Comparing this value with the a) and b) point results ot Example 7, we discover that the line of constant enthalpy lies between the determination line of wet bulb temperature and the adiabatic humidification line. The nearer the Lewis number is to 1, the nearer the wet bulb temperature is to the adiabatic humidification temperature.

We begin by considering a reactive system with M finite-sized catalytic spherical particles C, and a total of N = NA + NB A and B point particles in a volume V [17]. The C particles catalyze the interconversion between A and B particles according to the reactions... 

D line represents the variation in the melting point with pressure. The A to B line represents the variation of the vapor pressure of a liquid with pressure. This B point shown on this phase diagram is the critical point of the substance, the point beyond which the gas and liquid phases are indistinguishable from each other. At or beyond this critical point, no matter how much pressure is applied, it is not possible to condense the gas into a liquid. Point A is the triple point of the substance, the combination of temperature and pressure at which all three states of matter can exist.

Lyotropic liquid crystals are those which occur on the addition of a solvent to a substance, or on increasing the substance concentration in the solvent. There are examples of cellulose derivatives that are both thennotropic and lyotropic. However, cellulose and most cellulose derivatives form lyotropic mesophases. They usually have a characteristic "critical concentration" or "A point" where the molecules first begin to orient into the anisotropic phase which coexists with the isotropic phase. The anisotropic or ordered phase increases relative to the isotropic phase as the solution concentration is increased in a concentration range termed the "biphasic region." At the "B point" concentration the solution is wholly anisotropic. These A and B points are usually determined optically.

In Fig. 7-9.1 the symmetry elements for the B point group are shown (see also Fig. 3-6,1) as well as our choice of xt y and axes (this choice establishes the orientation of the p- and d-orbitals). In Table 7-9.1 the corresponding character table is given in full. 

As an example of an AB molecule, we will discuss the planar symmetrical molecule BC1, which belongs to the B point group. First we assign to each chlorine atom a pair of mutually perpendicular... 

The six necessary hybrid orbitals on the boron atom can also be assigned vectors. If w-bonds are to be formed, these vectors must have the same orientation as the six vectors on the chlorine atoms. If we followed in the footsteps of 11-3, we would now construct the reducible representation Th7b from a consideration of how the six vectors on the boron atom change under the symmetry operations of the B point group. However, it is clear that since the six vectors on the chlorine atoms match the six on the boron atom, exactly the same representation rhyb can be found by using these vectors instead. Since it is less confusing to have three pairs of vectors separated in space than six originating from one point, we will take this latter approach. 

The z axis is the internuclear axis, and the z axes on atoms a and b point toward each other. Without using the full group-theory formalism, we can write down by inspection the following symmetry-adapted orbitals, which... 

Point 1 on Figure 2-25 represents pure component B. Point 2 represents a mixture of 30 mole" percent component A and 70 mole percent component C. Point 3 represents a mixture which consists of 50 mole percent A, 30 mole percent B, and 20 mole percent C. The composition of the mixture represented by point 3 is best determined by imagining three lines from point 3 perpendicular to the sides of the triangular diagram. The length of line 43 represents the composition of component A in the mixture. The length of line 53 represents the composition of component B, and the length of line 63 represents the composition of component C. 

Kuge and Yoshikawa (3) related a change in the gas chromatographic peak shape to the beginning of multilayer adsorption on the surface of the solid. For small adsorbate volumes, the peak shape is symmetrical. As the adsorbate volume is increased, a sharp front, diffuse tail, and a defect at the front of the peak top is observed (Figure 11.2). It then acquires a diffuse front and sharp tail. This point corresponds to the B point of the BET Type II adsorption isotherm at which the relative surface area may be calculated. 

By a change of temperature or pressure, it is often possible to cross the phase limits of a homogeneous crystal. It supersaturates with respect to one or several of its components, and the supersaturated components eventually precipitate. This is an additive reaction. It occurs either externally at the surfaces, or in the crystal bulk by nucleation and growth. Reactions of this kind from initially homogeneous and supersaturated solid solutions will be discussed in Chapter 12 on phase transformations. Internal reactions in the sense of the present chapter occur after crystal A has been brought into contact with reactant B, and the product AB forms isothermally in the interior of A or B. Point defect fluxes are responsible for the matter transport during internal reactions, and local equilibrium is often established throughout.

In 1946 Ya.B. pointed out (14) a possible case where the opposite situation occurs. This happens near the critical point where the differences between a vapor and a fluid are obliterated. In a substance under near-critical conditions rarefaction should propagate as a discontinuity, and compression— as a continuous process. Many years later, at the end of the seventies, this prediction of Ya.B. was confirmed experimentally in Novosibirsk by a group working under Academician S. S. Kutateladze. At present, only two cases are known when rarefaction shocks occur in solid bodies in the region of polymorphous transformations (this had been observed long ago), and near the critical point, as Ya.B. predicted.
