Notion of viscosity Arrhenius temperature for N,N-dimethylacetamide with N,N-dimethylformamide binary mixtures and its pure components

Excess properties calculated from the experimental values of densities and viscosities have been presented in the previous work. These experimental values can also lead us to test different correlation equations as well as their corresponding relative functions. Inspection of the Arrhenius activation energy Ea and the enthalpy of activation of viscous flow ΔH* found very close values, here we can define partial molar activation energy Ea₁ and Ea₂ for N,N-dimethylacetamide and methanol respectively along with their individual contribution separately. Correlation between the two Arrhenius parameters of viscosity in all compositions shows existence of distinct behaviours separated by particular mole fractions of N,N-dimethylacetamide. In addition, the correlation between Arrhenius parameters reveals interesting Arrhenius temperature which is closely related to the vaporisation temperature in the liquid vapour equilibrium and the limiting corresponding partial molar properties that can permit us to estimate the boiling points of the pure components.     

A partial derivatives approach for estimation of the viscosity Arrhenius temperature in N,N-dimethylformamide + 1,4-dioxane binary fluid mixtures at temperatures from 298.15 K to 318.15 K

Excess properties calculated from the literature values of experimental density and viscosity in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) + 1,4-dioxane (DO) fluid binary mixtures (from 303.15 to 318.15) K can lead us to test the different correlation equations as well as their corresponding relative functions. Inspection of the Arrhenius activation energy Ea and the enthalpy of activation of viscous flow ?H* shows very close values; here we can define partial molar activation energy Ea₁ and Ea₂ for DMF and DO, respectively, along with their individual contribution separately. Correlation between the two Arrhenius parameters of viscosity in all compositions shows the existence of the primary distinct behaviours separated by particular mole fractions in DMF. In addition, we add that the correlation between Arrhenius parameters reveals interesting Arrhenius temperature (T_A), which is closely related to the vaporisation temperature in the liquid–vapour equilibrium; moreover, the limiting corresponding partial molar properties allow us to estimate the boiling points of the pure components.     

Derived partial molar properties investigations of viscosity Arrhenius parameters in formamide + N,N-dimethylacetamide systems at different temperatures

Excess properties calculated from the literature values of experimental density and viscosity in N,N-dimethylacetamide + formamide binary mixtures between 298.15 K and 318.15 K can lead us to test different correlation equations as well as their corresponding relative functions. Inspection of the Arrhenius activation energy Ea and the enthalpy of activation of viscous flow ΔH* shows very close values. Here, we can define partial molar activation energies Ea₁ and Ea₂ for N,N-dimethylacetamide and formamide, respectively, along with their individual contribution separately. Correlation between the two Arrhenius parameters of viscosity in all compositions shows the existence of two main distinct behaviours separated by the mole fraction equal to 0.3 of N,N-dimethylacetamide. In addition, the correlation between Arrhenius parameters reveals interesting Arrhenius temperature, which is closely related to the vaporisation temperature in the liquid vapour equilibrium and the limiting corresponding partial molar properties can permit us to predict the boiling points of the pure components.     

A novel approach to discuss the viscosity Arrhenius behaviour and to derive the partial molar properties in binary mixtures of N,N-dimethylacetamide with 2-methoxyethanol in the temperature interval (from 298.15 to 318.15) K

Calculation of excess properties in N,N-dimethylacetamide + 2-methoxyethanol binary mixtures at (298.15, 308.15 and 318.15) K from experimental density, viscosity and sound velocity values were presented in previous work. Applications of these experimental values to test different correlation equations as well as their corresponding relative functions were also reported. Considering the quasi-equality between the Arrhenius activation energy Ea and the enthalpy of activation of viscous flow ΔH*, here we can define partial molar activation energy Ea₁ and Ea₂ for N,N-dimethylacetamide and 2-methoxyethanol, respectively, along with their individual contribution separately. Correlation between Arrhenius parameters reveals interesting Arrhenius temperature with a comparison to the vaporisation temperature in the liquid vapour equilibrium, and the limiting corresponding partial molar properties that can permit us to estimate the boiling points of the pure components.     

