Zhu) Abstract In this paper, a phase-field model with viscoelastic effects is developed for polymer modified bitumen (PMB) with the aim to describe and predict the PMB storage stability and phase separation behaviour. The viscoelastic effects due to dynamic asymmetry between bitumen and polymer are represented in the model by introducing a composition-dependent mobility coefficient. A double-well potential for PMB system is proposed on the basis of the Flory-Huggins free energy of mixing, with some simplifying assumptions made to take into account the complex chemical composition of bitumen.

Whether determining the concentration of a species, evaluating an equilibrium constant, measuring a reaction rate, or drawing a correlation between a compound’s structure and its reactivity, analytical chemists engage in “measuring important chemical things.”1 In this section we briefly review the use of units and significant figures in analytical chemistry. 2A.1 Units of Measurement Some measurements, such as absorbance, A measurement usually consists of a unit and a number expressing the do not have units. Because the meaning of quantity of that unit. We may express the same physical measurement with a unitless number may be unclear, some authors include an artificial unit. It is not different units, which can create confusion. For example, the mass of a unusual to see the abbreviation AU, which sample weighing 1.5 g also may be written as 0.0033 lb or 0.053 oz.

    Lecture 3. The basic properties of the natural atmosphere Objectives: 1. Composition of air. 2. Pressure. 3. Temperature. 4. Density. 5. Concentration. Mole. Mixing ratio. 6. Gas laws. 7. Dry air and moist air. Readings: Turco: p.11-27, 38-43, 366-367, 490-492; Brimblecombe: p. 1-5 1. Composition of air. The word atmosphere derives from the Greek atmo (vapor) and spherios (sphere). The Earth’s atmosphere is a mixture of gases that we call air. Air usually contains a number of small particles (atmospheric aerosols), clouds of condensed water, and ice cloud. NOTE : The atmosphere is a thin veil of gases; if our planet were the size of an apple, its atmosphere would be thick as the apple peel. Some 80% of the mass of the atmosphere is within 10 km of the surface of the Earth, which has a diameter of about 12,742 km. The Earth’s atmosphere as a mixture of gases is characterized by pressure, temperature, and density which vary with altitude (will be discussed in Lecture 4). The atmosphere below about 100 km is called Homosphere. This part of the atmosphere consists of uniform mixtures of gases as illustrated in Table 3.1. 1 Table 3.1. The composition of air. Gases Fraction of air Constant gases Nitrogen, N2 78.08% Oxygen, O2 20.95% Argon, Ar 0.93% Neon, Ne 0.0018% Helium, He 0.0005% Krypton, Kr 0.00011% Xenon, Xe 0.000009% Variable gases Water vapor, H2O 4.0% (maximum, in the tropics) 0.00001% (minimum, at the South Pole) Carbon dioxide, CO2 0.0365% (increasing ~0.4% per year) Methane, CH4 ~0.00018% (increases due to agriculture) Hydrogen, H2 ~0.00006% Nitrous oxide, N2O ~0.00003% Carbon monoxide, CO ~0.000009% Ozone, O3 ~0.000001% - 0.0004% Fluorocarbon 12, CF2Cl2 ~0.00000005% Other gases 1% Oxygen 21% Nitrogen 78% 2 • Some gases in Table 3.1 are called constant gases because the ratio of the number of molecules for each gas and the total number of molecules of air do not change substantially from time to time or place to place.

  • Chemistry 1220 Chapter 17 Practice Exam
    Dr. Fus CHEM 1220 CHEMISTRY 1220 CHAPTER 17 PRACTICE EXAM All questions listed below are problems taken from old Chemistry 123 exams given here at The Ohio State University. Read Chapter 17.4 – 17.7 and complete the following problems. These problems will not be graded or collected, but will be very similar to what you will see on an exam. Ksp and Molar Solubility (Section 17.4) The solubility product expression equals the product of the concentrations of the ions involved in the equilibrium, each raised to the power of its coefficient in the equilibrium expression. For example: PbCl2(s) Pb2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) Ksp=[Pb2+] [Cl-]2 Why isn’t the concentration of PbCl2 in the denominator of the Ksp? Recall from Section 15.4 that whenever a pure solid or pure liquid is in a heterogeneous (multiple phases present) equilibrium, its concentration is not included in the equilibrium expression. 1. The solubility product expression for La2(CO3)3 is Ksp = ? First, write the equilibrium expression. The subscript following each atom in the solid is the number of ions of that atom in solution. The total charges must add to zero: La2(CO3)3(s) 2La3+(aq) + 3CO32-(aq) Given the information above and the equilibrium expression: Ksp=[La3+]2 [CO32-]3 2.

