Thermoelastic effect in liquid mercury at high hydrostatic pressures

Thermoelastic effect in liquid mercury at high hydrostatic pressures

The rapid deformation of liquid and solid materials usually results in temperature changes. This rapid deformation is considered to be a nearly adiabatic process where the heat generated during the deformation changes the temperature of the material. Early experiments showed that metals cooled down on sudden stretching and warmed up upon compression [1]. In 1805, Gough [2] observed that the tem...

Single acetylcholine receptor channel currents recorded at high hydrostatic pressures.

A technique for performing patch-clamp experiments under high hydrostatic (oil) pressure is described. The method allows the transfer of whole cell or membrane patches in a recording configuration into a pressure vessel, where pressure can be increased up to 60 MPa (approximately equal to 600 bar). We have studied in this way the pressure dependence of single acetylcholine receptor channels in ...

Phase equilibrium and metastability of liquid benzene at high pressures.

This work is mainly an investigation of some of the liquid-to-solid properties of pure benzene on a restricted domain of high pressures (20.6< or =P< or =102.9 MPa). Newly obtained equilibrium experimental data and recently developed analytical equation of state are exploited and compared with each other and with previous experimental data. Curves fitted to the pressure, volume discontinuity, a...

Regeneration of СO2 Physical Solvents at Elevated Pressures in Gas-Liquid Membrane Contactor

In the present work, a membrane contactor with asymmetric flat-sheet poly(vinyltrimethylsilane) (PVTMS) membranes was proposed for the CO2 desorption process from physical solvents at elevated trans-membrane pressures. Different solvents were studied: water, a mixture of polyethylene g...
