Expansion effect

ASTM D883 defines a filler as "...a relatively inert material added to a plastic to modify its strength, permanence, working properties, or other quaHties or to lower costs." EiHers (qv) that modify the properties and characteristics of epoxies are employed in epoxy resins for a variety of reasons. Then principal functions are to control viscosity, reduce shrinkage and the coefficient of thermal expansion, effect a cost reduction, and color the epoxy resins. 

Earlier in the chapter, when the compression cycle was described, a portion of the indicator. Path 3-4, was referred to as the expansion portion of the cycle. The gas trapped in the clearance area expands and partly refills the cylinder taking away some of the capacity. The following equation reflects the expansion effect on capacity and is referred to as the theoretical volumetric efficiency Ev,. 

The conjoint action of a tensile stress and a specific corrodent on a material results in stress corrosion cracking (SCC) if the conditions are sufficiently severe. The tensile stress can be the residual stress in a fabricated structure, the hoop stress in a pipe containing fluid at pressures above ambient or in a vessel by virtue of the internal hydraulic pressure created by the weight of its contents. Stresses result from thermal expansion effects, the torsional stresses on a pump or agitator shaft and many more causes.

Unlike the situation in the PFR, there is always a simple relationship between the mean residence time and the reactor space time for a CSTR. Since one normally associates a liquid feed stream with these reactors, volumetric expansion effects are usually negligible (SA = 0). 

Monomer feed concentration = 16 kmoles/m3 Thermal expansion effects may be neglected. 

Douglas and Bischoff (23) have considered the influence of volumetric expansion effects on the yields obtained with dispersion. 

It should be noted, that ESR of electrode, having minimum resistance in dry state may be significantly increased during impregnating it with electrolyte solution (said resistance increase is typical in n-type solid phase composites). It is caused by the expansion effect due to formation of electrolyte films during wetting of the surface of electrode particles. Thus, dry conductivity data may serve only as an initial estimation during optimization of volumetric structure of an EC electrode. 

If the conveying velocity is a critical parameter, then the designer of a pneumatic conveying system should also consider the expansion effect caused by the pressure drop along the conveying line. The resulting increase of the gas velocity can be accounted for by increasing the pipe diameter. 

Pipeline Routing and Bend Design. Direction changes should be kept to an absolute minimum in order to keep the number of bends that are considered to be the major attrition sources as low as possible. This helps also to reduce the conveying line pressure drop and with it the gas expansion effect. 

Here we shall assume that the temperature shift is due to the thermal expansion effect of proteins on the inter chromophore distances among P, Bl, and Bm- For simplicity we shall assume that the temperature dependence of interchromophore interactions are of the dipole-dipole interaction type. In this case, notice that the excitonic energy splitting of P is AE = Ep+ — Ep-,... 

The zincblende (ZB), or sphalerite, structure is named after the mineral (Zn,Fe) S, and is related to the diamond structure in consisting entirely of tetrahedrally-bonded atoms. The sole difference is that, unlike diamond, the atoms each bond to four unlike atoms, with the result that the structure lacks an inversion center. This lack of an inversion center, also characteristic of the wurtzite structure (see below), means that the material may be piezoelectric, which can lead to spurious ringing in the free-induction decay (FID) when the electric fields from the rf coil excite mechanical resonances in the sample. (Such false signals can be identified by their strong temperature dependence due to thermal expansion effects, and by their lack of dependence on magnetic field strength). 

The structure of ice is shown in the diagram. The crystal structure of ice is essentially tetrahedral. When water melts, the hydrogen bonds are progressively broken. The molecules pack closer together and so an initial reduction in volume of the liquid occurs before the usual expansion effect from raising the temperature is observed. Water, therefore, has its maximum density at 4°C. 

Finally, we ignore expansion effects in this chapter thus, we take s = 0 throughout. This means that we may use the terms mean residence time, reactor holding time, space time, and reciprocal space velocity interchangeably. 

The mechanism of the inhibitive action of LiOH proposed by Stark et al. [7] is attributed to the formation of lithium silicate that dissolves at the surface of the aggregate without causing swelling [7], In the presence of KOH and NaOH the gel product incorporates Li ions and the amount of Li in this gel increases with its concentration. The threshold level of Na Li is 1 0.67 to 1 1 molar ratio at which expansion due to alkali-silica reaction is reduced to safe levels. Some workers [22] have found that when LiOH is added to mortar much more lithium is taken up by the cement hydration products than Na or K. This would indicate that small amounts of lithium are not very effective. It can therefore be concluded that a critical amount of lithium is needed to overcome the combined concentrations of KOH and NaOH to eliminate the expansive effect and that the product formed with Li is non-expansive. 

Radiation Expansion of Polymer Microstructure. While preparing the samples for the sol-gel and ESR studies, we unexpectedly discovered that they lengthened when exposed to radiation, even in the absence of a significant applied stress (< 10 p.s.i.g., hereafter referred to as the unstressed state). Typical data showing this radiation expansion effect for the three polymers studied are given in Figures 11 and 12. 

For high molecular weight polymers in good solvents, fo] exceeds fo]0 because of coil expansion under nondraining conditions that is, as more solvent enters the coil domain than would be present under 0 conditions, Equation (92) continues to apply, with R replacing R2gfi. Using Equation (90) to quantify this expansion effect, we obtain...
