In practice, reaction rates are often determined by physical processes (e.g. mass flow, diffusion, mass transfer area) as well as by chemical processes. The activation energy observed in these cases is called the apparent activation energy.
As Low As Reasonably Practicable The concept that efforts to reduce risk should be continued until the incremental sacrifice (in terms of cost, time, effort, or other expenditure of resources) is grossly disproportionate to the incremental risk reduction achieved. The term As Low As Reasonably...
Procedural mechanism for controlling, monitoring, or auditing human performance, such as lock out/tagout procedures, bypass approval processes, car seals, and permit systems.
Maximum increase in temperature that can be achieved. This increase only occurs when the substance or reaction mixture decomposes completely and at adiabatic conditions.
