The CUD separates operations with GMMOs into two types, A and B. Type A operations must fulfil two criteria, its purpose should fall into one of five categories, teaching, research, development, non-industrial or noncommercial operations and it must be small-scale. All operations falling outside these five categories are classified as Type B. 

Suitable inlets commonly used for liquids or solutions can be separated into three major classes, two of which are discussed in Parts A and C (Chapters 15 and 17). The most common method of introducing the solutions uses the nebulizer/desolvation inlet discussed here. For greater detail on types and operation of nebulizers, refer to Chapter 19. Note that, for all samples that have been previously dissolved in a liquid (dissolution of sample in acid, alkali, or solvent), it is important that high-purity liquids be used if cross-contamination of sample is to be avoided. Once the liquid has been vaporized prior to introduction of residual sample into the plasma flame, any nonvolatile impurities in the liquid will have been mixed with the sample itself, and these impurities will appear in the results of analysis. The problem can be partially circumvented by use of blanks, viz., the separate examination of levels of residues left by solvents in the absence of any sample. 

Three common types of nozzle are shown diagrammatically. Types A and K are similar, with sharp cutoffs on the ends of the outer and inner capillaries to maximize shear forces on the liquid issuing from the end of the inner tube. In types K and C, the inner capillary does not extend to the end of the outer tube, and there is a greater production of aerosol per unit time. These concentric-tube nebulizers operate at argon gas flows of about 1 1/min. 

Difficulties of Moving-Bed Operation. The use of a moving bed iatroduces the problem of mechanical erosion of the adsorbent. Obtaining uniform flow of both soHd and Hquid ia beds of large diameter is also difficult. The performance of this type of operation can be gready impaired by nonuniform flow of either phase. 

An air valve, sometimes called the air-activated valve, is widely used for automated food handling operations. Although electronic or electric control boxes may be a part of the system, the valve itself generally is air-activated, and is more reflable than other types. Air-operated valves are used for in-place cleaning systems, and for the transfer and flow control of various products. 

Internal Flow. Depending on the atomizer type and operating conditions, the internal fluid flow can involve compHcated phenomena such as flow separation, boundary layer growth, cavitation, turbulence, vortex formation, and two-phase flow. The internal flow regime is often considered one of the most important stages of Hquid a tomiza tion because it determines the initial Hquid disturbances and conditions that affect the subsequent Hquid breakup and droplet dispersion. 

In advancing-front or layer melt crystallizations, mother Hquor flows over a cooled surface on which material is crystallized. The advancing front of crystals grows in the direction from the cooled surface into the mother Hquor. A variety of techniques can be used to take advantage of this type of Operation. 

Vessels for high-temperature serviee may be beyond the temperature hmits of the stress tables in the ASME Codes. Sec tion TII, Division 1, makes provision for construction of pressure vessels up to 650°C (1200°F) for carbon and low-alloy steel and up to 815°C (1500°F) for stainless steels (300 series). If a vessel is required for temperatures above these values and above 103 kPa (15 Ibf/in"), it would be necessaiy, in a code state, to get permission from the state authorities to build it as a special project. Above 815°C (1500°F), even the 300 series stainless steels are weak, and creep rates increase rapidly. If the metal which resists the pressure operates at these temperatures, the vessel pressure and size will be limited. The vessel must also be expendable because its life will be short. Long exposure to high temperature may cause the metal to deteriorate and become brittle. Sometimes, however, economics favor this type of operation.

Gravity vessels are suitable for low-, medium-, and high-temperature operation in the last case, the housing will be lined completely with refrac tory brick. Dust-recoveiy equipment is minimized in this type of operation since the bed actually performs as a dust col-lec tor itself, and dust in the bed will not, in a successful application, exist in large quantities. 

In case A the solvents are immiscible, so the rate of feed solvent alone in the feed stream F is the same as the rate of feed solvent alone in the raffinate stream R. In like manner, the rate of extraction solvent alone is the same in the stream entering S as in the extract stream leaving E (Fig. 15-12). The ratio of extraction-solvent to feed-solvent flow rates is therefore S /F = E /R. A material balance can be written around the feed end of the extrac tor down to any stage n (see Fig. 15-12) and then rearranged to a McCabe-Thiele type of operating line with a slope of F /S [Eq. (15-11)]. 

Although the continuous-countercurrent type of operation has found limited application in the removal of gaseous pollutants from process streams (Tor example, the removal of carbon dioxide and sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide and carbonyl sulfide), by far the most common type of operation presently in use is the fixed-bed adsorber. The relatively high cost of continuously transporting solid particles as required in steady-state operations makes fixed-bed adsorption an attractive, economical alternative. If intermittent or batch operation is practical, a simple one-bed system, cycling alternately between the adsorption and regeneration phases, 1 suffice. 

Metal surfaces in a well-designed, well-operated cooling water system will establish an equilibrium with the environment by forming a coating of protective corrosion product. This covering effectively isolates the metal from the environment, thereby stifling additional corrosion. Any mechanical, chemical, or chemical and mechanical condition that affects the ability of the metal to form and maintain this protective coating can lead to metal deterioration. Erosion-corrosion is a classic example of a chemical and mechanical condition of this type. A typical sequence of events is ... 

In the first two types a brake shoe, operated by an external auxiliary supply, is mounted on the extended shaft at the NDE (non-driving end) of the motor. These brakes are normally operated after the motor is switched OFF. The heat of braking appears in the external circuit and the motor windings are not affected. For motors with this braking, only the starting heat need be considered, depending upon the frequency of starts and not the heat of braking.
