Simplified forms

In our earlier discussion of the dynamical equations at the opposite limit of Knudsen diffusion control, we obtained a final simplified form, represented by equations (12.15) and (12.16) (or (12.20) and (12.21) for an Irreversible reaction with a single reactant), after introducing certain... 

Solids by solvents. The various forms of Soxhlet apparatus illus trated in Section 11,44 can be purchased with ground glass joints. A simplified form, in which the fragile side tubes are absent, is shown in Fig. II, 58, 1. The material to be extracted, if of granular form, may rest upon a sintered glass disc or upon a removable septum ... 

We consider a problem similar to the one considered in Section 2.8. The nonpenetration condition between crack faces is taken in simplified form. Our aim is to obtain some qualitative properties of solutions for a contact problem for a plate having a crack. 

Ana.eroblc Digestion. Methane can be produced from water slurries of biomass by anaerobic digestion in the presence of mixed populations of anaerobes. This process has been used for many years to stabilize municipal sewage sludges for purposes of disposal. Presuming the biomass is all cellulose, the chemistry can be represented in simplified form as follows ...

Simplified forms of Eq. (6-8) apply to special cases frequently found in prac tice. For a control volume fixed in space with one inlet of area Ai through which an incompressible fluid enters the control volume at an average velocity Vi, and one outlet of area Ao through which fluid leaves at an average velocity V9, as shown in Fig. 6-4, the continuity equation becomes... 

Figure 8-41 includes two conventional feedback controllers G i controls Cl by manipulating Mi, and G o controls C9 by manipidating Mo. The output sign s from the feedback controllers serve as input signals to the two decouplers D o and D91. The block diagram is in a simplified form because the load variables and transfer functions for the final control elements and sensors have been omitted. 

Decision Trees In a typical decision tree, illustrated in a very simplified form by Fig. 9-24, each node represents a decision point (DP) at which one or more alternatives are available. Some quantifiable result of each alternative is chosen as a basis for comparison for example, the net present value (NPV). A value is assigned to the probability of attaining each result, either cumulative or not as required. These may be obtained by the methods just described or otherwise. The estimates are subject to the restriction that the sum of the proba-... 

Layer of protection analysis (LOPA) is a simplified form of event tree analysis. Instead of analyzing all accident scenarios, LOPA selects a few specific scenarios as representative, or boundary, cases. LOPA uses order-of-magnitLide estimates, rather than specific data, for the frequency of initiating events and for the probability the various layers of protection will fail on demand. In many cases, the simplified results of a LOPA provide sufficient input for deciding whether additional protection is necessary to reduce the likelihood of a given accident type. LOPAs typically require only a small fraction of the effort required for detailed event tree or fault tree analysis. 

A simplified form of event tree analysis using selected accident scenarios and order-of-magnitude estimates to determine whether additional protection is needed... 

Elucidation of the phase relationships between the different forms of carbon is a difficult field of study because of the very high temperatures and pressures that must be applied. However, the subject is one of great technical importance because of the need to understand methods for transforming graphite and disordered forms of carbon into diamond. The diagram has been revised and reviewed at regular intervals [59-61] and a simplified form of the most recent diagram for carbon [62] is in Fig. 5. 

In contrast to apportioning the standard free energy between different groups in the solute molecule, the standard free energy can also be dispensed between the different types of forces involved in the solute/phase-phase distribution. This approach has been elegantly developed by Martire et al. [13]. In a simplified form, the standard free energy can be divided into portions that result from the different types of interaction, e.g.,... 

The expression for (Hmin) is given in chapter 13 and a simplified form of this equation is as follows,... 

The first law of thermodynamics is the basis for material- and energy-balance calculations. Because there is no significant transformation of mass to energy in most manufacturing operations, for a material balance the first law can be reduced to the simplified form ... 

Having completed the risk analyses, computed the uncertainties, and identified critical systems by importance measures (which also identifies valuable systems improvements having low costs), the PSA results must be presented. An executive summary compares the risk of operations that were analyzed with the risks of similar operations. It identifies and explains the main contributors to the risk to people untrained in PSA and statistical methods. Figure 6.3-5 shows two pie-charts that show the risk contributions of various initiators for PWRs and BWRs. A chart similar to one of these would be an effective way of showing the risk contributions in simplified form. 

A simplified form of the eonstant pressure filtration equation ean be written if it is assumed that Ap = eonstant from t = 0 i.e. Vx = 0. 

As mentioned above, the unit operation of crystallization rarely exists in isolation but is normally part of a wider particulate processing system as illustrated schematically, in a very simplified form, in Figure 9.2. A particular feature of such processes is the variety of unit operations and the range of equipment types that may be employed at any stage. 

The force and moment resultants take the simplified form... 

If two complexes coexist, there will be two relaxation times, and a treatment analogous to the analyses of Schemes III and IV is required. Table 4-2 gives a few rate constants for these reactions.The mechanism of such reactions is believed to consist of at least two steps, shown in simplified form in Scheme IX. 

Because v represents the stoichiometric coefficient of a given species, the value of AH clearly depends on the way the stoichiometric equation is written for the reaction. It is conventional to express the above equation in a simplified form as... 

The atmospheric condenser is a simplified form of evaporative condenser, having plain tubes over a collecting tank and relying only on natural air draught. This will be located on an open roof or large open space to ensure a good flow of air. The space required is of the order of 0.2 m /kW, and such condensers are not much used because of this large space requirement. Atmospheric condensers can still be seen on the roofs of old breweries. They are in current use where space is plentiful. 

In this section the several theoretical or semi-empirical formulas for the prediction of London energies are compared with experimental values. The formulas to be tested are summarized in conventional units both for unlike atom pairs and in the simplified form for pairs of like atoms as follows ...

A survey of the thermodynamic situation is provided by so-called Pourbaix diagrams [10], which show equilibrium potentials versus the pH value. Figure 1 shows such a diagram for lead and its oxides in a very simplified form that considers only the standard concentrations of the dissolved components. The complete diagram contains a great number of parallel lines that express the various concentrations. 

In each of these, 8 is defined by 8, = [A], - [A]tf. These expressions are applicable to any equilibration experiment on the system shown, whether by dilution, or mixing, or otherwise. These simplified forms are the result of using the equilibrium concentrations rather than the starting concentrations as the point of reference. The fourth system of opposing reactions, A P + Q as in Eq. (3-18), is left to Problem 3-7. 

The quantity on the right-hand side of Eq. (10-8) can be written in simplified form. This expression defines the substituent constant rr in terms of the m- and / -substituted benzoic acids, relative to benzoic acid itself. The value of <7 is given by... 

Note that all activities are pure numbers and thus are unitless. When using the simplified form, the activity is the numerical value of the pressure in bar or the numerical value of the molarity in moles per liter. 

The most common precursor is methane (CH4), which is generally pyrolyzed at 1100°C or above, over a wide range of pressure from about 100 Pa (0.001 atm) to 10 Pa (1 atm). The reaction in a simplified form is as follows ...
