The burning rate describes the velocity with which the volume of the burning propellant changes. It is proportional to the linear burning rate and in addition it depends on the specific shape of the propellant (size of the powder elements and conformation, e.g. flakes, spheres, tubes, multi-perforated tubes etc. extending to the most complicated shapes of rocket propellant charges). 

Tube preparation. Tubes (multi-tube gauntlets) are produced from chemically resistant glass or organic fibres (polyester, polypropylene, acrylonitrile co-polymers, etc.) by weaving, braiding or felting methods. The tubes are fixed into the required shape in an appropriate polymer solution and thermally treated.

New technology is applied to existing fields to enhance production. For example, horizontal development wells have been drilled in many mature fields to recover remaining oil, especially where the remaining oil is present in thin oil columns after the gas cap and/or aquifer have swept most of the oil. Lately, the advent of multi-lateral wells drilled with coiled tubing have provided a low cost option to produce remaining oil as well as low productivity reservoirs. 

Multi-necked flasks. Various types of multi necked flasks are illustrated in Figs. II, 56, 13-15. The centre socket is usually the largest ( 24 or 34) and the side sockets are generally smaller. The side tube in Fig. II, 56,15, a may be employed for a capillary tube in vacuum distillation b, c and d are different types of thermometer wells .

Heat exchanger-like, multi-tube reactors are used for both exothermic and endothermic reactions. Some have as much as 10,000 tubes in a shell installed between tube sheets on both ends. The tubes are filled with catalyst. The larger reactors are sensitive to transient thermal stresses that can develop during startup, thermal runaways and emergency shut downs. 

As can be seen most of the tubes were still in a non-sensitive state while about ten were in runaway conditions. This wiU give an operational feel for how uniform the catalyst charge should be and how closely the system may approach incipient runaway, for a single tube in a multi-tube production unit. 

Main fuel injector. This unit is designed to deliver a fuel-air mixture to the catalyst that is uniform in composition, temperature, and velocity. A multi-venturi tube (MVT) fuel injection system was developed by GE specifically for this purpose. It consists of 93 individual venturi tubes arrayed across the flow path, with four fuel injection orifices at the throat of each venturi. 

Hydrochloric acid may conveniently be prepared by combustion of hydrogen with chlorine. In a typical process dry hydrogen chloride is passed into a vapour blender to be mixed with an equimolar proportion of dry acetylene. The presence of chlorine may cause an explosion and thus a device is used to detect any sudden rise in temperature. In such circumstances the hydrogen chloride is automatically diverted to the atmosphere. The mixture of gases is then led to a multi-tubular reactor, each tube of which is packed with a mercuric chloride catalyst on an activated carbon support. The reaction is initiated by heat but once it has started cooling has to be applied to control the highly exothermic reaction at about 90-100°C. In addition to the main reaction the side reactions shown in Figure 12.6 may occur. 

Do not rely on the sense of smell to deteet hydrogen sulphide leaks. Strips of wet lead aeetate paper turn blaek on exposure to hydrogen sulphide and offer a simple indieator, as do eolour indieator tubes. For plant-seale operations, instrumental multi-point deteetors and alarms are likely to be more appropriate. 

The Golay equation [9] for open tubular columns has been discussed in the previous chapter. It differs from the other equations by the absence of a multi-path term that can only be present in packed columns. The Golay equation can also be used to examine the dispersion that takes place in connecting tubes, detector cells and other sources of extra-column dispersion. Extra-column dispersion will be considered in another chapter but the use of the Golay equation for this purpose will be briefly considered here. Reiterating the Golay equation from the previous chapter. 

This view is supported by our observation of hemi-spherically capped single-wall and multi-wall tubes on the same samples. It suggests that the Cf,o-derived tube could be the core of possible multilayer concentric graphitic tubes. After the single-shell tube has been...
