Steaming potential

When the drops are close together, whatever the driving force that makes them approach, the film that is located between neighboring drops exhibits a complex drainage process that involves several different mcchanisnu. and this controls the second step of the emulsion decay. Some of them depend on the drop volume tike the van der Waals attractive forces, or the Archimedes pull, white others depend on the interdrop film physical properties such as viscosity, or on the interfacial phenomena chat occur whenever two interfaces approach at sub micrometer range. The first class of inlerfacial phenomena deals with static attractive or repulsive forces, like electrical, steric, or eniropic repulsions, while the second one has to do with dynamic processes like the steaming potential and interfaciat viscosity effects, as well as the more classical hydrodynamic considerations (19-23). 

A successful modeling must describe the macroscopic adsorption data (adsorption isotherms, adsorption edges, the aforementioned plots amount of the H+ ions released (adsorbed) vs. amount of cationic (anionic) TMIS adsorbed , potentiometric titrations, microelectrophoretic mobility or steaming potential data over a wide range of pH, ionic strength and concentrations of the TMIS in the solution, using the minimum number of adjustable parameters. 

The output from the turbine might be superheated or partially condensed, as is the case in Fig. 6.32. If the exhaust steam is to be used for process heating, ideally it should be close to saturated conditions. If the exhaust steam is significantly superheated, it can be desuperheated by direct injection of boiler feedwater, which vaporizes and cools the steam. However, if saturated steam is fed to a steam main, with significant potential for heat losses from the main, then it is desirable to retain some superheat rather than desuperheat the steam to saturated conditions. If saturated steam is fed to the main, then heat losses will cause excessive condensation in the main, which is not desirable. On the other hand, if the exhaust steam from the turbine is partially condensed, the condensate is separated and the steam used for heating.

Synthesis Gas Generation Routes. Any hydrocarbon that can be converted into a synthesis gas by either reforming with steam (eq. 4) or gasification with oxygen (eq. 5) is a potential feedstock for methanol. 

Carbon produced by these latter reactions is formed in the catalyst pores, making it much more difficult to remove, and potentially causing physical breakage. Operating steam to carbon ratios are chosen above the minimum required in order to make carbon formation by these reactions thermodynamically impossible (3). Steam is another potential source of contaminants. Chemicals from the boiler feedwater or the cooling system are poisons to the reformer catalyst, so steam quality must be carefully monitored. 

Certain boilers employ forced circulation, whereby a pump helps impart the circulation through the downcomer lines to the waterwaH header, particularly to improve or control circulation at low loads. Forced-circulation pumps are also required in high pressure and supercritical pressure boilers, because once the pressure within a boiler approaches the critical pressure, 22.1 MPa (3208 psia), the densities of the water and steam become similar, limiting or eliminating the potential for natural circulation. 

Limitations in the material of constmction make it difficult to use the high temperature potential of fuel hiUy. This restriction has led to the insertion of gas turbines into power generation steam cycles and even to the use of gas turbines in preheating air for ethylene-cracking furnaces. 

Propylene has many commercial and potential uses. The actual utilisation of a particular propylene supply depends not only on the relative economics of the petrochemicals and the value of propylene in various uses, but also on the location of the supply and the form in which the propylene is available. Eor example, economics dictate that recovery of high purity propylene for polymerisation from a smaH-volume, dilute off-gas stream is not feasible, whereas polymer-grade propylene is routinely recovered from large refineries and olefins steam crackers. A synthetic fuels project located in the western United States might use propylene as fuel rather than recover it for petrochemical use a plant on the Gulf Coast would recover it (see Euels, synthetic). 

Industrial Uses. Large industrial faciUties, particularly those using cyclone boilers or fluidized-bed boilers, are potential markets. In addition, several vendors of small- and medium-sized industrial energy and steam faciUties are marketing units capable of using I DE. As the availabiUty of I DE expands with new producers entering the market, it is hoped that the industrial use of I DE will also expand (7). 

In theory, whole-tree-energy plants have the potential to be more efficient than existing wood-fired generators, which are fueled by chipped wood with a relatively high moisture content (45%). The dried whole trees have a moisture content below 25%, and whole-tree plants potentially can be built to have a greater capacity and to employ high pressure, high temperature steam.
