    Notes: The univariant element, Q1 P0, and the multivariant elements, Q1+P0 and R2+ P0, are compared for the numerical simulation of the flow in extrusion dies. The pressure distribution obtained by using the Q1 P0 element was found to be afflicted with the checkerboard pressure mode. On the other hand, the multivariant elements, Q1+ P0 and R2+ P0, gave accurate and physically reasonable velocity and pressure distributions. The computed values of the pressure drop across extrusion dies matched well with the pressure drop determined experimentally.

    The effect of processing on rheological and molecular characteristics of a low density polyethylene (1993)

    Notes: The viscoelastic responses of some molten polymers, and particularly of low density polyethylene (LDPE), are known to vary with processing history. Reasons for the variations include the effects of shear history on morphological states of the polymer, or on its molecular weight parameters. A typical low density polyethylene has been used to test the shear-history dependence concept following a variety of processing steps. The polymer was sheared in single-screw and twin-screw extruders, and in a high speed melter / mixer (Gelimat). Samples also were precipitated from very dilute solutions in trichlorobenzene and in p-xylene. GPC analyses showed that, in general, these procedures did not affect the various moments of molecular weight. An exception was the Gelimat-mixed sample, for which mild reductions in Mn and Mw were noted. In contrast, melt viscosity and elasticity readings, the former from low shear evaluations and the latter from extrudate swelling, were affected by the various procedures. A drop in melt viscosity and in elasticity was observed, being most pronounced for precipitated and twin-screw extruded versions of the LDPE. Reductions also were observed in the specimen sheared in the Gelimat instrument. Following conditioning at the test extrusion temperature (170°C), viscous and elastic responses tended to revert to those of the unsheared control sample, the exception again being the sample sheared in the Gelimat melter / mixer. Of the various mechanisms proposed in the literature to account for transient property changes such as those reported, temporary changes in the degree of chain entanglement appear the most satisfactory explanation. Irreversible alterations in viscoelastic properties may be associated with changes in molecular weights due to processing at high shear.

    Notes: A model for the filling stage of injection molding of viscoelastic thermoplastics in cavities of complex shape is presented. The model considers two-dimensional melt flow, with converging and diverging flow patterns induced by complex boundary shape and by the presence of an obstacle. The model is non-isothermal (with the melt loosing heat to the mold walls as it travels into the cavity) and handles a viscoelastic (following the White-Metzner model) material with properties that vary with temperature, shear rate, and pressure. The numerical method is based on finite differences, with boundary fitted curvilinear coordinates used in the mapping of the flow field (which has an arbitrary shape that evolves with time) into a time invariant rectangle. The numerical results reveal geometry-induced asymmetries in the flow and thermal fields as well as the effect of various process parameters on the pressure and temperature profiles in the cavity. The model admits variable cavity thickness, thus allowing for a treatment of the cavity thickness as a process parameter in the simulations.

    Notes: The use of polymeric materials in building or construction applications is steadily increasing. Therefore, the potential for these materials to be exposed to fire is also increased. The understanding of the pyrolysis characteristics of these materials is thus a necessity. There are many standard tests used to evaluate materials. Unfortunately, the correlation between these tests and large scale fire is less than desirable. A new bench scale rate of heat release apparatus, the Cone Calorimeter, is now being used more frequently in pyrolysis testing of polymeric materials. This apparatus has been shown to correlate much better between room scale testing and large scale fire testing. The cone Calorimeter provides a pyrolysis profile of a material under ambient oxygen conditions. Characteristics such as ignition time, total heat release, maximum rate of heat release, mass loss during pyrolysis, CO2, CO, and smoke production are determined. In this work several almost neat polymers are examined and the general pyrolysis characteristics of these polymers are discussed. The objective of this work is to provide information of basic polymeric pyrolysis properties of these materials. Variations in the material, i.e., molecular weight, polydispersity, and residual catalysis, along with changes in testing procedures, can have dramatic effects on results. Obviously the addition of flame retardant and flame retardant packages to any of these materials will have dramatic effects on results.

    Notes: The overall isothermal crystallization kinetics for nucleated and non-nucleated isotactic polypropylene (iPP)-dotriacontane systems was investigated. Adipic acid was used as the nucleating agent. Half-time was determined via differential scanning calorimetry as a function of the experimentally controlled variables dilution, crystallization temperature, and the addition of nucleating agent. The influence of these variables on crystallization mechanism and spherulitic structure, as implied by the Avrami analysis, was determined. The influence of these variables on fold surface energy was examined by the Lauritzen and Hoffman analysis.

    Notes: The overall non-isothermal crystallization kinetics for nucleated and non-nucleated isotactic polypropylene (iPP) in dotriacontane systems was investigated. Adipic acid was used as the nucleating agent. Crystallization peak temperature was determined via differential scanning calorimetry as a function of the experimentally controlled variables iPP concentration, cooling rate, and nucleating agent concentration. The influence of these variables on crystallization mechanism and spherulitic structure as implied by the Ozawa and Ziabicki analyses was determined. The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics presented here are the first for iPP-diluent systems with and without nucleating agent.

    Notes: The static shear strength and static friction of three thermoplastics have been investigated for the case of contact between a bulk plastic sample and a very smooth metallic plate. The minimum tangential force required to shear the interfacial adhesion bonds between the two surfaces was measured and defined as the adhesion component of friction Fa. Experimental results showed that Fa is large when the surface energy is high or the interfacial energy is small and that a correlation may exist between this force and the work of adhesion evaluated from Dupré equation. The real area of contact Ar was also measured using an optical device designed to handle samples and experimental conditions similar to the static friction tests. It was found that Ar is proportional to Pa0.9 where Pa is the apparent pressure of contact and an increase of Fa with Pr was observed. The static shear strength τ has been evaluated as the ratio Fa/Ar, and its relationships with the real contact pressure P approximated by linear functions. It was concluded that τ increases at high P, although it has not been verified for ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. An attempt has been made to explain the observed break in the data. The results indicated that (τ/τb) = κ′(τa/Pa) where b refers to bulk, a to apparent values, and κ′ is a proportionality constant that depends on the plastic material.

    Notes: A variety of different styrene monomers [styrene (S), p-fluorostyrene (p-FS), pentafluorostyrene (PFS), p-chlorostyrene (p-ClS), p-bromostyrene (p-BrS), p-methylstyrene (p-MS), p-tert-butylstyrene (p-tBS), p-methoxystyrene (p-MOS), p-ethoxystyrene (p-EOS), and p-propoxystyrene (p-POS)] have been polymerized by radical and cationic mechanisms. Copolymers of S/PFS, S/p-ClS, S/2-vinyl-naphthalene (2-VN), and S/p-phenylstyrene (p-PhS) were prepared by radical polymerization. All polymers were fully amorphous and transparent and exhibited only one glass transition temperature in the temperature range 77 to 141°C. Thin films of the polymers were subjected to external electrical partial discharges (PD). Typically, 20 PD experiments were conducted for each polymer and the data for the time to breakdown were adapted to the two-parameter Weibull distribution function. The resistance towards PD of the various polymers was found to depend strongly on the monomeric structure. Complementary PD experiments on a series of narrow molecular mass polystyrenes confirmed that the minor variation in molecular mass between the different styrene polymers is of no importance for the PD resistance. The PD resistance of the homopolymers decreased in the following order: PS ≍ P(p-MS) 〉 P(p-tBS) ≍ P(p-BrS) 〉 P(p-POS) 〉 P(p-ClS) ≍ P(p-MOS) 〉 P(p-EOS) ≍ P(p-FS) 〉 P(PFS). The time to breakdown for copolymers of S and PFS decreased monotonously with increasing PFS content. Styrene copolymers with low molar contents of 2- VN and p-PhS exhibited a higher resistance towards PD than PS. The results are discussed with reference to various properties of the studied polymers, such as segmental mobility, ionization potential, resonance stabilization, and reactivity of the radicals formed.

    Notes: The glass transition temperatures in bismaleimide-based resins were investigated using different stoichiometric ratios of 1, 1′-(methylenedi-4, 1-phenylene)bismaleimide (BMI) and 4, 4′-methylenedianiline (MDA). The resin cure involves a low temperature primary amine addition to the maleimide double bonds and a high temperature homopolymerization of the maleimide double bonds. The network topology and the glass transition temperature changes with resin composition and curing conditions were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). An empirical model was used to relate the glass transition temperature to the extents of the amine addition and the homopolymerization reactions in 1:1 and 2:1 BMI:MDA resins. The changes in thermal properties with resin post-cure were also examined.

