The nature of these paraffins and their concentration in diesel fuel affect the three temperatures that characterize the cold behavior. The cloud point is the temperature at which crystals of paraffins appear when the temperature is lowered. The cold filter pluming point is defined as the temperature under which a suspension no ionger flows through a standard filter. Finally, the pour point is the temperature below which the diesel fuel no longer flows by simple gravity in a standard tube. These three temperatures are defined by regulations and the refiner has three types of additives to improve the quality of the diesel fuel of winter. 

Although lubricant base stocks have been subjected to dewaxing processes, they still contain large amounts of paraffins that result in a high pour point for the oil. In the paragraph on the cold behavior of diesel fuels, additives were mentioned that modify the paraffin crystalline system and oppose the precipitation of solids.

Improving the cetane number by additives results in better engine behavior, as would be predicted by the combustion mechanisms in the diesel engine (noise reduction, better operating characteristics, particularly when cold). Nevertheless, concerning certain items such as pollution emissions, it may be better to obtain a higher cetane number rather by modification of the... 

The wax deposition behaviors of Bombay high crude oil have been studied under different conditions using a cold disk-type assembly [769]. It is observed that the deposition occurs much less with additive-treated crude than with... 

Heating a flask. Since they are cold-blooded creatures, flasks show more of their unusual behavior while being heated. The behavior is usually unpleasant if certain precautions are not taken. In addition to star cracks, various states of disrepair can occur, leaving you with a benchtop to clean. Both humane and cruel heat treatment of flasks will be covered in (see Chapter 13, Sources of Heat ), which is on the SPCG (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Glassware) recommended readings list. 

In addition, changes in the flow rate of the substrate stream in turn cause complex alterations in the flow pattern within these reactors, which may lead to consequent unexpected effects upon the conversion rate. The most useful tool to solve such problems in fluidized beds is the employment of cold-flow models. Thus, it is not surprising that most work in fluidized beds has been focused on the cold model behavior and thus on their hydraulic behavior.

Test the solubility of your sample in toluene and in hot water and note the peculiar character of the aqueous solution when it is cooled and when it is then rubbed against the tube with a stirring rod. Note also that the substance dissolves in cold sodium bicarbonate solution and is precipitated by addition of an acid. Compare a tablet of commercial aspirin with your sample. Test the solubility of the tablet in water and in toluene and observe if it dissolves completely. Compare its behavior when heated in a melting point capillary with the behavior of your sample. If an impurity is found, it is probably some substance used as binder for the tablets. Is it organic or inorganic To interpret your results, consider the mechanism whereby salicylic acid is acetylated. 

As we explore the interaction of cold-atom systems with microwave and terahertz radiation, we find that they have some unique properties as detectors. A comparison with superconductor-based detectors such as SQUlDs is instractive. Because of the third law of thermodynamics, i.e., a system in a single quantum state has zero entropy, the response of a SQUID is almost free of thermal noise. But an additional properly of SQUIDs is that they exhibit the phenomenon of coherence, i.e., wave interference, which leads to entirely new effects, e.g. the AC and DC Josephson effects. Cold atom clouds share this behavior, as we will discuss below.
