The second law of thermodynamics is often expressed as the fact that the entropy of an isolated system increases when a spontaneous change takes place. While this statement is true, a more general formulation can easily be presented to students. Starting f ...
The fusion bonding of neat polypropylene (PP) has been investigated under non-isothermal conditions with different initial adherend temperatures, and the results compared with results from bonds prepared under isothermal conditions with identical adherend ...
A simple improved mixing cell model is shown to be more accurate than the standard mixing cell model when used to solve solute transport problems with a nonlinear adsorption isotherm included. The solution obtained from the improved model is found to agree ...
The phenomenon of expansion in concretes which have been exposed to elevated temperatures during curing and subsequently to moisture is discussed; in particular, the relationship of this expansion to the formation of ettringite after initial curing (delaye ...
A mol. beam mass spectrometer was constructed to study the formation of van der Waals clusters over a wide mass range. Using this app. (SF6)m was detected with 1 ? m ? 100 in the adiabatic expansion of SF6. By irradiating the SF6 jet with a continuous-wave ...
Methods for the prepn. and purifn. of new carboxylated 2,2'-bipyridine ligands, two of which contain the new anchoring functionality malonate, and a reliable method for the synthesis of the corresponding Ru(bpy)2(L)2 complexes are described. Their s ...
