Densities and speeds of sound of the binary mixtures 1,3-dioxolane + 1-butanol, 1,3-dioxolane + 2-butanol, 1,4-dioxane + 1-butanol, and 1,4-dioxane + 2-butanol have been measured at 25 and 40°C. The excess molar volumes and excess isentropic compressibility coefficients were calculated from experimental data and fitted to a Redlich–Kister polynomial function. Results were analyzed in terms of molecular interactions and compared with literature data.     

Sound velocity in different reacting thermal plasma systems

In most cases the energy dissipated in plasma jets used either,for heating or spraying is varied by changing the are current, the total gas floc+rate, and composition. However, when doing so, conditions are reached where the plasma jet may become supersonic. To predict such conditions or to characterize supersonic plasma jets the knowledge of the sound velocitya is mandatory The goal of this paper is to calculatea versus plasma forming gas composition, temperature, and pressure. Rigorous calculation would imply the knowledge of the chemical reaction kinetics, sound velocity depending strongly on this. Unfortunately such kinetics are generally lolknown for plasma jet floras and the only possibility is to determine the equilibrium sound velocitya calculated through the isentropic coefficient T. This coefficient has been calculated taking into account the dissociation and ionization reactions at equilibrium for temperatures ranging from 300 to 25,000 K and pressures between 0.1 and 1 Mpa for Ar, H₂, He, Ar-He, Ar-H₂, O₂, N₂, air, .steam, and methane.a often called the frozen sound velocity, was also calculated using (ratio of specific heats) instead of .     

Speed of Sound, Isentropic Compressibilities, and Excess Molar Volumes of Binary Mixtures Containing p-Dioxane

The speed of sound u in and densities of eight binary mixtures of p-dioxane (p-C₄H₈O₂) with methylcyclohexane (c-C₆H₁₁CH₃), 1-chlorohexane (C₆H₁₃C1), 1-bromohexane (C₆H₁₃Br), p-xylene [C₆H₄(CH₃)₂], propylbenzene (C₆H₅C₃H₇), methyl acetate CH₃COOCH₃), butyl acetate (CH₃COOC₄H₉), and amyl acetate (CH₃COOC₅H₁₁) were measured over the whole composition range at 30°C. Isentropic compressibilities (K _S), Rao's molar sound functions (R), excess molar volumes (V ^E), excess isentropic compressibilities (K _S ^E ) together with relative change in volume V/₁₂ values, have been obtained for all measured mole fractions. The excess partial molar volume (V₁-V ₁ ⁰ ) of p-dioxane in different solvents have also been estimated. The experimental results have been analyzed in terms of the Prigogine–Flory–Patterson theory of solutions.

Brillouin light scattering from a biopolymer gel: hypersonic sound waves in gelatin

Rayleigh-Brillouin light scattering experiments were performed on gelatin gels in order to obtain the (hypersonic) sound velocity and sound attenuation as a function of gelatin concentration. The results show that in the high frequency regime there is a strong coupling in the gel between the dynamics of the network and that of the fluid. The network sound velocity varies with ^1/2. Sound attenuation increases with increasing gelatin concentration.     

Densities, refractive indices and speeds of sound of the ternary mixtures (dimethyl carbonate + methanol + ethanol) and (dimethyl carbonate + methanol + 1-propanol) at T=298.15 K

Density, refractive index and speed of sound at T=298.15 K and atmospheric pressure have been measured over the entire composition range for (dimethyl carbonate (DMC) + methanol + ethanol) and (DMC + methanol + 1-propanol). Excess molar volumes, changes of refractive index on mixing and deviations in isentropic compressibility for the above systems have been calculated. The calculated quantities are further fitted to the Cibulka equation to estimate the ternary fitting parameters. Standard deviations from the regression lines are shown.     

