    Notes: The dynamic behavior of two continuous stirred tank reactors in series has been investigated for free radical solution polymerization of styrene with a binary mixture of two initiators having different thermal decomposition activities. For a wide range of initiator feed composition, both reactors exhibit quite complex nonlinear steady state and transient behavior. When the reactor residence time is used as a bifurcation parameter, the second reactor can have up to five steady states. For certain range of reactor operating conditions, bifurcations to various types of periodic solutions have been observed, such as Hopf bifurcation, isolas, period doubling, period-doubling cascade, and homoclinics. The effects of other reactor variables, such as total initiator concentration, coolant temperature, and reactor volume ratio on the reactor dynamics, are illustrated to show the complex dynamic behavior of the two-reactor system catalyzed by a mixture of t-butyl perbenzoate and benzoyl peroxide.

    Notes: The dynamic behavior of the solution polymerization of styrene in a continuous stirred tank reactor is analyzed with a mixture of tert-butyl perbenzoate and benzoyl peroxide as an initiator system. In the modeling of the reactor, a viscosity dependent reactor wall heat transfer coefficient is used to account for the changing heat transfer efficiency as monomer conversion and polymer molecular weight increase. The steady state and bifurcation behaviors have been investigated with the reactor residence time, initiator feed composition, initiator concentration, feed solvent volume fraction, and coolant temperature as bifurcation parameters. Unlike the reactors with constant heat transfer coefficient, the present system exhibits relatively simple steady state and dynamic bifurcation behaviors. Oscillatory behavior is observed only when the solvent volume fraction in the feed exceeds 0.2. The dynamic simulation of the reactor also indicates that a feedback temperature controller may fail to maintain the reactor temperature when the heat transfer coefficient changes as a result of process disturbances.

    Notes: The steady state and dynamic behavior of a continuous stirred tank reactor has been analyzed for free radical solution polymerization of styrene initiated by a mixture of two initiators having different thermal stabilities. From the steady state analysis of the reactor model with a mean residence time as a bifurcation parameter, four unique regions of steady state solutions are identified in an operating parameter space for a given initiator feed composition. A variety of complex bifurcation behavior such as multiple steady states, Hopf bifurcation and limit cycles have been observed and their stability characteristics have been analyzed. The effects of feed initiator composition and the concentration of the initiator in the feed stream on the reactor dynamics are also presented.

    Notes: A packed bed model has been adopted to develop a general correlation applicable to the flow of Newtonian fluids through all types of woven metal screens. Both of the main theoretical approaches to studying pressure drop in packed systems have been used by visualizing the screen as a collection of submerged objects with surface area to unit volume ratio a for laminar flow, and as a bundle of tubes of diameter D for turbulent flow. In the usual manner viscous and inertial energy losses are added to give an expression for the total pressure loss. Rearrangement of the general equation to the form of a friction factor yields a unique definition of the Reynolds number for screens NRe = ρu/μa2D. Procedures are described for collection of pressure drop-velocity data for the flow of nitrogen and helium through plain square, full twill, fourdrinier, plain dutch, and twilled dutch weaves. The data are used to derive a viscous resistance coefficient α = 8.61 and an inertial resistance coefficient β = 0.52. The validity of the correlation equation is tested by using additional data from the literature. The correlation successfully predicts pressure drop for a Reynolds number range of 0.1 to 1,000, void fractions from 0.35 to 0.76, screen pore diameters from 5 to 550 μ, mesh sizes from 30 to 2,400 wires/in., and surface area to unit volume ratios from 1,200 to 29,000 ft.-1.

    Notes: Capillary phenomena arising from vapor phase condensation in porous media are discussed in the light of an exact interface curvature theory and a self-consistent thermodynamic theory. The system studied consists of liquid condensed in the form of pendular rings at the contact points between identical spherical particles. The geometrical parameters - the curvature, the confined volume, and the surface area of the liquid-vapor interface - must be expressed in terms of incomplete elliptic integrals. In addition several corrections are introduced for the classical Kelvin relation for lowering of vapor pressure. One of these is based on the density dependence of the isothermal thermodynamic susceptibility. Since the susceptibility vanishes at large negative pressures, an upper limit to the curvature is established. The balance equation for the extensive free energy is considered from the point of view of hydrostatic principles.

    Notes: Experimental flow rate data are presented for saturated liquid, saturated vapor, and two-phase liquid-vapor carbon dioxide through a convergent nozzle and a square-edged orifice. The data cover the range from the triple-point pressure to the critical pressure. Charts have been prepared for this complete range at critical flow. Results are also presented for subcritical flow.The tests at various back pressures indicate that the saturated liquid behaved as a cold liquid without evaporation ahead of the throat.Saturated vapor became supersaturated in the nozzle, and the vapor behaved as if no condensation occurred.Equations are presented for the flow rates of saturated vapor, and two-phase mixtures in the critical flow region.A Mollier (pressure-enthalpy) diagram is used to determine the flow rates of saturated vapor and two-phase mixtures where supersaturtation takes place. In these cases, the lines of constant specific volume or density are extrapolated from the superheated region into the normal two-phase region to obtain values corrected for supersaturation.

    Notes: This paper presents theoretical studies of a method of using a radioactive tracer technique to evaluate the kinetic data of heterogeneous catalytic reactions that are coupled with a Knudsen type of pore diffusion. By superimposing a transient radioactive tracer response over the steady state concentration profile in the catalyst particle, one can establish an implicit relation between the total amount of radioactive components diffused out of the particle and the kinetic data of the reaction system. This relation can then be used to evaluate kinetic data of the reaction system. A detailed study of general monomolecular complex systems is given. Use of the method for nonlinear systems is also included.

    Notes: Resin flow and fiber spreading during the prepregging process were investigated experimentally using a scale-down version of a commercial hot-melt prepregger with bismaleimides and carbon fibers as model systems. Specifically, several dimensionless parameters such as the Prepreg Flow Number, fractional resin uptake, resin distribution function, fractional width change, and prepregging efficiency were defined to characterize the prepregging process as well as the quality of the prepreg. Fiber spreading during the prepregging process was observed to be a viscoelastic phenomenon depending on the impregnation temperature. For resin impregnation into collimated fiber tows, all the experimental data points obtained at different operating conditions were superimposed onto a single line showing a temperature-pressure-velocity superposition for the prepregging process as predicted by the definition of the Prepreg Flow Number (PFN). Finally, three fundamental steps of the prepregging process were identified and confirmed with cross-sectional micrographs of unaged prepregs produced at different temperatures.
