Continuous hoi air driers are used to prepare most of the high quality, dried, piece-furm fruits and vegetables produced in the United States. Liquids and pastes arc commonly dried in spray, drum, or feeze dryers. Particulate foods can be dried in batch or continuous air-fluidized beds or freeze dryers. Many agricultural commodities are sun-dried when weather conditions at harvest provide low humidity, warm temperatures, and good air circulation. 

A single substance exists simultaneously in the two states, liquid and solid, case to which applies the theory of the fusion of solids and the congelation of liquids. 

At 373.15 K, the water boils. If the pressure remains constant, so does the temperature as long as the two states (liquid and gas) are present. The energy added is the molar enthalpy of vaporization IsHyap), 40.67 kJ/mol. Mlyap is the difference in enthalpy between liquid and gaseous water at 373.15 K and is defined in the following equation ... 

Both experimental approaches are supposed suitable to a) charade terize the microemulsion in the two different states liquid and solid b) identify the presence of a "free water" fraction in microemulsion systems and the concentration at which the latter becomes detect able c) distinguish between different types of w/o dispersions depending on whether they possess a free water content. 

Liquids and solids are quite a different story. The principal difference between the condensed states (liquids and solids) and the gaseous state is the distance between molecules. In a liquid the molecules are so close together that there is very httle empty space. Thus liquids are much more difficult to compress than gases, and they are also much denser under normal conditions. Molecules in a liquid are held together by one or more types of attractive forces, which will be discussed in the next section. A liquid also has a definite volume, since molecules in a liquid do not break away from the attractive forces. The molecules can, however, move past one another freely, and so a liquid can flow, can be poured, and assumes the shape of its container. 

The combination of HPLC and GC offers two separation mechanisms which can be made entirely orthogonal. The main difficulty in this technique is the fact that the mobile phase in the two systems is in two different physical states (liquid and gas). The problem is exacerbated by the fact that the volume of the vapor is many times greater than the volume of the liquid from which it is formed. 

Matter in a state where atoms collide but are not in a fixed arrangement and assume the shape or their container is in the gaseous state (Meyer, 2005). Gases are the simplest state of matter and are therefore the easiest fuel to discuss. However, gases are elemental to the understanding of how combustion occurs in all states of matter and will be discussed first. Fuels can typically only enter the combustion reaction when they are in a gaseous state liquids and solids must turn into a gas before combustion is possible. 

Each fluid is described by a BWR equation of state whose coefficients are adjusted to obtain simultaneously the vapor pressure, enthalpies of liquid and gas as well as the compressibilities. The compressibility z of any fluid is calculated using the equation below ... 

Once the bubble point is reached (at point B), the first bubble of ethane vapour is released. From point B to C liquid and gas co-exist in the cell, and the pressure is maintained constant as more of the liquid changes to the gaseous state. The system exhibits infinite compressibility until the last drop of liquid is left In the cell (point C), which is the dew point. Below the dew point pressure only gas remains in the cell, and as pressure is reduced below the dew point, the volume increase is determined by the compressibility of the gas. The gas compressibility is much greater than the liquid compressibility, and hence the change of volume for a given reduction in pressure (the... 

One may consider a molecule in the surface region as being in a state intermediate between that in the vapor phase and that in the liquid. Skapski [11] has made the following simplified analysis. Considering only nearest-neighbor interactions, if n, and denote the number of nearest neighbors in the interior of the liquid and the surface region, respectively, then, per molecule... 

The integral A/, while expressible in terms of surface free energy differences, is defined independently of such individual quantities. A contact angle situation may thus be viewed as a consequence of the ability of two states to coexist bulk liquid and thin film. 

Numerous types of equations of state apply to solids, liquids, and gases a few of these are considered here. 

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. 

The previous seetion showed how the van der Waals equation was extended to binary mixtures. However, imieh of the early theoretieal treatment of binary mixtures ignored equation-of-state eflfeets (i.e. the eontributions of the expansion beyond the volume of a elose-paeked liquid) and implieitly avoided the distinetion between eonstant pressure and eonstant volume by putting the moleeules, assumed to be equal in size, into a kind of pseudo-lattiee. Figure A2.5.14 shows sohematieally an equimolar mixture of A and B, at a high temperature where the distribution is essentially random, and at a low temperature where the mixture has separated mto two virtually one-eomponent phases.

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.

Exchange in the solid state follows die same basic principles as in liquids. The classic Cope re-arrangement of bullvalene occurs in both the liquid and solid state [25], and the lineshapes in the spectra are similar. 

We are all familiar with tire tliree states of matter gases, liquids and solids. In tire 19tli century the liquid crystal state was discovered [1 and 2] tliis can be considered as tire fourtli state of matter [3].The essential features and properties of liquid crystal phases and tlieir relation to molecular stmcture are discussed here. Liquid crystals are encountered in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) in digital watches and otlier electronic equipment. Such applications are also considered later in tliis section. Surfactants and lipids fonn various types of liquid crystal phase but this is discussed in section C2.3. This section focuses on low-molecular-weight liquid crystals, polymer liquid crystals being discussed in tire previous section.
