It was shown that in heat transfer with phase change it is necessary to understand the phase-change phenomenon on the molecular level to model effectively the mass- and heat-transfer processes. An analytical expression for the rates of vaporization and condensation was developed. It was also shown that the assumption of a saturated vapor phase greatly simplified the calculation without a significant loss in accuracy for given examples. However, experimental verification of this simplified assumption is currently lacking. 

We now will develop our stoichiometric table for reactions with phase change. When one of the products condenses during the course of a reaction, calculation of the change in volume or volumetric flow rate must be undertaken in a slightly different manner. Consider another isothermal reaction ...

Order parameters are routinely encountered in the treatment of phenomena dealing with phase changes or critical phenomena, and will be discussed further in Section 7.5. Here we develop a somewhat specialized approach. 

Passive systems with phase changes can develop considerable driving forces. The pressure differences often are in the range from 1 kPa-100 kPa. Examples are the passive containment... 

When multiple development is performed on the same monolayer stationary phase, the development distance and the total solvent strength and selectivity values (16) of the mobile phase (17) can easily be changed at any stage of the development sequence to optimize the separation. These techniques are typically fully off-line modes, because the plates must be dried between consecutive development steps only after this can the next development, with the same or different development distances and/or mobile phases, be started. This method involves the following stages ... 

Section 1.9 showed that as long as an oxide layer remains adherent and continuous it can be expected to increase in thickness in conformity with one of a number of possible rate laws. This qualification of continuity is most important the direct access of oxidant to the metal by way of pores and cracks inevitably means an increase in oxidation rate, and often in a manner in which the lower rate is not regained. In common with other phase change reactions the volume of the solid phase alters during the course of oxidation it is the manner in which this change is accommodated which frequently determines whether the oxide will develop discontinuities. It is found, for example, that oxidation behaviour depends not only on time and temperature but also on specimen geometry, oxide strength and plasticity or even on specific environmental interactions such as volatilisation or dissolution. 

Procedures used vary from trial-and-error methods to more sophisticated approaches including the window diagram, the simplex method, the PRISMA method, chemometric method, or computer-assisted methods. Many of these procedures were originally developed for HPLC and were apphed to TLC with appropriate changes in methodology. In the majority of the procedures, a set of solvents is selected as components of the mobile phase and one of the mentioned procedures is then used to optimize their relative proportions. Chemometric methods make possible to choose the minimum number of chromatographic systems needed to perform the best separation. 

Abstract. This section is an introduction into materials that can be used as Phase Change Materials (PCM) for heat and cold storage and their basic properties. At the beginning, the basic thermodynamics of the use of PCM and general physical and technical requirements on perspective materials are presented. Following that, the most important classes of materials that have been investigated and typical examples of materials to be used as PCM are discussed. These materials usually do not fulfill all requirements. Therefore, solution strategies and ways to improve certain material properties have been developed. The section closes with an up to date market review of commercial PCM, PCM composites and encapsulation methods. 

A first selection of materials is usually done with respect to phase change temperature, enthalpy and reproducible phase change. The state of the art with respect to that selection is discussed in the following section Classes of materials . Usually a material is not able to fulfill all the above mentioned requirements. For example the thermal conductivity is generally small and an encapsulation is always needed. Therefore strategies and approaches have been developed to cope with these problems. These are discussed after the section Classes of materials in Approaches to solve material problems .
