Fig. 10 Schematic of temperature distributions in a flat ceramic slab of thickness L for volumetric microwave heating (top curve) and conventional heating from the slab surfaces (bottom curve). For conventional heating, the finite value of thermal conductivity, k, gives the highest temperatures near the specimen surface and the lowest temperature along the specimen s midplane. Conversely, for microwave heating the heating is more uniform, with decreasing temperature near the slab surface because of heat losses from the surfaces.

The concept of temperature derives from a fact of conmron experience, sometimes called the zeroth law of themiodynamics , namely, if tM o systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. To clarify this point, consider the tliree systems shown schematically in figure A2.1.1, in which there are diathemiic walls between systems a and y and between systems p and y, but an adiabatic wall between systems a and p.

Schematic illustrations of the effect of temperature and surface density (time) on the ratio of two isotopes, (a) shows that, generally, there is a fractionation of the two isotopes as time and temperature change the ratio of the two isotopes changes throughout the experiment and makes difficult an assessment of their precise ratio in the original sample, (b) illustrates the effect of gradually changing the temperature of the filament to keep the ratio of ion yields linear, which simplifies the task of estimating the ratio in the original sample. The best method is one in which the rate of evaporation is low enough that the ratio of the isotopes is virtually constant this ratio then relates exactly to the ratio in the original sample.

A schematic of a continuous bulk SAN polymerization process is shown in Figure 4 (90). The monomers are continuously fed into a screw reactor where copolymerization is carried out at 150°C to 73% conversion in 55 min. Heat of polymerization is removed through cooling of both the screw and the barrel walls. The polymeric melt is removed and fed to the devolatilizer to remove unreacted monomers under reduced pressure (4 kPa or 30 mm Hg) and high temperature (220°C). The final product is claimed to contain less than 0.7% volatiles. Two devolatilizers in series are found to yield a better quaUty product as well as better operational control (91,92).

Advanced Cracking Reactor. The selectivity to olefins is increased by reducing the residence time. This requires high temperature or reduction of the hydrocarbon partial pressure. An advanced cracking reactor (ACR) was developed jointly by Union Carbide with Kureha Chemical Industry and Chiyoda Chemical Constmction Co. (72). A schematic of this reactor is shown in Figure 6. The key to this process is high temperature, short residence time, and low hydrocarbon partial pressure. Superheated steam is used as the heat carrier to provide the heat of reaction. The burning of fuel...

The work required to drive the turbine eompressor is reduced by lowering the compressor inlet temperature thus increasing the output work of the turbine. Figure 2-35 is a schematic of the evaporative gas turbine and its effect on the Brayton cycle. The volumetric flow of most turbines is constant and therefore by increasing the mass flow, power increases in an inverse proportion to the temperature of the inlet air. The psychometric chart shown shows that the cooling is limited especially in high humid conditions. It is a very low cost option and can be installed very easily. This technique does not however increase the efficiency of the turbine. The turbine inlet temperature is lowered by about 18 °F (10 °C), if the outside temperature is around 90 °F (32 °C). The cost of an evaporative cooling system runs around 50/kw. 

The majority of the NOx produced in the combustion chamber is called thermal NOx. It is produced by a series of chemical reactions between the nitrogen (N2) and the oxygen (O2) in the air that occur at the elevated temperatures and pressures in gas turbine combustors. The reaction rates are highly temperature dependent, and the NOx production rate becomes significant above flame temperatures of about 3300 °F (1815 °C). Figure 10-19 shows schematically, flame temperatures and therefore NOx production... 

Figure 10-24 shows a schematic of an actual dry low emission NO combustor used by ALSTOM in their large turbines. With the flame temperature being much closer to the lean limit than in a conventional combustion system, some action has to be taken when the engine load is reduced to prevent flame out. If no action were taken flame-out would occur since the mixture strength would become too lean to burn.