    Notes: Dynamic mechanical properties, tensile properties, and scanning electron microscopy of blends of poly(methyl methacrylate) and polycarbonate were investigated after phase separation above their cloud point temperature by annealing in a hot press. The dynamic mechanical properties show that phase separation proceeds more distinctly for the blends annealed at higher temperature and for longer time. The scanning electron micrographs show that the morphology of phase separated blends varies with the conditions of heat treatment. The tensile properties of phase separated blends deteriorate on account of the coarsening of the brittle dispersed phase over the optimum size and the occurrence of voiding during the heat treatment.

    Notes: The packing stage starts at the end of mold filling. During this stage, additional material is forced into the mold to compensate for the shrinkage during subse-quent cooling. Underpacking results in molded parts with dimensional variation. Overpacking causes flash at the parting lines, stick during ejection, and excess residual stresses resulting in warpage. The packing stage is thus extremely important in the determination of the final quality of the product. Despite its importance, analysis of the packing stage has been relatively ignored, particularly the viscoelastic effect. In this work, the analysis of the isothermal packing stage is presented for a Maxwell fluid. A set of governing equations is derived for a two-dimensional mold and solved using the Galerkin finite element method. In addition to the distribution of velocity and pressure, the model predicts the stresses in the planar direction, which could be used for subsequent calculation of the residual stresses.

    Notes: The objective this work was to determine the effects of selected polyester catalysts on the reaction of a polyester with epoxy functional polymers. Polyesters containing various catalyst metals were melt blended with either an ethylene-co-glycidyl methacrylate or a styrene-co-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer. The viscosities of the blends were monitored as a function of mixing time using torque rheometry. In addition, the molecular weight distributions of selected samples were analyzed using gel permeation chromatography. Both the torque rheometry and the gel permeation chromatography results indicate that the polyester reacts with epoxy functional polymers. This reaction occurs under conditions and at processing times which are readily obtainable in conventional melt processing equipment. Furthermore, the reaction kinetics of polyesters with glycidyl methacrylate copolymers are dramatically affected by the nature of the catalyst system used to prepare the polyester. Under the conditions used, antimony catalysts are particularly effective at promoting the reaction between polyesters and the epoxy functionality and the activity of the catalysts studied appears to decrease in the following order: antimony 〉 gallium 〉 tin ≃ titanium 〉 germanium. Manipulation of the polyester catalyst system may offer a method to control the extent of reaction obtained in reactive processing of polyesters with epoxy functional compounds.

    Notes: The flow kinematics of power-law fluids in fishtail dies is studied. A general isothermal three-dimensional finite element code developed by the authors is used for the flow analysis purpose. The basic geometry of the fishtail die is defined by simple super-elliptical curves, which allows a smooth transition from a circle to a slit. The three-dimensional path line and the residence time distribution (RTD) are calculated from the velocity field obtained from the finite element solution of the conservation equations. The effects of the rheological properties and the die geometry on the path line pattern and the residence time distribution are investigated. The results indicate that as both the length of the transition zone and the fishtail angle increases, the residence time distribution becomes more uniform. However, the power-law index does not affect the residence time distribution significantly.

    Notes: The polymers of the aromatic nitrogen compounds N-methyl-pyrrole (P-N-Me-PPY), carbazole (PCarb), and aniline (PANI) have been investigated with electro-optical and surface analytical methods. The in-situ reflection spectra indicate the formation of polarons or bipolarons during electrochemical oxidation, depending on polymer type. The absorption bands can be attributed to changes in the electronic structure with regard to the applied potential. Photocurrent spectra of P-N-Me-PPY and PCarb show a p-type semiconducting behaviour for the polymers in the reduced state. The transition to the oxidized state with quasi-metallic properties is indicated by a significant shift in the Fermi level energy and can be followed with XPS and UPS measurements.

    Notes: Extruded films of liquid crystalline polymer (LCP)/fluoropolymer blends were melt drawn to develop uniaxial orientation of a microfibrillar dispersed LCP phase. The anisotropy of the films increased with increasing draw and LCP content in the blend. Laminated composite plates were prepared using the extruded sheets as prepreg. The mechanical properties and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the prepreg and laminates agreed well with predictions from composite lamination theories. The potential for replacing glass fiber reinforced fluoropolymers with LCP/fluoropolymer blends in applications such as microwave circuit boards is discussed.

    Notes: The extrudate swell and the dynamic rheological properties of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) and polyamide 6 (PA6) binary blends were investigated at 240°C. The extrudate swell of the blend varies with the viscosity ratio and composition of constituents, and it is several times larger than that of homopolymers when the viscosity ratio of constituents is around unity. The dynamic oscillatory data could be interpreted by Oldroyd's emulsion model proposed by Graebling, et al. These results suggest that the extrudate swell is caused by the shape recovery of the dispersed particles. A semi-empirical method to estimate the terminal relaxation time with experimental data was introduced, and a clear correlation between the extrudate swell and the terminal relaxation time was obtained.

    Notes: Much work in recent years had focused on the improvements of the impact properties of engineering thermoplastics by the addition of a low modulus modifier that contains polar moieties as a result of polymerization or that has been modified to contain polar moieties as a result of various grafting techniques. Styrenic block copolymers (styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene) functionalized with maleic anhydride have proved useful as impact modifiers and compatibilizers in blends with engineering thermoplastics. This paper focuses on the use of these functionalized elastomers to modify nylon 6. In such compositions, a nylon material with unique mechanical performance may be achieved using the functionalized elastomer either alone or in combination with an unfunctionalized styrenic block copolymer. The optimization of performance in these rubber toughened polyamide blends using various types of styrenic block copolymers is discussed. The morphology as it pertains to performance is also reviewed. The information contained herein may prove useful in obtaining a better understanding of the mechanisms of compatibilization and modification of nylon 6 systems.

    Notes: Oriented blends of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) with and without compatibilizing agent have been studied with regard to orientation temperature, stretch rate, extension ratio, mode of orientation, and blend composition. These oriented blends have been characterized using infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The tensile and tensile impact properties were also investigated. The results show that blends with compatibilizer show strain hardening upon orientation, whereas the blend without compatibilizer does not strain harden upon orientation. The blends with less PET content have been difficult to orient. The morphology of these blends show fibril structure, highly oriented in the direction of stretch. Infrared measurements show that PET within the blend has undergone strain induced crystallization upon orientation. It has also been observed that the mechanical properties, such as the modulus and ultimate stress, show improvement upon orientation. Simultaneously stretched blends show better physical properties than sequentially oriented blends.

    Notes: This paper illustrates the factors that control brittle failure under fatigue loading for test specimens cut from medium-density polyethylene pipes for gas distribution. A square bar specimen cut from a pipe with a notch was made and a fatigue test was conducted to cause a brittle failure. To obtain the correlation among stress range, frequency, temperature, and cycles to failure in this fatigue test, Coffin-Manson's frequency-modified fatigue life equation was adopted and the material constants were determined. By gradually lowering the frequency, the resistance to creep can be estimated because cycles to failure - indicating the fatigue damage - decreased, and the actual loading time - indicating the creep damage - increased.

    Notes: The interfacial tension, phase morphology, and phase growth was determined for four polymer blend systems: polyethylene/polystyrene, polyethylene/polyamide-6, polystyrene/polyamide-6, and polystyrene/poly(ethylene terephthalate). Generally, high interfacial tension correlates with coarse phase morphology and rapid phase coalescence. The addition of various potential compatibilizing agents to these binary blend systems results in lowered interfacial tension, finer and stabilized phase morphologies. The characteristics of different compatibilizing agents were compared for several of the blend systems. We also look at the influences of compatibilizing agents on mechanical properties of the blend systems. Some compatibilizing agents are able to produce substantial improvements in ultimate properties.

