Conversion-time curves analogous to those in Figs. 25.9 and 25.10 can be prepared for other solid shapes by using the equations of Table 25.1. 

There is really no more difficulty in conceiving four-dimensional shapes, when we go about it in the right way, than in conceiving the idea of solid shapes, nor is there any mystery at all about it. When this faculty is acquired, or rather when it is brought into consciousness— for it [already] exists in everyone in imperfect form—a new horizon opens. The... 

Bulk polymerization consists of heating the monomer without solvent with initiator in a vessel. The monomer-initiator mixture polymerizes to a solid shape fixed by the shape of the polymerization vessel. The main practical disadvantages of this method are the difficulty in the removal of polymer from a reactor or flask and the dissipation of the heat evolved by the polymerization. 

Beryllium, beryllium-containing alloys, and beryllium oxide ceramic in solid or massive form present no hazard whatsoever (31). Solid shapes maybe safely handled with bare hands (32) however, care must be taken in the fabrication and processing of beryllium products to avoid inhalation of airborne beryllium particulate matter such as dusts, mists, or fumes in excess of the prescribed workplace exposure limits. Inhalation of fine airborne beryllium may cause chronic beryllium disease, a serious lung disease in certain sensitive individuals. However, the vast majority of people, perhaps as many as 99%, do not react to beryllium exposure at any level (33). The biomedical and environmental aspects of beryllium have been summarized (34). 

Solid shapes or powders are formulated from solid or liquid (when used as a B stage) epoxy resins and curing agent. Fillers, additives, and other modifiers are often used as they are with liquid or paste epoxy adhesive formulations. However, consideration must be given to the flow properties of the adhesive when heated as well as the application properties. 

Nylon is the common name for polyamides. Polyamides are generally made from reactions of diacids with diamines. The most common polyamide is called nylon 6,6 because it is made by reaction of a six-carbon diacid (adipic acid) with a six-carbon diamine. The six-carbon diamine, systematically named hexane-1,6-diamine, is commonly called hexamethylene diamine. When adipic acid is mixed with hexamethylene diamine, a proton-transfer reaction gives a white solid called nylon salt. When nylon salt is heated to 250 °C, water is driven off as a gas, and molten nylon results. Molten nylon is cast into a solid shape or extruded through a spinneret to produce a fiber. 

The volume of a solid shape is a measure of the three-dimensional space it occupies. It is measured in cubic units, which is written as units3. We can find the volume of a solid shape, say a cuboid, by counting the number of cubes that its three-dimensional space occupies. The volume of a cuboid measuring 3 cm by 2 cm by 3 cm can be found by counting the number of cubic centimeters (abbreviated cm3) it occupies. There are three layers of cubes, and in each layer there are six cubes, so the volume of the cuboid is 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 cm3. 

This process is a take-off from compression molding that uses solid material male and female matching mold halves. This unique process uses a precision-made, solid shaped heated cavity and a flexible plunger that is usually made of hard rubber or TS polyurethane. This two-part system can be mounted in a press, either hydraulic or air-actuated. Rather excellent product qualities are possible at fairly low production rates. The reinforcement can be positioned in the cavity and the liquid TS resin is poured on it. Also used are prepregs, BMC, and SMC. 

An important aspect of the design of three phase bubble columns is the variation of catalyst distribution along the reactor height, and its effect on reactor performance. Many factors influence the degree of catalyst distribution, including gas velocity, liquid velocity, solid particle size, phase densities, slurry viscosity, and, to a lesser extent, column diameter, solid shape and chemical affinity between the solid and liquid phases. 

A number of methods have been proposed for particle shape analysis, including shape coefficients, shape factors, verbal descriptions, curvature signatures, moment invariants, solid shape descriptors, and mathematical functions (Fourier series... 

A common device used in gas absorption and stripping is the packed tower, the elevational section of which is shown in Figure 9.6i. The device consists of a column or tower equipped with a gas inlet and distributor at the bottom and a liquid inlet and distributor at the top. It also consists of a liquid outlet at the bottom and a gas outlet at the top and a supported mass of solid shapes called tower packing or filling. 

Packing or filling—A supported mass of solid shapes in towers and similar structures. 

Ceramics Ceramic membranes are manufactured by processes, which are completely different from polymeric membranes. Polymeric membranes are typically formed by the phase inversion process where the polymer dissolved in solvent precipitates upon exposure to nonsolvent. In contrast, ceramic membranes consist of ceramic particles that have been sintered at very high temperatures into one solid shape. It is the gaps or voids between the solid-state ceramic particles that determine... 

Effects of Solids Shape. The viscosities of emulsion-solids mixtures are compared when irregular-shaped silica sand and spherical glass beads are added separately to an oil emulsion. The results are shown in Figure 18 for different sizes of glass beads and silica sand for synthetic oil.

Because the emulsion-solids mixtures are non-Newtonian fluids, a shear stress or a shear rate must be specified when any comparison is made. In Figure 18a, comparison is made between the 22- xm silica sand and the 19- xm glass beads at a shear stress of 6 Pa. The differences in the solids mean diameter and in their size distributions are small. The degree of influence on the viscosity is therefore mainly due to the solids shape. Similar results are... 

The time dependent difference A + from (2.201) assumes a maximum value A +ax for each body for a given Biot number, and this maximum appears at a certain time. This maximum deviation of the approximate solution has been calculated for different solid shapes. For Bi = 0.1 the maximum difference lies without exception at less than 2% of the characteristic temperature difference o — s- The Biot number in this case was evaluated with the cylinder or sphere radius R as its characteristic length (Bi = aR/A). In parallelepipeds and prisms the characteristic length was taken to be half of the smallest side length 2X. In bodies whose dimensions X, Y, Z or R and Z do not differ greatly, the maximum error from the approximation solution lies around 1% of o — s The error increases rapidly with larger Biot numbers. The error of less than 2% of o — s calculated for Bi = 0.10 could presumedly be tolerated.