Estimation of the normal boiling points of water and 1,2-dimethoxyethane through the viscosity–temperature dependence in the corresponding binary mixtures

Excess quantities calculated from literature values of experimental density and viscosity in 1,2-dimethoxyethane + water binary systems (from 303.15 to 323.15 K) can lead us to test different correlation equations as well as their corresponding derivative properties. Inspection of the Arrhenius activation energy (Ea) and the enthalpy of activation of viscous flow (ΔH*) shows very close values; here, we can define partial molar activation energies Ea₁ and Ea₂ for 1,2-dimethoxyethane and water, respectively, along with their individual contribution separately. Correlation between the two Arrhenius parameters of viscosity in all compositions shows existence of main distinct interaction behaviours delimited by particular mole fractions in 1,2-dimethoxyethane. Moreover, we add that correlation between Arrhenius parameters reveals interesting Arrhenius temperature which is closely related to the vapourisation temperature in the liquid vapour equilibrium, and the limiting corresponding partial molar properties can permit us to estimate the boiling points of the pure components.     

Estimation of boiling points by investigations of viscosity Arrhenius behaviours in Methyl Benzoate + n-Hexane binary liquid systems at atmospheric pressure

Calculation of excess properties in methyl benzoate + n-Hexane binary liquid mixtures at (303.15, 308.15 and 313.15) K from experimental viscosity and density values was presented in earlier work. Investigations of these experimental values to test correlation quality of different equations as well as their corresponding relative functions were also reported. Considering the quasi-equality between the enthalpy of activation of viscous flow ΔH* and the viscosity Arrhenius activation energy Ea, here we can define partial molar activation energy Ea₁ and Ea₂ for methyl benzoate with n-Hexane, respectively, along with their individual contribution separately. Correlation between Arrhenius parameters brings to light interesting Arrhenius temperature with a comparison to the temperature of vaporisation in the liquid vapour equilibrium, and the limiting corresponding partial molar properties that can permit us to predict value of the boiling points of the pure components. New empirical equations for estimating the boiling temperature are proposed.

Effect of Temperature and Composition on the Transport and Thermodynamic Properties of Binary Mixtures of Ionic Liquid <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Butyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-methylpyrrolidinium bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and Propylene Carbonate

The thermodynamic and transport proprieties have been determined for the whole concentration range of N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (P₁₄) and propylene carbonate (PC) binary mixtures in the temperature range 293.15–318.15 K. Strong effects of the mole fraction and temperature on these properties have been observed. The isobaric expansivities and excess properties have been evaluated. Their corresponding coefficients were positive but the excess volume had both negative and positive values. The viscosity parameter was found to be temperature-dependant and followed the Arrhenius law. The variation of activation energies for viscous flow E _a,η versus the ILs concentration exhibited a change in the medium structure. The conductivity-temperature relationship was found to have a better fitting on the Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher model than on the Arrhenius law. In addition, the variation of conductivity with the molar fraction was well described by the Casteel-Amis equation. Finally, the Walden product showed significant dependence of the conductivity on the viscosity of the medium. The results allowed good characterisation of both the ruling interactions and the medium structure.     

Prediction of viscosities and COSMO-RS analyses in binary mixtures of N,N-dimethylformamide with acetone

Experimental viscosities, η, for pure N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and acetone (ACT) and their binary mixtures are measured over the whole composition range as a function of temperature between 298.15 and 313.15 K. The deviations in viscosity, ?η, Gibbs free energy of activation ?G, entropies ?S*, enthalpies ?H of activation of viscous flow have been calculated. The determination of excess molar volumes, Vη^E, was calculated from the experimental viscosities for the binary mixtures. The conductor-like screening model is applied to interpret the intermolecular forces. The σ-profile is computed for the N,N-DMF and ACT with conductor-like screening model for real solvents. The experimental results were found to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. Moreover, viscosity data were calculated from the theoretical equations of Grunberg and Nissan, Hind et al. and Wilke for the entire systems. All results obtained were averaged experimentally and theoretically in terms of average deviations.     

