Typical Design Calculation

The overall requirement is 1.0—2.0 s for low energy waste compared to typical design standards of 2.0 s for RCRA ha2ardous waste units. The most important, ie, rate limiting steps are droplet evaporation and chemical reaction. The calculated time requirements for these steps are only approximations and subject to error. For example, formation of a skin on the evaporating droplet may inhibit evaporation compared to the theory, whereas secondary atomization may accelerate it. Errors in estimates of the activation energy can significantly alter the chemical reaction rate constant, and the pre-exponential factor from equation 36 is only approximate. Also, interactions with free-radical species may accelerate the rate of chemical reaction over that estimated solely as a result of thermal excitation therefore, measurements of the time requirements are desirable. 

The safety fac tor used in the calculations is a matter of judgment based on confidence in the design. A value of 1.10 is normally not considered excessive. Typical design parameters are shown in Tables 11-1 and 11-2.

This work was carried out to confirm minimal temperature dependence of Ps02 H20 over sodium citrate solutions and to determine the dependence of Pgo P O on solution composition. Measurements of pH as a function of temperature and solution composition have been performed in order to separate the effects of the specific buffer on Psc / O Design calculations are presented to estimate the steam requirements on typical applications. 

A typical design uses multiple tubes operating in parallel. For example, 11 tubes, each coated for 30 cm with MgO, provide a calculated efficiency of 85.7% at a total flow rate of 20 L/min (with D = 0.15 cm2/s). A laboratory determination at RH = 30-80% and T = 21-32 °C yielded an efficiency of 87.8 5.1% (n = 5), a value consistent with the calculated result (47). Experimental results can be corrected for denuder penetration. Denuders for atmospheric nitrate use are normally designed for >95% efficiency. 

A provisional heat-transfer coefficient is obtained from Ref. E2 (p.513, Table 12.1), assumed to be typical of a transfer coefficient for two gaseous streams. This reference suggests a value of U0 = 25 W/m2 K), however this value is multiplied by a factor of four because of the very large temperature difference and good gas velocities encountered in this application, Therefore, the value of U0 = 100 W/m2 K) is used in the design calculations. 

Although the linear coefficient of thermal expansion varies with temperature, it can be considered constant within typical design and processing conditions. It is especially high for polyolefins, where it ranges from 1.5 x 10 4K-1 to 2 x 10 4K 1 however, fibers and other fillers significantly reduce thermal expansion. A rule of mixtures is sufficient to calculate the thermal expansion coefficient of polymers that are filled with powdery or small particles as well as with short fibers. In this case, the rule of mixtures is written as... 

One further step is desirable for obtaining relative energies, namely performing on the CASSCF(2,2)/6-31G geometry a calculation designed to treat electron correlation better than was done by the CASSCF calculation. Recall that Hartree-Fock (also called SCF) calculations treat electron correlation only very approximately (Section 5.4.1). In a typical CASSCF calculation most of the electrons, i.e. those... 

Table 3 provides typical maximum values for retentivities under standard conditions. The sorption efficiency e is a variable determined by the characteristics of the particular system, including concentration and temperature. For the purposes of engineering design calculations, it is normally assumed to be unity. 

The typical design of a question with five correct choices is to have one distracter that is very close to the correct answer, two that are still similar, and one that can usually be ruled out almost immediately. The structure of the distracters will vary according to the type of question that is being asked. For example, if a calculation is involved, the test-makers will often use various incorrect forms of the formulas to obtain the distracters. For example, take a problem that is a calculation using Charles s law, which states that the ratio of volume to absolute temperature will remain constant for a gas at constant pressure ... 

Select standard speed and motor horsepower. Although design calculations have determined that an agitator speed of 65 r/min is required, only certain standard output speeds are available with typical industrial gear reducers. The closest standard speed is 68 r/min. If 68 r/min is used instead of the calculated 65 r/min, the bulk velocity will increase to about 0.42 ft/s, a change imperceptible with respect to agitator performance. 

Typically, the calculations for two-phase pressure drop are too complicated for hand calculations. It is recommended that the design engineer use one of the available programs specifically designed for such calculations. In addition, an excellent review of two-phase flow is presented in Govier and Aziz (1972). 

The piping inner diameter is typically designed for turbulent flow, Reynolds number greater than 2100, over the designed flow rate range. The units for performing this calculation are provided in the CCS system density (g/cm ), particle size (cm), velocity (cm/s) and viscosity (g/cms or poise). Note, the most common unit for viscosity is... 

Fluidized-Bed Dryers In design mode, the required gas flow rate can be obtained from a heat and mass balance. Bed cross-sectional area is found from the scoping design calculation the required gas velocity should be found from fluidization tests, but for initial design puiposes, a typical value is 0.5 m/s.
