  • Ultrafiltration Process

    2032 Words  | 5 Pages

    rapid development of ultrafiltration for industrial processes is possible by the advent of anisotropic, high-flux membranes capable of distinguishing among molecular sizes of 10 A to 10 µ size ranges (Porter, 1972). The high molecular solute which flows through, but does not pass through the membrane is released as retentate (concentrate). The solution that passes through the membrane is known as permeate, which is shown Figure 1. This figure demonstrates the basic structure of a hollow membrane where

  • The Formula of Succinic Acid

    2212 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Formula of Succinic Acid Succinic acid is a diprotic, which means it donates two protons per molecule. Succinic acid can be completely neutralised by sodium hydroxide. The indicator most suitable for this experiment is phenolphthalein, it is colourless in acids and pink in alkalises. The half way stage is about pH 9.3, this is when it will either change from colourless to a very pale pink or from pink to colourless. To determine the relative formula mass of succinic acid I am going to

  • Productivity Index Case Study

    the productivity index; as well as, being the preferred symbol by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The productivity index of a well is a measure of the production rate achievable under a given drawdown pressure, which is the difference between the average reservoir pressure and the flowing bottom hole pressure. Defined as the flow rate per unit pressure drop, the productivity index gives an indication of the production potential of a well. From the bpss equation above: Therefore:

The surface of Alamkouh is characterized by a system of ridges and depressions and oriented parallel to the overall flow direction. The most part of the Alamkouh surface is covered by debris. Typical origins of such debris accumulation include debris-laden snow avalanches, episodic rock avalanches and long-lasting rockfall activity, heavy rains or weathering processes

    Introduction: • Rapid mixing is achieved by adding a coagulant chemical to a stream and adding turbulence. The turbulence can be achieved by mechanical agitators or baffled basins. When mixing is not efficient the chemical could be wasted or lower rates of particle aggregation. • The purpose of the lab is to analyses the water using mass balance analysis, so the concentration of the coagulant downstream can be determined. • The theoretical numbers were vastly different from measured results, this

    equilibrium with a neat diagram. A typical packed bed is a cylindrical column that is overflowing with a fit packing material. The liquid is circulated as consistently as possible at the top of the column and flows downward, wetting the packing material. The gas is admitting at the bottom, and flows upward, contacting the liquid in a countercurrent direction. An example of a packed bed is an absorber .Besides that, the gas consists of some carrier species that is unsolvable in the liquid (such as air)

    insufficient for resolution between similar compounds and quantification of compounds. During this time, to decrease flow-through time pressure liquid chromatography began to be used, thus reducing time taken for purification and separation of compounds being isolated by column chromatography. As flow rates were Inconsistent, the question if it was good to have a constant flow rate or constant pressure was debated (Chatrabhuji et al., 2015). In the mid-1970's, High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)

    edu/Physical_Chemistry/Thermodynamics/State_Functions/Enthalpy) When the reaction is giving off heat, it is exothermic. In this case, the enthalpy change is negative, since the reaction is going from high energy to low energy due to the loss of heat energy to its surroundings. If energy flows from the surrounding environment and heat is being taken in, it is endothermic. The change is positive as the system is gaining energy in the form of heat. Bond Making and Bond Enthalpy Bond enthalpy is the energy that is required
