Polar additive effects

The performance of soluble oils is made possible not only by their high specific heat and thermal conductivity but by their low viscosity, which permits good penetration into the very fine clearances around the cutting zone. Consequently, these fluids are used mainly where cooling is the primary requirement. Lubricating properties can be improved by polar additives, which are agents that enhance the oiliness or anti-friction characteristics. Further improvements can be effected by EP (extreme-pressure) additives, which are usually compounds of sulfur or chlorine. 

Fig. 39—Effect of polar additives on contact ratio, combined surface roughness 17 nm, maximum Hertz pressure 0.292 GPa. (a) Hexadecane with polar additive, (b) Mineral oil with polar additive.

When the polar additive nonylic acid was added into hexade-cane liquid, the contact ratio becomes much smaller than that of pure hexadecane, which is shown in Fig. 39. For hexa-decane liquid, the critical speed to reach zero contact ratio is 50 mm/s, which is much higher than that of mineral oil 13604 because of its much lower viscosity. Flowever, when nonylic acid was added into the hexadecane liquid, the critical speed decreased from more than 50 mm/s to 38 mm/s. The same phenomenon can be seen in Fig. 39(h) which shows the comparison of oil 13604 and that added with 1.8 %wt. nonylic acid. The addition of polar additive reduces the contact ratio, too, but its effect is not as strong as that in hexadecane liquid because the oil 13604 has a much larger viscosity. Therefore, it can be concluded that the addition of polar additives will reduce the contact ratio because the polar additives are easy to form a thick boundary layer, which can separate asperities of the two rubbing surfaces. 

Recently, an electrorheological effect, i.e., an increase in the viscosity and dynamic shear moduli of lecithin/n-decane solutions in the presence of small amounts of polar additives (water or glycerol) when an external electric field is applied to the system, has been observed [65]. 

The trends of behavior described above are found in solutions containing an excess of foreign electrolyte, which by definition is not involved in the electrode reaction. Without this excess of foreign electrolyte, additional effects arise that are most distinct in binary solutions. An appreciable diffusion potential q) arises in the diffusion layer because of the gradient of overall electrolyte concentration that is present there. Moreover, the conductivity of the solution will decrease and an additional ohmic potential drop will arise when an electrolyte ion is the reactant and the overall concentration decreases. Both of these potential differences are associated with the diffusion layer in the solution, and strictly speaking, are not a part of electrode polarization. But in polarization measurements, the potential of the electrode usually is defined relative to a point in the solution which, although not far from the electrode, is outside the diffusion layer. Hence, in addition to the true polarization AE, the overall potential drop across the diffusion layer, 9 = 9 + 9ohm is included in the measured value of polarization, AE. ... 

Where the positive charge on the atom adjacent to the nucleus is real rather than formal, i.e. NR3 rather than N02, there is evidence that its effect on o complex stability is exerted through a field effect (cf. p. 22) operating through space, in addition to any polar (inductive) effect operating through the bonds. The deactivating effect of Y on the nucleus declines, i.e. the overall rate of substitution increases, in the approximate order ... 

Additional effect of diagonal dynamic disorder. The variations of the electron densities near the centers A and B due to polarization fluctuations and local vibrations lead to changes in the interaction of the electron with the medium and, hence, to changes in the shape of the potential energy surfaces Ut and Uf as compared... 

To take into account the additional effect of diagonal dynamic disorder in the improved Condon approximation it was suggested in Ref. 16 that fluctuations of the polarization of the type... 

Specific separation effects can be understood from the multicomponent solubility parameter theory. Specific effects for nonpolar compounds are predictable with perfluorinated and graphitized carbon black stationary phases. Specific selectivity for polar compounds in reversed-phase HPLC can be realized with polar additives to the mobile phase. 

The effects of the non-polar additives benzene and cyclohexane were compared [69] by studying the effect (at -78.5°) of increasing concentrations of these compounds on the conductivity of solutions of A1C13 and of EtOHAlCl3 in ethyl chloride, and on the DP of the polyisobutenes formed in these solutions. 

This enhanced reactivity of fluoromethyl cyanide is undoubtedly due to the inductive effect of the fluorine atom which produces an electron deficit on the carbon atom linked to the nitrogen, and presumably increases still further the polarity of the carbon-nitrogen bond, so that the electron displacements can be pictured as (IX). The increased polarity of the carbon-nitrogen bond will obviously facilitate polar addition of hydrogen chloride and alcohols (or phenols).

A further study of the aggregation state of PhLi in etheral solvents has resolved signals for the ipso carbon which firmly establish the tetramer and dimer structures in diethylether, and the dimer and monomer structures in THF. The effects of polar additives such as THF, DME, dioxolane, 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran, TMEDA, PMDTA, HMTTA, HMPA, DMPU, and 12-crown-6 to solutions of PhLi in diethylether and/or THE have been studied by low-temperature multinuclear techniques. 

A striking difference between alkynes and iminoboranes appears to be their kinetic stability. As was pointed out in Section II, iminoboranes are metastable, in general, at temperatures far below room temperature. Alkynes are also metastable, but their stabilization requires either high temperature or effective catalysts. We assume the polarity of the B—N bond to be a chief reason for these differences. This idea is supported by the observation that strongly polar alkynes (e.g., FC=CH, FC=CfBu) do oligomerize or polymerize at room temperature quite rapidly (25). Polar additions will generally be the predominant reaction for iminoboranes (Sections V,VI). 

The response to hydrocarbons can be explained by the dissociated hydrogen atoms forming a polarized layer at the insulator surface. However, an observed response to carbon monoxide cannot be explained so readily. A careful investigation has been carried out into the response to CO at 600°C by Nakagomi et al. [20]. It was observed that the response to hydrogen and CO showed an additive effect. It was also observed that the gas response to both CO and H was considerably lowered by the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere. Nakagomi suggests three possibilities for the CO response. 

Problems encountered with filtration ate that membrane fouhng can occur, which causes a decline in flux with time under constant operating conditions. Furthermore, concentration polarization, the effect that the increased concentration of components on the membrane surface reduces the flux due to the additional hydrodynamic resistance, is observed. This effect can be minimized in cross-flow filtration, by applying high flux rates across the membrane surface (Wang et al, 1979 Lee, 1989).
