Effect of Temperature on the Volumetric Properties of [Difurylmethane+(C<Subscript>2</Subscript>–C<Subscript>6</Subscript>) Alkan-1-ol] Binary Systems: Analyses of New and Literature Density Data in the Temperature Range 288.15–308.15 K

Densities, ρ, of the binary systems {difurylmethane + (ethanol or propan-1-ol or butan-1-ol or pentan-1-ol or hexan-1-ol)} have been measured with an Anton Paar DMA 4500 vibrating-tube densimeter over the entire composition range at 288.15 and 308.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The measured and literature densities of [difurylmethane + n-alkanol] binary systems have been used to check the validity of the relationship describing the dependence of density on composition. This relation is useful for obtaining interpolated ρ values corresponding to the experimental data. Excess molar volumes (V _m^E) of each mixture, limiting (V _m,i ^E,∞) and excess partial (V _m,i ^E) molar volumes and the limiting partial molar expansion (E _p,i ^∞) of both components of each binary system have been examined to provide insight into the temperature variations of the intermolecular interactions and molecular packing efficiencies. The results have been discussed in terms of specific intermolecular interactions and structural effects.     

Volumetric and transport properties of binary liquid mixtures of N-methylacetamide with lactones at temperatures (303.15 to 318.15) K

The values of density (ρ), viscosity (η) and speed of sound (u) have been measured for binary liquid mixtures of γ-butyrolactone (GBL), δ-valerolactone (DVL), and ε-caprolactone (ECL) with N-methylacetamide (NMA) over the whole composition range at T = (303.15 to 318.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From these data, excess molar volume (V^E), deviation in viscosity (Δη), and deviation in isentropic compressibility (Δκ_s), are calculated. The results are fitted to a Redlich–Kister type polynomial equation to derive binary coefficients and standard deviations.     

High-pressure densities and derived volumetric properties (excess, apparent, and partial molar volumes) of binary mixtures of {methanol (1) + [BMIM][BF4] (2)}

The density of seven {(0.0087, 0.0433, 0.1302, 0.2626, 0.4988, 0.7501, and 0.9102) mole fraction of [BMIM][BF₄]} binary {methanol (1) + [BMIM][BF₄] (2)} (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) mixtures has been measured with a vibrating-tube densimeter. Measurements were performed at temperatures from (298 to 398) K and at pressures up to 40 MPa. The total uncertainties of density, temperature, pressure, and concentration measurements was estimated to be less than 0.15 kg · m⁻³, 15 mK, 5 kPa, and 10⁻⁴, respectively. The uncertainties reported in this paper are expanded uncertainties at the 95% confidence level with a coverage factor of k = 2. The effect of temperature, pressure, and concentration on the density and derived volumetric properties such as excess, apparent, and partial molar volumes was studied. The measured densities were used to develop a Tait-type equation of state for the mixture. The structural properties such as direct and total correlation function integrals and cluster size were calculated using the Krichevskii function concept and the equation of state for the mixture at infinite dilution.     

Photo-induced electron emission from 17beta-estradiol and progesterone and possible biological consequences

It was established for the first time, that the sexual hormones 17beta-estradiol (17betaE2) and progesterone (PRG) are able to emit electrons from their excited single state in water-ethanol mixtures. The yield of the "solvated electrons" (e(s)(-)) depends on the substrate concentration, the ratio of water-alcohol-mixtures and the temperature. The e(s)(-) yield obtained from 17betaE2 is by two orders of magnitude higher than this of PRG. The possible relationship of the resulting hormone transients from 17betaE2 leading via specific metabolites to breast cancer is discussed.     

Viscometric and volumetric behaviour of binary mixtures of sulfolane and N-methylpyrrolidone with monoethanolamine and diethanolamine in the range 303–373 K

Capillary viscometry was used to determine the kinematic viscosity of the binary systems composed of N-methylpyrrolidone + monoethanolamine and N-methylpyrrolidone + diethanolamine throughout the concentration range, at eight different temperatures in the range 303.15–373.15 K. Pure component values of viscosity were also determined in the temperature range 303.15–423.15 K. Using a rolling ball viscometer the absolute viscosity was obtained for the binary systems composed of tetramethylene sulfone (sulfolane) + monoethanolamine and tetramethylene sulfone + diethanolamine, throughout the concentration range, at three different temperatures in the range 303.15–373.15 K. Density results were obtained using a vibrating-tube densimeter for the four pure components and the four binary systems studied, in the same temperature range and the whole concentration range for the binary systems as the viscosity measurements.

