Muscles `clasp at rest`
Washington: Scientists have long believed that muscle fibres lie in straight lines.
However, a new study has now revealed that muscle fibres, in fact, buckle when they are shortened and at rest.
An international team, led by Robert Herbert at George Institute for Global Health, has based its conclusion on an analysis of ultrasound images of muscles.
"This contradicts previously accepted models of how muscles work, and has never been observed before. This new understanding will allow us to build more accurate models of muscle function," team member Prof Simon Gandevia, a muscle function expert at Neuroscience Research Australia, said.
According to the team, the findings will have medical implications.
"It may also help us better understand conditions with poor muscle performance due to abnormalities in muscle length, such as spasticity in cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis," said Prof Gandevia.
The study has been published in the latest edition of the `Journal of Physiology`.

EXPEDIA SHOULD REMOVE AS A NEAR TO AIRPORT HOTEL!!Posted Jun 29, 2015
Pros: NOT APPLICABLE
Cons: THE MISINFORMATION!!
Location: NOT AN AIRPORT HOTEL AS CLASSIFIED!
Before booking it was indicated as a surprise near to airport hotel with NO CANCELLATION. Details to be confirmed after payment! When booked there was no indication that the hotel did not offer the shuttle services from airport, neither tthat it was really distant from Leonardo DA Vicni Airport two factors that were importnt for a decision regarding selection and since the offering was a secret one with prepayment I consider it a TOTAL MISINFORMATION. Finally I did not use the hotel even though prepayment happened since a taxi fare from airport to hotel was 50 euro per way, a lot more than the offered room rate. BAD THING EXPEDIA AND HOTEL. You shall be more clear with these type of offerings! MANY ARE FALLING INTO THIS TRAP! NEVER BOOK SECRET WITH PRE-PAYMENT AND NO CANCELLATION!

CLAS dean looking to boost grad programs
Joseph Steinmetz has been on the job for six months as dean of the massive College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which houses 53 departments and programs and accounts for almost half of the bachelor's degrees KU awards each year. ![][1]Steinmetz, who came to KU last fall from Indiana University-Bloomington, said he hasn't made many big changes yet, and that he planned when he started his job to spend six to eight months studying the college before instituting any major changes. "What I'm stressing in the faculty meetings when I go around is that I want the faculty to be really confident of who they are and how good they are," he said. "I sometimes think they don't do that well- they sort of go about their business and don't much like to publicize the great scholarship and teaching that they do. I'm trying to get them to do that: be a little more boastful and tell people what's going on here."So far, just getting to know all the names and faces of the 600-plus faculty members has been a challenge, he said."I've been to 42 faculty meetings around the college, so that constitutes more than 80 percent of the faculty," Steinmetz said.Steinmetz, a psychologist by training, said he thinks the quality of undergraduate education is the college's biggest strength. One of his priorities, though, is to give a "shot in the arm" to the college's graduate-education programs."It's not that the graduate programs are weak. That's not what I'm suggesting," he said. "I'm really suggesting that strong graduate programs are really the key to maintaining good scholarship and research. I'd like to see some of the programs be a bit bigger than they are."He said it's too early to talk about which programs in particular will be a priority."What we're doing is going through a strategic planning process," he said. "We hope to get this plan out to everyone that will look at it sometime in April or May. I think in that plan that's where we'll spend some time identifying things that we really want to work on."-contributed by Eric Weslander.

"Amazing book turned into a crap movie."
The deeper Keel takes you into his experiences during the "Year of the Garuda" the more you find yourself questioning the things you "know" about the world around you. Presented in a style more reminiscent of a collection of articles than a single narrative Keel brings the reader into an ever more strange, and increasingly threatening microcosm consisting of true believers and the seemingly omnipresent phenomena that haunt them. Perhaps the most disturbing part of the book is Keels own decent into paranoid madness. The electronic "malfunctions", the men in black, a phone line issue that seems more than happenstance. John Keel finds himself no longer a simple documentarian, but a player in this wild and terrifying "game". In his search for an explanation Keel develops a strange and disconcerting hypothesis, connecting all the wild experiences that have been happening around him. Mothman, Indrid Cold, Strange Lights in the Sky, The Men in Black, for Keel they are not separate unexplainable phenomenon, for John Keel, they are all related and about a purpose that at best is indifferent to the pain and fear they cause, and at worst, enjoying the suffering they bring.
