Latent heat and physical properties

Since chemisorption must necessarily precede catalysis, the chemical and physical properties of gold ought therefore to help us to determine not only what reactions it can and cannot catalyse, but also in a quantitative sense what these levels of activity are likely to be. At various times catalytic activity has been associated with either geometric structure or electronic constitution or energetic parameters such as latent heat of sublimation, before it was finally appreciated that these and many other properties of... 

Plasticizers and waxy additives can give good initial color and physical property results yet cause the finished product to have poor heat deflection properties that can lead to latent part warpage. Much of this delayed defect phenomenon is associated with crystalline or semicrystalline products that must recrystallize after melting in order to reach their full property potential. Waxes and plasticizers can hinder recrystallization, and the effects can be different in thick sections that cool slower than thin sections. 

During absorption in a packed bed, release of energy at the interface due to latent heat and heat of solution raises the interface temperature above that of the bulk liquid. This changes physical properties, mass-transfer coefficients, and equilibrium concentrations. Because of the possibility of substantial temperature effects, there is the possibility that the solvent evaporates in the warm parts of the tower and recon-... 

Thermal and physical properties of the material to be heated—specific heat, latent heat, melting and boiling points, thermal conductivity, flash point, viscosity, density, and evolution of dissolved gases/vapours generated during heating ... 

The intermolecular interaction energy responsible for the nematic ordering can be estimated from the latent heat of isotropic-nematic phase transition AE 300 cal/mol (= 0.01 eV/molecule (see, for example, G. H. Brown, J. W. Doane, and D. D, Neff, A Review of the Structure and Physical Properties of Liquid Crystals, p. 43, CRC Press, Cleveland, Ohio, 1971). 

Para-xylene (p-xylene) is used as a raw material to make polyester fibers. Billions of pounds are produced every year. It is manufactured by reforming crude oil. p-Xylene must then be separated. In this problem, we consider the final step of the separation process where p-xylene is separated from its isomers, ortho-xylene and meta-xylene. All the isomers have similar physical properties. The latent heats and the boiling and melting points of the pure xylene isomers are reported below. 

Latent heat and vapor physical properties are estimated at 5 mol% vaporization point. 

Physical Properties. Physical properties of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride are summarized in Table 1. Figure 1 shows the vapor pressure and latent heat of vaporization. The specific gravity of the Hquid decreases almost linearly from 1.1 at —40°C to 0.84 at 80°C (4). The specific heat of anhydrous HF is shown in Figure 2 and the heat of solution in Figure 3.
