Effects of Melamine Addition Stage on the Performance and Curing Behavior of Melamine-Urea-Formaldehyde (MUF) Resin

TL;DR: The results showed that melamine addition and the addition stage had significant influences on the characteristics of resins.

A comparative study of black mulberry juice concentrates by thermal evaporation and osmotic distillation as influenced by storage

TL;DR: In this paper, black mulberry juice was concentrated using thermal evaporation and osmotic distillation after clarification and pasteurization, and the main quality parameters of the concentrates were comparatively investigated after reconstitution with different storage times and temperatures.

Optimization of green extraction of phytochemicals from red grape pomace by homogenizer assisted extraction

TL;DR: Grape pomace is a byproduct that contains high amounts of phytochemicals such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and anthocyanins as mentioned in this paper.

Determination of the thermal hazard and decomposition behaviors of 2,2′-azobis-(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile)

TL;DR: In this article, a 2,2′-azobis-(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (ABVN) is shown to have a higher reactivity than other azo compounds, and its thermal decomposition characteristics are discussed based on a literature review and results from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and accelerating rate calorimietry (ARC).
Journal ArticleDOI

When Rate Constants Are Not Enough.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define pragmatic diagnostics useful for identifying non-steady state energy distributions (NSED) conditions in stochastic master equation simulations for four classes of common combustion species: RO2 radicals, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alkyl radicals and polyaromatic radicals.

Quantum Statistical Mechanical Theory of the Rate of Exchange Chemical Reactions in the Gas Phase

TL;DR: In this article, a theory of the reaction rate of simple exchange reactions in the gas phase is developed on the basis of the quantum statistical mechanical theory of linear irreversible processes due to Kubo et al.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies in Nonequilibrium Rate Processes. I. The Relaxation of a System of Harmonic Oscillators

TL;DR: In this article, the collisional and radiative relaxation of a system of harmonic oscillators contained in a constant temperature heat bath and prepared initially in a vibrational nonequilibrium distribution was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

General Collision Theory Treatment for the Rate of Bimolecular, Gas Phase Reactions

TL;DR: In this article, a collisional approach was used to obtain a general expression for the rate of a bimolecular chemical reaction in terms of reaction cross sections, where a Boltzmann velocity distribution may be assumed for the reactants.

Some Deductions from a Formal Statistical Mechanical Theory of Chemical Kinetics

John Ross, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a perturbation solution of an assumed Boltzmann-type equation for bimolecular chemical reactions in a homogeneous gas phase consisting of molecules with or without internal degrees of freedom, leads to the conclusion that the law of mass action as well as the usually assumed phenomenological rate expressions for chemical reactions, is strictly valid only in lowest order of the perturbations.

Theory of Vibrational Relaxation in Liquids

TL;DR: In this paper, a new formulation of the theory of vibrational relaxation based on Zener's semiclassical approximation is presented, and the relaxation rate is shown to be proportional to the spectral density of the force exerted on the oscillator by its environment.