When Keel begins to express just how deep he went down the rabbit hole you get a feel for just how "real" all these unbelievable things are. Is there a Mothman? Are their Aliens? Are the Men in Black listening to your phone calls? The reality of these things becomes inconsequential, for Keel believes them to be true. By surrounding himself with "true" believers and immersing himself in all the "unexplainable" events surrounding Point Pleasant Keel falls into madness. Paranoia takes over and we see that, even were there no validity to the amazing events of that year, the power of belief held by those people possessed a danger of its own.
The narrator is nothing special, he reads well but with little panache
Even if its only in your mind, it doesn't mean its not real.
LOVED IT. And it still gives me the wiggins
"The movie was good, the book was even better!"
There is no way I am going to pass this book up! I have been a huge fan of stories such as this and either if it's real or not, everyone should have an open mind about this very subject! Fantastic!
"Loved it."
I don't understand why this book is rated so low, or gets such poor reviews. I found it both fascinating and very creepy at parts. Dragged sometimes, but over all I thought it was a great read/listen!
"I'm terrified of aliens"
So I read this book to conquer my fear. It all seems so fantastic, I'm not sure I can believe (which really helped with my fear of aliens) I like the narrator and the subject kept my interest. I had never heard of this before and have not seen the movie. He is an expert at building conspiracy theories. I do wonder if it's true or if he's just a bit touched.
"Look more closely before buying"
Here is an example of a book I should have looked at a bit more closely before purchasing. The promo audio clip sounded alright, as did the squib on Audible. This was a tedious book. Long-winded, purported non-fiction with no unifying theme that was apparent, other than the author is the only man alive clever enough to find space aliens behind hang-up phone calls and other natural disasters.
"campfire stories"
From the outset let me say that I did not expect this book to be the same story as the movie. I did some research before purchasing it. This book is ok for someone who is looking for stories that are the equivalent of campfire stories or bizarre stories you may hear from friends after a good bottle of wine. Don't look for scientific facts here because the author is more concerned with telling the stories that people have related to him, no matter how strange. Over all the book really goes nowhere and gives little illumination into the mystery of the Mothman sightings. It just wanders from one strange story to another leading the reader into a state of boredom rather than intrigue.
"Bullsweat Prophecies"
I admit I was suckered in by the title. It was a clever ruse, to call it something like Mothman Prophesies. It spends very little time on the so-called Mothman and even less time on any prophecies. For that matter, it's a meandering diatribe of a collection of every UFO and hair-brained X-files throw away story you've ever heard. And if you're anything like me, who's up-to-date on these types of stories, nothing new at all was expounded in this poor excuse for an "otherworldly" tome. When I listen to a book like this, I wonder at the level of mediocrity of content that is considered acceptable to put into print or on tape. It sounds to me like they sold the concept before they sold the book, and what they delivered, the work, fell far short of the mark, but the publisher was not willing to take a loss or figured that there are enough suckers out there to buy it that it would make it worthwhile. Apparently he was right, since I bought it, and it's no surprise that Hollywood optioned the rights...I'll bet the screenplay will have more of a story line than the book even if it has the depth of an '80's music video. Don't waste your money...the movie HAS to be better...
"Where's the mothman?"
I thought that this book was supposed to have a mothman in it. This book does not even contain a measily little moth. I thought that it was a horror story, like the movie (which was really good). Instead, this book is all about UFOs. I hate UFOs. They mess up our corn.
Where do I start? How about with the fact the author states that dark-skinned asians from outer space drive mysterious black VW Bugs and come to our planet to mutilate cattle, make prank phone calls, pretend to be government agents, and take suprise photographs of us while hiding in our living rooms?
I can't believe that 'literature' like this got published but hundreds of authors get rejected every month.
And the money the author accepted from Hollywood for the rights to develop a movie based on it would have been better invested in nursery rhymes.
It amazes me that this guy actually has made a living since the 1960s writing this stuff.
He takes credit for every original thought that UFO folks have had (because he 'wrote a paragraph' about it earlier). But discredits some of the folks he interviews while trying to make others look more believable.
The book isn't about the mothman - which he describes as being everything from a 10 foot chicken to a nude dark 7 foot tall woman with wings. It's about nothing in particular; just a collection of accounts in the late 60s and early 70s that he 'investigated.'
