Specific gravity selected values

Iridium is not attacked by any of the acids nor by aqua regia, but is attacked by molten salts, such as NaCl and NaCN. The specific gravity of iridium is only very slightly lower than osmium, which is generally credited as the heaviest known element. Calculations of the densities of iridium and osmium from the space lattices give values of 22.65 and 22.61 g/cm 3, respectively. These values may be more reliable than actual physical measurements. At present, therefore, we know that either iridium or osmium is the densest known element, but the data do not yet allow selection between the two. 

The selection of steam cracker feedstock is mainly driven by market demand as different feedstock qualities produce different olefins yields. One of the commonly used feed quality assessment methods in practice is the Bureau of Mines Correlation Index (BMCI) (Gonzalo et al., 2004). This index is a function of average boiling point and specific gravity of a particular feedstock. The steam cracker feed quality improves with a decrease in the BMCI value. For instance, vacuum gas oil (VGO) has a high value of BMCI and, therefore, is not an attractive steam cracker feed. The commonly used feedstocks in industry are naphtha and gas oil. 

Gas treating is defined here as removal of H2S and CO2. Other sulfur compounds are discussed where applicable. Dehydration and sulfur production are not included, except for when sulfur production in liquid redox processes and selective H2S removal is being discussed. H2S must be removed from natural gas and process streams for health reasons and prevention of corrosion. Natural gas pipeline specifications require no more than 1/4 grain/100 SCF. This is equivalent to 4ppmv or 7 ppmw (for a 0.65 specific gravity gas). By comparison, the human nose can detect 0.13 ppmv and the threshold limit value for prolonged exposure is 10 ppmv. 

In bivalve mollusks there are two sites for the selection of particulate matter the gills/labial palps, and the stomach. Studies on selectivity by the gills have generally shown that there is a size limit below which the animal does not retain particles efficiently110). Bernard has outlined a mechanism for the selection of particulate matter which is based on the specific gravity of the particles such that the more dense material does not reach the gills and is rejected as pseudofeces111). Based on Bernard s data the particulate matter passed into the stomach would not be selected on food value. 

Where SG is specific gravity based on oven dry weight and volume at a given moisture content MC (%) and A, B, and C are constants. For specific gravity >0.3, temperatures around 24°C, and moisture content values <25%, A = 0.01864, B = 0.1941, and C = 0.004064 (with k in W/(mK)). Equation (24) was derived from measurements made by several researchers on a variety of species. Table 1 provides average approximate conductivity values for selected wood species, based on Equation (24). However, actual conductivity may vary as much as 20% from the tabulated values [46],...

The physical properties of HEAR oils have not changed since they were defined by Appelqvist and Ohison (1972) as reproduced in Table XI. Only a few of these values have been redefined for LEAR, including canola oils, but selected properties such as molar polarization and dipole moment have been related to the 22 1 content of the triglyceride molecules (Rutkowski and Witwicka, 1975). Specific gravity has been altered slightly by elimination of the long 22 1 chain (Ackman and Eaton, 1977) in LEAR oils. 

Example 25-1 Suppose workers apply adhesive in a certain operation. The adhesive has a solvent base, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). If the process allows 6 pints of MEK to evaporate per hour, how much dilution air will prevent combustion The molecular weight of MEK is 72. The specific gravity of MEK is 0.8. The LFL is 1.8. This is a low concentration and therefore quite flammable. As a result, select a high value (8) for a factor of safety. From Equation (25-1), we find that the required dilution air is...
