TL;DR: In this article, temperature, pressure, and composition measurements are reported for the three coexisting phases in the region of the tricritical points of two ternary mixtures of hydrocarbons.
Abstract: Temperature, pressure, and composition measurements are reported for the three coexisting phases in the region of the tricritical points of two ternary mixtures of hydrocarbons: methane+n‐pentane+2,3‐dimethylbutane (I) and methane+2,2‐dimethylbutane+2,3‐dimethylbutane (II). These systems satisfy a ’’quasibinary’’ approximation in which the proportions of the two higher hydrocarbons [expressed as Z = xC/(xB+xC)] are the same in each of the three phases, so that the phase equilibrium is equivalent to that in a binary system with a solute of average properties. Least‐squares analysis does not locate the tricritical point with high precision, but all the measurements are consistent with the predictions of the phenomenological theory that the exponents governing the approach to the tricritical point are the ’’classical’’ mean‐field values. If, in accord with this view, we write the difference between the upper and lower critical‐end‐point temperatures (i.e., extent of the three‐phase region) as Tu−Tl = B(Z−Zt)...

TL;DR: Binary compositions over the entire range of compositions of the Ag-Pd system are characterized by anodic polarization in Ringer's solution and alternate immersion in 0.5% Na 2S solution.
Abstract: Binary compositions over the entire range of compositions of the Ag-Pd system are characterized by anodic polarization in Ringer's solution and alternate immersion in 0.5% Na 2S solution. The results show that a wide range of protection and passivation tendencies are introduced with Pd alloying of Ag.

TL;DR: Some problems connected with low-mass binary evolution (from contact binaries to cataclysmic variables and origin of bursters) are considered in this article, where the angular momentum loss by magnetic braking may, at least partly, control the contact binary evolution.

TL;DR: In this article, a theory of freezing of the alkali halides is developed, which is based on the basic equations of classical statistical mechanics relating the singlet densities p1 and p2 of a binary system to the three partial direct correlation functions cij.
Abstract: Using the basic equations of classical statistical mechanics relating the singlet densities p1 and p2 of a binary system to the three partial direct correlation functions cij , a theory of freezing is developed. Though the theory is set up for arbitrary concentration, we focus on the freezing of the alkali halides. In particular, we show that periodic solutions of the equations for p1 and p2 can coexist with homogeneous solutions. The difference in free energy between periodic and homogeneous phases is built up in terms of (i) the volume difference and (ii) the Fourier components of p1 , p2 and cij . To lowest order, it is stressed that the freezing transition is determined by the charge-charge structure factor at its principal peak and by the compressibility.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed progress made over the last decade in the understanding of the binary X-ray pulsars and discussed the characteristics of the pulse profiles of the known binary pulsars, and observed variations in pulse period corresponding to the spin-up of the neutron star are considered.
Abstract: Progress made over the last decade in the understanding of the binary X-ray pulsars is reviewed. The characteristics of the pulse profiles of the known binary X-ray pulsars are discussed, and observed variations in pulse period corresponding to the spin-up of the neutron star are considered. Determinations of the orbits and binary system parameters of the binary X-ray pulsars from measurements of pulse arrival times are then examined. Attention is also given to current problems in binary X-ray pulsars, including the apsidal motion test, which allows the determination of the mass distribution within a star, the X-ray source 4U 1626-67, which is believed to be a highly compact binary X-ray source, and the observation of very faint X-ray pulsars with the Einstein Observatory.

Abstract: A number of physical properties of the binary system ethylene glycol and ethyl salicylate have been measured recently. Thus measured values of surface tensions and vapor pressures as functions of composition and temperature are available, and from these may be calculated the Gibbs surface excesses of ethyl salicylate in solutions represented in the phase diagram by the one-phase area. The results of these calculations can be expressed as a series of cosorption contours superimposed on the phase diagram, showing maximum surface activity at a point (epicenter) on the co-existence curve. The epicenter would coincide with the consolute point only when the surface tensions of the two pure liquid components are equal: usually they are not equal, so that the epicenter of the contours is displaced on the co-existence curve toward the component of higher surface tension. This work reports the foam stabilities of solutions for which Gibbs surface excess concentrations are known. The foam stability contours (isaphro...

