More detailed analyses of sapphyrin anion chelation in solution were made using a full range of tricks borrowed from the supramolecular field. Thus both spectroscopic techniques (e.g., NMR, UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy) and transport studies (carried out in a model Pressman type U-tube membrane system ) were employed. From these analyses, it became clear that sapphyrin does in fact bind various negatively charged substrates in solution, but does so both with variable affinity and oft-times remarkable selectivity. These findings/conclusions are detailed further in the paragraphs below. 

One of fhe simplesf and mosf useful pressure measuring devices is fhe manomefer. There are several variations of fhe manomefer. In this section we will discuss two types U-tube and inclined manometer.

A simple mercury manometer has already been described (see Fig. II, 19, 2). Another type that is frequently employed is the U-tube manometer illustrated in Fig. 7/,2<3,1. It consists of a U-tube filled with mercury and mounted on a wooden stand. The scale B, graduated in... 

Kettle-type reboilers, evaporators, etc., are often U-tube exchangers with enlarged shell sec tions for vapor-liquid separation. The U-tube bundle replaces the floating-heat bundle of Fig. 11-36. ... 

Tube-Side Passes Most exchangers have an even number of tube-side passes. The fixed-tube-sheet exchanger (which has no shell cover) usually has a return cover without any flow nozzles as shown in Fig. 11-35M Types L and N are also used. All removable-bundle designs (except for the U tube) have a floating-head cover directing the flow of tube-side fluid at the floating tube eet. 

Kettle-type-reboiler costs are 15 to 25 percent greater than for equivalent internal-floatiug-head or U-tube exchangers. The higher extra is applicable with relatively large kettle-to-port-diameter ratios...

The price of a shell and tube exchanger depends on the type of exchanger, i.e., fixed tube, U-tube, double tube sheets, and removable bundles. The tube side pressure, shell side pressure, and materials of construction also affect the price. If prices cannot be obtained from endors, correlating in-house data by plotting /fr vs. number of ft with correction factors for the variables that affect price will allow estimating with fair accuracy. If not enough in-house data is available to establish good correlations. it will be necessary to use the literature, such as References 16. 17. and 18. 

The apparatus consists of a 3-1. three-necked round-bottomed creased flask, with standard ball joints and an indented cone-shaped bottom (Note 1), which is heated by means of an electric mantle and is equipped with a high-speecT stirrer of stainless steel driven by a 10,000 r.p.m. motor (Note 2). One side neck is fitted with a bulb-type air-cooled condenser (Note 3), on top of which fits a 1-1. pressure-equalizing Hershberg dropping funnel (Note 4). The top of the dropping funnel is to be connected in turn to a U-tube containing a 1-cm. head of mercury. The entire apparatus is securely fastened to a sturdy support. 

The question is often asked. How often should calibration be carried out Is it sufficient to do it once, or should it be repeated The answer to this question depends on the instrument type. A very simple instrument that is robust and stable may require calibrating only once during its lifetime. Some fundamental meters do not need calibration at all. A Pitot-static tube or a liquid U-tube manometer are examples of such simple instruments. On the other hand, complicated instruments with many components or sensitive components may need calibration at short intervals. Also fouling and wearing are reasons not only for maintenance but also calibration. Thus the proper calibration interval depends on the instrument itself and its use. The manufacturers recommendations as well as past experience are often the only guidelines. 

The sensitivity of the well manometer can be adjusted by changing the angle or and can be some 30 times that of the U-tube. This type is also often called a micromanometer due to its ability to measure very small pressure differences. Several other types of micromanometers and fluid manometers are also available. 

In. sclcciing an exchanger, one must know the advantages and disadvantages td each type. The three basic types of shell-and-tube exchangers are fixed tube sheet, floating head, and U-tube, Table 3-1 summarizes the comparison between these three exchangers.

Capillary viscometers are simple and inexpensive. They are normally constructed from glass and resemble a U-tube with a capillary section between two bulbs. The initial design originated with Ostwald and is shown as part A in Figure 3.2-1. The Cannon-Fenske type, a popular modification of the Ostwald design that moves the bulbs into the same vertical axis, is shown as part B in Figure 3.2-1.

Remember to keep a standard length if possible and maintain a tube-side pass condition to realize the film conditions established in Step 4. U-tubes are a good selection for this type of service, and a ketde-type shell is usually used. 

For shell boilers, superheaters may be one of three types, depending upon the degree of superheat required. The first and simplest is the pendant superheater installed in the front smokebox (Figure 23.7). The maximum degree of superheat available from this would be around 45°C. The second pattern is again installed in the front smokebox but with this, the elements are horizontal U tubes which extend into the boiler smoketubes. The degree of superheat from this pattern is around 80°C. Third, a superheater may be installed in the reversal chamber of the boiler. A wetback chamber presents problems with lack of space, and therefore a semi-wetback, dryback or water-cooled wall chamber may be considered. Maximum degree of superheat would be around 100°C. 

The U-tube (U-bundle) type shown in Figure 12.4 requires only one tube sheet and is cheaper than the floating-head types but is limited in use to relatively clean fluids as the tubes and bundle are difficult to clean. It is also more difficult to replace a tube in this type. 

The tube-sheet design pressure AP depends on the type of exchanger. For an exchanger with confined heads or U-tubes it is taken as the maximum difference between the shell-side and tube-side operating pressures with due consideration being given to the possible loss of pressure on either side. For exchangers with unconfined heads (plates fixed to the shell) the load on the tube-sheets due to differential expansion of the shell and tubes must be added to that due to the differential pressure. 

The adsorbate gas must be mixed with the carrier gas in the required concentrations for analysis. This can be done prior to analysis and a number of tanks for various concentrations can be kept, or the mixing can be done during the analysis with a gas mixer. The sample holder can allow the gas to flow through the sample (such as a modified U-tube), or a vacuum can be pulled on the sample, which requires a sample holder consisting of a single stem with a bulb at the bottom to hold sample. The most common type of detector is the thermal conductivity...