Phase separation time/temperature dependence of some thermoplastics-modified thermosetting systems

The phase separation processes of various thermoplastics-modified thermosetting systems which show upper critical solution temperature (UCST) or lower critical solution temperature (LCST) were studied with emphasis on the temperature dependency of the phase separation times. It was found that the phase separation time-temperature relationship follows the Arrhenius equation. The cure-induced phase separation activation energy E _a (ps) generated from the equation is independent of the method used to measure phase separation time. In our experimental ranges it is found that E _a (ps) is independent of the thermoplastic (TP) content, TP molecular weight and curing rate but it varies with the cure reaction kinetics and the chemical environments of the systems. __________ Translated from Acta Polymerica Sinica, 2007, 8: 725–730 [译自: 高分子学报]     

Liquid density,viscosity and spectroscopic studies of binary mixture of tetraethylene glycol + 1,2-ethanediamine for CO2 capture

Thermophysical properties for binary mixture of tetraethylene glycol (T₄EG) (1) + 1,2-ethanediamine (EDA) (2), a potential scrubbing solution for the absorption of CO₂, are very important as well as lacking in the literatures. This work reports densities and viscosities over the entire concentration range for the binary mixture at T = (293.15-318.15) K under atmospheric pressure. According to the experimental density and viscosity values, the mixtures’ excess molar volume (V_m^E), absolute viscosity deviation (?η), excess free energies of activation (?G*^E), apparent molar volumes, partial molar volumes and isobaric thermal expansion coefficient were calculated, respectively. Meanwhile, the V_m^E, ?η and ?G*^E values were fitted by a Redlich–Kister equation to obtain coefficients. To further study, the Fourier transform infrared, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra of T₄EG + EDA mixtures with various concentrations were measured, and the intermolecular interaction of T₄EG with EDA was also discussed as the formation of –OCH₂CH₂O–H···N(H₂)CH₂CH₂(H₂)N···.     

Viscosity Arrhenius parameters correlation: extension from pure to binary fluid mixtures

Knowledge of fluids’ physicochemical properties is mandatory for the design and optimisation of industrial processes and products. A data quantity of most importance, in this regard, turns out to be the value of fluid viscosity. Many empirical and semi-empirical formulas have been proposed in the literature to describe the viscosity of pure liquids and binary liquid mixtures. Recently, an interesting equation is proposed for pure solvents correlating the two parameters in the viscosity Arrhenius-type equation, namely the activation energy (E_a) and the pre-exponential factor (A_s). This paper aims to extend the said correlation to binary liquid mixtures. To achieve this purpose, statistical methods are applied using data sets from the literature of some solvent binary mixtures at different compositions and temperatures. The validation of the extended proposed equation for binary liquid mixtures is important since it simplifies the estimation of viscous behaviour and the ensuing calculations.     

Effect of temperature on the intrinsic viscosity and conformation of different pectins

The effects of temperature on the intrinsic viscosity and on the conformation of pectin obtained from Citrus, Apple and Sunflower in a 0.17M NaCl solution were studied. Mark-Houwink plots for Orange, Apple and Sunflower pectin were obtained using HPSEC with online light scattering and viscosity detection. The intrinsic viscosity and flow activation energy E _a of pectin from the sources studied were measured over the temperature range 20–60°C. E _a values were 0.67, 0.69, 1.34, and 1.44 × 10⁷ J/(kmol) for commercial Citrus, Orange, Sunflower and Apple pectin, respectively. Intrinsic viscosity decreased linearly with increasing temperature, for all pectins except Apple one. These results clearly indicated that Apple pectin underwent structural changes that were more drastic than those that occurred for pectin from the other sources. E _a increased with decreasing weight average molar mass M _w indicating that pectin with low M _w were more asymmetric than pectin with higher values of M _w. Changes in the Huggins coefficients K _h with temperature for pectin from the various sources were attributed to the ability of pectin to aggregate, disaggregate and re-aggregate according to the temperature at which it was stored.     

Thermogravimetry of the thermal degradation of Japanese lacquer (urushi) films

The kinetics of the thermal degradation of Japanese lacquer (urushi) films in N₂ and in air were studied by means of thermogravimetry (TG). Thermogravimetric and derivative thermogravimetric curves indicated that the degradation occurred in three stages. The atmosphere influenced the apparent activation energies (E _a) of the three degradation stages. The activation energies (E _a) for the first stage in N₂ and air, obtained from the TG curve, were 19.12 and 10.19 kcal mol^?1, respectively, and the corresponding pre-exponential factors (A) were 6.18 × 10⁵ and 1.24 × 10² min^?1 for 1-year-old urushi films.     

