Separation criterion

The separation of two components, say i and is readily achievable if (1) the concentration cf of i in its preferred phase or region /3 well exceeds its concentration c in phase a, cf/c 1, and (2) component j partitions preferentially in a so that Cy/c 1. Effective separation requires that the ratio a of those two quantities be large a 1. The ratio a can be written in the two forms 

The separation factor is a useful index describing the differential accumulation of two components in two well-defined regions. It is applicable whether the components are dilute or concentrated. However, it is specific to each component pair by differing in value from pair to pair it provides minimal information about the global capabilities of the separation step. 

Analytical separations generally evolve over a continuum of space rather than over space divided into a few discrete elements. In chromatography 

Resolution, like the separation factor, differs for each specific component pair and therefore fails as a global criterion of separation. For analytical separations, more universal criteria have evolved, such as plate height, number of plates, rate of generation of plates, and peak capacity (Chapter 5). While these indices differ somewhat from one component to another, they effectively establish a ballpark figure of merit for different systems and different conditions of operation.

Various partitions, resulted from the different combinations of clustering parameters. The estimation of the number of classes and the selection of optimum clustering is based on separability criteria such as the one defined by the ratio of the minimum between clusters distance to the maximum of the average within-class distances. In that case the higher the criterion value the more separable the clustering. By plotting the criterion value vs. the number of classes and/or the algorithm parameters, the partitions which maximise the criterion value is identified and the number of classes is estimated.

Interaction between failure modes is treated instead of separate criteria for failure like the maximum stress or maximum strain failure criteria. 

Once growth factors were determined, it was possible to calculate the so-called basic allocation . This basic allocation represents the vast majority of allowances to be allocated other factors influencing the total were relatively minor. The allocation plan included adjustments to reflect early action and combined heat and power (CHP) (see below). As this adjustment had to be made within the projected ( expected ) emissions, it was necessary to deduct allowances for these bonuses from this projected allocation. In total 4.5% was deducted (3% early action, 1.5% CHP). Early action and CHP bonuses were allocated back to companies on the basis of separate criteria, influencing allocation at sectoral and company level, but not the total. 

Determine the target separation criteria. What purity and recovery are needed for the various components in the feed stream For a feasible separation process, what is the separation factor based on the property difference chosen For an equilibrium-based process, this would be the separation factor for one stage. 

Establish separation criteria means determining product purities, or feed component recoveries, or some combination of the two. A cogent comment here is that one should look down the road to anticipate future changes in product purity requirements, variations in feed composition, shifts in throughput rates, and so on. 

Since the speed near the surface in a laminar boundary layer has a lower velocity than its turbulent counterpart, the laminar boundary layer is more likely to separate. When this occurs, the laminar boundary layer leaves the surface and usually undergoes a transition to a turbulent flow away from the surface. This process takes place over a certain distance that is inversely related to Re, but if it happens quickly enough, the flow may reattach as a turbulent boundary layer and continue along the surface. To compute when the separation will occur, we can solve the Navier-Stokes equations or apply one of the several separation criteria to the solutions of the boundary layer equations. 

Shaik and co-workers have predicted, using valence bond correlation, that in f) /, symmetry is unstable, and that it easily distorts from this symmetry <87JA363,88IC2219>. This result is supported, using (j-n separability criteria, by Jug and Koester <90JA6772>. This study predicts that, in Ng, the Tj-electrons have a much higher tendency to localize than in benzene. Consequently the potential curve for is quite flat, and little energy is needed to distort it. Thus, N5 is only metastable on the potential surface, and easily dissociates into SNj. 

A summary of intraparticle transport criteria is given in Table 7.2. The most general of the criteria, 5(a) of Table 7.2, ensures the absence of any net effects (combined) of temperature and concentration gradients but does not guarantee that this may not be due to a compensation between heat- and mass-transport rates. (In fact, this is the case when y/f ). It may therefore be the most conservative general policy to see that the separate criteria for isothermality are met, for example, by the combination of 3 and 5(c), or of 3 and 4 in Table 7.2. The presentations of Table 7.2 deal with power-law kinetics only more complicated issues, such as what to do with complex kinetics or reactions involving volume change, have also been treated in the literature and are summarized by Mears [reference 5(b) in Table 7.2]. 

Patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis are randomized to one of three treatments, celecoxib, ibuprofen, or naproxen, and the primary endpoint is the occurrence of a cardiovascular endpoint a nonfatal myocardial infarction, a nonfatal stroke, or any cardiovascular death. Non-inferiority will be assessed for three different pairwise comparisons celecoxib versus ibuprofen, celecoxib versus naproxen, and ibuprofen versus naproxen. The definition of non-inferiority differs somewhat from the fixed margin approach describe earlier in that there are separate criteria for the confidence interval and the point estimate. The hazard ratio for each comparison will be calculated, and non-inferiority will be concluded if the upper end of the... 

The Lagrangian Implicit Model The Lagrangian implicit model was also used to study cutting processes. In this model, the work-piece is represented by a thermo-elastic-plastic material. The FEM codes consider the contact between solid bodies, different friction models, and chip separation criteria. 

It is worth thinking of this process not as imitation, but as remixing. In today s music business, it has become common for the original raw tracks of music to be remixed in various ways by different producers aiming at different effects. In the same way that listening audiences developed separate criteria for live musical performance and records, remixing has... 

While (Baykut et cd. 2000) have used Random Markov Fields models for defect inspection of textile surfaces. (Kmnar Pang 2002h) used linear FIR filters with optimized energy separation for defect detection and evaluated the performance of different feature separation criteria. They also discussed the design of optimal filters for supervised and imsupervised inspection systems. 

Technical criteria are generally quantitative (probabilistic) and mostly on lower levels (subsidiary). They typically concern core damage, unacceptable release, and unacceptable health risks. In later years, some countries have defined separate criteria to address robustness in defence in depth, e.g., by having a separate criterion for reactor containment integrity. 

For the optimization of nano-HPLC separations of GSL extracts, reverse-phase (RP) HPLG with a Cjg column and amidophase under different mobile phase adjustments in both isocratic and gradient elution mode can be considered for neutral and acidic GSLs. Adequate conditions for separation criteria, considering either the ceramide or the carbohydrate moiety, were elucidated using different solvent mixtures. As the matrix solvent exerts an influence on ionization efficiency, its composition must be adapted accordingly so as to achieve ionization of both the major and minor components present in the fractions. 

The two combined methods must exhibit completely independent separation criteria, or in other words they must have orthogonal selectivities. 

The design, operation and utilization philosophy of nuclear research reactors is fundamentally different from that of nuclear power reactors. This is because the purpose of a research reactor is to be used as an experiment itself or to conduct separate e q)eriments during its operation. In addition, utilization may also lead to frequent modifications of the reactor. These differences require that separate criteria be established for power and research reactors even though many age related degradation mechanisms are similar. 

The implication is that safety of air traffic is the result of interactions between multiple human operators, procedures (including spacing and separation criteria), and technical systems (hardware and software) all of which are highly distributed. Since safety depends crucially on the interactions between the various elements of a system, providing safety is more than making sure that each of these elements function properly. It is imperative to understand the safety impact of these interactions, particularly in relation to non-nominal situations. 

Hazardous liquids must be stored safely away firom process and public areas and in such a manner that leaks or spills can be contained. Good separation criteria can be incorporated into the layout of a processing facility but are not easy to implement for a laboratory or packaging operation that handles a variety of hazardous liquids. The operator must then balance hazardous liquid accessibility against e[Pg.35]

Separation criteria are fundamentally different depending on whether the flnid flow is of sohd-body rotation type or vortex type. By way of example, the qnality of separation is affected when the flow rate through a centrifugal separator is increased, while the inverse property is obtained in a hydrocyclone.