    Notes: It is of great importance to accurately measure or predict the Residence Time Distribution (RTD) in designing extruders and/or in setting up a proper operating condition, because chemical reactions depend significantly on the RTD and temperature when chemical reactions take place during the extrusion process. A previous method to predict the RTD can analytically determine RTD, Residence Time Distribution Function f(t) and Cumulative Residence Time Distribution Function F(t), based on a simplified two-dimensional velocity field in an extruder. However, this previous method cannot accurately take into account the three-dimensional circulatory flow inside the extruder. The present paper suggests a new method to accurately determine the RTD taking into account the three-dimensional circulatory flow and presents a new formula derived to calculate f(t). In order to demonstrate the applicability of the new method including the circulatory flow effect, RTD, f(t) and F(t) were calculated based on a three-dimensional velocity field obtained via a quasi-three-dimensional finite element analysis. It was found that the previous method has a tendency to underestimate the RTD, owing to the neglect of the three-dimensional circulatory flow in comparison with the new method.

    Notes: Ternary systems consisting of polypropylene (PP), ethylene-propylene-dieneterpolymer (EPDM) and different types of inorganic fillers (kaolin, BaSO4) have been investigated with respect to their mechanical behavior. On the basis of an Interphase model, it was possible using the modified van der Poel equation to describe the temperature dependence of the storage modulus G′(T) and the loss modulus G″(T). The interphase properties G′(T) and G″(T) could be calculated.

    Notes: Signal deterioration of optical discs depends strongly on the substrate surface roughness. Characteristics of surface roughness of the molded substrate have been studied in order to clarify the transcription mechanism of smooth surfaces in injection molding of polycarbonate resin. When the melt temperature, mold temperature, and injecting rate are low, microscopic flow marks more than 5 nm deep are observed on the surface. These flow marks are formed when the melted resin near the mold wall is cooled to the no-flow temperature of resin before it comes into contact with the mold wall. Molding transcription improves by optimizing the molding conditions for preventing these flow marks. As a result, the surface roughness of the molded substrate obtained is 3.2 nm in maximum height Rmax, which is nearly equal to that of the mold stamper at 2.7 nm in Rmax.

    Notes: A finite element numerical analysis of preform inflation associated with the injection blow molding process has been developed using a neo-Hookean constitutive model. The analysis is capable of predicting final wall thickness distributions for axisymmetric mold geometries. Experimental studies were conducted on a Uniloy injection blow molding machine (Model 189-3 and Model 122). A twelve ounce (355 mL) cylindrical bottle mold was instrumented with contact sensors, thermocouples, and pressure transducers. Visualization studies of the inflation process were performed using specialized tooling and high-speed video cameras. The experimental studies provide justification for analyzing the deformation by means of a static elastic approach. The predicted wall thickness distribution is in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. Nonuniformities in the temperature distribution in the preform were found to have the most significant impact on the inflation behavior and the resulting wall thickness.

    Notes: Dielectric α-relaxation of a bisphenol-A type epoxide oligomer has been investigated in the vicinity of the glass transition temperature (Tg) by the direct current (DC) transient method. The logarithm of the DC transient current for the oligomer was well approximated by the third order function of the logarithm of time. The complex dielectric constant was calculated through the Fourier transformation of that approximation function according to Simpson's integration rule in a frequency range of 10-5 - 1 Hz. At the temperature around the Tg (45°C), the dielectric α-relaxation process of the oligomer was found to be governed by the Havriliak-Negami equation. The relationship between the DC conductivity (σ) and the dielectric relaxation time (τ), σ·τm = const, is valid near and above the Tg of the oligomer. The DC transient current method combined with the DC conduction and the dielectric bridge measurements is considered to be a practical tool for analyzing the dielectric α-relaxation process of the epoxide oligomer over a wide frequency and temperature range.

    Notes: In this study, styrene-(ethylene-co-butylene)-styrene (SEBS) triblock copolymer (Kraton G-1652) was modified with maleic anhydride (MA). The maleated SEBS was used as compatibilizer for the blends of Nylon 6 (PA6) and SEBS. The morphology and impact strength of the blends were measured as functions of concentration and MA graft ratio of maleated SEBS. The compatibility and fracture mechanism of the blends were evaluated from the SEM micrographs of the xylene-etched surfaces and of fractured surfaces. Some of the blends exhibited an impact strength up to about 30 fold greater than neat PA6. The fracture involved both both cavitation and shear yielding. The mechanism of compatibilization of maleated SEBS in the ternary components blends was proposed.

    Notes: This paper reports on the theoretical and experimental studies of structure formation and strengthening (stiffening) of flexible-chain polymers. Two techniques of strengthening relying on the melt extrusion, i.e., orientational crystallization (crystallization initiated by melt extension) and drawing (uniaxial stretching of a crystallized polymer) are analysed by theory. The experiments involved preparation and study of melt extruded films and film fibers of linear polyethylene formed by the two techniques mentioned above. The effect of the degree of orientation and other parameters of the formation processes on the mechanical characteristics and the factors limiting the ultimate values of these characteristics are discussed. It is shown that multistage drawing succeeds in achieving a higher tensile strength and elastic modulus (1.2 and 35 GPa, respectively) than the orientational crystallization, which gives 0.8 and 15 GPa. The strengthening by drawing is accompanied by microcrack formation. In contrast, no discontinuities are observed in orientationally crystallized samples up to their ultimate extension.

    Notes: Because of the inability of existing automotive bumpers to absorb energy during impacts over the supports, energy absorbers have to be used to make bumpers effective in barrier impacts. A parametric analysis of a novel double-beam bumper concept has shown that its performance, in terms of energy absorption and impact forces, is insensitive to the location of the point of impact. Physical realizations of this concept, which may not require more material than existing designs, and which are particularly suited to thermoplastic materials, have been developed.

    Notes: Flow in a three-dimensional channel with a sinusoidally-wavy, vertical wall is examined for the case of applied down- and cross-channel velocity components. An important parameter for the analysis of the nature of laminar mixing in the flow field occurs when the changes in the downstream direction can be decoupled from the changes in the cross-channel direction, thereby allowing for a two-dimensional solution of the system of equations. This paper shows the effect on the nature of laminar mixing when the decoupling of the momentum equations from a fully three-dimensional case to one where a two-dimensional solution can be performed. Experiments are performed on a channel with sinusoidally varying vertical walls that cover the range of decoupling criteria. Silicone pigmented either white or black was run in the apparatus, cured, and cross-sectioned. The cross sections embody a local, detailed history of the state of mixing as it proceeds down the mixer. The amount of mixing is presented as a function of position at each cross section for the different channel configurations. The nature of mixing changes from a linear growth rate in the amount of interfacial area to an exponential rate as the amplitude of the wave is increased. Results demonstrate the existence of chaos, islands, and the factors affecting the mixing behavior.

    Notes: The memory integral based on convolution of the unit step response to loading a clean pellet with concentration history at the pellet surface is proposed for computations of mass transfer in adsorption process simulation. Although rate laws are widely used to describe diffusion and sorption in pellets for slow (Glueckauf, 1955) and moderate (Kim, 1989) rates of mass transfer, these models fail to describe mass transfer at short contact times because the concentration history experienced by the pellet is not accounted for. To facilitate memory integral computations, approximations to the unit step response to loading a clean pellet are derived based on a single moving finite element and by asymptotic matching in time. Numerical evaluation of the memory integral is demonstrated on simple cycles which show the merits of this approach.

    Notes: The problem of bulk, transition and Knudsen regime diffusion in structures of freely overlapping fibers of various orientation distributions was numerically investigated, and the interrelation of the resulting effective diffusivities was examined. Fibers were randomly positioned and oriented in d = 1, 2, or 3 directions. A Monte Carlo simulation scheme was employed to determine the effective diffusivities from the mean-square displacement of random walkers traveling in the interior of the porous structure. The effective diffusivity was found to depend strongly on the orientational distribution of the fibers, porosity of the fibrous structures, and Knudsen number. The tortuosity factor decreased in general with increasing porosity, approaching at the limit of dilute beds the lower bound derived for each direction of diffusion from variational principles. The simulation results agreed well with experimental values of the bulk tortuosity of fibrous beds from the literature. It was also found that the reciprocal additivity or harmonic average effective diffusivity expression (Bosanquet formula), commonly used to estimate transition regime diffusivities from the values at the ordinary and Knudsen diffusion limits, provides an excellent approximation for the effective diffusivity of fibrous beds, except for that parallel to the fibers of a unidirectional structure.