The experimental viscosity results for the four pure solvents cover a broader temperature range than previously reported by other workers. The experimental results of viscosity for both pure and binary systems show a decrease with increasing temperature as expected. In the case of the binary systems the change of viscosity with concentration for the two sets of mixtures with N-methylpyrrolidone is very large in the range of 303.15–353.15 K, whereas it is small in the range 363.15–373.15 K. The observed behaviour of the change of viscosity with concentration for sulfolane with monoethanolamine is different from that shown by sulfolane with diethanolamine, at 303.15 and 323.15 K; the first system shows a minimum viscosity point in the sulfolane-rich region whereas at 373.15 K it shows values of viscosity greater than that of the pure components in the whole range of concentration; and the second system shows large variations of viscosity at low sulfolane concentration, at 303.15 and 323.15 K; whereas at 373.15 K the viscosity values change smoothly between those for the two pure components.

From the density results, molar excess volumes were derived, which were correlated using the Redlich–Kister equation; the final expression includes the functionality with both concentration and temperature.     

Influence of chain length and degree of branching of alcohol + chlorobenzene mixtures on determination and modelling of V by CEOS and CEOS/G mixing rules

The densities of binary mixtures of (1-propanol, or 1-butanol, or 2-butanol, or 1-pentanol + chlorobenzene) have been measured at temperatures 288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K and atmospheric pressure while for the system (2-methyl-2-propanol + chlorobenzene) measurements were performed at the same pressure and temperatures 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, 318.15 and 323.15 K. All measurements were performed by means of an Anton Paar DMA 5000 digital vibrating-tube densimeter. Excess molar volumes V^E were determined and fitted by the Redlich–Kister equation. It was observed that in all cases, V^E increase with rising of temperature. The values of limiting excess partial molar volumes have been calculated, as well. The obtained results have been analysed in terms of specific molecular interactions present in these mixtures taking into consideration effect of the chain length of alcohols, degree of branching in the chain, relative position of the alkyl and OH group in an alcohol and the effect of temperature on them. In addition, the correlation of V^E binary data was performed with the Peng–Robinson–Stryjek–Vera cubic equation of state (PRSV CEOS) coupled with the van der Waals (vdW1) and CEOS/G^E mixing rule introduced by Twu, Coon, Bluck and Tilton (TCBT). Also, the possibility of cross prediction between V^E and VLE by means of the NRTL parameters of G^E model available in literature and those incorporated in the TCBT model was tested.     

Vapour pressure and excess Gibbs energy of binary 1,2-dichloroethane + cyclohexanone,chloroform + cyclopentanone and chloroform + cyclohexanone mixtures at temperatures from 298.15 to 318.15 K

The vapour pressures of the binary systems 1,2-dichloroethane + cyclohexanone, chloroform + cyclopentanone and chloroform + cyclohexanone mixtures were measured at temperatures between 298.15 and 318.15 K. The vapour pressures vs. liquid phase composition data for three isotherms have been used to calculate the activity coefficients of the two components and the excess molar Gibbs energies, G^E, for these mixtures, using Barker's method. Redlich–Kister, Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC equations, taking into account the vapour phase imperfection in terms of the 2-nd virial coefficient, have represented the G^E values. No significant difference between G^E values obtained with these equations has been observed. Our data on vapour–liquid equilibria (VLE) and excess properties of the studied systems are examined in terms of the DISQUAC and modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) predictive group contributions models.

A confident source of hard X‐rays: radiation from a tokamak applicable for runaway electrons diagnosis

In a tokamak with a toroidal electric field, electrons that exceed the critical velocity are freely accelerated and can reach very high energies. These so‐called `runaway electrons' can cause severe damage to the vacuum vessel and are a dangerous source of hard X‐rays. Here the effect of toroidal electric and magnetic field changes on the characteristics of runaway electrons is reported. A possible technique for runaways diagnosis is the detection of hard X‐ray radiation; for this purpose, a scintillator (NaI) was used. Because of the high loop voltage at the beginning of a plasma, this investigation was carried out on toroidal electric field changes in the first 5 ms interval from the beginning of the plasma. In addition, the toroidal magnetic field was monitored for the whole discharge time. The results indicate that with increasing toroidal electric field the mean energy of runaway electrons rises, and also an increase in the toroidal magnetic field can result in a decrease in intensity of magnetohydrodynamic oscillations which means that for both conditions more of these high‐energy electrons will be generated.
