Transformation, isothermal

Fig. 4 Paths to integer folded forms in long alkanes. While solution crystallization gives integer forms (E, F2,...) directly, for melt crystallization this is true only for the E form. Below the melting point of F2, the transient non-integer form (NIF) appears and subsequently transforms isothermally either to the once-folded F2 form or the mixed-integer folded-extended (FE) form, based on layer triplets. Deuterium- labelled chain ends, prepared for neutron scattering experiments, are indicated with circles...

Isothermal calorimeter. With the isothermal calorimeter, the condition (Tc- Tg) = constant, is attained by a total transfer of heat of the process taking place in the calorimetric vessel to the heat sink, where it will cause a partial phase transformation of the substance in the heat sink. The thermal effect of the investigated process is then determined from the volume change of the calorimetric substance. According to the phase transformation, isothermal calorimeters using transformation of the solid phase to the liquid or of the liquid to the vapor phase are known. 

Let V be the total volume of the solution, [D] and [A] the concentration in gram-moles per c c of dianthracene and anthracene present m the solution, the work done in transforming isothermally and reversibly r mole of dianthracene into 2 moles of anthracene, supposing each to be present at unit concentration (1 mole per c c), which, of course, does not represent the equilibrium state An equal and opposite amount of work would be done in the polymerisation process (Note... 

Hence the work done by the system m transforming isotherm ally and reversibly r mole of D at concentration [D] into 2 moles of A at [A], or vice versa, is numerically—... 

Let us demonstrate the following property in every transformation (isothermal or otherwise), the space of points representative of those intermediary states is a straight line with a slope of -kclku. 

On cooling to an isothermal temperature below the martensite start (Mg) jwint of790 5 °C (1454 9 °F), first some a phase is formed above Mg and then the remaining, predominate portion of the p phase is transformed into a supersaturated hexagonal martensite (a"). Below Mg and above the martensite finish (Mf) temperature of 740 5 °C (1364 9 °F), there remains a residual P phase, which is probably transformed isothermally to a phase. The resulting structure for isothermal reaction is a + a", where the a" phase below 750 °C (1380 °F) decomposes discontinuously into a two-phase a + p structure and a metastable P phase enriched with p-stabilizing elements.

In a eutectic reaction, as found in some alloy systems, a hquid phase transforms isothermally into two different solid phases upon cooUng (i.e., L + /3). Such a reaction is noted on the copper-silver and lead-tin phase diagrams (Figures 9.7 and 9.8, respectively). 

The development of microstrnctnre for many iron-carbon alloys and steels depends on a eutectoid reaction in which the austenite phase of composition 0.76 wt% C transforms isothermally (at 727°C) into a-ferrite (0.022 wt% C) and cementite (i.e., a + FejC).
