Mixtures of 10 and 20% fluorine ia nitrogen or other inert gases are commercially available ia cylinders and tube trailers from Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. Blends can be safely packaged and stored at high, eg, 13.8 MPa (2000 psi), pressure. Filled with a 20% fluorine blend, tube trailers can contain up to 500 kg of fluorine. Such high pressure mixtures permit larger quantities of fluorine to be safely shipped. 

Mousses pose Httle manufacturing problem, but because they are aerosolized they must be filled with special equipment. The pressure fill technique requites the container to be filled with mousse concentrate, then a valve is crimped on and a vacuum of approximately 2.4 kPa (18 mm Hg) is pulled. The propellants are added through the valve. Another technique, the under-the-cup method, fills the container under pressure with propellant and crimps the valve, all in one step. 

Filling may be conducted at low temperature or high pressure and requires specialized equipment. Low-temperature filling is carried out at a temperature substantially lower than the boiling point of the propellant to allow manipulation at room temperature in an open vessel. Pressure filling is conducted in a sealed system from which the propellant is dispensed at its equilibrium vapor pressure at room temperature through the valve of the container [33]. 

Pressurized metered dose inhalers are still the most frequently used systems and they have proven their value in therapy. However, their application in early phases of biopharmaceuti-cal research and further development of dosage forms seems less convenient, since they require special components including propellants, special containers, metering valves, and controlled filling conditions (pressure-filling or cold-filling). 

The pressure vessel containing the sample cell is connected to the pressure generator with high pressure tubing. An oil reservoir near the top of the apparatus feeds oil to the pressure vessel as required for filling. The pressure vessel has removable caps on the top and bottom for loading the...

Gas pressure inside a container is often measured using an open-end manometer, a simple instrument similar in principle to the mercury barometer. As shown in Figure 9.4, an open-end manometer consists of a U-tube filled with mercury, with one end connected to a gas-filled container and the other end open to the... 

A metal is sealed in a completely inert and pressure-right container. Initially die metal fills half of the container, the balance of die space being filled with an inert gas at a pressure of 1 atm. What changes will occur within die container as the system is heated. The phase diagram of the metal is similar to the that given in Example 5. 

In thermodynamics, the observer is outside the system and properties are measured in the surroundings. For example, pressure is measured by an external observer reading a pressure gauge on the system. Volume can be determined by measuring the dimensions of the system and calculating the volume or, in the case of complex shapes, by using the system to displace a liquid from a filled container. Important thermodynamic properties have low information content (i.e., they can be expressed by relatively few numbers). The details of the shape of a system are usually not important in thermodynamics, except, sometimes, a characteristic of the shape, such as the surface-to-volume ratio, or radii of particles, may also be considered. Information only accessible to an observer within the system, such as the positions and velocities of the molecules, is not considered in thermodynamics. However, in Chapter 5 on statistical mechanics, we will learn how suitable averages of such microscopic properties determine the variables we study in thermodynamics. 

Before filling containers for organoaluminum compounds should be thoroughly dried, purified from impurities, blown and pressurised with inert gas.Organoaluminum compounds should be stored at a temperature below 30 °C and a pressure of 0.03-0.05 MPa the containers must not be subjected to direct sunlight or heat from other sources. 

Metal organic frameworks are the crystalline materials with the lowest density. As an example, MOF-5 possesses a crystal density of only 0.61 gcm [93]. The volumetric hydrogen storage capacity of MOFs, which is referred to the volume of the material, is therefore affected by these low densities. In spite of this, Muller et al. from BASF recently showed the real potential of MOFs for industrial gas storage applications [81]. They showed that a container filled with MOF-5, IRMOF-8 or a porous Cu-based MOF exceeds, at 77 K, the volumetric hydrogen storage capacity (referred to the whole system) of a pressurized empty container filled with hydrogen.
