The boiling points, rates of change of boiling point with pressure, and densities of methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, n-propyl acetate, and n-butyl acetate were measured by precise comparative methods using water as the reference standard . As in previous work on the normal saturated hydrocarbons and normal aliphatic alcohols, it was found that the introduction of each CH2 group into the chain of...

Liquid agent transport was investigated around unheated and heated horizontal cylinders (to a near-surface temperature of approximately 423 K, i.e., well above the water boiling point) under ambient conditions. Experimental results are presented for a well-characterized, droplet-laden homogenous turbulent flow field, using water, methoxy-nonafluorobutane (i.e., HFE-7100, C4F9OCH3, with a boilin...

At the impact of a liquid droplet on a smooth surface heated above the liquid's boiling point, the droplet either immediately boils when it contacts the surface ("contact boiling"), or without any surface contact forms a Leidenfrost vapor layer towards the hot surface and bounces back ("gentle film boiling"), or both forms the Leidenfrost layer and ejects tiny droplets upward ("spraying film bo...

Temporary superheating and sustained nucleation-limited "superboiling" of unstirred liquids above the normal atmospheric boiling point have been documented during microwave heating. These phenomena are reliably observed under prescribed conditions, although the duration (of superheating) and magnitude (of superheating and superboiling) vary according to system parameters such as volume of the l...

Benzene and methanol make a minimum boiling point homogeneous binary azeotrope with the mole ratio 2:3. Some characteristic vibrational modes, as well as (1)H NMR signals change due to the azeotrope formation. The extend of interaction of these molecules causes significant changes on some vibrational modes involved, and (1)H NMR signals show some changes on their position. No IR, Raman, and NMR...