Performance of a sound card as data acquisition system and a lock-in emulated by software in capillary electrophoresis

The performance of fluorescence detectors in capillary electrophoresis is maximized when the excitation light intensity is modulated in time with optimal frequencies. This is especially true when photomultiplier tubes are used to detect the fluorescent light. The photomultiplier tube amplified raw output signal can in principle be captured directly by a personal computer sound card (PCSC) and processed by a lock-in emulated by software. This possibility is demonstrated in the present work and the performance of this new setup is compared with a traditional data acquisition system. The results obtained with this “PCSC and lock-in emulated by software” were of the same quality or even better compared to that obtained by conventional time integrators (Boxcars) and data acquisition boards. With PCSC the limits of detection (LOD) found for both naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde-derivatized tyrosine and alanine were 3.3 and 3.5 fmol (injection of 5 nL of samples at 0.66 and 0.70 μmol/L), respectively. This is at least three times better compared to conventional systems when light emitting diodes (LEDs) are used as the excitation source in fluorescence detectors. The PCSC linear response range was also larger compared to conventional data acquisition boards. This scheme showed to be a practical and convenient alternative of data acquisition and signal processing for detection systems used in capillary electrophoresis.     

Excess Molar Volumes,Viscosities and Speeds of Sound of the Ternary Mixture 1-Heptanol (1) + Tetrachloroethylene (2) + Methylcyclohexane (3) at 298.15 K

Densities (ρ), viscosities (η) and speeds of sound (u) of the ternary mixture (1-heptanol + tetrachloroethylene + methylcyclohexane) and the corresponding binary mixtures (1-heptanol + tetrachloroethylene), (1-heptanol + methylcyclohexane) and (tetrachloroethylene + methylcyclohexane) at 298.15 K were measured over the whole composition range. The data obtained are used to calculate the excess molar volumes (V ^E), excess isobaric thermal expansivities (α ^E), viscosity deviations (Δη), excess Gibbs energies of activation of viscous flow (ΔG ^*E) and excess isentropic compressibilities (κ _S ^E) of the binary and ternary mixtures. The data from the binary systems were fitted by the Redlich–Kister equation whereas the best correlation method for the ternary system was found using the Nagata equation. Viscosities, speeds of sound and isentropic compressibilities of the binary and ternary mixtures have been correlated by means of several empirical and semi-empirical equations. The best correlation method for viscosities of binary systems is found using the Iulan et al. equation and for the ternary system using the Heric and McAllister equations. The best correlation method for the speeds of sound and isentropic compressibilities of the binary system (1-heptanol + methylcyclohexane) is found using IMR (Van Deal ideal mixing relation) and for the binary system (tetrachloroethylene + methylcyclohexane) it is found using the NR (Nomoto relation) and for the binary system (1-heptanol + tetrachloroethylene) and the ternary system (1-heptanol + trichloroethylene + methylcyclohexane) it is obtained from the FLT (Jacobson free length theory).     

Thermodynamic interactions in binary mixtures of anisole with ethanol, propan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, pentan-1-ol, and 3-methylbutan-1-ol at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K

In this paper, excess thermodynamic functions have been computed from the measured values of density, viscosity, and refractive index at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K, ultrasonic velocity at T = 298.15 K over the entire mixture composition range of (anisole with ethanol, propan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, pentan-1-ol, or 3-methyl butan-1-ol). Excess molar volume, V^E has been calculated from densities, whereas deviations in viscosity, Δη, were computed from the measured viscosities. From ultrasonic velocities, isentropic compressibilities were calculated, from which deviations in isentropic compressibility, Δk_s have been computed. Lorenz-Lorentz mixture rule was used to compute molar refractivity, R from refractivity index data and from these data, deviations in molar refractivity, ΔR have been computed. Computed thermodynamic quantities have been fitted to Redlich and Kister polynomial equation to derive the coefficients and standard errors between experimental and predicted quantities. Intermolecular interactions between anisole and alkanols have been studied based on the computed excess thermodynamic quantities.     

Thermodynamic properties of peptide solutions: 7. Partial molar isentropic pressure coefficients of some dipeptides in aqueous solution

The partial molar isentropic pressure coefficients at infinite dilution, K _S,2 ^o , have been determined for a number of dipeptides in aqueous solution at 25°C. For a series of dipeptides of sequence gly-X, where X is an amino acid with a neutral side chain, the K _S,2 ^o values are all more negative than that for diglycine. The results are discussed in terms of the hydration of the side chains. There are significant differences in the K _S,2 ^o values for sequence isomeric dipeptides. These differences can be rationalized in terms of the mutual interactions between the side chain and the ionic end groups in the dipeptides. Possible relationships between K _S,2 ^o and V ₂ ^o , the partial molar volume at infinite dilution, were investigated. For the dipeptides of sequence gly-X there is an interesting linear relationship between K _S,2 ^o /V ₂ ^o and V ₂ ^o .
