Transition-point

Transition Point.—Exactly the same considerations and equations hold, of course, for allotropic change, the modification stable above the transformation point taking the place of the liquid. On the experimental side, however, we have in this case the great advantage that the transformation frequently takes place so slowly that we can investigate both modifications without any particular difficulty down to the region of the lowest temperatures. [Pg.106]

It is true that, on account of the smallness of the heats of transformation, the difference in specific heat between the two modifications is not large and that the form of the A-curve can therefore be established with only limited accuracy. All available observations on sulphur, which is the only example of this kind on which detailed investigation has been made, show that, as required by my Heat Theorem, there is a contact, a very close contact, between the curves for A and U at low temperatures. [Pg.106]

We are dealing here, of course, with the transformation of monoclinic into rhombic sulphur. Let us first make the simple hypothesis that for the transformation of i gramme of sulphur [Pg.106]

The above simple hypothesis accords, to quite a good degree of approximation, with all measurements hitherto made thus it reproduces well the available values of U — [Pg.106]

Further, it gives with satisfactory approximation the values of A found by Broensted from determinations of the solubility of the two modifications — [Pg.107]

To determine the position of transition point, we shall compare the relaxation times (4.27) and (4.37), due to different mechanisms of conformational relaxation, which gives an equation [Pg.77]

The transition point can be different, if one uses different modes, but only the transition point for the first mode is considered here. For the strongly entangled systems, according to relation (5.17), ijj = 7t2/x, so that, at %l 1, [Pg.77]

One can consider the parameter B to be a function of x and, taking equations (3.17), (3.25) and empirical value 6 = 2.4 into account, finds a solution of the equation, and estimate the value of the transition point between weakly and strongly entangled systems as [Pg.78]

This value determines a point, where the mechanism of relaxation is changing. The point practically coincides with the point of the change of mechanisms of diffusion, determined by equation (5.23) in the next chapter, so that one can say about a single transition point. [Pg.78]

The position of the transition point can be estimated (see Section 6.4), due to measurements of viscoelastic properties, as M (4.6-12.0)Me. It corresponds to the above value of transition point, though the empirical evaluation of relaxation times could not be done with great accuracy in these investigations. [Pg.78]

It is important to note that, in this example, as in real seeond-order transitions, the eiirves for the two-phase region eaimot be extended beyond the transition to do so would imply that one had more than 100% of one phase and less than 0% of the other phase. Indeed it seems to be a quite general feature of all known seeond-order transitions (although it does not seem to be a themiodynamie requirement) that some aspeet of the system ehanges gradually until it beeomes eomplete at the transition point. [Pg.615]

Here the coefficients G2, G, and so on, are frinctions ofp and T, presumably expandable in Taylor series around p p and T- T. However, it is frequently overlooked that the derivation is accompanied by the connnent that since. . . the second-order transition point must be some singular point of tlie themiodynamic potential, there is every reason to suppose that such an expansion camiot be carried out up to temis of arbitrary order , but that tliere are grounds to suppose that its singularity is of higher order than that of the temis of the expansion used . The theory developed below was based on this assumption. [Pg.643]

For the kind of transition above which the order parameter is zero and below which other values are stable, the coefficient 2 iiiust change sign at the transition point and must remain positive. As we have seen, the dependence of s on temperature is detemiined by requiring the free energy to be a miniimuii (i.e. by setting its derivative with respect to s equal to zero). Thus... [Pg.643]

Seven isotopes of helium are known Liquid helium (He4) exists in two forms He41 and He411, with a sharp transition point at 2.174K. He41 (above this temperature) is a normal liquid, but He411 (below it) is unlike any other known substance. It expands on cooling its conductivity for heat is enormous and neither its heat conduction nor viscosity obeys normal rules. [Pg.7]

Strontium is found chiefly as celestite and strontianite. The metal can be prepared by electrolysis of the fused chloride mixed with potassium chloride, or is made by reducing strontium oxide with aluminum in a vacuum at a temperature at which strontium distills off. Three allotropic forms of the metal exist, with transition points at 235 and 540oC. [Pg.102]

