As mentioned in the beginning of this chapter, spectra are determined by the nature and concentration of chemical species present in the flame and the temperature of both gas phase and particles. Thus, it can be concluded that determination of the temperature of both gas phase and particles is possible [2].

It is rare to be able to observe elastic deformations (which occur for instance during earthquakes) since by definition an elastic deformation does not leave any record. However, many subsurface or surface features are related to the other two modes of deformation. The composition of the material, confining pressure, rate of deformation and temperature determine which type of deformation will be initiated.

The new international temperature scale, known as ITS-90, was adopted in September 1989. However, neither the definition of thermodynamic temperature nor the definition of the kelvin or the Celsius temperature scales has changed it is the way in which we are to realize these definitions that has changed. The changes concern the recommended thermometers to be used in different regions of the temperature scale and the list of secondary standard fixed points. The changes in temperature determined using ITS-90 from the previous IPTS-68 are always less than 0.4 K, and almost always less than 0.2 K, over the range 0-1300 K. 

Liquidus Temperature. The Hquidus temperature determines the susceptibiUty of a glass to devitrification and therefore influences its forming limitations and often its heat-treating requirements. 

The hardness of carbides can only be deterrnined by micro methods because of britdeness, the usual macro tests caimot be used. Neither can the extremely high melting points of the carbides be readily deterrnined by the usual methods. In the so-called Priani hole method, a small hoUow rod is placed between two electrodes and heated by direct current until a Hquid drop appears in the cavity. The temperature is determined pyrometricaHy. When high temperature tungsten tube furnaces are used, the melting point can readily be estimated by the Seger-type cone method. The sample may also be fused in a KroU arc furnace and the solidification temperature determined. 

Experimentally it has been shown that for air-water systems the value of Tj /Zc c, the psychrometric ratio, is approximately equal to 1. Under these conditions the wet-bulb temperatures and adiabatic-saturation temperatures are substantially equal and can be used interchangeably. The difference between adiabatic-saturation temperature and wet-bulb temperature increases with increasing humidity, but this effect is unimportant for most engineering calculations. An empirical formula for wet-bulb temperature determination of moist air at atmospheric pressure is presented by Liley [Jnt. J. of Mechanical Engineering Education, vol. 21, No. 2 (1993)].

To find the actual transition we compare the temperatures determined for a given ps by (60) and (61) and choose the higher one. It turns out that for concentrations lower than at the Lifshitz point [13], in our case given by... 

Temperature determines whether or not the liquid in a vessel will boil when depressurized. The liquid will not boil if its temperature is below the boiling point at ambient pressure. If the liquid s temperature is above the superheat-limit temperature Tj] (Tsi = 0.897 ), it will boil explosively (BLEVE) when depressurized. Between these temperatures, the liquid will boil violently, but probably not rapidly enough to generate significant blast waves. However, this is not certain, so it is conservative to t sume that explosive boiling will occur (see Section 6.3.2). 

Prepare the solutions and measure the pH at one temperature of the kinetic study. Of course, the pH meter and electrodes must be properly calibrated against standard buffers, all solutions being thermostated at the single temperature of measurement. Carry out the rate constant determinations at three or more tempertures do not measure the pH or change the solution composition at the additional temperatures. Determine from an Arrhenius plot of log against l/T. Then calculate Eqh using Eq. (6-37) or (6-39) and the appropriate values of AH and AH as discussed above.

With the same apparatus as in example (1), the absolute temperature of the gas in its initial state was Ti. The tap was then opened so that the gas rapidly expanded to atmospheric pressure, and the temperature, determined immediately after expansion by a platinum resistance thermometer, or a thermo-element, in the centre of the vessel, was T2. Show that ... 

The precision of the rate constants as a function of temperature determines the standard deviations of the activation parameters. The absolute error, not the percentage error in the activation parameters, represents the agreement to the model, because of the exponential functions. If, for example, one wished to examine the values of AS for two reactions that were reported as -4 3 and 26 3 J mol 1K 1, then it should be concluded that the two are known to the same accuracy. Since AS and A// are correlated parameters, the uncertainty in AS will be about 1/Tav times that in A//. At ambient temperature this amounts to an approximate factor of three (that is, 1000/T, converting from joules for AS to kilojoules for A// ). Thus, the uncertainty in A//, 0 of 2.50 kJ mol 1 is consistent with the uncertainty in ASn of 7.21 J mol1 K-1 at Tav - 350 K.
