Freezing dynamics

Thus, 8 Kb NMR studies on Rb0.4s(ND4)o.55D2P04 reveal that the deuteron "pseudo-spin-glass" transition is just not a simple kinetic slowing down process, but due to a gradual condensation of randomly polarized clusters. The results provide novel information on the temperature dependence and distribution of local RFs and their dynamics. Further, the NMR data suggest that the "pseudospin O-D-O deuteron intra-bond motion determines freezing dynamics.

If mechanisms existed in our electronic notebook space to freeze dynamic objects into static ones when appropriate, and to archive ephemeral objects before they were demounted from the system, then a growing electronic library that maintains linkage continuity would be created. 

Freeze-Resistant Polymers. Chloroprene homopolymers made at conventional polymerization temperatures of 40—50°C are not sufftcientiy freeze resistant for some appHcations. In particular, automotive parts such as belts, boots, and air springs are used in dynamic appHcations and need... 

Dispersion Characteristics The chief characteristics of gas-in-liquid dispersions, like those of hquid-in-gas suspensions, are heterogeneity and instabihty. The composition and structure of an unstable dispersion must be obsei ved in the dynamic situation by looking at the mixture, with or without the aid of optical devices, or by photographing it, preferably in nominal steady state photographs usually are required for quantitative treatment. Stable foams may be examined after the fact of their creation if they are sufficiently robust or if an immobilizing technique such as freezing is employed [Chang et al., Ind. Eng Chem., 48, 2035 (1956)]. 

The molecular structure and dynamics of the ice/water interface are of interest, for example, in understanding phenomena like frost heaving, freezing (and the inhibition of freezing) in biological systems, and the growth mechanisms of ice crystals. In a series of simulations, Haymet and coworkers (see Refs. 193-196) studied the density variation, the orientational order and the layer-dependence of the mobilitity of water molecules. The ice/water basal interface is found to be a relatively broad interface of about... 

A triple point is a point where three phase boundaries meet on a phase diagram. For water, the triple point for the solid, liquid, and vapor phases lies at 4.6 Torr and 0.01°C (see Fig. 8.6). At this triple point, all three phases (ice, liquid, and vapor) coexist in mutual dynamic equilibrium solid is in equilibrium with liquid, liquid with vapor, and vapor with solid. The location of a triple point of a substance is a fixed property of that substance and cannot be changed by changing the conditions. The triple point of water is used to define the size of the kelvin by definition, there are exactly 273.16 kelvins between absolute zero and the triple point of water. Because the normal freezing point of water is found to lie 0.01 K below the triple point, 0°C corresponds to 273.15 K. 

Molecular views of the rates of solid-liquid phase transfer of a pure liquid and a solution at the normal freezing point. The addition of solute does not change the rate of escape from the solid, but it decreases the rate at which the solid captures solvent molecules from the solution. This disrupts the dynamic equilibrium between escape and capture. 

The addition of solutes decreases the freezing point of a solution. In the solution, solvent molecules collide with crystals of solid solvent less frequently than they do in the pure solvent. Consequently, fewer molecules are captured by the solid phase than escape from the solid to the liquid. Cooling the solution restores dynamic equilibrium because it simultaneously reduces the number of molecules that have sufficient energy to break away from the surface of the solid and increases the number of molecules in the liquid with small enough kinetic energy to be captured by the solid. 

The effect of a solute on the boiling point of a solution is opposite to its effect on the freezing point. A nonvolatile solute inereases the boiling point of a solution. This is because the solute blocks some of the solvent molecules from reaching the surface of the solution and thus decreases the rate of escape into the gas phase. To get back to dynamic equilibrium, the solution must be heated so that more molecules acquire sufficient energy to escape from the liquid phase. 

The 15N spectral peaks of fully hydrated [15N]Gly-bR, obtained via cross-polarization, are suppressed at 293 K due to interference with the proton decoupling frequency, and also because of short values of T2 in the loops.208 The motion of the TM a-helices in bR is strongly affected by the freezing of excess water at low temperatures. It is shown that motions in the 10-j-is correlation regime may be functionally important for the photocycle of bR, and protein-lipid interactions are motionally coupled in this dynamic regime. 

Flow rate and extraction time. Dynamic techniques for the extraction of carotenoids with SC-CO2 use flow rates that vary from 0.5 to 15 mL/min (measured at extraction temperature and pressure) with different effects depending on the matrix (Rozzi and others 2002 Subra and others 1998 Saldana and others 2006). Subra and others (1998) extracted (3-carotene from 1 to 2.5 g freeze-dried carrots and studied the effect of flow rates (0.4 and 1.2 liter/min) they obtained higher yields of (3-carotene at a flow rate of 1.2 liter/min. Sun and Temelli (2006) also evaluated the effect of flow rate (0.5 and 1.0 liter/min) on the extraction of (3-carotene with SC-CO2 + canola oil. The total carotenoids yield increased with flow rate, ranging from 934.8 to 1,973.6 pg/g dry carrot at C02 flow rates from 0.5 to 2 liter/min (measured at STP), respectively (Sun and Temelli, 2006). However, the lycopene yield decreased from 38.8% to 8% as flow rate was increased from 2.5 to 15 mL/min (measured at extraction temperature and pressure) (Rozzi and others 2002).
