Free expansion curve

In Figure 8.7, the curves determine the restriction downstream pressure at which hydrate blockages will form for a given upstream pressure and temperature. Gas A expands from 2000 psia and 110°F until it strikes the hydrate formation curve at 700 psia (and 54°F), so 700 psia represents the limit to hydrate-free expansion. Gas B expands from 1800 psia (120°F) to intersect the hydrate formation curve at a limiting pressure of 270 psia (39°F). In expansion processes while the upstream temperature and pressure are known, the discharge temperature is almost never known, but the discharge pressure is normally set by a downstream vessel or pressure drop. 

Laminate hygrothermal analysis predicts, based on the CLT, the hygrothermal expansion of a laminate, i.e. the thermal expansion corresponding to the unit temperature change and the moisture expansion corresponding to the reference moisture content change. For unsymmetric laminates, two sets of expansion coefficients are typically derived one for a laminate which is free to curve, another for a laminate with suppressed curvature. The features described above for a laminate stiffness analysis also apply to the hygrothermal analysis. 

It should be noted that in deriving Eqs. (18 and 19), only the first term of the series expansion of the free-energy curves has been taken into account (i.e. the reactants and products parabolas have been considered linear at the crossing point) and therefore a results independent of the electrode potential this is not the case when microscopic theories like the Marcus theory based on a parabolic description are introduced. Thus, a limitation of the But-ler-Vohner current-potential relation is...

A log-log plot of some of the important reaction product external variables calculated using a modeling program to represent the free expansion of those products from a pellet 3mm diameter and 3 mm high. The products have been given an equation of state somewhat characteristic of PETN. The particular mathematical cell considered here is at the cylinder end opposite to the detonation point. In the legend d stands for density, p for pressure, T for gas temperature, MFP for the mean free path for collisions in the gas, TBIM is the inverse of the rate for bimolecular exchange reactions, TUNI is the inverse of the rate for unimolecular decomposition.

Figure 8.1 provides an example of a TMA scan on a high-Tg, filled FR-4 material designed to be compatible with most lead-free assembly applications.The Tg is determined by extrapolating the linear portions of the expansion curve to the point where they intersect. In this case, a Tg of... 

A schematic curve of a TMA run is shown in Fig. 4.1. The glass transition temperature Tg, is defined as the point of intersection of the glassy and rubbery (or melt) expansivities. The change in the slope of the expansion curves below and above Tg is related to the expansion of free volume. The actual volume of the molecules (hard-core volume) has similar values below and above Tg, but the free volume increases starting at Tg. 

The oxygen-transport-free polarization curve in Equation 4.141 can be considered as the zero-order term in the expansion of the solution to the full system of equations (4.53) through (4.55) over the parameter 1 /(s D). The goal of this section will be to find the first-order correction in this series. 

Truncation of this expansion at the fourth-order term does not lead to a loss of generality in the essential physics describing a phase transition. Typical curves according to the power series Eq. (1.13) are plotted in Fig. 1.6. Above the transition temperature, T, the free energy curve has a single minimum at = 0. However, below T, minima in free energy occur for non-zero values of f, as expected (Fig. 1.6). These curves are obtained with B(T) positive above the transition, but negative below the transition. At the transition B(T = T ) must vanish, and the simplest function to satisfy these conditions is... 

The energy perturbation given in Equation 2.10 technically applies only at the boundary, ki=k2. As one moves away from the boundary, the magnitude of this interaction decreases quadratically with k. This is the same behavior as at the bottom of the free-electron curve. Another way to view this behavior is that near any extremum (maximum or minimum) of an arbitrary function, a power-law expansion of that function is always quadratic. Thus, near enough to any local maximum or minimum of an E(k) diagram, the behavior of an electron will always appear free-electron like. This provides a partial, if circular, justification of the approximations made above. A rigorous justification is provided by quantum mechanical perturbation theory and may be found in most quantum mechanics texts. 

Since the linear and related expansion formulas depend on fits to regions of the curve that are statistically less and less reliable, it makes sense to find a measure for extrapolation that depends on the relative accuracy of the relative free energy estimate for all points along the curve. The cumulative integral extrapolation method is one approach to this idea.

Addition of aluminum enhances most underwater expin effects. In conventional CHNO expls, A1 reacts to form A1203 with the liberation of a large amount of heat. This reaction is relatively slow and is rarely complete during the detonation regime in aluminized expls fired in air or under moderate confinement. In free water, however, sufficient confinement is available to enable the reaction to occur before appreciable expansion of the other detonation products. The enhancement of expin effects by A1 can be estimated from the curves shown in Fig 10 (from Ref 17). The abscissa of Fig 10 is the gram atom Al/O ratio of the expl compn...

We present a preliminary study on the structural dynamics of photo-excited iodine in methanol. At early time delays after dissociation, 1 - 10 ns, the change in the diffracted intensity AS(q, t) is oscillatory and the high-q part 4 -8 A 1 is assigned to free iodine atoms. At later times, 10-100 ns, expansive motion is seen in the bulk liquid. The expansion is driven by energy released from the recombination of iodine atoms. The AS(q, t) curves between 0.1 and 5 (is coincide with the temperature differential dS/dT for static methanol with a temperature rise of 2.5 K. However, this temperature is five times greater than the temperature deduced from the energy of dissociated atoms at 1 ns. The discrepancy is ascribed to a short-lived state that recombines on the sub-nanosecond time scale.

Equation (3) is the most widely used in analyzing experimental curves, since its form is intuitively clear the rate of the defect accumulation is determined by the fraction of free volume of the crystal not occupied by previously created defects, without taking account of the overlap of the annihilation volumes of similar defects. Evidently it is applicable only in the initial stage of accumulation kinetics at relatively low concentrations of defects, nvo superposition approximation corresponds to the first two terms of expansion (2) in powers of nvo-... 

As an amorphous polymer, lignin undergoes chain segment motion upon heating. This motion, a glass transition, is characteristic of all amorphous polymers, and is indicated by an endothermic shift in the DTA or DSC curves. This glass transition is accompanied by abrupt changes in free volume, heat capacity, and thermal expansion coefficient.
