Tube metal indication

The expl props, as detd by Haid et al (Ref 8), indicate that Ca azide is the most powerful of the alkaline earth azides. Although Curtius found that this salt did not expl by percussion, Wohler Martin (Ref 5) and Haid et al (Ref 8) obtained deton by impact (Refs 7 12). When heated rapidly Ca(Nj)3 expl between 144-156°. Heated in a capillary tube, metallic Ca appears at 120-130° (Ref 11) and in vacuo expl between 160-170° (Ref 14). The kinetics of the thermal decompn has been studied by Andreev (Ref 10), Garner Reeves (Ref 19) and others ionic conductance of the solid by Jacobs Tompkins (Ref 18) in the temp range 290-370°K, and initiation and propogation of expln by Bowden Williams (Ref 16) who measured the rate of deton as 770 m/sec. 

Heavy metal ions test. Place 2 mL of milk in each of three clean, labeled test tubes. Add a few drops of each of the following metal ions to the corresponding test tubes as indicated below ... 

Figure 24 Structure of a carbon nanotube, (a) the unraveled (4,2) tube, where the indices (m,n) refer to the vector (in terms of a and 32) which spans the circumference of the tube. The vector (4,-5) indicates the size of the unit cell. The angle q is the chiral angle of the tube, (b) Positions of the (m,n) vectors on a graphite sheet. Metallic chiralities are indicted with a full circles and semiconducting tubes are indicated with open circles.

For measuring hot (1,000-1-°F) furnace flue-gas temperatures, a velocity thermocouple should be used (see Chapter 15). Using an ordinary static thermocouple will indicate a lower-than-actual temperature due to the effects of reradiation from the thermocouple. Furnace tube metal temperatures are approximated visually ... 

Heat Transfer from Various Metal Surfaces In an early work, Pridgeon and Badger [Jnd. Eng. Chem., 16, 474 (1924)] pubhshed test results on copper and iron tubes in a horizontal-tube evaporator that indicated an extreme effect of surface cleanliness on heat-transfer coefficients. However, the high degree of cleanhness needed for high coefficients was difficult to achieve, and the tube layout and... 

Such defects result from abnormal manufacturing operations such as insufficient lubrication between the metal and the mandrel during the tube-forming process. The lubricant may have been contaminated. Measurement indicated that some of these defects penetrated 8% of the tube wall thickness. Defects of this type can act as corrosion-initiation sites in a sufficiently aggressive environment. 

We did not observe any voltage dependent variation of the tube images. Also, the measured heights of the tubes were comparable with their diameters. Both of these observations indicate that the tubes have rather metallic than semiconducting properties. 

The electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes have been studied theoretically using different methods[4-12. It is found that if n — wr is a multiple of 3, the nanotube will be metallic otherwise, it wiU exhibit a semiconducting behavior. Calculations on a 2D array of identical armchair nanotubes with parallel tube axes within the local density approximation framework indicate that a crystal with a hexagonal packing of the tubes is most stable, and that intertubule interactions render the system semiconducting with a zero energy gap[35]. 

Fig. 10. TEM picture of a Ni metal left in the capillary of a graphite tube. Contact angle of the Ni particle on graphite surface (angle between the Ni/graphite interface and the Ni free surface) is larger than 90° (measured angle is about 140°), indicating poor wetting of Ni on the inner wall of a graphite tube.

As future outlook, it would be of great relevance to be able to eventually enhanee the intrinsic conductivity of CNTs. In this respect, the latest development in alkali metal intercalated CNTs looks rather promising. In faet, Chauvet et al. recently sueeeeded to dope aligned CNT by potassium and found that the Pauli susceptibility increases a factor of 3 upon doping, indicating that K-doped tubes are still good eonductors [23]. 

A piece of pure metallic sodium about half the size of a pea is dropped into 0-5 c.c. of the oil in a dry test tube, and heated until all chemical action has ceased. The test tube and contents are immersed whilst still hot in 10 c.c. of distilled water in a porcelain dish. The solution is. filtered, acidulated with nitric acid, and silver nitrate solution added. Any turbidity or opalescence indicates the presence of chlorine compounds.
