Uses. In spite of unique properties, there are few commercial appUcations for monolithic shapes of borides. They are used for resistance-heated boats (with boron nitride), for aluminum evaporation, and for sliding electrical contacts. There are a number of potential uses ia the control and handling of molten metals and slags where corrosion and erosion resistance are important. Titanium diboride and zirconium diboride are potential cathodes for the aluminum Hall cells (see Aluminum and aluminum alloys). Lanthanum hexaboride and cerium hexaboride are particularly useful as cathodes ia electronic devices because of their high thermal emissivities, low work functions, and resistance to poisoning. 

Either trickle (flapper) or star (rotaiy) valves are effective sealing devices for solids discharge. Each functions with a head of sohds above it. Bottom of the bed discharge is also acceptable via a slide valve with a head of solids. 

Because of the steep pitch required, slides are limited in application. They are most commonly used to bridge the gap between roller-conveyor systems on two floors, because the roller conveyor can take the container off the slide rapidly and ehminate or reduce the chance for collisions. Slides may also be used when containers can be chuted from an upper floor to a manually loaded carrier. The use of several rollers at the feed point is recommended for easy dehveiy to the sloping section. If the drop is short and containers light, a roller cleanout will prevent backup of containers on the slide. The slope of gravity slides is a function of container weight, size, and friction characteristics and should be selected with care to be sure that containers do not move either too swiftly or not at all. Slides usually use flat steel sheet. 

Variation to the slide valve is the turn valve. The valve functions by turning rather than sliding but has the same effect as the slide valve. The plug is... 

In an attempt to determine the applicability of JKR and DMT theories, Lee [91] measured the no-load contact radius of crosslinked silicone rubber spheres in contact with a glass slide as a function of their radii of curvature (R) and elastic moduli (K). In these experiments, Lee found that a thin layer of silicone gel transferred onto the glass slide. From a plot of versus R, using Eq. 13 of the JKR theory, Lee determined that the work of adhesion was about 70 7 mJ/m". a value in clo.se agreement with that determined by Johnson and coworkers 6 using Eqs. 11 and 16. 

Valves have two main functions in a pipeline to control the amount of flow, or to stop the flow completely. There are many different types but the most commonly used are the gate valve and the globe valve. The gate valve contains a disk that slides at right angles to the flow direction. This type of valve is used primarily for on-off control of a liquid flow. Because small lateral adjustments of the disk cause e.xtreme changes in the flow cross-sectional area, this type of valve is not suitable for adjusting flow rates. 

Directional control valves may be classified in several ways. Some of the different ways are by the type of control, the number of ports in the valve housing, and the specific function that the valve performs. The most common method is by the type of valving element used in the construction of the valve. The most common types of valving elements are the ball, cone, sleeve, poppet, rotary spool, and sliding spool. The basic operating principles of the poppet, rotary spool, and sliding spool types are discussed in this text. 

The flow rate of the regenerated catalyst to the riser is commonly regulated by either a slide or plug valve. The operation of a slide valve is similar to that of a variable orifice. Slide valve operation is often controlled by the reactor temperature. Its main function is to supply... 

Proper standpipe design is one of the most important factors in obtaining good circulation. The standpipe provides the necessary head pressure required to circulate the catalyst. A standpipe assembly is typically comprised of three major parts hopper, standpipe, and slide or plug valve. The function and design of each part is described below. 

Catalyst circulation can also be limited by mechanical problems with the slide/plug valves. They may have limited travel or will not open fully. This is indicated by the lack of response when an adjustment is made. The differential pressure and the flow will not change. Troubleshooting the valves is a function of the valve design and the vendor will supply troubleshooting information,...
