continues to move toward the more efficient and lower-overall-cost carbonylation-of-methanol process. For example‚ all manufacture of acetic acid from acetaldehyde in North America has been discontinued and in Europe significant capacity for this process has been permanently shut down. Acetaldehyde use for acetic acid manufacture in Asia continues but is under pressure from the ongoing establishment of methanol carbonylation technology. Demand has also significantly declined in the production

and equipment limitations‚ which caused the data points obtained to vary from the expected theoretical values. The factors and assumptions made were that the minor head losses were negligible‚ which might not have been the case. The density and viscosity values obtained from the data sheet might have also introduced error into the results. Introduction Theory and Principles In this experiment‚ the theory and principles in used is the loss of energy and total head of fluid due

SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE Masahiro OUCHI 1 SUMMARY Self-compacting concrete was first developed 1988 in order to achieve durable concrete structures. Since then‚ various investigations have been carried out and the concrete has been used in practical structures in Japan‚ mainly by large construction companies. Investigations for establishing a rational mix-design method and self-compactability testing methods have been carried out to make the concrete the standard one. Keywords: self-compacting

convection currents as the most likely mechanism for plate motions. The cover of convective modes may appear as resulting from plate tectonics: large-scale flows driven by plates causing small scale convection in the upper mantle or held captive in a low viscosity zone underneath the lithosphere. The start of secondary flows could be responsible for the flattening of seafloor subsidence determined for lithospheres older than 70 Ma. (Dubuffet‚ et. al.‚ 2000). The short version is that when something is heated

and glaciation (plucking) the glacier forms the valley. This means that through the violent nature in which the glacier travels downslope‚ it weakens and takes off some of the rock from the mountain. Along with this‚ glaciers have a much greater viscosity than a river‚ which restricts the course of the glacier‚ keeping it relatively straighter and smoother. Through this abrasion and glaciation‚ the ice sometimes begins to thaw. This then allows the large rocky material‚ now small boulders to be deposited

1.0 TITLE Extraction of Phenol and Flavanoid compound of the edible brown seaweed species (Eucheuma Cottonii). 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 An overview of Seaweed Macro-algae or “seaweeds” are multicellular plants growing in salt or fresh water. They belong to the lower plants‚ meaning that they do not have roots‚ stems and leaves. Instead they are composed of a thallus (leaf-like) and sometimes a stem and a foot (holdfast). Some species have gas-filled structures to provide buoyancy. They are often
