The catalyst for the in situ FTIR-transmission measurements was pressed into a self-supporting wafer (diameter 3 cm, weight 10 mg). The wafer was placed at the center of the quartz-made IR cell which was equipped with two NaCl windows. The NaCI window s were cooled with water flow, thus the catalyst could be heated to 1000 K in the cell. A thermocouple was set close to the sample wafer to detect the temperature of the catalyst. The cell was connected to a closed-gas-circulation system which was linked to a vacuum line. The gases used for adsorption and reaction experiments were O, (99.95%), 0, (isotope purity, 97.5%), H2 (99.999%), CH4 (99.99%) and CD4 (isotope purity, 99.9%). For the reaction, the gases were circulated by a circulation pump and the products w ere removed by using an appropriate cold trap (e.g. dry-ice ethanol trap). The IR measurements were carried out with a JASCO FT/IR-7000 sprectrometer. Most of the spectra were recorded w ith 4 cm resolution and 50 scans. 

For the purpose of this paper, ultra high speed is defined as A reaction time of less than 500 milliseconds, measured from the instant of fire detection to water flow at nozzle.

The research group led by Dr. Djilali at the University of Victoria has developed an ex situ experimental technique using fluorescent microscopy to study the liquid water transport mechanisms inside diffusion layers and on their surfaces [239-243]. The diffusion layer is usually placed between two plates (the top plate may or may not have a channel) the liquid water, which is pumped through a syringe pump, flows from the bottom plate through the DL. Fluorescein dye is added to the water for detection with the microscope. 

Umemoto [36] used external generation, followed by stopped-flow detection, to study the protonation of anthracene, anthraquinone, and benzophenone anions in dimethylformamide-water solutions using an apparatus similar to Figure 29.20c. The measured half-lives were about 1.5 min or more. In the case of anthracene, the decomposition rates agreed with those obtained from polaro-graphic measurements and the following scheme was proposed.

For the second pilot test, the 14-40 SMZ was excavated from the frame, a nylon screen on the barrier frame was removed, and two sections of the frame were refilled with 8-14 mesh (2.4-1.4 mm) SMZ. The remaining one-third of the frame was filled with iron/SMZ pellets as part of another project. After steady water flow was reestablished, chromate and PCE were injected over a period of eight weeks. No plume deflection occurred in the test with the 8-14 SMZ. The SMZ fully intercepted the contaminant plume and prevented migration of contaminants downgradient of the barrier. Near the end of the test, chromate and PCE were detected in samplers installed in the upgradient portion of the SMZ. The estimated retardation factors for chromate and PCE in the pilot test were 44 and 39, respectively. These retardation factors are very close to the values of 42 and 29 for chromate and PCE predicted from laboratory sorption isotherm experiments.

Head-type flowmeters include orifice plates, venturi tubes, weirs, flumes, and many others. They change the velocity or direction of the flow, creating a measurable differential pressure, or "pressure head," in the fluid. Head metering is one of the most ancient of flow detection techniques. There is evidence that the Egyptians used weirs for measurement of irrigation water flows in the days of the Pharaohs and that the Romans used orifices to meter water to households in Caesar s time. In the 18th century, Bernoulli established the basic relationship between the pressure head and velocity head, and Venturi published on the flow tube bearing his name. 

Fig. 4.4. Lucifer yellow carbohydrazide dye indicating water flow applied to a deep-root chamber, and detected in mycorrhizal hyphae in a hyphal chamber after crossing airgaps that restrict diffusion. Panel A is an AM hypha that transported the dye during the night (hydraulic lift). Panel B shows a mycorrhizal fungus hydrophilic tip, with hydraulically lifted water exuding out the tip onto a piece of organic detritus. Photographs by Louise Egerton-Warburton and details of the experiment can be found in Querejeta et al. (2003).

Very recently, an interesting study of the liquid holdup in a packed column with cocurrent gas-liquid upflow was carried out by the Pittsburgh Energy Research Center.22 In this study, a series of radial conductivity measurements was performed on air-water flow through a 10.2-cm-i.d. clear acrylic column, with various packings. Three packing sizes (1.9-cm x 1.9-cm, 0.635-cm x 0.635-cm, and 0.32-cm x 0.32-cm cylinders) were examined. The conductivity detection system comprised two solid stainless-steel rods fitted with Teflon jackets, leaving only the...
