As m increases, At becomes progressively smaller (compare the difference between the square roots of 1 and 2 (= 0.4) with the difference between 100 and 101 (= 0.05). Thus, the difference in arrival times of ions arriving at the detector become increasingly smaller and more difficult to differentiate as mass increases. This inherent problem is a severe restriction even without the second difficulty, which is that not all ions of any one given m/z value reach the same velocity after acceleration nor are they all formed at exactly the same point in the ion source. Therefore, even for any one m/z value, ions at each m/z reach the detector over an interval of time instead of all at one time. Clearly, where separation of flight times is very short, as with TOF instruments, the spread for individual ion m/z values means there will be overlap in arrival times between ions of closely similar m/z values. This effect (Figure 26.2) decreases available (theoretical) resolution, but it can be ameliorated by modifying the instrument to include a reflectron. 

The reflectron increases the spatial separation of the ions of different m/z values by making them travel up and down the flight tube, so the distance traveled is twice what it would be if the ions simply passed once along the tube from one end to the other. The reflectron also narrows the energy spread for individual m/z values, thus improving mass resolution. TOP analyzers are not necessarily equipped with a reflectron. 

FIG. 16-2 Limiting fixed-bed behavior simple wave for unfavorable isotherm (top), square-root spreading for linear isotherm (middle), and constant pattern for favorable isotherm (bottom).

With a favorable isotherm and a mass-transfer resistance or axial dispersion, a transition approaches a constant pattern, which is an asymptotic shape beyond which the wave will not spread. The wave is said to be self-sharpening. (If a wave is initially broader than the constant pattern, it will sharpen to approach the constant pattern.) Thus, for an initially uniformly loaded oed, the constant pattern gives the maximum breadth of the MTZ. As bed length is increased, the constant pattern will occupy an increasingly smaller fraction of the bed. (Square-root spreading for a linear isotherm gives this same qualitative result.)... 

The solution gives all of the expected asymptotic behaviors for large N—the proportionate pattern spreading of the simple wave if R > 1, the constant pattern if R < 1, and square root spreading for R = 1. 

Various experimental methods to evaluate the kinetics of flow processes existed even in the last centuty. They developed gradually with the expansion of the petrochemical industry. In the 1940s, conversion versus residence time measurement in tubular reactors was the basic tool for rate evaluations. In the 1950s, differential reactor experiments became popular. Only in the 1960s did the use of Continuous-flow Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTRs) start to spread for kinetic studies. A large variety of CSTRs was used to study heterogeneous (contact) catalytic reactions. These included spinning basket CSTRs as well as many kinds of fixed bed reactors with external or internal recycle pumps (Jankowski 1978, Berty 1984.)... 

The property of LFG that makes it so hazardous is that it is usually stored and handled under pressure at temperatures above normal boiling points. Any leak thus flashes, much of it turning to vapor and spray. This can spread for hundreds of meters before it reaches a source of ignition. 

A visible cloud of vapor, 1 m deep, spread for 150 m and was ignited by a car that had stopped on a nearby road 25 minutes after the leak started. The road had been closed by the police, but the driver approached from a side road. The fire flashed back to the sphere, which was surrounded by flames. There was no explosion. The sphere was fitted with water sprays. But the system was designed to deliver only haif the quantity of water normally reeommended (0.2 U.S. gal/ft- min. or 8 L/m min.), and the supply was inadequate. When the fire brigade started to use its hoses, the supply to the spheres ran dry. The firemen seemed to have used most of the available w ater for cooling neighboring spheres to stop the fire from spreading, in the belief that the relief valve would pro-teet the vessel on fire. 

This fire occurred some years ago because those concerned did not fully appreciate the difference in behavior between liquid hydrocarbons, such as naphtha or gasoline, and LFGs. The vapor from a spillage of gasoline will spread only a short distance—about the diameter of the pool. But the vapor from a spillage of LFG can spread for hundreds of meters. 

An electrolyte may be characterized by resistance / [Qcm], which is defined as the resistance of the solution between two electrodes at a distance of 1 cm and an area of 1 cm2. The reciprocal value is called the specific conductivity at[Q" cm"1] [5], For comparison the values of k for various materials are given in Fig. 2 Here is a wide spread for different electrolyte solutions. The selection of a suitable, high-conductivity electrolyte solution for an electrochemical cell depends on its compatibility with other components, such as the positive and negative electrodes. 

Although in the above work the rate spread for detritiation was greater than for dedeuteration, surprisingly, in the reaction of lithium cyclohexylamide at 25 °C with fluorobenzenes and benzotrifluorides, the relative rates for dedeuteration and detritiation were595, respectively 2-F, 6.3 xlO5 and 3.4 x10s 3-F, 107 and 86 4-F, 11.2 and 9.1 3-CF3, 580 and 390, which therefore shows the reverse. The rate enhancement for these substituents were found to correlate reasonably with a field effect model for the inductive effect.

The second term corresponds to a simple delay and can be generated by air propagation. The third and higher terms are specific of propagation through material. They induce pulse spreading for optical telecommunications and degradation of the interferences contrast in the frame of interferometry. 

Figure 3.9. Demonstration of ruggedness. Ten series of data points were simulated that all are statistically similar to those given in Table 4.5. (See program SIMILAR.) A quadratic parabola was fitted to each set and plotted. The width of the resulting band shows in what ar-range the regression is reliable, higher where the band is narrow, and lower where it is wide. The bars depict the data spread for the ten statistically similar synthetic data sets.

Alternatively, the doctor blade can impinge onto a small conveyor belt system which supports the travelling fabric. This mechanism is less commonly used than the rigid roller as it leads to reduced control of the thickness of the spread. For precision work, using very consistent cloth, an accurately machined chromium plated steel roll can replace the rubber covered roller.

Downward flame spread for scenario B. Once the horizontal, concurrent flame spread along the wall ceiling intersection has reached an opposite corner in the compartment the downward flame spread in the upper layer starts. In reality, this could possibly start happening during the concurrent flame spread time interval. In the current version of the model, no account is taken of the relatively low oxygen concentration in the upper layer. The flame spread is quite slow at first since the wall material has a relatively low sur-...
