Thin equipment

The batteries feature a high operating voltage of 2.0-3.3 V. The energy density of SL621 (diameter 6.8 mm, height 2.1 mm) is 6.5 Whl"1. It is applicable to various types of small, thin equipment requiring backup for memory and clock function. Table 15 shows the specifications of lithium—polyacene batteries [58],... 

The acoustical device component is placed in water and is configured like a conventional impulse echo equipment. The ultrasound wave passed the delay path and enters the specimen container through a very thin plastic window. The backside of the container is a steel plate and will also be used as a reference reflector to measure pn. 

The Institute has many-year experience of investigations and developments in the field of NDT. These are, mainly, developments which allowed creation of a series of eddy current flaw detectors for various applications. The Institute has traditionally studied the physico-mechanical properties of materials, their stressed-strained state, fracture mechanics and developed on this basis the procedures and instruments which measure the properties and predict the behaviour of materials. Quite important are also developments of technologies and equipment for control of thickness and adhesion of thin protective coatings on various bases, corrosion control of underground pipelines by indirect method, acoustic emission control of hydrogen and corrosion cracking in structural materials, etc. 

Method 2. In a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask, equipped with a reflux condenser, place 20 5 g. (20 ml.) of anUine, 21 5 g. (20 ml.) of acetic anhydride, 21 g. (20 ml.) of glacial acetic acid, and 01 g. of zinc dust (1), Boil the mixture gently for 30 minutes, and then pour the hot Uquid in a thin stream into a 1 Utre beaker containing 500 ml. of cold water whilst stirring continually. When cold (it is preferable to cool in ice), filter the crude product at the pump, wash with a Uttle cold water, drain well and dry upon filter paper in the air. The yield of acetaniUde, m.p. 113°, is 30 g. It may be recrystaUised as in Method 1 aflFording 21 g, of pure acetaniUde, m.p. 114°. 

To prepare crystalline monoperphthalic acid, place the thoroughly dry ethereal solution (4) in a distilling flask equipped with a capillary tube connected with a calcium chloride or cotton wool drying tube, and attach the flask to a water pump. Evaporate the ether without the application of heat (ice will form on the flask) to a thin syrup (about 150 ml.). Transfer the syrup to an evaporating dish, rinse the flask with a little anhydrous ether, and add the rinsings to the syrup. Evaporate the remainder of the ether in a vacuum desiccator over concentrated sulphuric acid about 30 g. of monoperphthalic acid, m.p. 110° (decomp.), is obtained. 

If a linear mbber is used as a feedstock for the mass process (85), the mbber becomes insoluble in the mixture of monomers and SAN polymer which is formed in the reactors, and discrete mbber particles are formed. This is referred to as phase inversion since the continuous phase shifts from mbber to SAN. Grafting of some of the SAN onto the mbber particles occurs as in the emulsion process. Typically, the mass-produced mbber particles are larger (0.5 to 5 llm) than those of emulsion-based ABS (0.1 to 1 llm) and contain much larger internal occlusions of SAN polymer. The reaction recipe can include polymerization initiators, chain-transfer agents, and other additives. Diluents are sometimes used to reduce the viscosity of the monomer and polymer mixture to faciUtate processing at high conversion. The product from the reactor system is devolatilized to remove the unreacted monomers and is then pelletized. Equipment used for devolatilization includes single- and twin-screw extmders, and flash and thin film evaporators. Unreacted monomers are recovered for recycle to the reactors to improve the process yield. 

In order to make a multipurpose plant even more versatile than module IV, equipment for unit operations such as soHd materials handling, high temperature/high pressure reaction, fractional distillation (qv), Hquid—Hquid extraction (see Extraction, liquid-liquid), soHd—Hquid separation, thin-film evaporation (qv), dryiag (qv), size reduction (qv) of soHds, and adsorption (qv) and absorption (qv), maybe iastalled. 

PTFE is outstanding in this group. In thin films it provides the lowest coefficient of friction (0.03—0.1) of any polymer, is effective from —200 to 250°C, and is generally unreactive chemically. The low friction is attributed to the smooth molecular profile of PTFE chains which allows easy sliding (57). Typical apphcations include chemical and food processing equipment, electrical components, and as a component to provide improved friction and wear in other resin systems. 

For commodities that soHdify at temperatures commonly encountered during shipping, tank cars are equipped with internal or external heating coils. In some cases, cars are insulated with both sides of the insulation protected by thin steel shells. Approximately 15% of the tank cars in the United States are constmcted for the transportation of pressuri2ed commodities, such as anhydrous ammonia and propane. 

As with ah thin-film PV technologies, the projected manufacturing costs of a-Si H ahoy PV modules fah rapidly with annual manufacturing volume, ie, MWp /yr. The primary driver of this volume cost reduction is the volume—cost relationship of commercially available thin-film processing equipment. Thin-film coating machines often have capacities equivalent to 3—5 yr, so that manufacturing economies of scale are more fully realized at the... 

Evaporation. Evaporation can be used to separate volatile compounds from nonvolatile components and often is used to remove residual moisture or solvents from soHds or semisoHds. Thin-film evaporators and dryers are examples of evaporation equipment used for this type of appHcation. Some evaporators are also appropriate for aqueous solutions. 

In 1981, a novel flotation device known as the air-sparged hydrocyclone, shown in Figure 3, was developed (16). In this equipment, a thin film and swid flotation is accompHshed in a centrifugal field, where air sparges through a porous wall. Because of the enhanced hydrodynamic condition, separation of fine hydrophobic particles can be readily accompHshed. Also, retention times can be reduced to a matter of seconds. Thus, this device provides up to 200 times the throughput of conventional flotation cells at similar yields and product quaHties. 

Electrostatic spraying is used in shops to coat conductive objects. It is very useful for odd-shaped objects such as wire fence, cables, and piping. An electrostatic potential of 60,000 volts on the object attracts oppositely-charged paint particles the spray can wrap around and coat the side of the object opposite to the spray gun. This technique produces very uniform finishes and has the least paint loss of the three methods. However, it is slow, requires expensive equipment, produces only thin coats, and is sensitive to wind currents.