TL;DR: Differential scanning calorimetry on the two-component system of dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride (DOAC) water was carried out in the temperature region from 80 °C down to -100 °C as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Differential scanning calorimetry on the two-component system of dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride (DOAC)–water was carried out in the temperature region from 80 °C down to -100 °C. As the result, a new type of glassy state was found around at -40 °C for the supercooled complete gel phase.

TL;DR: In this article, the Wilson equation was used to predict the liquid phase activity coefficients in binary systems formed from 1-octene,cis-4-octenes andtrans-4 octenes with methyl cellosolve (2-methoxyethanol), 1-butanol and tetrachloroethene.
Abstract: Measurements of isobaric temperature—liquid composition are reported in the binary systems formed from 1-octene,cis-4-octene andtrans-4-octene with methyl cellosolve (2-methoxyethanol), 1-butanol and tetrachloroethene at pressures of 760 and 200 mm Hg (101.325 and 26.664 kPa). These systems have minimum boiling azeotropes. TheWilson equation is used to predict the liquid phase activity coefficients. The γ i −χ i functions thus obtained are compared in the systems containing a solvent common to the three isomericn-octenes.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of Krupkowski's concept of predicting thermodynamic properties of multicomponent solutions from respective binaries is presented, based on the assumption that the logarithm of the activity coefficient of one component in the binary system can be represented by the formula ln ⁡ γ 2 = A (T ) N 1 m − B ( T ) n 1 m + 1.
Abstract: An extension of Krupkowski's concept of predicting thermodynamic properties of multicomponent solutions from respective binaries is presented. The present work is based on the assumption that the logarithm of the activity coefficient of one component in the binary system can be represented by the formula ln ⁡ γ 2 = A ( T ) N 1 m − B ( T ) N 1 m + 1 This method allows satisfactory descriptions of binary and higher order systems that exhibit negative deviation from ideality. The following examples are given, Mg Bi, Mg Sb and Sb Te In.

TL;DR: In this paper, the isobaricisothermal potential, heat, and entropy of formation of the suicide Mn3Si have been determined for the binary system Mn-Si at silicon contents ranging from 25 to 37.5 at.
Abstract: X-ray phase analyses and measurements of the emfs of concentration galvanic cells have demonstrated that Mn3Si and Mn5Si3 are the only compounds coexisting in the binary system Mn-Si at silicon contents ranging from 25 to 37.5 at. %; Mn5Si2 does not form under these conditions. The isobaricisothermal potential, heat, and entropy of formation of the suicide Mn3Si have been redetermined.

TL;DR: In this article, the surface tension of triethylamine-water was determined by standard methods, and the most interesting result is that of surface tension which indicates that, in the case of the binary system triethyllamine and water, a surface layer of constant composition is formed over a wide range of total composition, and when a rise in temperature of two or three degrees, this layer becomes unstable, it splits into two phases of different composition.
Abstract: The properties named in the title have been determined by standard methods. Viscosity, molar volume, and orientation polarisation all indicate abnormalities of the nature of association between the components.The most interesting result is that of surface tension which indicates that, in the case of the binary system triethylamine–water, a surface layer of constant composition is formed over a wide range of total composition. When, by a rise in temperature of two or three degrees, this layer becomes unstable, it splits into two phases of different composition. The surface layer may then be instantaneously reformed and so on. A mechanism for the generation of a two-phase system is thus established. The data for the three-phase, isothermal, system are not so convincing, for reasons that are suggested.

TL;DR: In this article, the size and free energy of the two-dimensional nucleus corresponding to a saddle point in binary system are derived and the velocity of the straight step in the A-B crystal-binary solution interface is found.
Abstract: A two-dimensional nucleation is required to grow the crystals of low energy planes. Expressions for the size and free energy of the two-dimensional nucleus corresponding to a saddle point in binary system are derived. The concentration of the critical nuclei in the system is related to the critical free energy of the two-dimensional nucleus. A circular island of atoms on the growing surface is considered and the flux of atoms on the surface going to the growing walls of the island from either direction is calculated. The rate of advance of the curved step is determined and hence the velocity of the straight step in the A-B crystal-binary solution interface is found.
