Static feed

The first term is an abstract representation of the dynamic feed-forward controller while the remaining terms are for PI control. The air mass flow rate is the output flow rate from the compressor. This controller provides air stoichiometry recovery that is twice as fast as the static feed-forward controller when I is changed in step increments. However, this controller suffers from a low bandwidth so it will not be able to reject rapid changes in I, the system disturbances. 

Factors affecting maintenance and its prediction with current static feeding systems... 

Several trade-offs must be considered in the design of an RFC system, such as oxygen vs air feed operation, unitized vs discrete stack approach, pumped vs static feed, and selection of operating pressure [40], These trade-offs are discussed next.

Static bath mode. Feed enters at one end of the dmm and the floats exit from the other end. The sink product is removed continuously from the rotating dmm through the use of lifters attached to the dmm which empty into a launder as they move to the top. A modification of the simple dmm separator is the two-compartment dmm separator which allows a two-stage separation. In the cone-type separator (up to 6.1 m in dia and 450 t/h) feed is introduced at the top. The medium in the cone is kept in suspension by gentle agitation. The sink product is removed from the bottom of the cone either directly or by airlift in the center of the cone. The maximum particle size that can be separated is limited to 10 cm. Other separators include the Drewboy bath and the Norwaltbath (2). 

All the foregoing pertains to sohds of approximately the same physical characteristics. There is evidence that sohds of widely different characleristics wih classify one from the other at certain gas flow rates [Geldart, Baeyens, Pope, and van de Wijer, Powder Technol., 30(2), 195 (1981)]. Two fluidized beds, one on top of the other, may be formed, or a lower static bed with a fluidized bed above may result. The latter frequently occurs when agglomeration takes place because of either fusion in the bed or poor dispersion of sticl feed solids. 

Detention efficiency. Conversion from the ideal basin sized by detention-time procedures to an actual clarifier requires the inclusion of an efficiency factor to account for the effects of turbulence and nonuniform flow. Efficiencies vaiy greatly, being dependent not only on the relative dimensions of the clarifier and the means of feeding but also on the characteristics of the particles. The cui ve shown in Fig. 18-83 can be used to scale up laboratoiy data in sizing circular clarifiers. The static detention time determined from a test to produce a specific effluent sohds concentration is divided by the efficiency (expressed as a fraction) to determine the nominal detention time, which represents the volume of the clarifier above the settled pulp interface divided by the overflow rate. Different diameter-depth combinations are considered by using the corresponding efficiency factor. In most cases, area may be determined by factors other than the bulksettling rate, such as practical tank-depth limitations.

A distribution network 33 kV, three-phase 50 Hz feeding an industrial belt with a number of medium-sized factories some with non-linear loads and some with static drives and some with both. It was observed that while the lines were apparently running reasonably loaded, the active power supplied was much below the capacity of the network. Accordingly, a harmonic study of the network was conducted and it was found that despite localized p.f. control by most factories, the p.f. of the network itself was well below the optimum level and the voltage was also distorted by more than was permissible. To improve this network to an acceptable level, we have considered the following load conditions, as were revealed through the analysis. 

Let s consider now a system with dynamic pressures and a constant elevation. A classic example of this would be where a pump feeds a sealed reactor vessel, or boiler. The fluid level in the reactor would be more or less static in relation to the pump. The resistances in the piping, the Hf and Hv, would be mostly static although they would go up with flow. The Hp, pressure head would change with temperature. Consider Figure 8-14. 

This unit is usually used as the reboiler for the distillation column and, in this service, operates by the thermosiphon action of the difference in static head in the column and in the vapor-liquid phase leaving the reboiler. When tied into the bottom chamber, the liquid is usually recirculated many times, vaporizing only 10-25% of the reboiler feed per pass however, when used as a draw-off from the bottom tray seal pan, the feed to the reboiler is not recirculated flow. The basic operation is the same, however. 

LTHW systems are usually under a pressure of static head only, with an open expansion tank, in which case the design operating temperature should not exceed 83°C. Where MTHW systems operating above 110°C are pressurized by means of a head tank, an expansion vessel should be incorporated into the feed and expansion pipe. This vessel should be adequately sized to take the volume of expansion of the whole system so that boiling will not occur in the upper part of the feed pipe. On no account should an open vent be provided for this type of system. MTHW and HTHW systems require pressurization such that the saturation temperature at operating pressure at all points in the circuit exceeds the maximum system flow temperature required. A margin of 17 K (minimum)... 

Type of loading. A simple static load is relatively easy to recognize, but there are cases that fail between impact and suddenly applied loads. One thus takes into account infrequently applied fatigue loading mixed with some shock loads, as for example cams, links, or feeding devices.
