because the fibers are coarse and the media are highlv porous, resistance to air flow is low and high filtration velocities can be used. 

Dry filters are usually deeper than viscous filters. The dry filter media use finer fibers and have much smaller pores than the viscous media and need not rely on an oil coating to retain collected dust. Because of their greater resistance to air flow, dry filters must use lower filtration velocities to avoid excessive pressure drops. Hence, dry media must have larger surface areas and are usually pleated or arranged in the form of pockets (Fig. 17-64), generally sheets of cellulose pulp, cotton, felt, or spun glass. 

Plasma Plating—deposition on critical areas of metal coatings resistant to wear and abrasion normally this is done by means of a high velocity and high-temperature ionized inert gas jet. 

In chemical micro process technology with porous catalyst layers attached to the channel walls, convection through the porous medium can often be neglected. When the reactor geometry allows the flow to bypass the porous medium it will follow the path of smaller hydrodynamic resistance and will not penetrate the pore space. Thus, in micro reactors with channels coated with a catalyst medium, the flow velocity inside the medium is usually zero and heat and mass transfer occur by diffusion alone. 

Sulfur probe An ionization probe coated with a thin layer of molten sulfur on its conducting tip is used for measurement of shock velocity (Figure 3.18b). This is a special probe which is used in the conducting medium (Sulfur is non-conducting at ambient pressure but becomes conducting at shock pressures as its resistance decreases drastically at such pressures). This property of sulfur allows the R-C network to generate an electrical pulse at the time of arrival of shock wave. 

The last term accounts for the resistance to mass transfer in the gas phase. Low-loaded liquid coatings cause the Cg term to be significant. Equation 2.82 was further extended to account for velocity distributions due to retarded gas flow in the layers (C ) and the interaction of the two types of gas resistance (C2) ... 

The steady-state viscosity is a pragmatic way of predicting certain key properties of a sample. If the stresses used in the creep experiment are well chosen they will reflect the stresses applied to the sample by the action of gravity. Thus, the viscosity under these circumstances will help predict the ability of the material to resist sagging on a vertical surface (coatings). Other uses include prediction of sedimentation velocity or creaming velocity in two-phase dispersions. The ability of a paint to level out and therefore remove brush marks by... 

High velocities of aqueous solutions impinging on copper and brass tubes produce impingement on the metal or alloy. The aluminum brass and cupronickel alloys have great resistance to flow-induced attack up to a well-defined maximum for the flow rate, beyond which the film on the metal surface will be disrupted. Admiralty brass and aluminum brass have lower values for maximum velocity of flow than cupronickels. Admiralty brass and aluminum brass are preferred to cupronickels for use in media containing sulfide species. Coatings have been developed for cupronickel and aluminum brass condenser tubes for land-based and marine systems. 

Both austenitic and super SS s have excellent resistance to erosion-corrosion in velocities up to 85 ft/s (26 m/s). Usually, copper base alloys are not considered because of poor resistance to hydrogen sulfide/10 poor resistance to erosion, and low strength. Prevention of corrosion by coatings is usually impractical in production equipment because of limited life, as described previously, and because the coating can be blown off by sudden depressurization when the operating pressure is above -650 psi (4,480 kPa).
