Specific gravity surface

Physical properties of the three test fuels are presented in Table I. Except for the surface tension of No. 6 fuel oil, which was a typical value, all properties were measured for the specific samples tested. The primary differences between the SRC-II middle distillate and the No. 2 fuel were the higher specific gravity, surface tension, and viscosity of the SRC-II. The No. 6 grade fuel, a residual fuel oil, had a much higher viscosity than either of the distillate fuels. Both the SRC-II and No. 2 fuel oil were sprayed at a nominal temperature of 80°F to simulate usage in a non-preheat combustion system. The No. 6 fuel oil was sprayed at temperatures ranging from 150° to 240°F in order to assess spray formation processes and spray quality over a broad range of viscosities. 

Chemical composition, particle size, particle shape, specific gravity, surface area, refractive index, brightness, absorptivity, and wettability are the most important criteria used in selecting a filler for the paper industry. For further reading, a recent monograph on the use of fillers in paper industry is an excellent source of practical information. ... 

Composites can be created ia which the core optimizes desired physical properties such as modulus, whereas the outer layer optimizes surface coasideratioas aot inherent ia the core material. SoHd outer—foam core can provide composites with significant reductions ia specific gravity (0.7).

Mercuric Oxide. Mercuric oxide[21908-53-2] HgO, is a red or yellow water-insoluble powder, rhombic in shape when viewed microscopically. The color and shade depend on particle size. The finer particles (< 5 -lm) appear yellow the coarser particles (> 8 -lm) appear redder. The product is soluble in most acids, organic and inorganic, but the yellow form, which has greater surface area, is more reactive and dissolves more readily. Mercuric oxide decomposes at 332°C and has a high (11.1) specific gravity. 

Although the size separation/classification methods are adequate in some cases to produce a final saleable mineral product, in a vast majority of cases these produce Httle separation of valuable minerals from gangue. Minerals can be separated from one another based on both physical and chemical properties (Fig. 8). Physical properties utilized in concentration include specific gravity, magnetic susceptibility, electrical conductivity, color, surface reflectance, and radioactivity level. Among the chemical properties, those of particle surfaces have been exploited in physico-chemical concentration methods such as flotation and flocculation. The main objective of concentration is to separate the valuable minerals into a small, concentrated mass which can be treated further to produce final mineral products. In some cases, these methods also produce a saleable product, especially in the case of industrial minerals. 

Strontium hydroxide, Sr(OH)2, resembles slaked lime but is more soluble in water (21.83 g per 100 g of water at 100°C). It is a white dehquescent sohd with a specific gravity of 3.62 and a melting point of 375°C. Strontium soaps are made by combining strontium hydroxide with soap stocks, eg, lard, tallow, or peanut oil. The strontium soaps are used to make strontium greases, which are lubricants that adhere to metallic surfaces at high loads and are water-resistant, chemically and physically stable, and resistant to thermal breakdown over a wide temperature range (11). 

Most surface waters contain varying amounts of suspended solids, including silt, clay, bacteria, and vimses and it is necessary to remove these before to distribution to the domestic or industrial consumer. Suspended soHds not only affect the acceptabiUty of the water but also interfere with disinfection. The principal treatment processes are sedimentation (qv) and filtration (qv). Sedimentation alone is rarely adequate for the clarification of turbid waters and is of htde or no value for the removal of such very fine particles as clay, bacteria, etc. Table 1 shows the effect of particle size on the sedimentation rate of a soHd having a specific gravity of 2.65 in water at 20°C. 

As an example, consider heavy fuel oil (CH15, specific gravity, 0.95) atomized to a surface mean particle diameter of d, burned with 20 percent excess air to produce coke-residue particles having the original drop diameter and suspended in combustion products at 1204°C (2200°F). The flame emissivity due to the particles along a path of L m will be, with d in micrometers. 

Other requirements. These could include electrical insulation properties, including resistance to tracking and arcing, transparency, frictional properties, surface finish, scuff resistance and specific gravity.

The specific gravities of oils and alcohols are about 0.8, of water 1.0, and of mercury 13,h. Alcohol has a low surface tension however, it tends to absorb water and evaporate, and its density varies considerably with temperature. 

For stocks with a flash point below 1(X)F. the outbreathing requirement has been assumed to be equal to the inbreathing requirement to allow for vaporization at the liquid surface and for the higher specific gravity of the tank vapors.

Sand. Ottawa sand has a low specific gravity of about 2.63. But since no additional water is required when using this additive, it is possible to use sand to increase the cement slurry specific weight. The sand has little effect on the pumpability of the cement slurry. When set the cement will form a very hard surface. Sand used as an additive can be used to increase the specific weight of a cement slurry to as high as 18 Ib/gal.