Thermodynamic properties of N,N-dimethylformamide + water

The excess viscosities, η^E, and excess energy of activation (ΔΕ_η)^Ε of dynamic viscosity have been investigated by using dynamic viscosity measurements for N,N-dimethylformamide + water (DMFW) mixtures over the entire range of mole fractions at five different temperatures. The results were also fitted with the Redlich–Kister equation. This system exhibited very large positive values of η^E and (ΔΕ_η)^Ε due to the increased dipole–dipole interactions and correlation length between unlike molecules. The activation parameters ΔΗ_σ and ΔS_σ have been also calculated, and they show that the critical region has an important effect on the dynamic viscosity properties. The results obtained are discussed from the viewpoint of the existence of interactions between the components.     

Excess properties and spectroscopic studies of binary system 1,4-butanediol + water at T = (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15) K

Density and dynamic viscosity data were measured over the whole concentration range for the binary system 1,4-butanediol (1) + water (2) at T = (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, and 318.15) K as a function of composition under atmospheric pressure. Based on density and dynamic viscosity data, excess molar density (ρ^E), dynamic viscosity deviation (Δν) and excess molar volume (V_m^E) were calculated. From the dynamic viscosity data, excess Gibbs energies (ΔG*^E), Gibbs free energy of activation of viscous flow (ΔG*), enthalpy of activation for viscous flow (ΔH*) and entropy of activation for viscous flow (ΔS*) were also calculated. The ρ^E, V_m^E, Δν and ΔG*^E values were correlated by a Redlich?Kister-type function to obtain the coefficients and to estimate the standard deviations between the experimental and calculated quantities. Based on FTIR and UV spectral results, the intermolecular interaction of 1,4-butanediol with H₂O was discussed.     

Cure behavior of diglycidylether of bisphenol A/trimethylolpropane triglycidylether epoxy blends initiated by thermal latent catalyst

Cure behaviors of diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)/trimethylolpropane triglycidylether (TMP) epoxy blends initiated by 1 wt % N‐benzylpyrazinium hexafluoroantimonate (BPH) as a cationic latent catalyst were investigated using DSC and rheometer. This system showed more than one type of reaction and BPH could be excellent thermal latent catalyst without any co‐initiator. The cure activation energy (E_a) obtained from Kissinger method using dynamic DSC data was higher in DGEBA/TMP mixtures than in pure DGEBA. Rheological properties of the blend system were investigated under isothermal condition using a rheometer. The gel time was obtained from the analysis of storage modulus (G′), loss modulus (G″) and damping factor (tanδ). The crosslinking activation energy (E_c) was also determined from the Arrhenius equation based on the gel time and curing temperature. As a result, the crosslinking activation energy showed a similar behavior with that obtained from Kissinger method. And the gel time decreased with increasing TMP content, which could be resulted from increasing the activated sites by trifunctional epoxide groups and decreasing the viscosity of DGEBA/TMP epoxy blend in the presence of TMP. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Lifetime predictions for semi-crystalline cable insulation materials: I. Mechanical properties and oxygen consumption measurements on EPR materials

Long-term accelerated aging studies (up to 7 years of aging) were conducted on four typical EPR materials used as cable insulation in nuclear power plant safety applications with the goal of establishing lifetime estimates at typical aging conditions of ∼50 °C. The four materials showed slow to moderate changes in mechanical properties (tensile elongation) until just before failure where abrupt changes occurred (so-called “induction-time” behavior). Time-temperature superposition was applied to derive shift factors and probe for Arrhenius behavior. Three of the materials showed reasonable time-temperature superposition with the empirically derived shift factors yielding an approximate Arrhenius dependence on temperature. Since the elongation results for the fourth material could not be successfully superposed, consistency with Arrhenius assumptions was impossible. For this material the early part of the mechanical degradation appeared to have an Arrhenius activation energy E_a of ∼100 kJ/mol (24 kcal/mol) whereas the post-induction degradation data had an E_a of ∼128 kJ/mol. Oxygen consumption measurements were used to confirm the 100 kJ/mol E_a found from early-time elongation results and to show that the chemistry responsible before the induction time is likely to remain unchanged down to 50 °C. Reasonable extrapolations of the induction-time results indicated 50 °C lifetimes exceeding 300 years for all four materials.
