Has a specific location in relation to the seal to optimize the convective flow. 

On starting the pump and motor, the operators control the service of the mechanical seal. The operators and the process engineers have a tremendous influence on the optimal life of the mechanical seal, just as the operator of a car has the most influence over the optimal life of his automobile. The pump must be operated at, or close to it s best efficiency point (BEP) on the pump curve.

Microwave-assisted reactions allow rapid product generation in high yield under uniform conditions. Therefore, they should be ideally suited for parallel synthesis applications. The first example of parallel reactions carried out under microwave irradiation conditions involved the nucleophilic substitution of an alkyl iodide with 60 diverse piperidine or piperazine derivatives (Scheme 4.22) [76]. Reactions were carried out in a multimode microwave reactor in individual sealed polypropylene vials using acetonitrile as solvent. Screening of the resulting 2-aminothiazole library in a herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) assay led to three confirmed hits, demonstrating the potential of this method for rapid lead optimization. 

In this chapter, microwave scale-up to volumes > 100 mL in sealed vessels is discussed. An important issue for the process chemist is the potential for direct seal-ability of microwave reactions, allowing rapid translation of previously optimized small-scale conditions to a larger scale. Several authors have reported independently on the feasibility of directly scaling reaction conditions from small-scale singlemode (typically 0.5-5 mL) to larger scale multimode batch microwave reactors (20-500 mL) without reoptimization of the reaction conditions [24, 87, 92-94],... 

The [2+2+1] cycloaddition of an alkene, an alkyne, and carbon monoxide is known as the Pauson-Khand reaction and is often the method of choice for the preparation of complex cyclopentenones [155]. Groth and coworkers have demonstrated that Pauson-Khand reactions can be carried out very efficiently under microwave heating conditions (Scheme 6.75 a) [156]. Taking advantage of sealed-vessel technology, 20 mol% of dicobalt octacarbonyl was found to be sufficient to drive all of the studied Pauson-Khand reactions to completion, without the need for additional carbon monoxide. The carefully optimized reaction conditions utilized 1.2 equivalents of... 

For preparation of allyl coumarins and dihydrofuranocoumarins by tandem Claisen rearrangement-cyclization the usual procedures required vigorous reaction conditions, workup procedures were tedious, and long reaction times led to low yields. The rearrangement of allyloxycoumarins 48 to dihydrofuranocoumarins 49 has been optimized in good yields in a sealed Teflon containers with BF3-ether in N-methyl-... 

The properties just described make manufactured carbon a very useful material. It is used in applications such as bearings, valve seats, seals, dies, tools, molds, and fixtures. Specific uses of the final object may require materials that have been prepared to optimize certain properties. The fact that manufactured carbon can be prepared in the form of rods, rings, plates, tubes, and other configurations makes it possible to machine parts of many types. Manufactured carbon represents a range of materials that have many important industrial uses. 

Substitution of halogens on heteroaromatic rings is a common way to introduce new functionalities. The product from reaction 6 (Scheme 6) was required on a 100-g scale as an intermediate. In the literature, this exchange was done on a 5-g scale using ammonia in ethanol in a sealed tube under pressure for 6 h at 125-130°C with a yield of 76% (Bendich et al. 1954). Because of the lack of a suitable autoclave for high-pressure reactions, we choose the microwave reactor for scale-up trials. Using our Synthos 3000 equipment, we found suitable conditions with only minimal optimization at 170°C for 180 min and obtained the desired product on a 60-g scale in 83% yield.
