-lactide:trimethylene carbonate (DLL:TMC) molar feed ratios of 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80, and 0:100. Number average molecular weights were in the range (2.3–2.6) × 103 g mol−1. The prepolymers were free-radically crosslinked in the absence of reactive diluents to give amorphous, bioabsorbable networks with a broad range of thermal, mechanical, and degradative properties. Extraction studies indicated that sol-contents ranged from 2.89%–6.17%. Tensile modulus, ultimate strength, and Tg increased with increasing

A 40:60 DLL:TMC network fit perfectly within the series of compositions with regard to modulus and tensile strengh; however, it showed a yield point, followed by a regime of plastic flow prior to break.

Four two-parameter mixing rules are presented along with expressions for the fugacity coefficient and compressibility factor obtained when they are used in conjunction with the Peng-Robinson equation of state. A comparison of the forms of these expressions and results obtained in the prediction of VLE for nine systems with these temperature-, pressure-, density-, and composition-dependent rules provides a guideline for the applicability, advantages and disadvantages of each. Excellent results were obtained, especially in the near critical region, when these simple pressure- and density-dependent rules were used to describe P-x data. The density-dependent mixing rule consistently yielded better predictions of VLE over a range of temperatures (using parameters obtained at a single temperature) than the results obtained by optimizing the interaction parameter of conventional mixing rule at each temperature. The composition-dependent rule was slightly less effective for most systems, but for highly polar, asymmetric systems, this rule was superior 相似文献
The effects of three series of unsaturated polyester (UP) resins with different chemical composition or structure on the mechanical properties of three low-shrink UP resins containing thermoplastic polyurethane, poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(methyl methacrylate) respectively have been investigated by an integrated approach of static phase characteristics–cured sample morphology–reaction conversion–property measurements. The three series of UP resins synthesized include: maleic anhydride (MA)–neopentyl glycol (NPG)–diethylene glycol (DEG) types, with various molar ratios of NPG and DEG; MA–1,2-propylene glycol (PG) types with and without modification by a saturated dibasic aromatic anhydride or acid, such as phthalic anhydride (PA) or isophthalic acid; and MA–PA–PG types modified by a second glycol, such as DEG, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol or NPG, to partially replace PG. Based on the Takayanagi mechanical models, the effects of glycol ratios, saturated dibasic aromatic acid modification, second glycol modification, C=C unsaturation of UP and molecular weight of UP on the mechanical properties will be discussed. 相似文献
A cold generation system featuring a Rankine cycle powered refrigeration cycle actuated by a supersonic ejector was theoretically investigated in view of the thermo-fluid-dynamic optimization of the working fluid characteristics.
The ejector model was validated against well established performance charts relating to water. A reference system was considered in which a Rankine cycle at moderate top temperature delivers its expansion power by means of an ideal turbine to an ideal compressor of a refrigeration cycle. Two main optimizing variables were ascertained: the fluid critical temperature and the complexity of the fluid molecule. The best performance of such reference cycle is around 80% of that of an ideal fully reversible, Carnot cycle based, system (COP of 2.0 for tE,PC = 150 °C, tE,RC = 5 °C, and tC = 35 °C). As easily predictable the ejector compression introduces severe losses mainly due to the normal shock and the mixing of the motive and of the driven fluid. Overall COP for the above quoted temperatures decreases from 2.0 (reference cycle) to 0.4–0.7. The optimization of the working fluid showed that comparatively low critical temperatures are favoured and that a fluid complexity similar to that of CH5N or CH2Cl2 gives the best performance. A detailed losses analysis explains this behaviour. In particular at low reduced temperatures the theoretical gain related to the better shape in the T–S plane of both the power and the refrigeration cycle is more than offset by the higher ejector losses due to the stronger normal shock needed to cope with an increased pressure ratio.
Notwithstanding an extensive fluid screening we did not succeed in finding a fluid that could be considered optimum from all points of view including ambient and safety issues. However, a number of traditional (non-zero ODP) chloro-fluoro-carbons and of new (zero ODP) refrigerants were found that yield, on the whole, a satisfactory performance.
Provided calculated COP will be confirmed by experimental testing, ejector powered refrigerators could compete with absorption systems in many applications. 相似文献
Mungbean is a widely consumed legume globally. This study was carried out for detailed characterization of oils from mungbean
seeds from four indigenously cultivated varieties, as very little information is available on the oil composition of mungbean
seeds and inter-varietal variation in oil composition. The oil content was relatively low (2.1–2.7%). The investigated physiochemical
parameters included refractive indices (RI) at 40 °C (1.4673–1.4698), relative density (0.9580–0.9618), iodine value (IV)
(111.4 –117.1), saponification value (SV) (173.1–181.7 mg KOH/g) and unsaponifiable matter (UM) (13.8–15.01%). Phospholipids
and triglycerides were the dominant lipid fractions followed by monoglycerides. Linoleic acid and oleic acid were the dominant
fatty acids (FA). Characterization was also made by TLC. Tocopherol analysis demonstrated highest content of γ-tocopherol
among its isomers, while α-tocotrienol was present in highest amount in all studied cultivars, among its isomers. Results
from most of the parameters revealed significant (P ≤ 0.05) differences among the cultivars. The findings of the study reveal mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) wilczek], to be a potentially valuable legume crop with comparable nutritional quality oil among all the cultivars. 相似文献