    Notes: The asymptotic behavior of fixed-point methods in the complex domain is studied. Both direct substitution and Newton's method exhibit stable periodic and aperiodic behavior from real- or complex-valued starting points. Moreover, multiple stable periodic orbits can exist for direct substitution. Traditional trust region (or dogleg) methods, on the other hand, often terminate at singular points, which correspond to nonzero-valued saddlepoints in the least-squares function that can be arbitrarily far from a solution. Furthermore, the basins of attraction of these singular points are usually dispersed throughout the basin boundaries in the complex domain, clearly illustrating that singular points (via the dogleg strategy) also attract either real- or complex-valued starting points.In light of this, an extension of the dogleg strategy to the complex domain, based on a simple norm-reducing, singular point perturbation, is proposed. This extended trust region method removes all forms of nonconvergent behavior and always terminates at a fixed point, even from critical point (worst-case) initial values. Many numerical results and geometric illustrations using chemical process simulation examples are presented.

    Notes: Most of the advanced nonlinear control algorithms require a model of the system to be controlled. Unfortunately, most of the processes in the chemical industry are nonlinear, and fundamental models describing them are lacking. Thus there is a need for the identification and control of nonlinear systems through available inputoutput data. In this article, we briefly introduce the input-output model used (polynomial ARMA models), and analyze its stability and invertibility. This paves the way to the development of a nonlinear-model-predictive controller. Implementation issues such as modeling of disturbance, state and parameter estimation are discussed. The theory presented is illustrated through examples.

    Notes: The separation of a binary mixture, using a third component having intermediate adsorptivity as desorbent, in a four section countercurrent adsorption separation unit is considered. A procedure for the optimal and robust design of the unit is developed in the frame of Equilibrium Theory, using a model where the adsorption equilibria are described through the constant selectivity stoichiometric model, while mass-transfer resistances and axial mixing are neglected.By requiring that the unit achieves complete separation, it is possible to identify a set of implicit constraints on the operating parameters, that is, the flow rate ratios in the four sections of the unit. From these constraints explicit bounds on the operating parameters are obtained, thus yielding a region in the operating parameters space, which can be drawn a priori in terms of the adsorption equilibrium constants and the feed composition.This result provides a very convenient tool to determine both optimal and robust operating conditions. The latter issue is addressed by first analyzing the various possible sources of disturbances, as well as their effect on the separation performance. Next, the criteria for the robust design of the unit are discussed. Finally, these theoretical findings are compared with a set of experimental results obtained in a six port simulated moving bed adsorption separation unit operated in the vapor phase.

    Notes: Chabazite zeolites are used at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to decontaminate wastewaters containing 90Sr and 137Cs. Treatability studies show that chabazite can remove trace amounts of these nuclides from wastewaters containing much higher concentrations of calcium and magnesium. The design of ion-exchange columns for multicomponent systems requires a method for predicting multicomponent equilibria from binary, ternary and quaternary experiments, since the number of experiments required for an empirical equilibrium model is not generally feasible. Binary interaction parameters for the Wilson equation are used to predict solid-phase activity coefficients for the five-component system. The sum of squares of deviations between experimental and predicted solution concentrations for the data points available is calculated. The average deviation per data point for the five-component system is lower than for some of the ternary-and four-component data sets containing calcium or magnesium.

    Electrochemical measurements of mass transfer at surfaces with discrete reactive areas (1993)

    Notes: The limiting current technique was used to measure area-averaged mass-transfer coefficients for surfaces containing many small reactive areas arranged in various patterns. Partially masked platinum electrodes were fabricated using photolithography, and mass-transfer measurements were performed with a rotating disk apparatus. The average mass-transfer coefficient was sensitive to the fraction of the electrode area exposed (ε), declining from values near that for a fully exposed surface for ε = 0.5 to less than 1% of the fully exposed value for ε = 0.001. For any given ε, the mass-transfer coefficient declined with increased spacing between reactive sites. The results were relatively insensitive to details of the site distribution, such as whether the sites were arranged in regular arrays (square or hexagonal lattices) or distributed randomly over the surface. For all conditions studied, the mass-transfer coefficient greatly exceeded that predicted by conventional models which apply the stagnant film approximation to the fluid surrounding a representative active site. This finding is qualitatively consistent with recent computational results, which suggest that convective transport enhances mass transfer at partially active surfaces to an extent not accounted for by adjustments in the effective film thickness.

    Notes: An instability analysis has been carried out to elucidate the unsteady flow conditions encountered in the typical circulating fluidized bed units in light of the conveyor-solids feeder interaction. The results successfully predict the critical velocity and the maximum solids circulation rates reported in the literature and explain the origin of such unstable conditions. Furthermore, the simulation, for the first time, reveals the importance of unit structure in improving the performance of circulating fluidized bed systems. Finally, the concept of a high-density circulating fluidized bed is proposed.

    Notes: The product compositions in single-feed distillation columns can be specified only in certain regions of the composition space, which depend only on the pressure, feed, and vapor-liquid equilibrium for the mixture. In nonideal mixtures, even without azeotropes, the regions may allow unusual product distributions. For example, the distillate in a “direct split” is composed primarily of the lightest component. Intuition and experience with relatively ideal mixtures suggest that the next most plentiful component is the intermediate boiler. In nonideal mixtures, however, with or without azeotropes, the next most plentiful component may be the highestboiling species with only trace amounts of the intermediate boiler. For azeotropic mixtures, distillation boundaries may give rise to additional restrictions on the product compositions. We describe how simple distillation boundaries deform into continuous distillation boundaries and, in a limited number of cases, how the simple distillation boundaries can be crossed in continuous columns for certain ranges of the design variables. Unfortunately, such designs may be quite sensitive to model uncertainties or to disturbances in the parameters.

    Notes: Deposition of wax on the wall of oil pipelines is often regarded as a problem since the tube diameter is reduced. Consequently, more power is needed to force the same amount of oil through the system. A mathematical model for quantitative prediction of wax deposition for each hydrocarbon component has been developed. Each component is characterized by weight fraction, heat of fusion, and melting point temperature. A model explains how a phase transition in the flow from liquid oil to waxy crystals may create a local density gradient and mass flux, which depends on the local temperature gradient. The model predicts that wax deposition can be considerably reduced even when the wall temperature is below the wax appearance point, provided the liquid/solid phase transition, expressed by the change in moles of liquid with temperature, is small at the wall temperature. Deposition as function of time has been obtained as a solution of differential equations derived from the principles of mass and energy conservation and the laws of diffusion.

    Notes: Rigorous and approximate methods are compared for the simulation of CO2 absorption into aqueous alkanolamine mixtures of methyldiethanolamine and diethanolamine. In addition, data for the mixtures containing monoethanolamine and the simultaneous absorption of CO2 and H2S are presented. For the rigorous approach, the simplified eddy diffusivity theory is used to simulate the liquid-phase hydrodynamic characteristics. The approximation methods examined are the pseudo-first-order approximation, the interpolation approximation of Wellek et al. (1978), the algebraic combined flux (ACFLUX) approximation and the modified combined flux (MCFLUX) approximation. The latter approximation utilizes the reaction zone concept to determine the kinetic preference of the absorbing gas at the gas-liquid interface. Under the range of conditions studied, the MCFLUX approximation predicts very accurately the CO2 and H2S flux rates in mixed amine systems, as compared with the rigorous solution of the differential equations.

    Notes: A steady-state method recently proposed for measuring two-phase flow properties of a porous medium is supplemented by NMR imaging for measuring the saturation gradients which are allowed to persist in the specimen. The method relies on a strong capillary end effect which is assumed to be enforced by an outlet capillary pressure boundary condition, but direct verification of this has not hitherto been available. For constant flow rates, incremented stepwise, steady-state profiles of hydrocarbon saturation So are obtained which agree with predictions that they be monotonic, nonintersecting, and convex.Using D2O for the aqueous phase allows unambiguous detection of hydrocarbon by NMR, and imaging measurements of transverse relaxation time T2 were included in the protocol. T2 shows a dependence on So which is mild but not negligible for quantitative NMR imaging.