Polymer chains consisting of water-soluble polyacrylamides, hydrophobically modified with low amounts of N,N-dihexylacrylamide (1, 2, 3 and 4 mol%) were prepared via free radical micellar polymerization. The properties of these polymers, with respect to the concentration of hydrophobic groups, using steady-flow and oscillatory experiments were compared. An increase of relaxation time (TR) and modulus plateau (G0) was observed in all samples studied. Two different regimes can be clearly distinguished: a first unentangled regime where the viscosity increase rate strongly depends on hydrophobic content and a second entangled regime where the viscosity follows a scaling behavior of the polymer concentration with an exponent close to 4. Introduction Water-soluble polymers are of great interest from the scientific as well as the technological point of view. These polymers have been subjected to extensive research [1]. Water-soluble polymers are present in the composition of different types of industrial formulations as stabilizing, flocculants, absorbent, emulsifiers, thickeners, etc.

  • Mole Fraction - Wikipedia
    4/28/2020 Mole fraction - Wikipedia Mole fraction In chemistry, the mole fraction or molar fraction (xi) is defined as unit of the amount of a constituent (expressed in moles), ni divided by the total amount of all constituents in a mixture (also [1] expressed in moles), ntot: .These expression is given below:- The sum of all the mole fractions is equal to 1: The same concept expressed with a denominator of 100 is the mole percent or molar percentage or molar proportion (mol%). The mole fraction is also called the amount fraction.[1] It is identical to the number fraction, which is defined as the number of molecules of a constituent Ni divided by the total number of all molecules Ntot. The mole fraction is sometimes denoted by the lowercase Greek letter χ (chi) instead of a Roman x.[2][3] For mixtures of gases, IUPAC recommends the letter y.[1] The National Institute of Standards and Technology of the United States prefers the term amount-of- substance fraction over mole fraction because it does not contain the name of the unit mole.[4] Whereas mole fraction is a ratio of moles to moles, molar concentration is a quotient of moles to volume. The mole fraction is one way of expressing the composition of a mixture with a dimensionless quantity; mass fraction (percentage by weight, wt%) and volume fraction (percentage by volume, vol%) are others.

  • The Importance of the Mixing Energy in Ionized Superabsorbent Polymer Swelling Models
    polymers Article The Importance of the Mixing Energy in Ionized Superabsorbent Polymer Swelling Models Eanna Fennell 1,2 , Juliane Kamphus 3 and Jacques M. Huyghe 1,2,4,* 1 Bernal Institute, University of Limerick, Castletroy, V94 T9PX Limerick, Ireland; [email protected] 2 School of Engineering, University of Limerick, Castletroy, V94 T9PX Limerick, Ireland 3 Procter & Gamble Service GmbH, Sulzbacher Straße 40, 65824 Schwalbach am Taunus, Germany; [email protected] 4 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 November 2019; Accepted: 29 February 2020; Published: 7 March 2020 Abstract: The Flory–Rehner theoretical description of the free energy in a hydrogel swelling model can be broken into two swelling components: the mixing energy and the ionic energy. Conventionally for ionized gels, the ionic energy is characterized as the main contributor to swelling and, therefore, the mixing energy is assumed negligible. However, this assumption is made at the equilibrium state and ignores the dynamics of gel swelling. Here, the influence of the mixing energy on swelling ionized gels is quantified through numerical simulations on sodium polyacrylate using a Mixed Hybrid Finite Element Method. For univalent and divalent solutions, at initial porosities greater than 0.90, the contribution of the mixing energy is negligible. However, at initial porosities less than 0.90, the total swelling pressure is significantly influenced by the mixing energy. Therefore, both ionic and mixing energies are required for the modeling of sodium polyacrylate ionized gel swelling. The numerical model results are in good agreement with the analytical solution as well as experimental swelling tests.
