ABSTRACTWe have investigated the spreading behavior of solvent droplets on a bulk water support using solvents with different vapor pressures and spreading coefficients. Instead of seeding the surface with tracer particles, as is usually done to track moving fronts, we employ laser shadowgraphy to visualize the entire surface of the spreading film including the leading edge. For non-volatile systems it has previously been shown that the leading edge advances in time as t3/4. We find that volatile systems with positive initial spreading coefficients exhibit two spreading fronts, both of which demonstrate power law growth but with exponents closer to 1/2. Surprisingly, differences in the liquid vapor pressure or the spreading coefficient seem only to effect the speed of advance but not the value of the exponent. We are presently investigating the behavior of the subsurface flow to determine the mechanism leading to the smaller spreading exponent.

Abstract A series of experiments was performed to investigate the spreading behavior of firefighting foam solutions on liquid fuel surfaces. The spreading coefficients of six kinds of aqueous film-forming foam solutions and one fluorine-free foam solution on the surface of four liquid fuels, namely, cyclohexane, diesel, n-heptane, and ethanol, were calculated on the basis of surface and interfacial tension. Spreading behavior was studied systematically using a high-speed camera, and then the relationship between spreading behavior and spreading coefficient was analyzed. Furthermore, the spreading area and spreading rate of different foam solution droplets on liquid fuel surfaces were studied in depth. The spreading amount of the foam solution droplets on the liquid fuel surfaces was measured. Four typical spreading phenomena, namely, spreading, suspension, dissolution, and sinking, of AFFF solutions on liquid fuel surfaces were identified. Moreover, a positive spreading coefficient did not necessarily lead to the formation of an aqueous film. The spreading area, spreading rate, and spreading amount were not proportional to the spreading coefficient. During the evaluation of the spreading property of firefighting foam, the spreading coefficient, spreading rate, and spreading amount must be focused on instead of only the spreading coefficient.

Abstract Comparable volatility data are presented for three phenolic and five aromatic amine compounds. Vapor pressure curves for the materials are given along with the vapor pressure equations derived from these curves. The equations are used to calculate temperatures at which the eight compounds would have equal vapor pressure. Vapor pressures of each material are calculated at specified temperatures. Data are given for several methods of determining actual losses of antioxidants at several different temperatures and at several different airflows. Surface effects are also studied. In general, all methods give the same relative rating of the eight materials, but quantitative data vary considerably with the method used.

Tracer Particles

We study the transit time distributions of tracer particles in a porous medium through which a constant flow rate is established. Our model assumes that non-Gaussian dispersion is due to the presence of low velocity zones or channels in parallel with a faster flow path. Each channel is represented as a trap and simulates the existence of variable permeability blocks inside the porous medium. The time the tracer particle spends inside each channel is related to the heterogeneity of the sample, and is assumed here to have a power-law distribution. We compare the transit time distribution of these particles for the case in which the traps are Poisson distributed with the one in which the trap distribution is a power-law function.

Scholander's method of gas analysis requires that the solutions for CO2 absorber, O2 absorber, and acid-rinse be matched in terms of water vapor tension throughout the analysis. Any difference in vapor pressure between either or both of the absorbing solutions and the indicator drop (composed of acid-rinse) will produce a measurable volume change which cannot be attributed to the presence of absorbable gases. This paper describes a practical and quantitative method for preparing reagents whose vapor pressures are matched. A fixed acid-rinse formulation was used throughout. A CO2 absorber prepared from 1.35 N KOH and an O2 absorber prepared from 0.76 N KOH were both matched in terms of vapor pressure with Scholander's acid-rinse solution. Analysis of atmospheric air provided a check on the accuracy of the technique. The values obtained were O2 20.94%, CO2 0.03%, and N2 (balance) 79.04%.

The saturated vapor pressures of R22 uniformly mixed with refrigeration oil and nano- refrigeration-oil were measured experimentally at a temperature range from 263 to 333K and mass fractions from 1 to 5%. The experimental results showed that the saturated vapor pressure of R22/KT56 mixture was lower than that of pure R22; the pressure deviation between them increased with a raising mass fraction of refrigeration oil and temperature. After adding nano-NiFe2O4 and nano-fullerene into KT56, the pressure deviation increased at the same mass fraction and temperature. A saturated vapor pressure correlation for R22 and refrigeration oil/nano-refrigeration-oil mixture was proposed, and the calculated values agreed with the experimental data within the deviation of ± 0.77%.

Preliminary Study

Slight separations of some isotopic isomers have been achieved by equilibrium rectification. In the case of chlorine the total separation amounted to 0.048 atomic weight units; 28.6% of the O18 has also been removed from normal oxygen by the fractionation of water, and in a short run with liquid oxygen the normal concentration of O18 has been raised from 0.2% to 0.25%. The last-mentioned separation can be carried considerably further with present equipment.CH3D was synthesized. Its boiling point appears to be 0.5 °C. lower than that of methane.The vapor pressures of a 56.8% solution of D2O were measured, and it is suggested that the published values of the vapor pressure of D2O at temperatures lower than 40 °C. may be slightly too high.

The high temperature corrosion behavior of Fe20Cr6Al-Y,Hf steel was studied in the range of temperature 800-1000oC in H2/H2S atmospheres at pS2=10-2 ,10-3 and 10-4 Pa sulphur vapor pressures. Kinetics depend on the temperature and sulphur vapor pressure. After 24 hours the whole specimen was practically consumed because the samples were 0,06 cm thick. Morphology of the scales have been performed by SEM techniques. Phase and chemical composition have been studied by EDX and XRD techniques. It was found that scale formed on Fe20Cr6Al-Y,Hf alloy was built with porosity sulphides layer. EDX analysis of the scale surface show that the any aluminum, hafnium and yttrium sulfides were found in the formed scale layer, however small amounts of Al2S3 was detected in scale/steel interface. Also internal sulphidation was observed. A phase analysis of the formed scale revealed that it is composed mainly of an FeS, Fe7S8 phases and CrS, Cr5S6. Result were compared with data obtained on the pure Fe and Cr samples.

Abstract. We applied and compared seven vapor pressure estimation methods to the condensable compounds generated in the oxidation of α-pinene, as described by the state-of-the-art mechanism of the BOREAM model Capouet et al., 2008. Several of these methods had to be extended in order to treat functional groups such as hydroperoxides and peroxy acyl nitrates. Large differences in the estimated vapor pressures are reported, which will inevitably lead to large differences in aerosol formation simulations. Cautioning remarks are given for some vapor pressure estimation methods.

Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate

The two recognized forms of calcium sulfate hemihydrate can be identified by the position of a relatively small exothermic peak in their differential thermograms. Hemihydrates prepared at various water vapor pressures up to 760 mm Hg were found to produce this exothermic peak in a position which is characteristic for the β-form. These results indicate that α-hemihydrate cannot be made at atmospheric pressure, as was previously suggested on the basis of heat solution measurements. The typical differential thermogram of α-hemihydrate is only obtained with material made by dehydration in solution or by autoclaving. The effect of ambient water vapor pressure on the position of the three peaks that occur in the differential thermogram of CaSO4•2H2O has also been studied. It was found that the incipient temperature of the second endothermic peak, corresponding to the transition of hemihydrate to soluble anhydrite, is displaced independent of the rate of heating from 145 °C to 187 °C with increasing water vapor pressures up to 760 mm Hg. This indicates that, for each temperature, a threshold water vapor pressure exists, above which soluble anhydrite cannot be formed.
