Significant Temperature

Abstract Steady-state distributions of Au, Ag and Cu tracers in Pb wafers subjected to temperature gradients have been determined. The effective heats of transport were + 5.8 ± 1.1 for Ag, - 0.5 ± 0.3 for Au, and of the order of + 35 for Cu (all in kcal/mole, positive values denoting the impurity migrating to the cold side of the Pb wafer). No significant temperature dependence of the heats of transport could be detected. The results are difficult to reconcile with existing theories of the intrinsic and electronic contribution to the heat of transport.

Oxygen Evolving

Abstract Five characteristic discontinuities of the pattern of oxygen evolution have been detected for the filamentous cyanobacterium Oscillatoria chalybea in the temperature range of 0°C to 30°C. The temperatures at which these discontinuities occur are: ≈ 5°C, ≈ 11°C, ≈ 15°C, ≈ 21°C and ≈ 25°C. The calculated initial 5-S state distribution, the miss parameter and the fraction of the fast transition S3 → S0+ O2 are affected. The discontinuities are observed at the same transition temperature also for Chlorella kessleri hence are not specific for the cyanobacterium. Based on these studies it is concluded that the not vanishing oxygen signal under the first flash of a flash train in Oscillatoria cannot have its origin in interactions between oxygen-evolving complexes. A decrease of temperature should slow down the expected charge exchanges, improve the oscillations, thus reduce or lower the first two oxygen amplitudes of the oscillatoria pattern. Lowering of the temperautres improves the oscillations but does not lower the first O2 signal of the pattern.

Effect Of Structure

A line source technique has been developed for non-steady-state measurements of the therm al conductivities of liquids over an extended range of temperature. The accuracy of the method, which is an absolute one, has been critically exam ined. T hermal conductivities of liquid benzene, toluene, diphenyl, o-,m - and^p-terphenyl, estimated to be accurate to + 0*25 % , have been obtained. These results are discussed in terms of the effect of structure on the transport properties of liquids and the relation between the coefficient of thermal expansion and the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity.
