Why meg is prefered in comparison to teg in dehydration?

Please have a look at the site below, it gives a very good explanation of the different uses of MEG and TEG. Some addition: Because the possible water content goes up in the order MEG<DEG<TEG, I'd expected TEG to have a better affinity for water, but it doesn't. The reason why TEG is used, is because it has a lower vapor pressure, so you will lose less in your process. Tetra EG would be better, but it's more viscous, so it would cost more to pump it around. You need to take into account more properties than only the hygroscopicity. Apparently, MEG is preferred for the low-temperature process with MEG injection, but it's not even cheaper! I'd say this satisfies my similar question for about 90%. http://www.jmcampbell.com/march-2007

Why digital computer is more accurate than analog computer?

  • an analog computer cannot be more accurate than its component tolerances. this usually limits them to no more than 2 to 4 digits accuracy (although a few have been built with 6 digits accuracy by using special components with very tight tolerances. but such parts are quite expensive).
  • a digital computer can have any accuracy desired simply by increasing the number of bits used to represent numbers.

also analog computers are subject to factors like drift, component aging, noise, etc. that have no effect on digital computers.

Comparison between compressor and water pump?

There are many different types of devices called compressors and pumps. In general, pumps move fluid while compressors create pressure. Pumps are usually associated with liquids while compressors are associated with gasses. In the end it is just language, and there are plenty of examples contradicting both those rules of thumb.

Can you call a physical quantity large or small without specifying a standard for comparison?

The amount or size of physical quantity depends on two things " number and unit".

Every physical quantity has its own standard for fixed amount which is called as unit. The same physical quantity with larger or smaller size is measured in different units. for example 1cm or 1m

Therefore even if we have to measure same physical quantity with larger or smaller size of it we should have a standard for comparison.

Comparison between airbus 300 and airbus 380?

The Airbus A300 is a short to medium range wide body airliner. It was the world's first twin-engined widebody, manufactured in 1972 by Airbus, and can carry around 250 to 300 passengers in a twin-aisle seating configuration. The Airbus A380 is a wide-body double-deck four-engined airliner, and is the largest passenger aircraft in the world, making its maiden flight on 27 April 2005. The airliner can carry up to 853 passengers in an all-economic class seating configuration. The A380 is significantly larger in size compared to the smaller A300.

Whats the difference between a seagull and a tern?

To my understanding, a tern is a seagull but a seagull is not necessarily a tern. (It's kind of how a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn't always a square.) A tern is a subfamily of seagulls (as a beagle is a subfamily of dogs). This particular seagull is smaller than most, has a long forked tail, and thus flies more gracefully.
