In this paper the density and temperature dependencies of surface tension are investigated. Using the Lennard-Jones (12,6), as an effective pair interaction potential, a linear expression is derived for isotherms of g /r2  versus r2 for some normal and ChloroFluoroCarbons (CFCs)</...

in this paper, at first we have formulated the lowest order constrained variational method for the relativistic case of an interacting fermion system at finite temperature. then we have used this formalism to calculate some thermodynamic properties of liquid in the relativistic regime. the results show that the difference between total energies of relativistic and non-relativistic cases of liqu...

PURPOSE The stability and viscosity of preparations of a commercially available, flavored, immediate-release powder for oral suspension (omeprazole-sodium bicarbonate) during refrigerator and room temperature storage were investigated. METHODS Omeprazole-sodium bicarbonate 20-mg packets were suspended to initial omeprazole concentrations of 0.6 and 2 mg/mL, and omeprazole-sodium bicarbonate 4...

Using confocal microscopy, we have studied the morphology of polymer dispersed liquid crystals ~PDLC! as a function of polymer/liquid crystal composition, polymer cure temperature, and ultraviolet ~UV! curing power and determined how this morphology affects the electro-optical properties. The PDLC morphology consists of a spongelike texture where spherically shaped liquid crystalline domains ar...

Synchrotron x-ray radiography has been used to measure the viscosity of pure liquid Fe at high pressure and temperature in a large volume press. A probe sphere rising through liquid Fe at high pressure and temperature is imaged, in situ, allowing for the derivation of sample viscosity through a modified form of Stokes’ equation. The effect of pressure on viscosity is fit by the semi empirical f...

Though cryogenic storage is presumed to provide nearly infinite longevity to cells, the actual shelf life achieved under ultra-cold temperatures has not been addressed theoretically or empirically. Here, we report measurable changes in germination of dried seeds stored under liquid nitrogen conditions for >10 years. There was considerable variability in the extent of deterioration among species...

The ability of simple potential functions to reproduce accurately the density of liquid water from 237 to 100 °C at 1 to 10 000 atm has been further explored. The result is the five-site TIP5P model, which yields significantly improved results; the average error in the density over the 100° temperature range from 237.5 to 62.5 °C at 1 atm is only 0.006 g cm. Classical Monte Carlo statistical me...

The sequestration of fossil fuel CO2 in the deep ocean has been discussed by a number of workers, and direct ocean experiments have been carried out to investigate the fate of rising CO2 droplets in seawater. However, no applicable theoretical models have been developed to calculate the dissolution rate of rising CO2 droplets with or without hydrate shells. Such models are important for the eva...

The hydrodynamic behaviour of riming frozen drops and riming simulated ice crystal plates was studied by meansofavertical wind tunnel.At all times theiceparticles werefreelysuspended in thevertical airstream of the wind tunnel where temperature and liquid water content could be accurately controlled. The ice particles studied had initial radii between 100 and 300,um and final radii between 400 ...
