Water liquid versus solid

Coatings formulations based on water borne polymers usually depend on specific ingredients for rheological profile adjustment and overall properties optimization. There is a large variety of additives which can be used to modify the rheology of a system. Natural organic derivatives (e.g. cellulose ethers) have been traditionally used in the paint industry and are well established. Synthetic thickeners, on the other hand, have appeared later but quickly became very popular, mostly because of their ease of use (liquid versus solid)... 

Wall-to-bed heat-transfer coefficients were also measured by Viswanathan et al. (V6). The bed diameter was 2 in. and the media used were air, water, and quartz particles of 0.649- and 0.928-mm mean diameter. All experiments were carried out with constant bed height, whereas the amount of solid particles as well as the gas and liquid flow rates were varied. The results are presented in that paper as plots of heat-transfer coefficient versus the ratio between mass flow rate of gas and mass flow rate of liquid. The heat-transfer coefficient increased sharply to a maximum value, which was reached for relatively low gas-liquid ratios, and further increase of the ratio led to a reduction of the heat-transfer coefficient. It was also observed that the maximum value of the heat-transfer coefficient depends on the amount of solid particles in the column. Thus, for 0.928-mm particles, the maximum value of the heat-transfer coefficient obtained in experiments with 750-gm solids was approximately 40% higher than those obtained in experiments with 250- and 1250-gm solids. 

Residues of isoxaflutole, RPA 202248 and RPA 203328 are extracted from surface water or groundwater on to an RP-102 resin solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge, then eluted with an acetonitrile-methanol solvent mixture. Residues are determined by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) on a Cg column. Quantitation of results is based on a comparison of the ratio of analyte response to isotopically labeled internal standard response versus analyte response to internal standard response for calibration standards. 

The variation of enthalpy for binary mixtures is conveniently represented on a diagram. An example is shown in Figure 3.3. The diagram shows the enthalpy of mixtures of ammonia and water versus concentration with pressure and temperature as parameters. It covers the phase changes from solid to liquid to vapour, and the enthalpy values given include the latent heats for the phase transitions. 

This paper is a review of methods for estimating releases of chemicals into the environment in the course of extraction of raw materials, manufacturing, use, storage, transportation, and disposal, as well as by accidents or natural processes. It discusses source types, forms of substances released (solids, liquids, and gases), receiving media (air, water, soil), time pattern of release (continuous versus intermittent, cyclic versus random), and geographic patterns of release (point, line, area, and volume sources).

A phase diagram of a pure substance is a plot of one system variable against another that shows the conditions at which the substance exists as a solid, a liquid, and a gas. The most common of these diagrams plots pressure on the vertical axis versus temperature on the horizontal axis. The boundaries between the single-phase regions represent the pressures and temperatures at which two phases may coexist. The phase diagrams of water and carbon dioxide are shown in Figure 6.1-1. 

Bound moisture is water (or other solvents in nonaqueous systems) held by a material in such a manner that it exerts a lower vapor pressure than that of the pure liquid at the same temperature. Water may be chemically or physically bound. Unbound moisture is therefore moisture in association with a solid that exerts the same vapor pressure as the pure liquid. In a discussion of bound versus unbound water, it should be pointed out that are not only different equilibria to be considered, but that the binding energies and kinetics are different.
