Temperature scale conversions

After you have used Eqs. (1.17)-(1.19) a bit, they will become so familiar that temperature conversion will become an automatic reflex. During your learning period, in case you forget them, just think of the appropriate scales side by side as in Fig. 1.4, and put down the values for the freezing and boiling points of water. Or, you can recover Eq. (1.19) by recognizing that the equation is linear (see Appendix M)... 

Solution These three parts require that we carry out temperature conversions, so we need Equations (1.2), (1.3), and (1.4). Keep in mind that the lowest temperature on the Kelvin scale is zero (0 K) therefore, it can never be negative. 

Perform simple temperature conversions between the Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin, and Rankine scales. 

Monolith perovskites prepared from ultradispersed powders of mixed oxides of rare earths (La-Ce or Dy-Y) and transition metals (Ni, Fe, and Mn) have recently been used in methane combustion [65], These preshaped structures were seen to be active and selective in the target reaction over a wide range of temperatures. The scale of the specific activity and apparent activation energy for monoliths paralleled that found for powdered samples. The catalyst decreased the ignition temperature down to 200 K to achieve a 10% methane conversion, and enhanced selectivity to CO2 with respect to the uncatalyzed process. 

Three techniques and three objects of the same name described above allow us to work with temperatures insert temperature value on any scale, display temperature value, insert and display temperature difference. That is, we should apply a simple but important rule inserting and displaying temperatures in any scales use only absolute scale, Kelvin, in computing. Mathcad worksheet with temperature conversion on different scales is accessible at http //twt.mpei.ac.ru/mas/worksheets/Tem-perature Rec ale. mcd.

As an example the use of ceramic membranes for ethane dehydrogenation has been discussed (91). The constmction of a commercial reactor, however, is difficult, and a sweep gas is requited to shift the product composition away from equiUbrium values. The achievable conversion also depends on the permeabihty of the membrane. Figure 7 shows the equiUbrium conversion and the conversion that can be obtained from a membrane reactor by selectively removing 80% of the hydrogen produced. Another way to use membranes is only for separation and not for reaction. In this method, a conventional, multiple, fixed-bed catalytic reactor is used for the dehydrogenation. After each bed, the hydrogen is partially separated using membranes to shift the equihbrium. Since separation is independent of reaction, reaction temperature can be optimized for superior performance. Both concepts have been proven in bench-scale units, but are yet to be demonstrated in commercial reactors.
