Density values are given at room temperature unless otherwise indicated by a superscript figure indicating a temperature in °C. Thus, 2.48715 indicates a density of 2.487 for the named substance at 15 °C. For gases density values are given in grams per liter (g L 1). 

The marine environment is, to a great extent, defined by the physical and chemical characteristics of ocean water. These characteristics and the limits to which they extend are very important in determining what kinds of organisms can live in a region. Both chemical and physical factors, which include salinity, levels of dissolved gases, density, and temperature, are more extreme in shallow waters than in other parts of the ocean.

Regnault s later research was almost exclusively in physics the specific heats of solids and gases, densities and compressibilities of gases, properties of steam, etc., and his results in this field are very accurate. He became professor of physics in the College de France and director of the porcelain factory at Sevres (1854). In the war of 1870 his son was killed in battle and his laboratory at Sevres was deliberately wrecked and his papers destroyed by the Prussian army. His chemical publications are on Dutch liquid, etc., the aldehydene theory (see p. 355), the identity of equisitic and maleic acids, the action of steam on heated metals and sulphides, sulphonaphthalic acid, and the action of sulphur trioxide on organic substances,methyl sulphate, mineral combustibles, alkaloids, diallage, potassium and lithium micas, the action of chlorine on Dutch liquid, sulphuryl chloride and sulphamide, chlorides of carbon, determination of carbon in cast iron and steel, action of chlorine on ethers, sulphuryl chloride, report on the Marsh test, respiration (with... 

The volume of a given mass of substance varies with temperature, so the density is a function of temperature. This variation is relatively small for solids, greater for liquids, and very high for gases. Densities of gases vary a great deal with pressure, as well. The temperature-dependent variation of density is an important property of water, and results in stratification of bodies of water, which greatly affects the environmental chemistry that occurs in lakes and reservoirs. The density of liquid water has a maximum value of 1.0000 g/mL at 4°C, is 0.9998 g/mL at 0°C, and is 0.9970 g/mL at 25°C. The combined temperature/ pressure relationship for the density of air causes air to become stratified into layers, particularly the troposphere near the surface and the stratosphere from about 13 to 50 km altitude. 

This review contains critically evaluated values of the vapor pressure, heat capacity, enthalpies of transition, entropies, thermodynamic functions for the real and ideal gases, densities, refractive indexes, and critical properties for 722 alcohols in the carbon range Cj to Cjo- This comprehensive review is 420 pages long and lists 2036 references. 

For liquids and gases, density can be found in a straightforward way by measuring independently the mass (using a scale) and the volume (using a pipet or graduated cylinder) of a sample. (Example 1.6 illustrates the process.)...

This relation is easily transformed to express the ideal gas density ... 

Density is the most commonly measured property of a gas, and is obtained experimentally by measuring the specific gravity of the gas (density of the gas relative to air = 1). As pressure increases, so does gas density, but the relationship is non-linear since the dimensionless gas compressibility (z-factor) also varies with pressure. The gas density (pg) can be calculated at any pressure and temperature using the real gas law ... 

Gas density at reservoir conditions is useful for calculation the pressure gradient of the gas when constructing pressure-depth relationships (see Section 5.2.8). 

Typical analysis in the laboratory consists of sample validation, a compositional analysis of the individual and reoombined samples, measurement of oil and gas density and viscosity over a range of temperatures, and determination of the basic PVT parameters Bo, Roand B. ... 

Although the transition to difhision control is satisfactorily described in such an approach, even for these apparently simple elementary reactions the situation in reality appears to be more complex due to the participation of weakly bonding or repulsive electronic states which may become increasingly coupled as the bath gas density increases. These processes manifest tliemselves in iodine atom and bromine atom recombination in some bath gases at high densities where marked deviations from TronnaF behaviour are observed [3, 4]. In particular, it is found that the transition from Lto is significantly broader than... 

In order to probe the importance of van der Waals interactions between reactants and solvent, experiments in the gas-liqnid transition range appear to be mandatory. Time-resolved studies of the density dependence of the cage and clnster dynamics in halogen photodissociation are needed to extend earlier quantum yield studies which clearly demonstrated the importance of van der Waals clnstering at moderate gas densities [37, 111]... 

The ozone fonnation in the atmosphere is induced by radiation and a result of tliree-body collisions of the oxygen atoms with O2 molecules. This process requires a higher gas density and is, therefore, not efficient in the ionosphere. 

Jet Penetration. At the high gas velocities used in commercial practice, there are jets of gas issuing from distributor holes. It is essential that jets not impinge on any internals, otherwise the internals may be quickly eroded. Figure 14 is a graphical correlation used to determine the jet penetration length as a function of gas velocity and gas density. Jets from horizontal and downflow holes are considerably shorter than those that are pointed upward.

Spray Correlations. One of the most important aspects of spray characterization is the development of meaningful correlations between spray parameters and atomizer performance. The parameters can be presented as mathematical expressions that involve Hquid properties, physical dimensions of the atomizer, as well as operating and ambient conditions that are likely to affect the nature of the dispersion. Empirical correlations provide useful information for designing and assessing the performance of atomizers. Dimensional analysis has been widely used to determine nondimensional parameters that are useful in describing sprays. The most common variables affecting spray characteristics include a characteristic dimension of atomizer, d Hquid density, Pjj Hquid dynamic viscosity, ]ljj, surface tension. O pressure, AP Hquid velocity, V gas density, p and gas velocity, V. ... 

Examination of equation 42 shows that T is directly proportional to the average stage holdup of process material. Thus, in conjunction with the fact that hquid densities are on the order of a thousand times larger than gas densities at normal conditions, the reason for the widespread use of gas-phase processes in preference to hquid-phase processes in cascades for achieving difficult separations becomes clear.

Further differences from hydraulic nozzles (controlled by sheet and ligament breakup) are the stronger increase in drop size with increasing surface tension and decreasing gas density.
