Chapter 1&2 Flashcards
The main objective of __________control is to limit the chemical dosage of a chemical by minimizing or preventing exposure.
health hazard
one involving the least total cost.
OPTIMUM ECONOMIC DESIGN
deals with process operating variable and equipment design variable other than those strictly related to structural concerns
PARAMETRIC OPTIMIZATION
includes expenses for direct labor, raw materials, power, heat, supplies and similar items which are a function of the amount of material produced.
OPERATING COST
__________ are due to expenses for directive personnels, physical equipment and other services/facilities which must be maintained irrespective of the amount of material produced
ORGANIZATION COST
__________ min. expenses for raw material, labor, power, etc-**remain constant while
_____________ costs are extra expenses due to increasing the rate of production such as expenses caused by overload on power facilities, additional labor requirement or decreased efficiency of
conversion
OPERATING COSTS
Super production
Represents the amount of a design that would be used to account not only the changes in the operating performance with time and with characteristics in the design process
SAFETY FACTOR
___________ is a complex phenomena that may involve one or more forms
Corrosion
_____________ is a corrosion of metals; confined to the metal surface but sometimes may occur along grain boundaries or other metal weaknesses because of the difference in resistance to metals or local electrolytic action
Chemical or electrochemical corrosion
is the deterioration of plastics and other nonmetals resulting in swelling, crazing, cracking, softening, and/or decomposition
Physiochemical Corrosion
___________ can also be initiated by galvanic action, impingement, cavitation or hydrogen attack
Corrosive action
an electric potential can be set operating between two series of various metals; can be prevented by insulating metals from each other
Galvanic Corrosion
Corrosion rate of most metals is affected by ______
Metals such as Al and Zn dissolve rapidly in either __________or _____
pH
acidic or basic solution
________ are not appreciably affected by pH
Noble metals
_________ often are powerful accelerators of corrosion
Oxidizing agents
Rate of __________ tends to increase with rising temperature and will also increase with an increase in volume. In addition, temperature has secondary effect through its influence on the solution of air which is the ________ influencing corrosion
corrosion
principal oxidizer
STRUCTURAL CORROSION includes at least three (3) different types of material damage
a)___________involves gray cast iron in which the metal is converted to graphite’s mixed with iron corrosion products
b)__________ is corrosion of a brass alloy containing Zn in which the principal product of corrosion is metallic copper
c) ___________ the metabolic activity of microorganisms can either directly or indirectly cause deterioration of a metal by corrosion processes
Graphitic corrosion
Dezincification
Biological corrosion
_______ activity in the fluid can produce corrosive environment, create electrolytic concentration cell in the metal surface films, have an influence on the rate of anodic or cathodic reaction or alter the environmental composition
BIOLOGICAL
Microorganisms associated with corrosion are either:
a) ________-thrive in the presence of oxygen
b) _______-thrive in the absence of oxygen
Aerobic
Anaerobic
Change in environment
_______ is an important factor in corrosion; removal or addition can result in marked change in corrosion
Reduction in __________ = reduction in corrosion
Modification of _____ values to less acidic condition also can result in less corrosion
Eliminating _____ minimizes corrosion of metals
Oxygen
temperature
pH
Moisture
-________ is effective when they can influence the cathode or anode areas reactions
Use of __________ coatings and lining materials in combination with steel
inhibition
nonmetallic
Two (2) General Classifications of Materials
Metals & Nonmetals
Meaning of AISI
American Iron and Steel Institute
____________ is the most commonly used material. For chemical processes industries used with most organic chemicals and neutral or basic aqueous solutions at moderate temperature.
Ferrous Metals/Alloys Carbon steel
