Specifications for density, distillation curve and viscosity shown above are for products distributed in temperate climates. Other limits are required for arctic regions, particularly the Scandinavian countries. See Tables 5.13 and 5.14. 

In Europe, the classification of diesel fuels according to cold behavior is shown in Tables 5.13 and 5.14. The products are divided into ten classes, six for temperate climates, four for arctic zones. 

European diesel fuel specifications (EN 590 Standard). Requirements for temperate climatic zones. 

The European specifications require a minimum cetane number of 49 for the temperate climatic zones and the French automotive manufacturers require at least 50 in their own specifications. The products distributed in France and Europe are usually in the 48-55 range. Nevertheless, in most Scandinavian countries, the cetane number is lower and can attain 45-46. This situation is taken into account in the specifications for the arctic zone (Table 5.14). In the United States and Canada, the cetane numbers for diesel fuels are most often less than 50. 

The 15W40 or 15W50 oils are the most widespread in temperate climates (Western Europe), while the 20W40 or 20W50 oils are used in relatively warm climates (Mediterranean countries. Middle East, South America). The 5W or lOW grades are used in countries having severe winters such as Scandinavia and Canada. 

The demand for domestic gas changes seasonally in temperate climates, and production levels reflect this change. For example a sudden cold day in Northern Europe causes a sharply increased requirement for gas, and gas sales contracts in this region will allow the purchaser to demand an instant increase (up to a certain maximum) from the supplier. To safeguard for seasonal swings, imported gas is frequently stored in underground... 

EXAMINATION OF THE KINETICS OF MAGNETIC PROPERTIES IN TEMPERING STRUCTURAL STEELS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ACTIVE INSPECTION OF THEIR QUALITY by E.S. Gorkunov and I.n. Batuklitina, Vol. 23, No.3, pp. 177-183... 

It is generally used with half mild or mild steels (carbon <. 4). Its purpose is to enrich in carbon the superficial metal layers by diffusion phenomenon. To obtain a hard cemented layer after this processing, we generally proceed by tempering. The chemical processing increases the rate of atomic defects by the introduction of one or many elements in the superficial layers. We can reach surface hardnesses of about 800 VICKERS. 

We showed that the impedance variation of low frequency probes is influenced by the coating depth. Consequently, the tempering increase and the surface processing decrease the permeability and the electrical conductivity.

The basis sets that we have considered thus far are sufficient for most calculations. However, for some high-level calculations a basis set that effectively enables the basis set limit to be achieved is required. The even-tempered basis set is designed to achieve this each function m this basis set is the product of a spherical harmonic and a Gaussian function multiplied... 

The even-tempered basis set consists of the following sequence of functions Is, 2p, 3d, 4f,. .., which correspond to increasing values oi k. The advantage of this basis set is that ii relatively easy to optimise the exponents for a large sequence of basis functions. 

It is rather slow at moderate temperatures sind the hydrobromic acid formed in the initial stages of the resLCtion inhibits its further progress. By carrying out the reaction at 60-70 or above in the presence of a large excess of water, the inhibition observed at lower temper, atuies does not occur. 

Even-tempered basis sets (M. W. Schmidt and K. Ruedenberg, J. Chem. Phys. 71, 3961 (1979)) consist of GTOs in which the orbital exponents ak belonging to series of orbitals consist of geometrical progressions ak = a, where a and P characterize the particular set of GTOs.

The contracted basis in Figure 28.3 is called a minimal basis set because there is one contraction per occupied orbital. The valence region, and thus chemical bonding, could be described better if an additional primitive were added to each of the valence orbitals. This is almost always done using the even-tempered method. This method comes from the observation that energy-optimized exponents tend to nearly follow an exponential pattern given by... 

Note that the answers have been rounded to three significant digits. Since the even-tempered formula is only an approximation, this does not introduce any significant additional error. 

Although the even tempered function scheme is fairly reasonable far from the nucleus, each function added is slightly further from the energy-optimized value. Generally, two or three additional functions at the most will be added to a basis set. Beyond this point, it is most elficient to switch to a different, larger basis.

For a constant temperature simulation, a molecular system is coupled to a heat bath via a Bath relaxation constant (see Temperature Control on page 72). When setting this constant, remember that a small number results in tight coupling and holds the temperature closer to the chosen temperature. A larger number corresponds to weaker coupling, allowing more fluctuation in temper-...

In addition to the previously noted safety factors associated with these processes, there are additional needs for dust control and ventilation for dissipation of various vapors from pressing, tempering/heat treatment, and machining and finishing operations. 

Pure nitroglycerin is a stable Hquid at temperate conditions. It decomposes above 60°C to form nitric oxides which in turn catalyze further decomposition. Moisture increases the rate of decomposition under these conditions. Double- and multibase propellants containing nitroglycerin have substantially shorter stabiHty Hves at 65 and 80°C than do single-base propellants. The decomposition of nitroglycerin proceeds as...