It's hard to listen to the book without being insulted by the author's attempt to even make you belive some of this stuff.
Like a proverbial 'train wreck' the only reason to continue to listen is to see just how far out on a limb this guy can go. Just when you think he's managed to completely confuse everything that you've ever heard about UFOs; he'll take it a step further by telling you that these same aliens will cause your phone lines to screach and then send poltergeists to your house just for kicks. Obviously no one ever told him that UFOs, Ghosts, & Demons are about as different subjects as Vasectomies, Home Shopping Channes, and Oil Changes are.
Save your money.
Save your sanity.
Save what's left of your good taste.
Don't buy this book.
You've been warned.
"A masterpiece"
One of the most compelling books I have ever read. John Keel investigates the UFO phenomenon from an objective standpoint and discovers that the truth is far more bizarre than the bogus stories the standard UFOlogists can dream up.
The title is somewhat misleading as the book is not about mothman, though he is mentioned. It is also true that the book is nothing like the cheap garbage movie that bears the same name. The producers of that movie merely bought the name so the could produce some trash and make a quick buck.
I would also like to address those reviewers that feel the book is a bunch of disconnected stories. You obviously missed the point entirely and Mr. Keel explains his point in detail in the first few chapters. The point is the common connection between the stories. The point is that all sorts of other weird things happen in the same places and at the same times that UFO sightings are recorded. All of these things must therefore be part of the same phenomenon.
If you have on open mind and the ability to read a story objectively without forming a "belief", prepare to be glued to your earphones for 9 hours.

HDTV Olympic Coverage is Slow-Going
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Home Entertainment
We're slowly getting there, but this year's Olympics will only be seen with some limitations for HD subscribers, estimated to be around 2.5 million people. Interestingly, there are about 5 million HDTV sets out there without HD receivers. In other words, people are buying the sets, but aren't yet flocking to a cable or satellite HD subscription. You can find out more about how HDTV's work here.

Metaforic, the innovative software security company, today announced its flagship product line is now also available for mobile applications written in Objective-C, the most commonly used software language on Apple iOS platforms. With state-of-the-art protection against a variety of offline and runtime attacks, including unwanted method swizzling, Metaforic's enhanced offering will make it easier for developers on this popular platform to automatically incorporate unparalleled security into their applications.
"Delivering robust security while maintaining usability is one of the top priorities any consumer or enterprise developer aspires to today," stated Maribel Lopez, Founder of Lopez Research. "With 67 percent of enterprises ranking mobile security as a company's greatest concern with mobility, it's imperative that businesses have a robust way to secure mobile applications."
Using Metaforic technology, application developers can automatically infuse a patented immune system into their applications to ensure they can defend themselves from malware, subversion, tampering, or other attacks, protecting both themselves and their users. Building security directly into the application is particularly critical on iOS since Apple restricts third party security applications, such as anti-malware offerings or BYOD protection.
One especially challenging security threat for iOS applications is method swizzling, which is an integral part of Objective-C, but which hackers and malware can easily use to swap in alternative functionality. For example, an application could use a fake authentication process rather than the intended one, send confidential account information to an external party, or essentially execute whatever the hacker desires. Metaforic technology uniquely protects against application patching that uses this approach, and delivers a higher level of security on iOS than previously available in the market.
Metaforic's new support for Objective-C on iOS adds to Metaforic's wide array of supported platforms, including Android, BlackBerry, Linux, Mac OS and Windows. By adding Objective-C support, Metaforic now offers its world-class application protection across the majority of the Apple iOS application community (with C and C++ already covered), fulfilling the demands of developers from a wide variety of key industries including, mobile financial, digital media distribution and enterprise mobility.
This release includes:
- Metaforic Core™, which enables software developers to infuse a software immune system into iOS applications to defend it against attacks to the application logic or static data
- Metaforic Concealer™, which allows sensitive data items such as encryption keys to be held in a crypto format to protect against exfiltration and modification
These products create a high-security version of the application, protecting against major threats, including:
- Real-time or offline subversion
- Software repackaging
- Targeted malware modifications
- Man-in-the-middle and man-at-the-end attacks
- Replacement or discovery of keys
Any unwanted change to a Metaforic protected application triggers a response, which may be customized as required. Metaforic's unique, patented automated integration functionality does not require development involvement or security expertise and uses both static and dynamic analysis of the application to ensure the highest possible level of security.
