The tendency to separate is expressed most often by the cloud point, the temperature at which the fuei-alcohol mixture loses its clarity, the first symptom of insolubility. Figure 5.17 gives an example of how the cloud-point temperature changes with the water content for different mixtures of gasoline and methanol. It appears that for a total water content of 500 ppm, that which can be easily observed considering the hydroscopic character of methanol, instability arrives when the temperature approaches 0°C. This situation is unacceptable and is the reason that incorporating methanol in a fuel implies that it be accompanied by a cosolvent. One of the most effective in this domain is tertiary butyl alcohol, TBA. Thus a mixture of 3% methanol and 2% TBA has been used for several years in Germany without noticeable incident. 

The SPATE technique is based on measurement of the thermoelastic effect. Within the elastic range, a body subjected to tensile or compressive stresses experiences a reversible conversion between mechanical and thermal energy. Provided adiabatic conditions are maintained, the relationship between the reversible temperature change and the corresponding change in the sum of the principal stresses is linear and indipendent of the load frequency. 

The effect of temperature on contact angle is seldom very great, as a practical observation. Some values of d0/dTare included in Table X-2 a common figure is about -0.1 degrees/K (but note the case of CS2 on ice also rather large temperature changes may occur in L1-L2-S systems (see Ref. 160).

At relatively low temperatures, the effect of added nitric acid was to catalyse the reaction strongly, and to modify it to the autocatalytic form. At higher temperatures the effect of this additive was much weaker, as was the induced autocatalysis. Under these circumstances the catalysis was second-order in the concentration of nitric acid, and the presence of 0-25 mol l i of it brought about a sixfold change in the rate. 

Schematic illustrations of the effect of temperature and surface density (time) on the ratio of two isotopes, (a) shows that, generally, there is a fractionation of the two isotopes as time and temperature change the ratio of the two isotopes changes throughout the experiment and makes difficult an assessment of their precise ratio in the original sample, (b) illustrates the effect of gradually changing the temperature of the filament to keep the ratio of ion yields linear, which simplifies the task of estimating the ratio in the original sample. The best method is one in which the rate of evaporation is low enough that the ratio of the isotopes is virtually constant this ratio then relates exactly to the ratio in the original sample.

From the lengths of the arrows drawn in Fig. 4.8b, estimate the change in time scale which will produce the same effect on the rate of crystallization as changing the temperature from 130 to 128°C. Do the same for a temperature change from 126 to 128°C. 

Chemical shim control is effected by adjusting the concentration of boric acid dissolved ia the coolant water to compensate for slowly changing reactivity caused by slow temperature changes and fuel depletion. Eixed burnable poison rods are placed ia the core to compensate for fuel depletion. 

Thermal imaging is sensitive to iafrared radiation that detects temperature changes over the surface of a part when heat has been appHed. Thermal diffusion ia a soHd is affected by variatioa ia composition or by the preseace of cracks, voids, delamiaatioas, etc the effects are detected by surface temperature changes. Defects cannot be detected if their depth below the surface is more than two to three times their diameter. Nondestmctive testing has been primarily used for composites and analysis of adhesive bonds or welds. Several studies are documented ia the Hterature (322—327).

Of great practical value is the derivation for the effect of temperature, the -value, defined as the temperature change necessary to effect a 10-fold reduction...