A few studies have found potential surfaces with a stable minimum at the transition point, with two very small barriers then going toward the reactants and products. This phenomenon is referred to as Lake Eyring Henry Eyring, one of the inventors of transition state theory, suggested that such a situation, analogous to a lake in a mountain cleft, could occur. In a study by Schlegel and coworkers, it was determined that this energy minimum can occur as an artifact of the MP2 wave function. This was found to be a mathematical quirk of the MP2 wave function, and to a lesser extent MP3, that does not correspond to reality. The same effect was not observed for MP4 or any other levels of theory. [Pg.151]

Transition point is at higher potential than the tabulated formal potential because the molar absorptivity of the reduced form is very much greater than that of the oxidized form. [Pg.950]

Figure 4.3b is a schematic representation of the behavior of S and V in the vicinity of T . Although both the crystal and liquid phases have the same value of G at T , this is not the case for S and V (or for the enthalpy H). Since these latter variables can be written as first derivatives of G and show discontinuities at the transition point, the fusion process is called a first-order transition. Vaporization and other familiar phase transitions are also first-order transitions. The behavior of V at Tg in Fig. 4.1 shows that the glass transition is not a first-order transition. One of the objectives of this chapter is to gain a better understanding of what else it might be. We shall return to this in Sec. 4.8. [Pg.207]

Since Eqs. (4.48) and (4.49) both describe the same limit, they must be equal at the second-order transition point ... [Pg.247]

A low Reynolds number indicates laminar flow and a paraboHc velocity profile of the type shown in Figure la. In this case, the velocity of flow in the center of the conduit is much greater than that near the wall. If the operating Reynolds number is increased, a transition point is reached (somewhere over Re = 2000) where the flow becomes turbulent and the velocity profile more evenly distributed over the interior of the conduit as shown in Figure lb. This tendency to a uniform fluid velocity profile continues as the pipe Reynolds number is increased further into the turbulent region. [Pg.55]

Circulating fluidized beds (CFBs) are high velocity fluidized beds operating well above the terminal velocity of all the particles or clusters of particles. A very large cyclone and seal leg return system are needed to recycle sohds in order to maintain a bed inventory. There is a gradual transition from turbulent fluidization to a truly circulating, or fast-fluidized bed, as the gas velocity is increased (Fig. 6), and the exact transition point is rather arbitrary. The sohds are returned to the bed through a conduit called a standpipe. The return of the sohds can be controUed by either a mechanical or a nonmechanical valve. [Pg.81]

To erase information by the transition amorphous — crystalline, the amorphous phase of the selected area must be crystallized by annealing. This is effected by illumination with a low power laser beam (6—15 mW, compared to 15—50 mW for writing/melting), thus crystallizing the area. This crystallization temperature is above the glass-transition point, but below the melting point of the material concerned (Eig. 15, Erase). [Pg.149]

Sohd ammonium nitrate occurs in five different crystalline forms (19) (Table 6) detectable by time—temperature cooling curves. Because all phase changes involve either shrinkage or expansion of the crystals, there can be a considerable effect on the physical condition of the sohd material. This is particularly tme of the 32.3°C transition point which is so close to normal storage temperature during hot weather. [Pg.365]

Commonly known as the five hydrate (72), transition point to decahydrate, 60.7°C, 16.6% Na2B40y. Transition point to decahydrate, 58.2°C, 14.55% Na2B 02. [Pg.197]

The exact formulations for inlay casting waxes are considered trade secrets, and Htfle has been pubUshed on the subject. A binary mixture of 65—75 wt % paraffin wax (60—63°C) and a microcrystalline wax having a melting point >60° C has been suggested (127). This produces a mixture having a sohd—sohd transition point at about 37°C with htfle plastic deformation (1—3%) at 37°C and a desirable plasticity at 45°C (73—77%) (128). [Pg.479]

What follows is a very brief summary of the extensive work of Pratt and his coworkers, Dell, Gayler, Lewis, Jones, Roberts, and White [Trans. Inst. Chem. Eng. (London), 29, 89, 110, 126 (1951) 31, 57, 69 (1953) Chem. Tnd. (London), 1952, p. 358]. For the standard commercial packings of 1.27-cm (l/2-in) size and larger, at low values of V, (j) varies hnearly with up to values of (j) = 0.10. With further increase ofV,. (j) increases sharply up to a lower transition point, ... [Pg.1476]