About Metaforic
Metaforic is a leader in software security, protecting software from the inside out, so that critical programs can safely run in hostile or imperfectly protected operating environments. Metaforic software immunization technology defends virtually any software from subversion, theft, piracy, tampering or other corruption. It is proven in millions of deployed instances, from consumer devices to business software. Only software protected by Metaforic earns the Mark of Security distinction. Offices are located in the United States, Europe and Japan. Further information is available at www.metaforic.com.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

I remember opening my first bank account in this branch over 24 years ago. I am not surprised they are still in the same location. The employees have changed over the years but their service gets better and better. Their location is in the busy and crowded residential and business areas but they have their own parking and attendant as well. We've consulted with their investment as regular banking professionals. They've all been very good in what they do. Although the wait time might sometime take long depending on the time and day of your arrival, they always check on you and make you feel a valuable customer.

Cleaning California Carpets is the best carpet cleaning I have worked with. Their work is professional, and they are by far the cheapest carpet cleaning in comparison to other companies. I worked with other companies in the past who managed to do a decent job, however their service sucked. But Cleaning California Carpets provided great service, professional work, and most importantly they were low in price. Thank you very much Cleaning California Carpets!!!
I took my dog out for a walk in the park the other day. When I got home it hit me that he played in the much because of the little dirt stains all over the carpet floors. I was upset and decided to call Los Angeles STEAM CLEAN GREEN PROFESSIONAL that afternoon. They scheduled me for the following day appointment. They showed up on time and were able to remove all those footprint stains for a very good price. Thanks again for the great inexpensive work.

Canon 10D or Spotting Scope
Feb 23, 2004
Currently I have an Olympus C2100 but it just doesn't have enough zoom. I take pictures of wildlife and birds. So I'm trying to decide if it would be better to go with a Spotting scope with a focial length of 460mm that I can attach my C2100 to. Or buy a 10D.
What kind of lens would I need for the 10D? 75-300mm? Has any body every take pictures with the 10D and a 75-300mm with out a tripod and got good results? Where can you buy used Canon lens?

1. Field of the Invention:
This invention relates to packing material units for use in liquid-gas contact apparatuses.
2. Description of the Prior Art:
It has been the general practice to employ packing units of a synthetic polymeric material as packing material for washing towers, absorption towers or distilling towers because of its superior corrosion resistance and low prices. Examples of such packing material units include a filamentous packing unit disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,867,425 as shown in FIG. 6 of the accompanying drawing (hereinafter referred to as "unit A") and a similar filamentous packing unit disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,752,453 as shown in FIG. 7 (hereinafter referred to as "unit B").
In designing the packing material for the mass transfer process between liquid and gas phases, the following properties are usually taken into consideration as general criteria.
(1) Large surface area per unit volume;
(2) Large free volume permitting, with a minimized resistance, the passage of liquid and gas flows through the tower;
(3) High mechanical strength;
(4) Small amount of resin per unit volume; and
(5) Feasibility of injection molding.
The above-mentioned packing units A and B almost satisfy these requirements. From an economical point of view, however, it is still desired to reduce the number of packing units required to fill a unit volume, which is as large as 32,500/m3 in the case of unit A and 25,000/m3 in the case of unit B. Less packing units are required per unit packed space in the case of the unit B since it is provided with an outer ring which serves to reduce the amount of interlocking with adjacent units.
