Utilization factor, global

It is also possible to base a utilization factor on the bulk gas phase composition, much in the same way as was done already with the c-concept for reaction and transport around and inside a catalyst particle. Let this global utilization factor. 

It is also possible to base a utilization factor on the bulk gas-phase composition, much in the same way as was done already with the x q concept for reaction and transport around and inside a catalyst particle. Let this global utilization factor, based on the bulk gas phase composition, t c, be defined as the ratio of the actual rate per unit volume of liquid to the rate that would occur at a liquid concentration equivalent to the bulk gas-phase partial pressure of the reactant A ... 

In all the analyses presented in this chapter, a capacity utilization factor of 90% is used unless otherwise noted, as in Figure 41. It appears that currently the overall utilization factor for methanol plants on a global basis is around 85%, maybe sli tly more. Some plants appear to have capacity utilization factors much lower, for example, 80% and less. 

From a global view, plant protein sources (cereals, legumes, oilseeds, vegetables, fruits) have always been the primary source of dietary energy and protein for the majority of the world s population. In addition, in recent years, the use of vegetable protein products as sources of dietary protein, as supplements, and as extenders of more traditional animal protein sources has been increasing markedly in the developed countries. These factors are responsible for our interest in determining the effects of plant protein sources on the utilization of minerals in the human diet.

Carbon dioxide (CO2), the natural product of fossil-fuel combustion, has been recognized as the main factor for the global warming. Among the various approaches to utilize the CO2 gas, there has been a considerable interest in biological CO2 fixation as a clean and energy-efficient technique [1]. 

The global expansion of industrial and consumer-oriented societies is linked to large-scale industrial production and consumerism that utilize a vast array of numerous chemical compounds. The listings of such chemicals are too vast to present in this paper but some examples will be discussed here. Environmental contaminants in nature typically involve complex mixtures, partitioning factors, chemical transformations, and abiotic and biotic interactions. The biological and environmental effects are complex and may be additive, synergistic and even antagonistic in nature.
