Upper Section Design

At the very top of the vessel there are no induced stresses introduced by wind or seismic loads the only considerations are the functional design of the vessel and the stress considerations when the vessel is operating either under partial vacuum or under a pressure greater than atmospheric. Furthermore, at the very top of the vessel, there is usually little static dead weight to consider in the stress analysis except when condensers, heat exchangers or other auxiliary apparatus are attached to the top.

An alternative type of downhole mud motor is the mud turbine, (multistage axial flow turbine) which directly drives the bit. The tool consists of an upper section containing the turbine blades and lower section with bearings. As mud is pumped through the upper section the blades are turned. Turbines are designed to rotate at higher speed than the displacement motor. The higher rotation speed requires diamond or composite bits. 

The diffusion tube was designed and constructed such that the length L of the upper section is equal to the length of the lower section plusihe length of the bore of stopcock A. Hence the stopcock bore and the lower section of the tube are both filled with CO2. 

This completes the trigger assembly. Now, the upper section of the barrel Is attached a screw holds the rear, and a thin metal strip l/2"wide holds the front section together. The completed crossbow Is then stained and varnished, if desired. Any design of homemade sights can be attached.leaf, peep sight, or any commercial rifle sIghts. 

The drive shaft and bowl assembly are designed to function under water in the temperature bath. Supported above the water are the drive motor, I, timing belt and pulleys, H, the speed controller, J, and upper section of the chain drive housing, K. The use of a glass water bath and glass growth chamber permits the operator to see the crystal in motion. With submillimeter seeds, the initial rotation rate is several rpm and can be increased as needed. 

In the vacuum tower, heavy liquids from the atmospheric tower, referred to as reduced crude, are fed to a vacuum furnace and heated to about 750—800 °F. To suppress coking in the furnace tubes, steam is added to increase the velocity of the hydrocarbon in the tubes. The reduced crude enters the vacuum tower flash zone, where the pressure is maintained at 20—30 mmHg absolute (2600-4000 Pa). When foaming occurs, fouling of the demister pads (sets of grids designed to minimize entrainment of heavier liquids into the upper sections of the tower) above the flash zone can occur, side stream gas oil products will be discolored, and gas oil end-point specification cannot be met. Again, silicone additives are used. The antifoam is normally injected into the feed to the... 

Long-term tests with a TW-SCWO reactor designed specifically for this apphcation will have to be done to demonstrate the operability of the TW-SCWO without excessive clogging and corrosion. The tests should also determine whether transient pressure surges or fluctuations could temporarily or permanently plug the transpiration holes. Demo II results show that, without the protection of transpiration water, the upper section of the platelet liner is subject to severe corrosion and salt deposition. Therefore, transpiration water flow must be maintained. 

The expander discharge stream enters the bottom of the upper (rectification) section of the deethanizer column. The upper section contains packed bed and lower section contains trays. The SCORE process include two side draw loop on the deethanizer that result in to significant improved NGL recovery compared to conventional processes. Heat supplied to deethanizer column through reboiler and reboiler is design to operate using LP and MP steams depending on the mode of SCORE process either TT or Turbo expander. 

The effect of a boiling-condensing liquid metal on its container material is most easily studied in a refluxing capsule experiment. The capsule design illustrated in Fig. 11 was used for evaluating the effect of refluxing potassium on refractory metals. A 300 mm capsule containing machined insert specimens in the condenser section was half filled with potassium and heated. Liquid metal vaporizes, condenses in the water-cooled upper section of the capsule, and...
