Determination of Entropy for Nonreacting Liquids and Solids For liquids and solids, one can safely assume incompressibility over any pressure range common to fuel cells so that the pressure dependence of entropy is negligible. Additionally, the specific heat of liquids and solids varies little over a wide temperature range. Using these simplifications. 

The addition of boron fluoride to a nonreacting mixture of isobutylene and titanium tetrachloride at -80° resulted in a rapid polymerization of isobutylene. In other words, as has already been mentioned, the liquid phase polymerization of isobutylene with boron fluoride catalyst apparently does not require the presence of water. 

Introduction Many present-day commercial gas absorption processes involve systems in which chemical reactions take place in the liquid phase an example of the absorption of C02 by MEA has been presented earlier in this section. These reactions greatly increase the capacity of the solvent and enhance the rate of absorption when compared to physical absorption systems. In addition, the selectivity of reacting solutes is greatly increased over that of nonreacting solutes. For example, MEA nas a strong selectivity for C02 compared to chemically inert solutes such as CH4, CO, or N2. Note that the design procedures presented here are theoretically and practically related to biofiltration, which is discussed in Sec. 25 (Waste Management). 

Of course, in the case of both curing agents and catalysts, suitable adjustments will have to be made for the presence of nonreactive fillers and modifiers. Such ingredients can be liquids such as a solvent, a hydrocarbon resin, or a plasticizer. Since they do not contribute any epoxide functionality, they should not be considered when one is determining stoichiometry. However, if the additives have epoxy functionality, such as in the case of reactive diluents, the stoichiometric calculations will have to take these materials into consideration, by calculating ratios similarly as with an epoxy resin. 

A closed, nonreactive system contains species 1 and 2 in vapor/liquid equilibrium. Species 2 is a very light gas, essentially insoluble in tire liquid phase. The vapor phase contains botlr species 1 and 2. Some additional moles of species 2 are added to the system, wliich is then restored to its initial T and P. As a result of the process, does the total number of moles of liquid increase, decrease, or remain unchanged ... 

One way to get around the problem is to use liquid CO2 instead of water as the transport medium. One advantage of liquid CO2 is that it is less viscous than water. Friction in the pipeline would be lower, so less energy would be needed to transport a given amount of coal. Also there is little if any interaction between powdered coal and liquid carbon dioxide. Because of the lower viscosity and nonreactivity of liquid carbon dioxide (compared to water), slurries can carry more coal. That means additional energy savings and also means that a smaller pipelines could provide the same coal throughput. 

Adhesives are nonmetaUic substances used to join two surfaces by means of surface adherence (adhesion) and inherent strength (cohesion), DIN 16920. This definition of adhesives does not cover water glass adhesives, adhesive ceramics, or adhesive mortars. The substances used as adhesives are polymers that go through a liquid phase at least once (reactive adhesives) or more than once (hotmelts, thermally activated adhesives). The liquid phase can also be achieved by dissolution in suitable solvents (nonreactive adhesives). In dispersion adhesives, the polymer molecules are dispersed (finely distributed) in a liquid - usually water - whereby the polymer molecules themselves are not dissolved. Fig. 6. These adhesives are also known as water-based or aqueous adhesives. It must be remembered that solvents are contained in these adhesives in addition to the water. Genuine aqueous adhesives contain less than 5% solvents in the liquid phase. The dispersions crnitain, in contrast to the solute adhesive molecules, additional substances, disposal of which requires specific additional measures. Since the dispersions represent stable systems in water, the water-resistance of such adhesives is reduced. Their thermal and water resistance can be increased by additional crosslinking (usually with isocyanates). 

At the catalyst-electrolyte surface we have gas-phase diffusion, and there can also be additional surface diffusion. In surface diffusion, gas molecules physically or chemically absorb onto a solid surface. If it is physical absorption, the species are highly mobUe. If it is chemisorption and the molecule is more strongly bonded to the specific site, species are not directly mobile but can move via a hopping mechanism. Surface diffusion rates can be measured by direct measurement of the flux of a nonreacting gas across the material surface. The difference between the measured diffusion and predicted Knudsen diffusion is calculated to be the surface diffusion component. Values of the surface diffusion coefficient (Ds) are 10 cm /s in solids and liquids, but these vary widely since surface interaction is involved. Also, Ds is a strong function of temperature and surface concentration. Surface diffusion adds to the overall diffusion but is typically less than one-half of the Knudsen component and so has been mostly neglected in fuel cell analysis. 

Adhesives are polymers that are initially liquid but solidify with time to give a joint between two surfaces [12,13]. The transformation of fluid to solid can be obtained either by evaporation of solvent from the polymer solution (or dispersion) or by curing a liquid polymer into a network. Table 2.3 lists some common adhesives, which have been classified as nonreactive and reactive systems. In the former, the usual composition is a suitable quick-drying solvent consisting of a polymer, tackifiers, and an antioxidant. Tackifiers are generally low-molecular-weight, nonvolatile materials that increase the tackiness of the adhesive. Some tackifiers commonly used are unmodified pine oils, rosin and its derivatives, and hydrocarbon derivatives of petroleum (petroleum resins). Several polymers have their own natural tack (as in natural rubber), in which case additional tackifiers arc not needed.