    Wavelength and depth of ribbing in roll coating and its elimination (1993)

    Notes: Experiment has been made on ribbing induced on a film coated over a roll surface by a two-roll system: one roll rotated with a speed and the other fixed or rotated with relatively different speeds. The two rolls have the same diameters and are placed parallel with each other by keeping a gap. Test fluids are Newtonian (glycerin/water) and viscoelastic [polyacrylamide (Separan AP30)/glycerin/water] solutions. Wavelength and depth of ribbing are measured by a newly developed technique utilizing an image of a straight bar placed above the roll and reflected on the ribbing film surface. Nondimensionalized wavelength is correlated with capillary number for Newtonian liquids, but higher for dilute Separan solutions and lower for nondilute Separan solutions than for Newtonian liquids. The depth of ribbing increases for dilute Separan solutions with nearly the same value for nondilute Separan solutions as those for Newtonian liquid. This behavior observed for the ribbing seems to have some relation to the existence of a line of vortices that occurs visibly for nondilute Separan solutions in the entrance region of the gap between the rolls. Increase in the ratio of the velocities of two rolls has an effect of increasing both the wavelength and depth of ribbing for glycerine and nondilute Separan solutions, but it has the effect of decreasing them for dilute Separan solutions. Addition of Separan in glycerine solution promotes the generation of ribbing.A string spanned near over the gap to touch the surface of the liquid pool between the gap has the effect of eliminating the ribbing. This is successful in various combinations between the speeds of the two rolls and the diameters of the string.

    Notes: Variations of perturbation chromatography were used to measure Henry's constants and equilibrium isotherms of various gases on silicalite. Three different adsorbent samples were analyzed (commercial powder and extruded pellets, and laboratory-synthesized crystals), and no discernable differences among the measured parameters were noted. Henry's constants for the linear alkanes were determined from isobaric and nonisobaric chromatography experiments. They were correlated successfully with temperature and the number of carbon atoms per adsorbate molecule. Isotherms were measured from concentration pulse or tracer/concentration pulse chromatography techniques. The Flory-Huggins version of the vacancy solution model was used to correlate pure gas isotherms and predict binary behavior successfully.

    Notes: Micropore diffusion coefficients for infinitely-dilute methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, and isobutane in silicalite were measured via concentration-pulse chromatography. Two different samples of large laboratory-synthesized crystals were investigated. Analysis of van Deemter plots clearly indicated the presence of a significant micropore mass-transfer resistance for isobutane. Diffusion coefficients evaluated from these plots were consistent with results measured by the membrane technique. The linear alkane data differed completely in that the micropore masstransfer resistance for these adsorbates was very small, implying that the true diffusion coefficients were too large to be measured with this system. Thus, effective diffusion coefficients evaluated from these data represent a lower limit of the true values. Comparison of this limit with nuclear magnetic resonance data was favorable, since the latter are significantly larger in magnitude. Inconsistency was observed with diffusion coefficients obtained from other macroscopic techniques including the membrane method, zero-length and tracer-pulse chromatography, and some frequency response experiments.

    Notes: A nonlinear model-based scheme is developed for product property control in industrial gas-phase polyethylene reactors. The controller regulates instantaneous melt index and density, and provides servocontrol during grade changeovers. Hydrogen and butene feed rates are manipulated to force the product properties onto desired trajectories. During grade changeovers, these trajectories are determined from off-line dynamic optimization studies. Optimal open-loop policies for reactor temperature, bleed stream flow, catalyst feed rate, and bed level are implemented as part of the changeover strategy.The nonlinear feedback controller design is based on global input/output linearization methods. Disturbances are estimated, and plant/model mismatch is removed using an extended Kalman filter. Simulations on a complex mechanistic model of the process reveal that the nonlinear controller performs well for both regulatory and servocontrol. An analogous linear IMC controller is inadequate for disturbance rejection at different operating conditions and for control during grade changeovers. The simplicity of the nonlinear control algorithm makes it an interesting candidate for industrial application. This single controller can be used to control the properties of many grades of polyethylene made in the reactor and to accomplish near optimal changeovers between these grades.

    Notes: A simple fluid dynamic model is developed which predicts the thinning rate of a viscous film of liquid, in contact with the smooth interior surface of a long cylindrical tube, due to the shearing action of a turbulent flow of an immiscible fluid through the tube. Experiments indicate the degree to which the model provides an accurate means of predicting viscous film removal from the tube. Similar experiments performed with electrochemically roughened tubes elucidate the limitation of this cleaning process due to surface roughness. The observed limitation is consistent with an analysis based on numerical solutions of the equations for shear flow over a rough surface.

    Notes: A continuous electrochemically modulated complexation (EMC) process was devised to extract and concentrate a class of heterocyclic nitrogen compounds. This design is composed of flow-through electrolysis cells for redox modulation and cycling of the complexing agent and hollow-fiber membrane modules for phase contacting. The extent of both extraction and concentration was found to depend mainly on the magnitude of the distribution coefficients for both steps. Experimental results and modeling of this continuous EMC process are reported, as well as potential applications for this process for other separations.

    Notes: Adsorption rates and thermodynamic parameters were determined for the gasphase adsorption of n-alkanes and benzene derivatives on octadecylsilyl-silica gel (ODS) by chromatographic measurement and moment analysis. Thermodynamic characteristics of adsorption phenomena on ODS were similar to those on the surface. The contribution of intraparticle diffusion to mass-transport resistance was dominant in the ODS column, and the role of surface diffusion was significant for the intraparticle diffusion. The values of the surface diffusion coefficient were of the order of 10-5 cm2/s and could be estimated by assuming that the surface migration on ODS is a tracer diffusion of an adsorbate molecule in n-octadecane.

    Notes: Nonisothermal adsorption is studied by incorporating its mathematical description into a model consisting of the full two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and energy and species concentration equations to simulate the processes in fixed-bed industrial adsorbers/regenerators. The model partial-differential equations are solved numerically by using well-established computational fluid dynamics techniques. The equilibrium between gas and solid is considered nonlinear, which is described by Freundlich-type equations. The transport and adsorption of a compound from a solvent to and into an adsorbent are described by a two-step process: transport through the “film” to the outer surface of the particle and diffusion into the porous particle. The effect of fill resistance is discussed, as well as a two-equation turbulence model. Solutions obtained for a typical industrial adsorber/regenerator demonstrate the potential of this method. The computed results for various flow ratios and parameters in the Freundlich equations are shown to be physically plausible.

    Steps in CH4 oxidation on Pt and Rh surfaces: High-temperature reactor simulations (1993)

    Notes: The direct oxidation of CH4 to H2 and CO in O2 and in air at high temperatures over alumina foam monoliths coated with high loadings of Pt and Rh has been simulated using a 19-elementary-step model of adsorption, desorption and surface reaction steps with reaction parameters from the literature or from fits to previous experiments. The surface reaction model for Pt is in good agreement with previously reported low-pressure(0.1 to 1 torr) reactor measurements of CH4 oxidation rates at temperatures from 600 to 1,500 K and of OH radical desorption during CH4 oxidation at 1,300 to 1,600 K over polycrystalline Pt foils. The model predictions for both catalysts are also consistent with product selectivities observed over monolithic catalysts in an atmospheric-pressure laboratory-scale reactor, and the differences between Pt and Rh can be explained by comparing individual reaction steps on these surfaces. Because of the good agreement between the model and both low-and atmospheric-pressure reactor simulations, a complete energy diagram for methane oxidation at low coverages is proposed. The model results show that under CH4rich conditions at high temperatures, H2 and CO are primary products of the direct oxidation of methane via a pyrolysis mechanism.

    Notes: A model for a pilot-scale chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) reactor in which multiple substrates are densified simultaneously by carbon deposition from a pyrolyzing hydrocarbon is presented. Kinetic expressions and parameters and transport properties for carbon deposition from propylene determined from experimental studies and a single substrate CVI model are incorporated into the pilot reactor model. The two-dimensional transport equations for heat, mass and momentum transfer are solved for the entire reactor to simulate the effects of varied operating conditions on substrate densification throughout the reactor during the CVI process. Of the conditions simulated, the reactor temperature was found to have the most significant impact on both the uniformity of densification and the process time required. As the temperature increased, the uniformity of densification decreased and the time at which pore blockage at the outer surface occurred was shortened. Increasing the hydrocarbon feed concentration shortened the process time, but did not affect the final level of densification, while the feed rate only affected CVI at intermediate times. Comparison between experimental pilot reactor results and model predictions were satisfactory at short and long times, but agreement was less satisfactory at intermediate times.

    Notes: Solid-state film ion exchange (Ag+-Na+) in glass substrates has been investigated for the fabrication of passive, integrated, optical waveguides. A new ion exchange mechanism is proposed which couples the oxidation of silver metal to silver oxide and the diffusion of silver ions into the glass substrate. At high electric fields and/or high temperatures, the growth rate of a silver oxide film limits the formation of mobile silver ions and constrains the diffusion of silver into the glass. This new mechanism is able to predict the dopant distribution profile under those conditions and under conditions where a constant surface concentration is appropriate (infinitely thick oxide film). It also explains the characteristics of the current vs. time curve measured during the ion exchange process. The formation and growth of the silver oxide film were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.

