Mercury-manganese (HgMn) stars are a class of slowly rotating chemically peculiar main-sequence late B-type stars. More than two-thirds of the HgMn stars are known to belong to spectroscopic binaries. Aims. By determining orbital solutions for binary HgMn stars, we will be able to obtain the masses for both components and the distance to the system. Consequently, we can establish the position of both components in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and confront the chemical peculiarities of the HgMn stars with their age and evolutionary history. Methods. We initiated a program to identify interferometric binaries in a sample of HgMn stars, using the PIONIER near-infrared interferometer at the VLTI on Cerro Paranal, Chile. For the detected systems, we intend to obtain full orbital solutions in conjunction with spectroscopic data. Results. The data obtained for the SB2 system 41 Eridani allowed the determination of the orbital elements with a period of just five days and a semi-major axis of under 2 mas.

KQ Vel is a peculiar A0p star with a strong surface magnetic field of about 7.5 kG. It has a slow rotational period of nearly 8 years. Bailey et al. (A&A, 575, A115) detected a binary companion of uncertain nature and suggested that it might be a neutron star or a black hole. Aims. We analyze X-ray data obtained by the Chandra telescope to ascertain information about the stellar magnetic field and/or interaction between the star and its companion. Methods. We confirm previous X-ray detections of KQ Vel with a relatively high X-ray luminosity of 2 × 1030 erg s−1. The X-ray spectra suggest the presence of hot gas at >20 MK and, possibly, of a nonthermal component.

  • History of Chemical Engineering and Mass Transfer Operations
    Chapter 1 History of Chemical Engineering and Mass Transfer Operations A discussion on the field of chemical engineering is warranted before proceeding to some specific details regarding mass transfer operations (MTO) and the contents of this first chapter. A reasonable question to ask is: What is Chemical Engineering? An outdated, but once official definition provided by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers is: Chemical Engineering is that branch of engineering concerned with the development and application of manufacturing processes in which chemical or certain physical changes are involved. These processes may usually be resolved into a coordinated series of unit physical “operations” (hence part of the name of the chapter and book) and chemical processes. The work of the chemical engineer is concerned primarily with the design, construction, and operation of equipment and plants in which these unit operations and processes are applied. Chemistry, physics, and mathematics are the underlying sciences of chemical engineering, and economics is its guide in practice. The above definition was appropriate up until a few decades ago when the profession branched out from the chemical industry. Today, that definition has changed. Although it is still based on chemical fundamentals and physical principles, these prin- ciples have been de-emphasized in order to allow for the expansion of the profession to other areas (biotechnology, semiconductors, fuel cells, environment, etc.). These areas include environmental management, health and safety, computer applications, and economics and finance. This has led to many new definitions of chemical engineering, several of which are either too specific or too vague. A definition proposed here is simply that “Chemical Engineers solve problems”.

  • Thermodynamic Analysis of Human Heat and Mass Transfer and Their Impact on Thermal Comfort

For modelling purposes the two-node human thermal model was used. This model was improved in order to establish the exergy consumption within the human body as a consequence of heat and mass transfer and/or conver- sion. It is shown that the human bodyÕs exergy consumption in relation to selected human parameters exhibit a minimal value at certain combinations of environmental parameters. The expected thermal sensation, determined by the PMV* value, shows that there is a correlation between exergy consumption and thermal sensation. Thus, our analysis repre- sents an improvement in human thermal modelling and gives even more information about the environmental impact on expected human thermal sensation. Ó 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

  • Distillation
    Practica in Process Engineering II Distillation Introduction Distillation is the process of heating a liquid solution, or a liquid-vapor mixture, to derive off a vapor and then collecting and condensing this vapor. In the simplest case, the products of a distillation process are limited to an overhead distillate and a bottoms, whose compositions differ from that of the feed. Distillation is one of the oldest and most common method for chemical separation. Historically one of the most known application is the production of spirits from wine. Today many industries use distillation for separation within many categories of products: petroleum refining, petrochemicals, natural gas processing and, of course, beverages are just some examples. The purpose is typically the removal of a light component from a mixture of heavy components, or the other way around, the separation of a heavy product from a mixture of light components. The aim of this practicum is to refresh your theoretical knowledge on distillation and to show you working distillation column in real life. One of the goals of this practicum is also to write a good report which contains physically correct explanations for the phenomena you observed. In the following sections a description of the distillation column is given, your theoretical knowledge is refreshed and the practical tasks are discussed. The final section is about the report you are expected to hand in to pass the practicum. The report is an important part of the practicum as it trains your ability to present results in a scientific way. Description of the Distillation Column The distillation column used in this practicum is a bubble cap column with fifteen stages fed with a liquid mixture of 60% 2-propanol and 40% 2-butanol, which is fed as a boiling liquid.

Jerald Ainsworth Dean of the College of Engineering and Dean of the Graduate School Computer Science HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER MODELS FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE AT CHATTANOOGA DISTILLATION COLUMN By Simon Maina Irungu A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Engineering The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, Tennessee August 2012 ii ABSTRACT The distillation column in the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is a Pyrex glass unit with 12 separation stages, overhead receiver and a reboiler as shown on figure 8. In this thesis, mathematical models that relate to heat and mass transfer during a binary distillation of methanol-water mixture are developed and simulated through analytical and numerical methods [1]. Collections of these models were generated from theoretical correlations which yielded algebraic and differential equations that were solvable simultaneously. [2]. Thermal transfer due to temperature gradient caused heat flux through conduction, convection, and radiation respectively [3]. These heat transfer equations facilitated approximations of the reboiler surface temperature during heating and cooling processes. Mass transfer was considered during the binary distillation process; where dynamic and steady state mass transfer models were derived from methanol component’s mole balance. An average relative volatility of 4.0 for the methanol water mixture promoted reparability and mass transfer during the experimental and modeling processes.

  • Mass Transfer: Definitions and Fundamental Equations
    R. Levicky 1 Mass and Heat Transport: Fundamental Definitions. MASS TRANSFER. Mass transfer deals with situations in which there is more than one component present in a system; for instance, situations involving chemical reactions, dissolution, or mixing phenomena. A simple example of such a multicomponent system is a binary (two component) solution consisting of a solute in an excess of chemically different solvent. 1. Basic Definitions. In a multicomponent system, the velocity of different components is in general different. For example, in Fig. 1 pure gas A is present on the left and pure gas B on the right. When the wall separating the two gases is removed and the gases begin to mix, A will flow from left to right and B from right to left – clearly the velocities of A and B will be different. Fig. 1 In general, the velocity of particles (molecules) of component A (relative to the laboratory frame of reference) will be denoted vA. Then, in this frame of reference, the molar flux NA of species A (units: moles of A/(area time) ) is NA = cA vA (1) where cA is the molar concentration of A (moles of A/volume). For example, (1) could be used to calculate how many moles of A flow through an area AC per unit time (Fig. 2). In Fig. 2, we assume that the flux is normal to the area AC. Then the amount of A carried across the area AC per unit time is Amount of A carried through AC per unit time = NA AC = cA vA AC (moles / time) Since the volume swept out by the flux of A per unit time equals vA AC (see Fig.

In system involving liquids or gases, however, it is very difficult to eliminate convection from the overall mass-transfer process. Mass transfer by convection involves the transport of material between a boundary surface (such as solid or liquid surface) and a moving fluid or between two relatively immiscible, moving fluids. There are two different cases of convective mass transfer: 1. Mass transfer takes place only in a single phase either to or from a phase boundary, as in sublimation of naphthalene (solid form) into the moving air. 2. Mass transfer takes place in the two contacting phases as in extraction and absorption.
