Low temperature. Low-temperature process (below 0°C) can contain large amounts of fluids kept in the liquid state by pressure and/or low temperature. If for any reason it is not possible to keep them under pressure or keep them cold, then the liquids will begin to vaporize. If this happens, impurities in the fluids are liable to... 

Prepared by the sulphonation of benzene in the liquid state or by passing benzene vapour into concentrated sulphuric acid at 150-180"C. 

Next the properties of each component must be determined at the temperature being considered in the ideal gas state and, if possible, in the saturated liquid state. 

The effect of pressure is neglected. The limits of this model are easy to understand each component must exist in the liquid state for the Cp/ to be known equally important is that the effect of pressure must be negligible which is the case for < 0.8 and P < 1.

The mass or volume heating value represents the quantity of energy released by a unit mass or volume of fuel during the chemical reaction for complete combustion producing CO2 and H2O. The fuel is taken to be, unless mentioned otherwise, at the liquid state and at a reference temperature, generally 25°C. The air and the combustion products are considered to be at this same temperature. 

In the expression for heating value, it is useful to define the physical state of the motor fuel for conventional motor fuels such as gasoline, diesei fuel, and jet fuels, the liquid state is chosen most often as the reference. Nevertheless, if the material is already in its vapor state before entering the combustion system because of mechanical action like atomization or thermal effects such as preheating by exhaust gases, an increase of usefui energy resufts that is not previously taken into consideration. 

If one imagine.s that the fuel is used in the liquid state in the form of droplets —as in the case of fuel injection— the specific energy of the motor fuel (SE) is expressed in kilojoules per kilogram of air utilized, under predetermined conditions of equivalence ratio (stoichiometry for example). The SE is none other than the NHY /r quotient where r represents the previously defined stoichiometric ratio.

As with enthalpies of adsorption, the entropies tend to approach the entropy of condensation as P approaches in further support of the conclusion that the nature of the adsorbate is approaching that of the liquid state. 

Traditionally one categorizes matter by phases such as gases, liquids and solids. Chemistry is usually concerned with matter m the gas and liquid phases, whereas physics is concerned with the solid phase. However, this distinction is not well defined often chemists are concerned with the solid state and reactions between solid-state phases, and physicists often study atoms and molecular systems in the gas phase. The tenn condensed phases usually encompasses both the liquid state and the solid state, but not the gas state. In this section, the emphasis will be placed on the solid state with a brief discussion of liquids. 

Unlike the solid state, the liquid state cannot be characterized by a static description. In a liquid, bonds break and refomi continuously as a fiinction of time. The quantum states in the liquid are similar to those in amorphous solids in the sense that the system is also disordered. The liquid state can be quantified only by considering some ensemble averaging and using statistical measures. For example, consider an elemental liquid. Just as for amorphous solids, one can ask what is the distribution of atoms at a given distance from a reference atom on average, i.e. the radial distribution function or the pair correlation function can also be defined for a liquid. In scattering experiments on liquids, a structure factor is measured. The radial distribution fiinction, g r), is related to the stnicture factor, S q), by... 

Typical results for a semiconducting liquid are illustrated in figure Al.3.29 where the experunental pair correlation and structure factors for silicon are presented. The radial distribution function shows a sharp first peak followed by oscillations. The structure in the radial distribution fiinction reflects some local ordering. The nature and degree of this order depends on the chemical nature of the liquid state. For example, semiconductor liquids are especially interesting in this sense as they are believed to retain covalent bonding characteristics even in the melt.

The principal dilTerence from liquid-state NMR is that the interactions which are averaged by molecular motion on the NMR timescale in liquids lead, because of their anisotropic nature, to much wider lines in solids. Extra infonnation is, in principle, available but is often masked by the lower resolution. Thus, many of the teclmiques developed for liquid-state NMR are not currently feasible in the solid state. Furthemiore, the increased linewidth and the methods used to achieve high resolution put more demands on the spectrometer. Nevertheless, the field of solid-state NMR is advancing rapidly, with a steady stream of new experiments forthcoming. 

This chapter simnnarizes the interactions that affect the spectrum, describes the type of equipment needed and the perfomiance that is required for specific experiments. As well as describing the basic experiments used in solid-state NMR, and the more advanced teclmiques used for distance measurement and correlation, some emphasis is given to nuclei with spin / > dsince the study of these is most different from liquid-state NMR.

In the theory of the liquid state, the hard-sphere model plays an important role. For hard spheres, the pair interaction potential V r) = qo for r < J, where d is the particle diameter, whereas V(r) = 0 for r s d. The stmcture of a simple fluid, such as argon, is very similar to that of a hard-sphere fluid. Hard-sphere atoms do, of course, not exist. Certain model colloids, however, come very close to hard-sphere behaviour. These systems have been studied in much detail and some results will be quoted below.