    Notes: A mechanistic model of slug flow based on a set of mass and momentum conservation equations and a number of empirical closure relations is presented. It is then shown that a simplified version of the model, which physically corresponds to the flow of long liquid slugs(long slug model, LSM), can be immediately derived from the general model. The LSM is much simpler than the general model; at the same time, the predictions obtained in the two cases are very similar, when the comparison is limited to the computation of the pressure gradient and the mean liquid holdup. The LSM successfully correlates a large set of experimental measurements relative to three pipe diameters(18, 50 and 90 mm), four inclinations (0°, ±3°, 0.3°), and two pipe lengths(17 and 34 m).

    Notes: We present a theoretical study of the adsorption kinetics of particles with a continuous distribution of sizes. If the particles interact with short-ranged forces, the diminishing rate of adsorption with increasing surface coverage can be attributed to a geometrical blocking effect of the preadsorbed particles. We exploit the fact that at low coverages the blocking effects result from isolated adsorbed particles to develop an analytic description of the adsorption kinetics using a moment expansion approach. We evaluate the time-dependent surface coverage, density and the average size of the adsorbed particles and compare these quantities with those of the bulk phase. The effect of desorption is studied by introducing a size-independent desorption constant, and the corresponding adsorption equilibria properties, which are valid at low coverages, are derived. Simulation results for irreversible adsorption are obtained and compared with the theoretical predictions.

    Notes: Control structure (strategy) selection consists of the selection and pairing of manipulated and measured variables. This article outlines a procedure that uses such tools as the existence of right half plane (RHP) transmission zeros, the relative gain array, the performance relative gain array, and the closed-loop disturbance gain. The regulatory control system for the fluid catalytic cracking process is used as an example. Several authors found the Kurihara control structure to be preferable to the conventional control structure. The reason is that RHP transmission zeros limit the achievable bandwidth for the conventional control structure. Two other control structures, however, have better controllability characteristics than both the conventional and the Kurihara control structures. The sensitivity of the measurement selection and variable pairing with respect to changes in the operating point and parametric uncertainty is examined, as well as the general objectives of the regulatory control level and its interaction with the higher levels in the control hierarchy.

    Notes: Sufficient conditions for robust closed-loop stability of a class of dynamic matrix control (DMC) systems are presented. The l1-norm is used in the objective function of the on-line optimization, thus resulting in a linear programming problem. The ideas of this work, however, are expandable to other DMC-type controllers. The keys to the stability conditions are: to use an end-condition in the moving horizon on-line optimization; to have coefficients of the move suppression term in the objective function of the on-line optimization satisfy certain inequalities; and to express the uncertainty as deviations in the unit pulse response coefficients of the nominal plant. These deviations and disturbances must also satisfy certain inequalities.An off-line tuning procedure for robust stability and performance of a class of DMC controllers is also included, which determines an optimal moving horizon length and optimal values for coefficients of the move suppression term. The applicability of our approach is elucidated through numerical simulations.

    Notes: We report experimental data showing the effect of temperature on polymer partitioning in the dextran (DEX500)-polyethylene glycol (PEG8000)-water system. Increasing temperature increases the concentration of PEG in the top phase and decreases the concentration of DEX in the bottom phase. A solution thermodynamic model based on local compositions with temperature-dependent parameters correlates the experimental data well, and an efficient Gibbs-free energy minimization algorithm for phase equilibrium calculations is described. The partial molar enthalpies and entropies of each of the solutes, calculated with the model, are negative and decrease in magnitude as temperature increases.

    Notes: Two cationic, copper metal complexes with different ligands were synthesized: ethylenediamine (en) [Cu(C2N8N2) (ClO4)2] and diethanolamine (Deta) {[Cu-C8H21N2O4]ClO4}. These complexes were mounted on Cab-O-Sil using nonaqueous impregnation techniques, and the loadings were determined at which multilayers formed. These samples were analyzed for copper, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen content to determine if ligand dissociation occurred during the impregnation. Samples were decomposed in a thermal gravimetric apparatus to determine the kinetics of the thermolysis reaction in air, and the evolved gases were analyzed by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry to determine the products of the thermolysis reaction. The results of these and earlier studies are summarized in a model that describes the effects of molecular structure upon complex-support interactions. Complexes with the ability to form hydrogen bond interactions between the ligand and the support form strong interactions with the surface of silica, whereas complexes without such hydrogen bond interactions are only weakly attracted to the silica surface. Strong interactions with the surface may also arise as a result of ligand dissociation and direct interaction of the metal ion with the surface oxygens. The charge on the complex and its shape play less important roles in determining the affinity of the metal complex with the silica.

