Storing Mechanical Pumps

The ejector is the simplest of all types of pumps. It has no moving parts. They are widely used in hydrogen fuel cells where the hydrogen is stored at pressure. In some Siemens Westinghouse SOFCs, they are used to recirculate the fuel gas. They harness the stored mechanical energy in the gas to circulate the fuel around the ceU. 

Preparation of silver maleate. Dissolve 65 g. of pure maleic acid (Section 111,143) in the calculated quantity of carefully standardised 3-5N aqueous ammonia solution in a 1-htre beaker and add, whilst stirring mechanically, a solution of 204 g. of silver nitrate in 200 ml. of water. Filter oflf the precipitated silver maleate at the pump, wash it with distilled water, and press well with the back of a large flat glass stopper. Dry in an electric oven at 50-60° to constant weight. The yield of the dry silver salt is 150 g. Store in a vacuum desiccator in the dark. 

Hazardous Wastes Hazardous Wastes for deliveiy to a treatment or disposal facility normally are collected by the waste producer or a licensed, speciahzed hauler. Typically, the loading of collection vehicles is completed in one of two ways (1) wastes stored in large-capacity tanks are either drained or pumped into collection vehicles, and (2) wastes stored in sealed drums or other sealed containers are loaded by hand or by mechanical equipment onto flatbed trucks. To avoid accidents and possible loss of life, two collectors shoiild always be assigned when hazardous wastes are to be collected. 

Extraction Frozen krill (85 g) is briefly homogenized with 60% ethanol (220 ml) at about 0°C, and centrifuged. The supernatant is rapidly concentrated under reduced pressure in a 2-liter flask at about 40°C (using a rotary evaporator, a mechanical vacuum pump, and a large condensate trap immersed in dry ice/acetone) to a volume of 15-20 ml. After the addition of 30 ml of cold ethanol, the solution is temporarily stored at —30°C. Materials similarly prepared from 6 batches (510 g krill in total) are combined, centrifuged, and the supernatant is concentrated to 30 ml, and then mixed with 70 ml of ethanol. Compound F in the solution is extracted with 120 ml of n-butanol. 

One possibility to avoid this limitation is the conversion of heat into another kind of energy like mechanical or electrical energy. In this case (see Figure 231) the converter is producing entropy free work, which can be stored without theoretical limitations. Examples are pump storages, where water is pumped to a higher level, or flywheels, where kinetic energy can be stored. 

The effect of the skeletal muscle pump is essential during exercise. Although a mass sympathetic discharge and venous vasoconstriction enhance VR, this mechanism alone is insufficient to increase VR and, therefore, CO to meet the metabolic demands of strenuous exercise. The skeletal muscle pump mobilizes the blood stored in these tissues and keeps it flowing toward the heart. As the number of muscles involved in the exercise increases, so does the magnitude of the increase in VR and CO.
