  2. Damköhler numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damköhler_numbers

    The residence time scale can take the form of a convection time scale, such as volumetric flow rate through the reactor for continuous (plug flow or stirred tank) or semibatch chemical processes: D a I = reaction rate convective mass transport rate {\displaystyle \mathrm {Da_{\mathrm {I} }} ={\frac {\text{reaction rate}}{\text{convective mass ...

  3. Photomultiplier tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomultiplier_Tube

    The aforementioned refers to measurement of light fluxes that, while small, nonetheless amount to a continuous stream of multiple photons. For smaller photon fluxes, the photomultiplier can be operated in photon-counting, or Geiger , mode (see also Single-photon avalanche diode ).

  4. Flow chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_chemistry

    If these fluids are reactive, a reaction takes place. Flow chemistry is a well-established technique for use at a large scale when manufacturing large quantities of a given material. However, the term has only been coined recently for its application on a laboratory scale by chemists and describes small pilot plants, and lab-scale continuous ...

  5. Scintillation counter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintillation_counter

    The quantum efficiency of a gamma-ray detector (per unit volume) depends upon the density of electrons in the detector, and certain scintillating materials, such as sodium iodide and bismuth germanate, achieve high electron densities as a result of the high atomic numbers of some of the elements of which they are composed.

  6. Residence time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residence_time

    The residence time of a fluid parcel is the total time that the parcel has spent inside a control volume (e.g.: a chemical reactor, a lake, a human body).The residence time of a set of parcels is quantified in terms of the frequency distribution of the residence time in the set, which is known as residence time distribution (RTD), or in terms of its average, known as mean residence time.

  7. Continuous production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_production

    Continuous production is a flow production method used to manufacture, produce, or process materials without interruption.Continuous production is called a continuous process or a continuous flow process because the materials, either dry bulk or fluids that are being processed are continuously in motion, undergoing chemical reactions or subject to mechanical or heat treatment.

  8. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  9. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    [4] With respect to molecular diffusion, dispersion occurs as a result of an unequal concentration of the introduced material throughout the bulk medium. When the dispersed material is first introduced into the bulk medium, the region at which it is introduced then has a higher concentration of that material than any other point in the bulk.