    Notes: This article deals with the automation of the process of somatic embryogenesis for the propagation of plants. An important problem is the monitoring of the embryo production process in order to decide the time to start harvesting embryos for further processing. The classification algorithm development for somatic embryos of birch (Betula pendula Roth) showed that automated recognition of embryos at different developmental stages is possible. No globular stage embryos were classified to be heart or torpedo stage and no heart or torpedo stage embryos were classified to be at globular stage. Heart and torpedo stage embryos were classified into three developmental classes by a new index that describes the relation of embryo breadth to the length of the root. The probability of classifying a nonembryo as an embryo was less than 1%, and 14% of the object classified as embryos by a human expert were discarded by the algorithm. A computer vision system suitable for automated monitoring of samples from the bioreactor was constructed. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Invariance of culture conditions in steady state continuous cultures make these a very valuable tool to study the influence of various culture parameters on cell growth and synthesis of primary and secondary metabolites. The result of a parametric study on production of protease in continuous suspension cultures of Bacillus firmus NRS 783 are reported in this article. This strain is a superior producer of an alkaline protease with major application in the detergent industry. The parameters investigated include dilution rate and concentrations of yeast extract, ammonium, and inorganic phosphate in the bioreactor feed, glucose being the principal carbon source in all experiments. The regulatory effects of the key culture parameters on cell growth, synthesis and secretion of protease, and production of acetic acid are investigated. The relations among the specific cell growth rate, specific utilization rates of the principal carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous sources, and specific production rates of two nonbiomass products, viz., acetic acid and protease, are examined, and the effects of the manipulated culture parameters on these relations, specific protease activity, and yields of cell mass, protease, and acetic acid on the basis of the principal carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous sources are studied. An increase in dilution rate led to increases in specific utilization rates of the principal carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous sources and specific production rates of acetic acid and protease and decreases in bulk activities/concentrations of the three products (acetic acid, cell mass, and protease). As a result, the productivities of the three species were maximized at an intermediate dilution rate. Increased supply of yeast extract (a rich source of amino acids, proteins, and vitamins, besides being an additional source of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) promoted cell mass formation but reduced protease production per unit cell mass. Increased supply of nitrogen and phosphorous sources stimulated protease synthesis up to certain threshold levels and repressed the enzyme synthesis beyond the threshold levels. With increased supply of the nitrogen source, the phosphorous source was more efficiently utilized for cell growth and protease synthesis. Stable maintenance of continuous cultures of B. firmus over prolonged period is demonstrated in this study. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The effect of organic solvents on the equilibrium position of lipase-catalyzed esterification of glycerol and decanoic acid has been investigated. The reaction is carried out in an aqueous-organic two-phase system. In polar solvents, high mole fractions of monoacylglycerol and low mole fractions of triacylglycerol and measured, while in nonpolar solvents, the measured differences in the mole fractions of monodi-, and triacylglycerols are less. There is a good correlation between the ester mole fractions at equilibrium and the log P of the solvent (partition coefficient in n-octanolwater), however, only if the group of tertiary alcohols is excluded. In the plot of the easter mole fractions as a function of the logarithm of hte solubility of water in the organic solvent, the tertiary alcohols can be included; however, in this case other deviations appear.For the prediction of the effect of organic solvents on the ester mole fractions at reaction equilibrium in nondilute reaction systems with a water activity below 1, the program TREP (Two-phase Reaction Equilibrium Prediction) is developed, which is based on the UNIFAC group contribution method. With this model the equilibrium data are essentially predicted from basic thermodynamic data. The required equilibrium constants are estimated from experiments without an organic solvent in the reaction medium. The mole fractions calculated by TREP show the same trends as the experimentally measured mole fractions; however, some variation is observed in the absolute values. These deviations may be due to inaccuracies in the UNIFAC group contribution method. TREP is found to be a correct method to predict within some limits the ester mole fractions at equilibrium for all mixtures of solvents, substrates, and products. The production of monoester can be enhanced in reaction system with a sufficient high concentration of a polar solvent. In experiments with a triglymeto-decanoic acid ratio of 5, almost no di-and triesters can be detected at equilibrium. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The results of a study of the optimization of the experimental conditions for maximum production rate in overloaded elution and displacement chromatography are discussed. This study is based on the use of the equilibrium-dispersive model of chromatography and the competitive Langmuir isotherms to calculate individual band profiles in the elution and displacement modes, and of a simplex algorithm to optimize the production rate. The operating parameters (sample size, mobile phase velocity, and the displacer concentration in the displacement model) and the column design parameters (column length and average particle diameter) are optimized simultaneously. Binary mixtures having relative concentrations 3:1 and 1:3, and separation factors of 1.2 to 1.8 are investigated. One of our major results is that, in both modes of chromatography, the maximum production rate is achieved at very low values of the retention factors, k′, much lower than those used in current practice. In all cases, unless k′ exceeds greatly that optimum value, the production rate is higher in overloaded elution than in displacement chromatography. This is particularly true for the extraction of a minor component, which is eluted second. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Among amino acids screened for their potential to relieve wild and recombinant Escherichia coli from the negative effects of acetic acid, glycine, and methionine showed a sparing effect. In the presence of 2 g/L of acetic acid, addition of 0.5 g/L of glycine or methionine resulted in either a complete recovery or a further enhancement in the specific growth rate, while the enhancement was significant but not fully complete in the presence of 4 g/L of acetic acid. The addition of 0.5 g/L of methionine alleviated the negative effect of acetic acid on recombinant E. Coli growth to produce more β-lactamase, which was encoded by plasmid pUC18. In continuous fermentation the methionine effect on recombinant. E. coli metabolism depended on dilution rate; at high dilution rates, above 0.4 h-1, the methionine addition enhanced β-lactamase production and reduced acetic acid formation, while at low dilution rates, below 0.3 h -1, the effect was reversed. In def-batch fermentation with wild-type E. Coli, cell growth rate and cell yield from glucose were enhanced with methionine addition, while the acetic acid concentration reached over 4 g/L. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Immobilization offers several intrinsic advantages over free suspension cultures for the production of monoclonal antibodies. An important advantage of immobilization is the improved specific monoclonal antibody (MAb) productivity (qMAb) that can be obtained. However, there are conflicting reports in the literature on the enhancement of the qMAb with immobilization. The discrepancies between these reports can be attributed to the different to either the cultivation methods used for immobilized cell or to difference between the cell lines used in the various studies. We show that these differences may be attributed to the different cultivation methods used for one model hybridoma cell line. S3H5/ϒ2bA2 hybridoma cells entrapped in different sizes of calcium alginate beads were cultivated in both T- and spinner flasks in order to determine whether cultivation methods (T- and spinner flasks) and bead size influence the qMAb Free-suspended cell cultures inoculated with cells recovered from alginate beads were also carried out in order to determine whether changes in the qMab of the entrapped cells are reversible.The cultivation methods was found to influence significantly the qMAb of the entrapped cells. When the entrapped cells in 1-mn diameter beads were cultivated in T-flasks, the qMAb was not increased by 200% as previously observed in an entrapped cell culture using 1-mm-diameter alginate beads in spinner flasks. The qMAb of the entrapped cell was approximately 58% higher than that of the free-suspended cells in a control experiment. Unlike the cultivation method, the bead size in the range of 1- to 3-mm diameter did not significantly influence the qMAb, regardless of cultivations methods. The changes in qMAb of an entrapped cells were reversible. When the free-suspended cells recovered from the T- and spinner flasks were sub-cultured in T- and spinner flasks enhanced qMAb of the entrapped cells in both cases decreased to the level of the free-suspended cell in a control experiments. Taken together, these results shows that the method of cultivation of hybridoma cells immobilized in alginate beads determines the extent of enhancement of the qMAb. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The density-dependent growth of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was monitored on-line by using an inverted microscope. A flow system was employed for cell cultivation so that nutrient concentration could be maintained and metabolic wastes were removed. With the help of video image analysis, local cells density could be accurately calculated and cell motility and exposed cell surface area could be estimated. A computer program which accounted for change of sell size and translocation of cells was developed to stimulate dell growth. The stimulated results of the population dynamics and the variations in cell size showed good agreement with our experimental observations, Cell motility and initial cell distribution on the substratum were found to have strong effect on cell growth. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Are water-immiscibility and apolarity of the solvent relevant to enzyme efficiency? (1993)

