Limitations And Dynamics Imposed On Multicomponent Batch Distillation By Tray Hydraulics, Keith G. Tomazi Jan 1997

Limitations And Dynamics Imposed On Multicomponent Batch Distillation By Tray Hydraulics, Keith G. Tomazi

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Batch distillation models incorporating a complete set of hydraulic relations, energy balances, and tray efficiencies and simpler models based upon constant molar holdup and zero holdup (the Rayleigh equation) were used to obtain distillation curves and optimal reflux policies. The approach to hydraulic limitations was monitored in the complete hydraulic model. The results indicate that during a multicomponent batch distillation the combination of the changes in the liquid composition and liquid flow rates causes the molar holdup on the trays to vary with time and, consequently, the characteristic time constant of the trays changes. The predicted composition profiles for descriptions …

Vegetation Dynamics At The Gerald Gentleman Station Mitigation Site, Lincoln County, Nebraska, Michael P. Gutzmer Jan 1997

Vegetation Dynamics At The Gerald Gentleman Station Mitigation Site, Lincoln County, Nebraska, Michael P. Gutzmer

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Gerald Gentleman Station (GGS), located in southwestern Nebraska near Sutherland, is the newest and largest electric generating facility in the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) system. In August 1994, NPPD constructed a 9.2-mile long railspur between GGS and the Union Pacific Railroad to create competition in the coal-hauling market. A multi-objective criteria analysis was used to identify a railspur route with the optimal combination of low environmental impact, favorable engineering characteristics and economic feasibility. Based on jurisdictional delineations, the GGS railspur impacted 1.95 acres of wetlands. Construction ofthe wetlands to mitigate for those impacted acres was initiated during winter 1993-94 …

Transitional Justice In Eastern Germany, Donald P. Kommers Jan 1997

Transitional Justice In Eastern Germany, Donald P. Kommers

Journal Articles

On October 3, 1990, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) ceased to exist. On that celebrated day of German unity, the GDR incorporated itself into the legal and political system of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Economic and social union had taken place a few months earlier.' After 40 years, a people who had become accustomed to central planning, full employment, and state ownership of almost everything suddenly found themselves compacted into a profit-driven market economy rooted in private ownership. Equally swift was the legal revolution, for Unity Day witnessed the toppling of the GDR's judicial system, along with its …

Leadership From The Perspectives Of Filipino-Americans: A Delphi Study, Pablo J. Mendoza Edd Jan 1997

Leadership From The Perspectives Of Filipino-Americans: A Delphi Study, Pablo J. Mendoza Edd

Dissertations

The majority of the texts and other materials on leadership have been written from the perspective of people from Western culture. A number of scholars have called attention to this lack of a more diverse literature, inquiring as to the reasons why academicians primarily offer leadership literature that has a predominantly Western culture perspective. Since social and political contexts represent diverse cultural views, leadership literature should also reflect that diversity. This issue is particularly important in the San Diego area for Filipino-Americans because of their increasing numbers and active participation in social and political endeavors. The absence of culturally and …

Landscape Cover-Type Modeling Using A Multi-Scale Thematic Mapper Mosaic, Collin G. Homer, R. Douglas Ramsey, Thomas C. Edwards Jr., Allan Falconer Jan 1997

Landscape Cover-Type Modeling Using A Multi-Scale Thematic Mapper Mosaic, Collin G. Homer, R. Douglas Ramsey, Thomas C. Edwards Jr., Allan Falconer

Wildland Resources Faculty Publications

Landscape ecological applications of remotely sensed data are needed over increasingly larger areas and at finer spatial scales. Within the framework of the National Biological Service Gap Analysis program, 36 Utah cover types were modeled from a state-wide Landsat TM mosaic created from 24 scenes at 30-metre resolution (219,883 sq km). The state was subset into three ecoregions for classification, with cover-type association to spectral classes defined using a two-step modeling approach. Steps included post-classification correlation of 1,758 state-wide field training sites to spectral classes, and post-classification ancillary GIS modeling using ecological parameters of elevation, slope, aspect, and location to …

Characterization Of Variable Molecular Weight And Alternative Solvent Poly(Methylmethacrylate) Resist Systems For Electron Beam Lithography, Todd Eakin Jan 1997

Characterization Of Variable Molecular Weight And Alternative Solvent Poly(Methylmethacrylate) Resist Systems For Electron Beam Lithography, Todd Eakin

Theses

Poly(methylmethacrylate), PMMA, resist samples with varying weight average molecular weights and several non-chlorobenzene casting solvents were characterized utilizing. electron beam lithography. Environmental concerns with chlorobenzene have motivated investigation into alternative casting solvents for PMMA resists. Processing effects of variation in the molecular weight of the PMMA resin were unknown and have been quantified. Weight average molecular weights ranging from 539,000 g/mol to 614,000 g/mol were studied in chlorobenzene resist systems. Chlorobenzene, anisole, butyl-acetate, and propylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate solvents were studied in resist systems of constant weight average molecular weight. A three stage screening, optimization, and confirmation experiment was …

An Analysis Of The Supreme Court's Reliance On Racial "Stigma" As A Constitutional Concept In Affirmative Action Cases, Andrew F. Halaby, Stephen R. Mcallister Jan 1997

An Analysis Of The Supreme Court's Reliance On Racial "Stigma" As A Constitutional Concept In Affirmative Action Cases, Andrew F. Halaby, Stephen R. Mcallister

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

The Article's focus is confined to discussions of race-based affirmative action; it does not consider stigmatization arguments in the context of discrimination involving gender or disabilities, for example. Further, the Article's scope is limited to the stigmatization issue as between Whites and African Americans. Although similar issues exist with respect to other ethnic or racial groups, we view the White/African American paradigm as providing the clearest framework for analysis. Moreover, the cases of Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education, joint progenitors of stigmatization as a concept having constitutional significance in interpreting the Equal Protection Clause of …

Toward A South African Administrative Justice Act, Michael Asimow Jan 1997

Toward A South African Administrative Justice Act, Michael Asimow

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

Section 33 of South Africa's Constitution provides fundamental principles of administrative justice. It also requires Parliament to adopt an Administrative Justice Act. This Article contends that without enactment of such legislation Section 33 will be ineffective in practice and may prove to be an obstacle to achieving the economic and social objectives of the Constitution. In addition, such legislation is essential to preserving the legitimacy and the effectiveness of the Constitutional Court.
