Water isotherm

One application that has been commercialized is the so-called isothermal water bottle especially developed for cycling, but that could be used by any other sporting person. It is a double wall bottle, with ALCAL being the PCM. The bottle has capacity for about 0.5 1, and it has to be held in the refrigerator for the PCM to solidify and then the bottle will keep the beverage cold.

The water distribution within a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) has been modeled at various levels of sophistication by several groups. Verbrugge and coworkers [83-85] have carried out extensive modeling of transport properties in immersed perfluorosulfonate ionomers based on dilute-solution theory. Fales et al. [109] reported an isothermal water map based on hydraulic permeability and electro-osmotic drag data. Though the model was relatively simple, some broad conclusions concerning membrane humidification conditions were reached. Fuller and Newman [104] applied concentrated-solution theory and employed limited earlier literature data on transport properties to produce a general description of water transport in fuel cell membranes. The last contribution emphasizes water distribution within the membrane. Boundary values were set rather arbitrarily.

Consider what happens when a beaker of pure isothermal water is placed on a hot plate. The water near the bottom rises in temperature and a temperature gradient is set up. As a result heat flows from the bottom of the beaker, producing...

It is well known that water moves as both liquid and vapor in unsaturated porous medium under thermal gradient. The aqueous species is transferred only through liquid phase, so we have to distinguish liquid flux from water flux. Here we divide water flux q into liquid flux qi and vapor flux q,. using the isothermal water diffusivity Da and thermal water diffusivity Dr as follows.

Combined measurements of the gas pressure and the (real part of the) dielectric capacitance at v = 10 MHz of a capacitor fiUed with MSNal3X (UOP) inside a commercially operating VSA-process for air separation (Mahler AG). Changes in the capacitance are displaced by 4 s against those of the air pressure. This is caused by (non-isothermal) water ad- and desorption on the zeolite [6.15].

A three-electrode system with a platinum working (H), a platinum auxiliary (K) and a reference saturated calomel electrode (I was placed in a U-type compartment (M) in an isothermal water bath (E). Two platinum wires jointing with the working and auxiliary electrodes, respectively, straight reached to electrolyte outside and connected to two copper wires which linked with the electrochemical workstation (B). The reference electrode was used to track the change in potential of electrode (H). A thermo-sensitive resistor (L)...

Micro-Brownian motion of chain molecules occurs at the glass transition temperature and causes a drastic decrease in the storage modulus along with a peak in the loss modulus and tan S as described in the preceding section. In the case of hydrophilic polymers, however, micro-Brownian motion can also occur during isothermal water sorption. 

Non-isothermal water transport in AP-20 porous partition thus appears to be of a diffusive type. Porous structure and dimensions should enable us to specify the importance of membrane matrix influence on such a transport mechanism.