    Notes: The question of whether the solvent's water-immiscibility is relevant to enzymatic activity was addressed by assaying four different hydrolases (three lipases and one protease) in nine anhydrous solvents of similar hydrophobicities of which four were infinitely miscible with water and five were not. For no enzyme was a jump in activity observed upon a transition from water-miscible to water-immiscible solvent. The relevance of solvent apolarity to enzymatic efficiency was also examined. To this end, three groups of isomeric anhydrous solvents were selected where within each group of isomeric anhydrous solvents were selected where within each group one solvent was apolar (i.e., lacked a permanent dipole moment). For none of the four enzymes studied was activity significantly higher in apolar solvents than in their polar counterparts. Thus we conclude that often-cited solvent's immiscibility with water and apolarity by themselves are irrelevant to enzymatic activity. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The ΔSf′ of one unit carbon formula weight of Escherichia coli K-12 cells, when grown on succinic acid, was calculated to be -80.13 J/deg. This value could then be used to calculate the entropy change accompanying the anabolism and metabolism of succinic acid to be 30.82 J/deg and 32.40 J/mol deg, respectively. The entropy of one unit carbon formula weight of dried E. Coli K-12 cells is calculated to be 94.40 J/deg, which when divided by the mass of these cells becomes 3.90 J/g deg. The corresponding entropy of succinic acid is 2.77 J/g deg, making it apparent that the entropy per unit mass of the cells is greater than that of the substrate. It might be thought that because the cells appear to be so much more complex than the substrate, the cells should have a lesser entropy per unit mass than the substrate. That this does not appear to be true leads to the conclusion that the macromolecular organization (informational content?) of the cells contributes only in a very minor way to the total physical entropy of cells. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The effect of substrate protection on enzyme deactivation was studied in a differential bed and a packed bed reactor using a commercial immobilized glucose isomerase (Swetase, Nagase Co.). Experimental data obtained from differential bed reactor were analyzed based on Briggs-Haldane kinetics in which enzyme deactivation accompanying the protection of substrate was considered. The deactivation constant of the enzyme-substrate complex was found to be about half of that of the free enzyme. The mathematical analysis describing the performance of a packed bed reactor under the considerations of the effects of substrate protection, diffusion resistance, and enzyme deactivation was studied. The system equations for the packed bed reactor were solved using an orthogonal collocation method. The presence of substrate protection and the diffusion effect within the enzyme particles resulted in an axial variation of effectiveness factor, ηD, along the length of the packed bed. The axial distribution profile of ηD was found to be dependent on the operation temperature, Based on the effect of substrate protection, a better substrate feed policy could be theoretically found for promoting productivity in long-term operation. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In order to use reverse micellar solutions successfully for the separation of proteins, good methods are needed to recover the biomolecules into an aqueous environment after solubilization into organic micellar media. Usually the recovery is accomplished by equilibrating the protein-loaded reverse micellar solution with a water phase containing an appropriate salt (back-transfer). In this article we describe an alternative “back extraction” procedure which is based on the addition of silica to the protein-containing reverse micellar solution. In this way, the water is stripped from the reverse micellar solution. [i.e., bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT)/isooctane/water] and the proteins adsorb to the silica particles. The adsorption process is shown to be practically quantitative. The subsequent recovery of the proteins form the silica into an aqueous solution turns out to be most efficient at alkaline pH (pH 8); 60-80 of the total protein (α-chymotrypsin or trypsin) could be recovered. The specific enzyme activity at the end of the whole cycle can be as high as 80-100%. The procedure is applied also for the back extraction from micellar solutions in which, instead of AOT, a biocompatible surfactant such as a synthetic short-chain lecithin was used. It is shown that the recovery of a α-chymotrypsin and trypsin is also achievable under these conditions in quite good yield and under good maintenance of the enzyme's catalytic activity. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Biofiltration of solvent and fuel vapors may offer a costeffective way to comply with increasingly strict air emission standards. An important step in the development of this technology is to derive and validate mathematical models of the biofiltration process for predictive and scaleup calculations. For the study of methanol vapor biofiltration, an 8-membered bacterial consortium was obtained from methanol-exposed soil. The bacteria were immobilized on solid support and packed into a 5-cm-diameter, 60-cm-high column provided with appropriate flowmeters and sampling ports. The solid support was prepared by mixing two volumes of peat with three volumes of perlite particles (i.e., peat-perlite volume ratio 2:3). Two series of experiments were performed. In the first, the inlet methanol concentration was kept constant while the superficial air velocity was varied from run to run. In the second series, the air flow rate (velocity) was kept constant while the inlet methanol concentration was varied. The unit proved effective in removing methanol at rates up to 112.8 g h-1 m-3 packing. A mathematical model has been derived and validated. The model described and predicted experimental results closely. Both experimental data and model predictions suggest that the methanol biofiltration process was limited by oxygen diffusion and methanol degradation kinetics. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Escherichia coli is able to grow on sugars in the presence of a bulk n-alkane phase. When E. coli is equipped with the alk genes from Pseudomonas oleovorans, the resulting recombinant strain converts n-alkanes into the corresponding alkanoic acids. To study the effects of growth rate and exposure to a bulk apolar phase on the physiology and the productivity of E. coli, we have grown this microorganism in two-liquid-phase continuous cultures containing 5% (v/v) n-octane.In contrast to batch cultures of wild-tape E. coli grown in the presence of n-octane, cells remained viable during the entire continuous culture, which lasted 200 h. Bioconversion of n-octane to n-octanoic acid by a recombinant E. coli (alk+) in a two-liquid-phase continuous culture was made possible by optimizing both the recombinant host strain and the conditions of culturing the organism. Continuous production in such two-phase systems has been maintained for the least 125 h without any changes in the product concentration in the fermentation medium. The volumetric productivity was determined as a function of growth rate and showed a maximum at a dilution rate D = 0.32 h-1, reaching a continuous production rate of 0.5 g octanoate/L · h (4 tons/m3 · year). © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Liquid-liquid extraction and membrane separation are well-known separation method of extensive industrial application. Their incorporation into liquid membranes has the potential of several advantages, some of which are of particular interest for the recovery of carboxylic and amino acids: selectivities higher than those attainable by current separation methods, saving on energy costs for final concentration of separated products, high fluxes, compact installation, and low capital and operation costs. Stability of the liquid advantages, can be secured by utilizing extractant blocking polymeric membranes, Applicability, process consideration, and economic implications for recovery for carboxylic and amino acids by various extractant/membrane combinations are discussed. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Factors affecting the performance of crossflow filtration were investigated with a thin-channel module and yeast cells. In crossflow filtration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells cultivated with YPD medium (Yeast extract, polypeptone, and dextrose) and suspended in saline, a steady state was attained within several minutes when the cell concentration was low and the circulation flow rate was high. The steady-state flux and the change in flux during the initial unsteady state were explained well by conventional filtration theory, with the amount of cake deposited and the mean specific resistance to the cake measured in a dead-end filtration apparatus used in calculation. When the circulation flow rate was lower than a critical value, a part of the channel of the crossflow filtration module was plugged with cell cake, and thus the steady-state flux was low. In crossflow filtration of suspensions of commercially available baker's yeast, the flux gradually decreased, and the flux after 8 h of filtration was lower than the value calculated by filtration theory. Fine particles contaminating the baker's yeast was responsible for the decrease. A similar phenomenon was responsible for the decrease. A similar phenomenon was observed in crossflow filtration of a broth of S. cerevisiae cells cultivated in molasses medium, which also contains such particles, had no effect of the permeation flux during crossflow filtration. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Enhancement effect of polyethylene glycol on enzymatic synthesis of cephalexin (1993)

    Notes: In an enzymatic synthesis of cephalexin (CEX) using an acylase from Xanthomonas citri, the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the synthetic reaction of 7-amino-3-deacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA) and D-alpha-phenyl-glycine methyl ester (PGM) to CEX was investigated. The addition of PEG (MW 300-20,000) increased the yield significantly. This yield enhancement effect tended to increase with the increasing molecular weight of PEG. Addition of PEG to the reaction system did not affect both the CEX and PGM hydrolytic reactions. The PEG added to the reaction medium used in these experiments did not depress the water activity significantly, and the product yield improvement could not be explained by the activity alone. The PEG stabilized the enzyme activity to some extent, but this stabilizing effect was only partially attributable to the yield enhancement of CEX. The enhancing effect of PEG on the synthetic yield increased with the increasing PEG molecular weight or the length of the poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) chain, which increases the hydrophobicity of PEG. This finding consequently has led to the conclusion that the PEG structure renders the affinity between enzyme and 7-ADCA, which is a hydrophobic substrate. The microenvironmental hydrophobicity of PEG and its interaction with the hydrophobic substrate was found to be the main reason for the improvement of the CEX yield. In fact, the Michaelis-Menten kinetic constant for 7-ADCA, K7-ADCA in the presence of PEG was smaller than that in the control system (without PEG addition). © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A genetically structured mathematical model of the trp operon based on known molecular interactions of aporepressor, corepressor, and inducer is proposed. The model simulates, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the influence of these regulatory species on the extent of repression and expression of cloned gene products. It shows that at low aporepressor concentration, full repression is not possible even with high tryptophan levels, resulting in leaky expression. Calculations based on the model enabled predictions of optimum levels of aporepressor and tryptophan for effective repression and, concurrently, the β-indoleacrylic acid concentrations required for induction for both low and high plasmid copy number clones. Using the model we attempted to provide explanations for seemingly anomalous and sometimes contradictory observations by researchers when working with the trp promoter. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Effective diffusivity of lactose in active acidogenic biofilms was measured at 35°C and pH 4.6 with a specially designed diffusion cell. The diffusion cell was designed and operated in such a way that the lactose concentrations on the surface and at the center of a living bacterial aggregate could be measured at steady state. As a model parameter in a widely accepted reaction-diffusion equation which describes lactose distribution in living biofilms, the effective diffusivity of lactose in the biofilms was found to be about 65% of the lactose diffusivity in free solutions. It was experimentally determined that the active biofilms had about 66% void volume made up of channels through which the lactose molecules were transported into the bacterial aggregates. Therefore, the decrease in lactose diffusivity was mainly caused by the biofilm's solid biomass fraction rather than the tortuosity of the channels. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The enzymatic hydrolysis of olive oil using Chromobacterium viscosum lipase B encapsulated in reversed micelles of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane was investigated in an ultrafiltration ceramic membrane reactor of tubular type, operating in a batch mode. Water concentration was found to be a critical parameter in the enzyme kinetics and hydrolysis yield of the reaction. The size of micelles, recirculation rate, and substrate concentration were found to be the major factors affecting the separation process. A correlation that enables the prediction of final conversion degrees in this bioreactor from the initial reaction conditions was established. © 1993 Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Cytochrome P-450cam monooxygenase is an important bacterial redox enzyme system with potential commercial value for detoxifying trace hydrocarbon contaminants, catalyzing regiospecific hydroxylations, and amperometric biosensing. The present study was undertaken to increase productivity of this enzyme, which is induced in its host, pseudomonas putida PpG 786, by D(+)-camphor. Culture processes were studied in batch, fed-batch, and continuous modes to evaluate metabolic behavior and develop constitutive equations for specific rate of growth (μ), camphor utilization (qp). Fed-batch culture was characterized by an extended linear growth phase which is often encountered in hydrocarbon fermentations. Inhibition by the camphor solvent, dimethylformamide, was assessed. Production of the terminal protein of the p-450cam enzyme system, cytochrome m, was shown to depend on growth medium iron content in fed-batch culture and was increased by 130% over previously protocols by eliminating iron deficiency. A continuous process that enables greater production rates was developed by using oxygen enrichment while simultaneously reducing gas throughput. Camphor and oxygen requirements were determined for fedbatch and continuous growth. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
