Abstract
Thermal characteristics and rheological behaviour of eight crude oils covered a wide range of fluid composition and properties were studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and viscometry. Wax appearance temperatures (WAT) of crude oils were determined by DSC and viscometry. Good agreement is obtained between the results. The dynamic viscosity in the Newtonian temperature range of the crude oils (above 30C) generally obeyed a simple first-order Arrhenius type of temperature dependence. Activation energies of flow in the non-Newtonian range are not uniquely defined.
Abstract
In this research, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gas chromatography is used to determine the wax content of fourteen crude oils of different sources. Different empirical equations were applied to compare the wax content of crude oils. For the fourteen crude oil samples with the wax content ranging from 7.5 to 43.8 mass%, it was observed that the results of empirical equations were in good agreement with those determined by DSC and GC. Accordingly, a correlation between ASTM pour point and the temperature at which 2 mass% of wax has precipitated out from crude oil is developed.
A thermal method connects the solid-liquid surface tensionγ/s of a substance to its triple point temperature depression. Here a practical process for application of this method is described. A previous determination of the thickness of the condensate layer which does not freeze near the wall of the porous material is no longer necessary. The process is applied to some organic substances and to a metal (indium).
The thermal dissociation of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs alcoholates and their respective solvates has been studied by DTA and TG coupled with a gas analysis device. The reaction of decomposition is complex, and hydrogen and ethylene are evolved. The solid residue is a mixture of several compounds.
The non-equilibrium region of the phase diagramxLiCl-(1−x)H2O (0<x< 0.18) has been studied by means of a Mettler TA 2000 B heat flow differential scanning calorimeter. The metastable lines of the diagram have been established and the different phases obtained explained. A region has been found where the glass formed cannot recrystallize, the eutectic line being below the temperature of the transition glass.
Abstract
Thermal characteristics of eight crude oils and their treatment with additives were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomicroscopy, viscometer and pour point tester. Different additives were found as more effective for different type of crude oils depending on the wax content. Crude oils showed a reduced pour point after treatment with additives. Effects of different additives were also discussed by analysing the DSC curves and thermomicroscopy result.
Caracterisation par analyse calorimetrique differentielle des complexes entre LiAlH4 et les ethers-couronnes 12-C-4, 15-C-5, dicyclohexano-18-C-6
Comportement thermique des phases solides et de certains de leurs solvates avec le benzène
The thermal behaviour of complexes [Li+-EC](AlH4)− withEC=12-C-4, 15-C-5, DC 18-C-6 (cis-anti-cis andcis-syn-cis isomers) was investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). These complexes were prepared as solids from benzene solutions. Pure EC and several solvated species [Li+-EC](AlH4)−·nC6H6 (EC=15-C-5, DC 18-C-6syn) were also studied. DSC has revealed various phenomena. Solid-solid transitions were observed before melting for [Li+-EC](AlH4)− withEC=12-C-4 and 15-C-5. They are probably explained by small molecular modifications strongly dependent on the thermal history of the sample. A glass-transition was found for the pure crown-ether DC 18-C-6anti, the complex [Li+-EC](A1H4)− withEC=DC-18-C-6anti and the two solvates mentioned above.
Study and characterization of molecular complexes between cholesterol and beta cyclodextrin has been done using X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C NMR). Whatever the value of the molar ratio cholesterol/βCD used during the preparation, the same compound is always obtained. Corresponding to a molar ratio 1/3 (cholesterol/βCD), this compound is a stable hydrate which, contrary toβCD, contains at room temperature a large amount of molecules of water. It can be dehydrated under low pressure but the thermal degradation occurs at 200°C (250°C forβCD). This implies that cholesterol is strongly bounded toβCD.
