In addition to measurements of how much and what type of chemical species is present, modification of the MR experiment allows us to quantify the physical state of that species (e.g. gas, liquid, gel, solid), temperature and, as has just been alluded to, any incoherent or coherent transport processes within the system of interest. By integrating any of these measurements into an imaging experiment, we can spatially map these quantities or exploit the effect of these characteristics on the magnitude or frequency of the MR signal to preferentially observe sub-populations of spins within the system. In this latter application we are exploiting so-called contrast mechanisms in the image acquisition. These concepts will be illustrated in Sections II.B-II.D. 

Within each unit cell, we assumed uniform solid temperature and uniform gas-phase composition and temperature for both streams. However, the (uniform) fuel and oxidant stream temperatures are of course, different from each other and from the solid temperature. 

Both the solid temperature and the current density surfaces...

Many runs were taken using various welding-rod fluxes. This flux had many compositions and densities. For the most dense (2.16 gm/cm ), Wc was taken as 0.055 gm/gm dry solid. For the least dense (1.35 gm/cm ), IFc was taken as 0.017. Most of the electrode samples were taken directly from the production line and there was almost no constant-rate data. In these case.s the rate may remain constant due to an increase in solids temperature and the sample may not have a completely wet surface. 

Whether a substance exists as a gas, liquid, or solid depends on the nature of its intermolecular attractive forces and on its temperature and pressure. A phase diagram is a graphical way to summarize the environmental conditions under which the different states of a substance are stable. The diagram is divided into three areas representing the three possible states of the substance (gas, liquid, or solid). Temperature and pressure determine the phase of a substance and are shown on the x-axis and y-axis of the phase diagram, respectively. 

Tinkler 19) and Sinai 20) used frequency response analysis to study homogeneous reactions in the liquid phase accompanied by flow through packed beds of solids. Temperature and concentration were varied. Dynamic response experiments in homogeneous reactors are analyzed by Tinkler and Lamb 21). 

Many researches adopted one of the aforanentioned approaches and modified it to include various aspects of the pneumatic drying process. Andrieu and Bressat [16] presented a simple model for pneumatic drying of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), particles. Their model was based on elementary momentum, heat and mass transfer between the fluid and the particles. In order to simplify their model, they assumed that the flow is unidirectional, the relative velocity is a function of the buoyancy and drag forces, solid temperature is uniform and equal to the evaporation temperature, and that evaporation of free water occurs in a constant rate period. Based on their simplifying assumptions, six balance equations were written for six unknowns, namely, relative velocity, air humidity, solid moisture content, equilibrium humidity, and both solid and fluid temperatures. The model was then solved numerically, and satisfactory agreanent with their experimental results was obtained. A similar model was presented by Tanthapanichakoon and Srivotanai [24]. Their model was solved numerically and compared with their experimental data. Their comparison between the experimental data and their model predictions showed large scattering for the gas temperature and absolute humidity. However, their comparisons for the solid temperature and the water content were failed. 

Differently from the interconnected fluidized bed reactors, the dynamically operated PBRs have to be operated with proper heat management strategies in order to produce hot gas that are suitable for a combined cycle. In a PBR, the maximum solid temperature, and, thus the maximum gas temperature for the thermodynamic cycle, is usually achieved during the oxidation phase (which is always strongly exothermic as shown in Figure 5.15) and the maximum solid temperature increase is caleulated as follows [61] ... 

The solubility of elements in freshwater is limited and the solubility of calcium and magnesium carbonates are of particular importance in freshwaters. The solubility of carbonates is inversely proportional to the temperature of the water. In other words, as the water temperature increases, calcium and magnesium carbonates become less soluble. If the solubility decreases sufficiently, carbonates will precipitate and form a scale on the surfaces of the system. This scale can provide a protective barrier to prevent corrosion of the metallic elements in a system. Excessive scale deposits can interfere with water flow and heat transfer. The quality of the scale is dependent on the quantity of calcium that can precipitate as well as water flow and the chloride and sulfate content of the water. The tendency of water to precipitate a carbonate scale is estimated from corrosion indices such as the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) and Caldwell-Lawrence calculations [6-8] which use calcium, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, temperature and pH properties of the water. Other indices, such as the Ryznar Index... 

This equation must be solved iteratively to find the solid temperature and hence the reaction rate. 

Erosion corrosion is affected by velocity, turbulence, impingement, presence of suspended solids, temperature, and prevailing cavitation conditions. The acceleration of attack is due to the distribution or removal of the protective surface film by mechanical forces exposing fresh metal surfaces that are anodic to the uneroded neighboring film. A hard, dense adherent and continuous film, such as on stainless steel, is more resistant than a soft brittle film, as that on lead. The nature of the protective film depends largely on the corrosive itself. 

Solid temperature may be above 1000 K, and thus, radiative heat transfer cannot be neglected. Lee and Aris (1977) focused on the wall-to-wall radiation problem. They showed that this heat transfer process is responsible for lower conversion due to lower solid temperature and smaller temperature gradients, and that the maximum solid temperature may be about 100 K below that calculated with a model ignoring radiative heat transfer. Unfortunately, as mentioned by these authors, the mathematics are too complex to be incorporated in realistic models. Most sophisticated converter models neglect the wall to wall radiative heat transfer. Chen et al. (1988, 1989) accounted for gas-solid radiative transfer toward the surrounding medium. The surface temperature of the converter must be at least 1000 K for the radiation contribution to become important. Ryan et al. (1991) considered radiation from the front and aft faces of the monolith, and concluded that this process is not important. 

Generalizing to any two locations, 1 and 2, in the extruder and substituting in the definition of G the mass flow rate of solid followed by rearranging terms gives an extrusion model, which can predict the width of the solid bed at any location along the screw from knowledge of the melting rate, the solid bed barrel contact area, the solid density (function of solid temperature and internal pressure), the down chaimel solid velocity and the physical dimensions of the screw chaimel (Eq. 12.16).
