Rotational accommodation

Fig. 4. Laser-induced nuorescence detected TPD for NO/Pt(l 11) for 0 , = 0.40 (saturation coverage). NO(i = 0 F, J = 4.S, n(A ) , s=40cm ) was probed. The instantaneous rotational temperatures obtained for 20 K intervals in are plotted against 7. The solid line corresponds to full rotational accommodation, Tf = Tj.

Extrapolation of the picosecond simulations would imply that isothermal and laser-induced desorption results should be in qualitative agreement for nonspecific heating pulses of 1 to 10 ns duration. Of course this may not hold if all desorption occurs during the leading edge of the laser pulse or if the desorption process is driven by a nonthermal maihanism. Nevertheless, incomplete equilibration is not expected to play a major role for translational or rotational accommodations if the residence times are longer than 10 ns. 

The NO LID results on Pt(lll), Pd(lll) and Pt(foil) are strongly marked both by their dramatic similarities and their subtle differences. All exhibit a thermal LID component with high degrees of translational and rotational accommodation. For the Pt substrates the non-Boltzmann component exhibits (1) anomolously high, state-dependent kinetic energies (2) spin-orbit...

Ship-shaped FPSOs must be designed to weather vane i.e. must have the ability to rotate in the direction of wind or current. This requires complex mooring systems and the connections with the well heads must be able to accommodate the movement. The mooring systems can be via a single buoy or, in newer vessels designed for the harsh environments of the North Sea, via an internal or external turret. Figure 10.33 shows a schematic of the Shell-BP Foinaven FPSO. 

Industrial and institutional floor care demands poHshes that accommodate the needs of machine-centered maintenance. The development of machines that buff or burnish with rotational speeds from 1000 to 2000 rpm has produced poHsh formulations that are balanced to accommodate the process (32—36). 

Vlanv process machines operate at speeds diFFerent From the one oF their drivers. Typical oF cases where the machine rotates. dower than the driver are reciprocating compressors typical examples oF machines rotating/ js / er than the drivers are centriFiigal compressors driven bv electric motors. In either case, ear. are used to match the two speeds, (iears can also be designed to accommodate shaFts that... 

Rotor diameters, or quasi journals, include dimensions ranging from 14 mm (0.55 in.) to 600 mm (24 in.). Similarly, the load range accommodated by radial magnetic bearings is 0.3 N (0.007 lb) to 200 kN (45,000 lb). Rotational speeds range from a virtual standstill to as high as 800,000 rpm. 

Modem apparatus are equipped with a rotating table to accommodate the TLC plate above the base of the reaction chamber This means that microwaves can penetrate the TLC plate from below through the glass plate or plastic film Aluminium foil backings are not suitable They reflect the radiation and high potentials are built up between the aluminium foil and the wall of the reaction chamber, these result in electrical discharges... 

Figure 12.16), can insert between the stacked base pairs of DNA. The bases are forced apart to accommodate these so-called intercalating agents, causing an unwinding of the helix to a more ladderlike structure. The deoxyribose-phosphate backbone is almost fully extended as successive base pairs are displaced 0.7 nm from one another, and the rotational angle about the helix axis between adjacent base pairs is reduced from 36° to 10°. 

In a front-wheel-drive car, the drive wheels experience not only the road-induced vertical motion of the rear wheels hut also must rotate about a vertical axis to accommodate steering. Several different configurations of constant-velocity universal joints have been developed to manage such motion. These constant-velocity joints are larger and more expensive than the joint described above. 

Thus the trans relationship between the hydroxymethyl group and the C-l hydroxy group in a-D-glucopyranose, and the cis relationship between the methyl group and the C-l hydroxy group in P-L-fucopyranose, are clearly shown. Note that representation of ketoses may require a different modification of the Fischer projection, as shown in the fructofuranose example above. Here C-2 is rotated about the bond with C-3 to accommodate the long bond to C-2 from the oxygen at C-5.
