IT is well known that the adiabatic compressibility β ψ of a liquid increases fairly rapidly with rise in temperature. The rise becomes more rapid as the temperature increases. With many liquids the ...

An adiabatic cooling tower system can save great amounts of water at power plants compared to typical wet-type cooling towers. While there are challenges to implementation, understanding how these ...

This article details a new approach for characterizing gas evolution in lithium-ion batteries, improving safety assessments ...

In pressure relief systems, accurately estimating temperature changes during fluid flow is vital for relief piping ...

The Phi-TEC I is an adiabatic calorimeter that enables the characterization of thermal runaway hazards during process development and scale-up. The Phi-TEC I replicates industrial (large volume) ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 203, No. 1074 (Oct. 10, 1950), pp. 375-391 (17 pages) Thermodynamic measurements have been made at ...

Researchers in China have shown that applying strain to a composite material using an electric field induces a large and reversible caloric effect. This novel way of enhancing the caloric effect ...

Calorimetry measures the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. It is a beneficial and powerful tool that accurately evaluates chemical processes, helps researchers assess ...
