Group physical properties, 44

We will assume forced convection in order to calculate dimensionless groups. Physical properties of air must be estimated, and we will use the ambient air temperature to estimate them. The following physical properties can be found in tables or calculated ...

The physical properties of lipids derive directly from their chemical structures and functional groups. Physical properties greatly influence the functions of lipids in foods and the methods required for manipulation and processing. They can also be used to assess the purity or quality of lipid material in reference to known standards or preferred characteristics.

These elements form two groups, often called the alkali (Group I) and alkaline earth (Group II) metals. Some of the physical properties usually associated with metals—hardness, high m.p. and b.p.—are noticeably lacking in these metals, but they all have a metallic appearance and are good electrical conductors. Table 6.1 gives some of the physical properties. 

All Group VI elements form a hydride HjX. With the notable exception of water, they are all poisonous gases with very unpleasant smells. Table 10.2 gives some of their important physical properties. 

The differential material balances contain a large number of physical parameters describing the structure of the porous medium, the physical properties of the gaseous mixture diffusing through it, the kinetics of the chemical reaction and the composition and pressure of the reactant mixture outside the pellet. In such circumstances it Is always valuable to assemble the physical parameters into a smaller number of Independent dimensionless groups, and this Is best done by writing the balance equations themselves in dimensionless form. The relevant equations are (11.20), (11.21), (11.22), (11.23), (11.16) and the expression (11.27) for the effectiveness factor. 

Physical Properties. Glycine is a colourless crystalline solid soluble in water. Owing to the almost equal opposing effects of the amino and the carboxylic groups. its aqueous solution is almost neutral (actually, slightly acidic to phenolphthalein) and glycine is therefore known as a neutral ampholyte. f It exhibits both acidic and basic properties. 

Physical Properties. Colourless crystalline solid, soluble in boiling water, very sparingly soluble in cold water crystallises 2H2O. The strongly acidic — SO3H group suppresses the normal basic properties of the — NHj group the acid therefore dissolves readily in alkalis, but not in dilute mineral acids.

When two different substituents are attached to each carbon atom of the double bond, cis-trans isomers can exist. In the case of c T-2-butene (Fig. 1.11a), both methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond. The other isomer has the methyl groups on opposite sides and is designated as rran5--2-butene (Fig. l.llb). Their physical properties are quite different. Geometric isomerism can also exist in ring systems examples were cited in the previous discussion on conformational isomers. 

Castor oil (qv) contains a predominance of ricinoleic acid which has an unusual stmcture inasmuch as a double bond is present in the 9 position while a hydroxyl group occurs in the 12 position. The biochemical origin of ricinoleic acid [141-22-0] in the castor seed arises from enzymatic hydroxylation of oleoyl-CoA in the presence of molecular oxygen. The unusual stmcture of ricinoleic acid affects the solubiUty and physical properties of castor oil. 

Polarization which can be induced in nonconducting materials by means of an externally appHed electric field is one of the most important parameters in the theory of insulators, which are called dielectrics when their polarizabiUty is under consideration (1). Experimental investigations have shown that these materials can be divided into linear and nonlinear dielectrics in accordance with their behavior in a realizable range of the electric field. The electric polarization PI of linear dielectrics depends linearly on the electric field E, whereas that of nonlinear dielectrics is a nonlinear function of the electric field (2). The polarization values which can be measured in linear (normal) dielectrics upon appHcation of experimentally attainable electric fields are usually small. However, a certain group of nonlinear dielectrics exhibit polarization values which are several orders of magnitude larger than those observed in normal dielectrics (3). Consequentiy, a number of useful physical properties related to the polarization of the materials, such as elastic, thermal, optical, electromechanical, etc, are observed in these groups of nonlinear dielectrics (4). 

Properties. A suimnaiy of the chemical and physical properties of alkah-metal and ammonium fLuoroborates is given in Tables 2 and 3. Chemically these compounds differ from the transition-metal fLuoroborates usually separating in anhydrous form. This group is very soluble in water, except for the K, Rb, and Cs salts which ate only slighdy soluble. Many of the soluble salts crystallize as hydrates. 

Catalysis is usually accompHshed through the use of tertiary amines such as triethylenediamine. Other catalysts such as 2,4,6-/m(/V,/V-dimethylaminomethyl)phenol are used in the presence of high levels of cmde MDI to promote trimerization of the isocyanate and thus form isocyanurate ring stmctures. These groups are more thermally stable than the urethane stmcture and hence are desirable for improved flammabiUty resistance (236). Some urethane content is desirable for improved physical properties such as abrasion resistance. 

Most hafnium compounds have been of slight commercial interest aside from intermediates in the production of hafnium metal. However, hafnium oxide, hafnium carbide, and hafnium nitride are quite refractory and have received considerable study as the most refractory compounds of the Group 4 (IVB) elements. Physical properties of some of the hafnium compounds are shown in Table 4.