The reduction in the number of the packing units, however, normally leads to a reduction in surface area per unit volume, bringing about an undesired reduction in the interfacial area per unit contactor volume which is an important factor in the mass transfer between liquid and gas phases. Moreover, providing a further interlock-preventing member to reduce the number of packing units per unit packed space causes an increase in amount of the synthetic polymeric material and, if the thickness of the filaments is reduced to avoid this problem, the resulting packing units are then lowered in strength. Thus, the reduction of the filling number, i.e. the increase of the bulk volume, which is desirable from an economic point of view, has not been sought for in view of the impairment of other properties.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an economical packing material unit for use in a mass transfer process. It is another object of the present invention to provide a packing material unit which permits a reduction in the filling number without entailing a drop in mechanical strength or an increase in amount of the polymeric material and which can be produced by injection molding.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, when considered in light of the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view diagrammatically showing a packing material unit according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view, partly in cross-section, of the packing material unit of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary enlarged perspective view of the same packing unit;
FIGS. 4 and 5 are graphic representations of the relationship between the gas velocity in the tower and the height of an overall gas-phase mass-transfer unit and the relationship between the gas flow velocity G and the pressure drop, respectively; and
FIGS. 6 and 7 are perspective views of conventional packing units.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the packing material unit according to the present invention is provided with an outer, generally circular ring 1 which has substantially a square or rectangular shape in section, and an inner, generally circular ring 2 which is positioned generally coaxially, preferably concentrically, with the outer ring 1. Bridged between the outer and inner rings 1 and 2 are a plural number of radially extending paired filament members 4 and 5. Each of the filament members 4 and 5 is substantially square or rectangular in section, with inner and outer surfaces 7 and 6 and opposite side surfaces 8 and 9. In the particular embodiment shown, each one of the filament members 4 and 5 has one end portion fixed to the outer ring with the outer surface 6 being in contact with the inner periphery of the outer ring 1, and the other end portion fixed to the inner ring 2 with the outer surface 6 being in contact with the outer periphery of the inner ring 1. The manner of fixing the filaments 4 and 5 to the inner and outer rings 2 and 1 is not limited to the form just described. For example, the opposite end faces of the respective filaments may be fixed to the inner and outer rings if desired.
As shown particularly in FIG. 2, each pair of filaments 4 and 5 are oriented to form an angle of θ between the side surface 8 of the filament 4 and the side surface 9 of the filament 5. Extending between intermediate portions of each pair of filaments 4 and 5 is a connecting member 10 which serves to enhance the mechanical strength of the packing unit and to prevent interlocking with other packing units. The connecting member 10 normally has a square or rectangular shape in section. Although the connecting member 10 may be protruded beyond the outer surfaces 6 of the filaments 4 and 5, it is preferable to provide it in flush with the outer surfaces 6 of the filaments as shown in the drawings in order to minimize attrition caused by occasional vibration during operation and to ease handling for charging or discharging of the packing units.
A plural number of pairs of filaments 4 and 5, each linked by the connecting member 10, are positioned side by side such that their curved outer surfaces are oriented alternately to opposite sides of the plane involving the outer and inner rings 1 and 2 to form a plurality of circular or elliptic loops arranged about an imaginary circle which is concentric with the outer and inner rings 1 and 2. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, a pair of filaments 4a and 5a which are located adjacent to a pair of upwardly curved filaments 4 and 5 have the respective outer surfaces 6a disposed downward, with the side surface 9 of the filament 5 being in contact with the opposing side surface 8a of the filament 4a. Therefore, the adjacent filaments 5 and 4a jointly form a loop. If the packing material unit has an n-number of pairs of filaments, there is established the relationship of nθ=360� in which θ is the angle formed by the filaments of each pair as mentioned hereinbefore. The respective paired filaments may be arranged at different angles (θ1, θ2, . . . θn), and in that case they are in the relationship of θ1 +θ2 . . . θn =360�. However, no special merit is obtained from the use of filament pairs of different angles.
The packing unit of the invention is further provided with a plural number (four in the particular embodiment shown) of reinforcing members 11, each extending between apex portions of opposing filaments of adjacent filament pairs. As best seen from FIG. 3, one end (or end face) of the each reinforcing member 11 is abuttingly connected to the inner surface of the apex portion of the filament 4a. The other end of the reinforcing member 11 is connected to the opposing filament 5 in the bulged apex portion thereof with the side surface of the reinforcing member being in contact with the side surface 9 of the filament 5. The reinforcing members 11 serve to further increase the strength of the packing material unit and at the same time to prevent interlocking of individual packing units. The number of the reinforcing members is preferred to be greater than four and to be provided at angularly equidistant positions about the axis of the packing unit. It is also preferred that the reinforcing members 11 are arranged so that the exposed end faces 12 of the reinforcing members 11 are present in the same number and at uniform angular intervals in the upper and lower sides of the unit so as to have the most effective interlocking-preventing structure.
