Syntactic foamed plastics are generally three component systems. For example, a syntactic system with 60% glass microspheres (bulk density of 300 kg/m3) consists... 

Template leaching is another methodology applied for the production of membranes it can be applied to produce porous glass membranes [180], The method consists in the formation of a structure with the help of a homogeneous melt of a three-component system, for example, NazO—B203 — Si02 when... 

As long ago as 1960, Tarasov et al. [121] presented some examples of the concrete three-component systems for which the existence of the azeotropic composition had already been predicted theoretically. The list of such systems was widened substantially after publication of the important paper [125], where a set of the known tabulated values of 653 pairs of reactivity ratios for a computer search of the possible multicomponent azeotropes was employed. For this aim one should, at first, reveal all the completely characterized multicomponent systems for which the values of reactivity ratios of all monomer pairs are tabulated. This problem can be formalized by reducing it to the search on the graph with 653 lines of a...

These equations form a system of partial differential equations of the second order. Examples of two complete systems are given in Table 2.1 (a binary mixture and a pure mobile phase or a mobile phase containing only weakly adsorbed additives, a two-component system) and Table 2.2 (a binary mixture and a binary mobile phase with a strongly adsorbed additive, a three-component system). For the sake of simplicity, the equilibrium-dispersive model (see Section 2.2.2) has been used in both cases. The problem of the choice of the isotherm model will be discussed in the next two chapters. 

Gutman, A.B., T.F. Yu A three-component system for regulation of renal excretion of uric acid in man. Trans. Assoc. Am. Physicians 74 353-364 (1961). 

The method of Prater and Wei also affords an interesting way to familiarize oneself with the kinetic response of reaction networks and their experimental analysis. In the case of a three-component system, for instance, this familiarity can be achieved in the following way. 

In 1961 Gutman and Yu proposed a three component system for the regulation of the renal excretion of uric acid in man. The first component of this system is filtration of plasma urate at the glomerulus. While this process is certain to be operative in the human kidney, its quantitative role in the renal excretion of uric acid in man depends upon the extent of urate binding to plasma proteins in vivo. This is a subject that is being discussed in another section of this symposium and will not be considered further in this paper. The second and third component of this system relate to uric acid reabsorption and secretion by the human nephron. Ample data is available to document that both of these processes are operable in the human kidney (Gutman and Yu, 1957 Gutman, et al., 1959), but the relative contribution of each to the final excretion of uric acid has been difficult to determine with conventional clearance techniques. However, a potential solution to this problem of bidirectional uric acid transport appeared in 1967 when Steele and Rieselbach introduced the "pyrazinamide suppression test . 

As already mentioned in the Introduction, micelles and microemulsions are complex multicomponent fluids consisting of two liquids, namely water and oil, and a surface-active agent (for a three-component system). For a four-component system, in addition to the surfactant a cosurfactant is also added (usually an alcohol). In systems containing more than four components, some salt is added, solubilized in either water or oil.

Two alternative means around the difficulty have been used. One, due to Pethica [267] (but see also Alexander and Barnes [268]), is as follows. The Gibbs equation, Eq. III-80, for a three-component system at constant temperature and locating the dividing surface so that Fi is zero becomes... 

Neglecting the higher-order terms, we can write the osmotic pressure for this three-component system in terms of the van t Hoff equation ... 

Sulfur as an Additive for Asphalt. Sulfur-extended asphalt (SEA) binders are formulated by replacing some of the asphalt cement (AC) in conventional binders with sulfur. Binders that have sulfur asphalt weight ratios as high as 50 50 have been used, but most binders contain about 30 wt % sulfur. Greater latitude in design is possible for SEA paving materials, which are three-component systems, whereas conventional asphalt paving materials are two-component systems. Introduction of sulfur can provide some substantial benefits. At temperatures above 130°C, SEA binders have lower viscosities than conventional asphalt. The lower viscosity enables the plant to produce and compact the mix at lower temperatures than with conventional... 

To properly handle the changing composition relationships it is almost essential to utilize some electronic computer techniques if good accuracy is to be achieved. Even three component systems become tedious using desk size electronic calculators without significant internal memory. Computers can be well programmed to handle the complexities of trial and check for convergence to a preset acceptable limit. 

The method of construction of this type of diagram will be illustrated using the general case of the three component system metal-sulphur-oxygen (M-S-O) whose values of AG for the reactions between the various condensed phases are given in Talile 7.37 on page 7 191.

The precipitation threshold is indicated by the point of tangency X for the threshold solvent mixture. 

For the purpose of investigating solubility relations at a given temperature in three-component systems of the type discussed above, the proportion of nonsolvent which must be added to produce incipient precipitation may be observed as a function of the polymer concentration. Isothermal phase diagrams like that shown in Fig. 123 may... 

Having derived a solution for two-component systems, we could try and extend this solution to three-component systems. A PCA of a data set of spectra of three-component mixtures yields three significant eigenvectors and a score matrix with three scores for each spectrum. Therefore, the spectra are located in a three-dimensional space defined by the eigenvectors. For the same reason, explained for the two-component system, by normalization, the ternary spectra are found on a surface with one dimension less than the number of compounds, in this case, a plane. 

Such a distinction in composition inhomogeneity of the copolymers may have caused the variation in transparency which was observed experimentally by Sloco-mbe [36]. He examined forty-four three-component systems and established several empirical rules enabling the interpretation of experimental data on the transparency of high-conversion terpolymers. These empirical rules were explained later [37] in terms of the theory of dynamic systems whose methods have been successfully employed for qualitative analysis of the solutions of the set of dynamic...
