Volume conversion formula

Conversion Formulas. Often no convenient experimental method exists for evaluating a derivative needed for the numerical solution of a problem. In this case we must convert the partial derivative to relate it to other quantities that ate readily available. The key to obtaining an expression for a particular partial derivative is to start with the total derivative for the dependent variable and to realize that a derivative can be obtained as the ratio of two differentials [8]. For example, let us convert the derivatives of the volume function discussed in the preceding section.

The basic units are those into which all values are converted when a calculation is conducted (kg for mass-bound substances and kJ for forms of energy). To facilitate the comparability with the inventory data, entry units were defined using a conversion formula and established as display units. In the inventory (Table 3.2) most of the substances were expressed in kg except for water and gas-oil, for which volume display units (m water and m gasoil, respectively) were defined using the density as conversion factor. Similarly, kWh was selected as display unit for electricity, wind power, and natural gas. 

The fact that pressure and temperature influence the chemical potential of substances and therefore the drive for transformations can be considered a result of coupling of mechanical, thermal, and chemical quantities. With rare exceptions, volume V or entropy S and the amounts of substance , are coupled in the same direction V tt and S tt However, the couplings between V and as well as between S and exhibit no directional preference because starting and final substances can exchange their roles according to which conversion formula is chosen. 

In Eq. (8c) the volume V of the solution is given in cubic decimeters. Conversion formulas for the frequently used scales of composition variables are given in Table I. If in a mixture the solvent itself is a mixture of components (mixed solvent), the quantities and can be defined as solvent quantities when using the relations... 

The rate of decomposition in unmanaged landfills, as measured by gas production, reaches a peak within the first 2 years and then slowly tapers off, continuing in many cases for periods up to 25 years or more. The total volume of the gases released during anaerobic decomposition can be estimated in a number of ways. If all the organic constituents in the wastes (with the exception of plastics, rubber, and leather) are represented with a generahzed formula of the form QH O N, the total volume of gas can be estimated by using Eq. (25-27) with the assumption of completed conversion to carbon dioxide and methane. 

In this equation all percentages are on a volume basis. The term XSA refers to the excess air over the stoichiometric requirement. The volumes of the air and gas must be measured at the same temperature and pressure. For consistency, it is best to first convert to actual conditions (i.e., from actual cubic feet (ACF) to standard cubic feet (SCF). The following formula can be used for this conversion ... 

The pressure dependence of the reaction free energy is equivalent to the volume change resulting from one formula conversion ... 

Again, conversion factors are the way to approach these kinds of problems. Each problem features a certain volume of solution that contains a certain solute at a certain concentration. To begin each problem, convert your volume into liters — part (c) has already done this for you. Then rearrange the molarity formula to solve for moles ... 

Some formulas are of course sensitive to the units used. These include a conversion constant, a value which is given in Table 7.1 for some unit combinations. The formulas without such a conversion constant are not sensitive to the units used as long as the same units are used for the same data (all pressures, all specific volumes, etc.). 

The incubation time is generally about seven minutes, although longer and shorter times can be obtained by changing the air intake or buffered substrate volume or both. With these variables the usable scale can be conveniently adjusted to individual needs. After the exact incubation time has been determined there is a simple formula conversion to K-A units. 

The equation, a direct consequence, or rather an expression, of the second law (as discussed on p. 26), has been repeatedly verified. In the first place it corresponds exactly to the law governing change of melting point with pressure, where q is the latent heat of fusion, v the increase of volume on fusion. And then Eeicher verified the above formula experimentally, while Mallard and Le Chatelier did the same for the conversion of silver iodide, which at 146° passes from hexagonal to regular. Eoozeboom, finally, has verified the equation for the fusion of the hydrate HBr.2H20 at — 11 3 which is due to chemical decomposition. 

The reaction described by the data i Tables 2-1 and 2-2 is to be carried out in a PFR. The entering molar flow rate is 5 mol/s. Calculate the reactor volume necessary to achieve 80% conversiou in a PFR. (a) First, use one of the integration formulas given in Appendix A.4 to determine the PFR reactor volume, (b) Next, shade the area in Figtae 2-1 which when multiplied by would give the PFR volume, (c) Make a qualitative sketch of the conversion, X, and the rate of reaction, down the length (volume) of the reactor.
