Oils of vegetable origin are of great importance in food, soap, and cosmetic industries and they may also be used as lubricants and raw materials for biodiesel production depending on their viscosity and thermal stability. This work provides insight into the fatty acid components, physicochemical properties and thermal stability of some refined vegetable oils. The Saponification values, peroxid...

In this work, kinetics and thermodynamics of esterification reaction were studied. This research investigated the esterification reaction between methanol and acidified oil catalyzed by sulfonated cation exchange resin and proposed a new rate equation for consideration of kinetics of this reaction according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. Thermodynamics and kinetics parameters were calcu...

Accelerated stability tests are indicated to assess, within a short time, the degree of chemical degradation that may affect an active substance, either alone or in a formula, under normal storage conditions. This method is based on increased stress conditions to accelerate the rate of chemical degradation. Based on the equation of the straight line obtained as a function of the reaction order ...

the drying behavior and characteristics of date paste were studied at temperatures of 60, 70, and 80ºc as thin layer with sample thicknesses of 1, 1.5, and 2 cm in a laboratory scale vacuum chamber. modeling of drying kinetics of date paste was investigated based on the specific temperatures and sample thicknesses. the experimental moisture loss data were fitted to eight thin layer drying model...

Textural difEerences between Cheddar and Cheshire cheeses were examined rheologically to provide a means of distinguishing these two English cheeses. Body breakdown of a 6@wk Cheshire sample occurred at a lower strain than did a 20-wk sample, whereas a 60-wk Cheddar sample did not break down under the same conditions. All cheeses followed the Arrhenius equation, and the energy of activation obt...

In an isometric tetanus in frog's sartorius muscle tension approaches the plateau exponentially with rate constant alpha. alpha a depends on sarcomere length, s, and temperature, T, according to the Arrhenius equation See PDF for Equation for temperatures between 1 and 20 degrees C and for sarcomere lengths 2.0-2.8 microm. The energy of activation, E, does not vary significantly with s; E = 13....

The accuracy of Peukert’s battery capacity equation may decrease under the conditions variable current and temperatures. Some researchers have previously tried to overcome lack C-rate change. However, dependence on temperature is still not included. In this paper, we mainly studied reduction effect batteries proposed method can calculate battery’s available according specific discharge conditio...

Arrhenius-type plots for multifragmentation process, defined as the transverse energy dependence of the single-fragment emission-probability, (ln(1/pb) vs 1/ √ Et), have been studied by examining the relationship of the parameters pb and Et to the intermediate-mass fragment multiplicity 〈n〉. The linearity of these plots reflects the correlation of the fragment multiplicity with the transverse e...