The packing material unit can be produced by way of injection molding and respective parts which constitute the packing material unit are, thus, formed from the same synthetic polymeric material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, nylon, fluororesins, polystyrene and the like.
The packing material unit construction of the present invention, which employs the connecting members 10 and reinforcing members 11, prevents interlocking of the individual units. Therefore, less packing units are required for filling a unit packing space. In addition, the filament portions can be formed in a reduced thickness (sectional area) owing to the increase of mechanical strength of the unit by the provision of the connecting and reinforcing members, permitting to cut the amount of the polymeric material to an extent which is greater than the amount required for the connecting and reinforcing members. However, the reduction of the filling number will invite a reduction in the surface area of the packing unit per unit volume, consequently reducing the interfacial area per unit contactor volume. Therefore, if the mass velocity of each of gas and liquid is constant, there occurs an increase in the height of an overall gas-phase mass transfer unit HOG. This may appear disadvantageous in view of the relationship that Z=HOG �NOG, where Z is the height of the packed section and NOG is the number of overall gas-phase mass transfer units. But, the reduction in the number of packing units makes it possible to increase the mass velocity of the gas because of the reduction of the pressure drop in the gas flows. Since the mass velocity of the liquid can also be increased, it becomes possible to increase the above-mentioned interfacial area to some extent, which contributes to the reduction of HOG. If the flow rate is constant, the increase of these mass velocities permits the reduction of the sectional area of a tower, namely, the reduction of the diameter of a tower, which is desirable from the standpoint of reducing the packing volume. As a consequence, with the packing units of the present invention, the mass velocity can be increased to such an extent that the increase in the volume of a packed section can be avoided in spite of some increase in the height of the packed section. Therefore, the packing material unit of the present invention can achieve a given mass transfer process at a lower cost as compared with the conventional packing units A and B.
Ammonia-containing air (1.2 kg/m3 in density) is contacted with water for absorption of ammonia in a tower packed with packing material units of this invention, packing material units A, or units B, having the same gross volume. The air feed rate is 50,000 kg/h. The process is conducted with the number of overall gas-phase mass transfer units NOG of 4.8 under conditions involving the liquid flow velocity L through the tower being 20,000 and the pressure drop ΔP being 20 mmH2 O/m. The numbers, weights and surfaces areas of the respective packing material units are as shown in Table 1. The graphs of FIGS. 4 and 5 show the relationship between the gas flow velocity G and the height of overall gas-phase mass transfer unit and the relationship between G and the pressure drop ΔP, respectively. In FIG. 4, the curve 15 is for the packing material unit of this invention while the curve 16 is for the units A and B. In FIG. 5, the curves 17, 18 and 19 are respectively for the unit of this invention, unit A and unit B. In the case of the packing material according to the present invention, the value of G at the pressure drop of 20 mmH2 O/m is 6400 kg/m2 H as seen from the curve 17 in FIG. 5 and therefore the sectional area A of the packed section is 7.8 m (50,000/6400 m2). Thus, the tower diameter D is 3.15 m. Further, as seen from the curve 15 in FIG. 4, the value of HOG at G=6,400 is 0.33 m, so that the height of the packed section is Z=NOG �HOG =4.8�0.33=1.58 m and the packed volume is V=D�Z=12.32 m.sup. 3. Since the required number of packing units per unit volume is 18,500, it is necessary to use 227,920 (18,500�12.32) units in total in order to satisfy the condition of the process. The corresponding values of the units A and B, obtained by similar calculations, are also shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1______________________________________ Unit of Unit A Unit B Invention______________________________________Number of required per unit 32500 25000 18500volume (m3)Weight per unit volume (kg/m3) 119 120 70(polypropylene)Surface area (m2 /m3) 185 180 143Tower diameter D (m) 3.15 3.75 3.50Packed height (m) 1.58 1.13 1.20Packed volume (m3) 12.32 12.54 11.52Number of units 227920 407550 288000______________________________________
The economical values of the conventional units A and B and the unit of the invention, which have no material difference in the manufacturing cost per unit, are regarded as being proportional to the number of packed units. As clear from the results shown in Table 1, the packing unit of the present invention permits the mass transfer process to proceed economically in a comparably advantageous manner in spite of the reduced surface area per unit volume. A higher mechanical strength and a prolonged service life of the packing material unit of this invention as compared with the conventional units, further improve its economical value.
