Effect of Temperature and Agitation

Mixing.

“…Hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis operations were discussed by O'Boyle (26), and he gives a description and drawings for sev- eral large scale hydrogenators using mixing impellers to distribute gas, mix the liquid, and transfer heat. Dwyer and co-workers (10,11) report results of their studies on the desorption of unreacted isoprene from synthetic rubber latex. They show the effect of mixing variables on the desorption rate.…”

An improved concept in solubility parameter theory applied in amorphous polymers. I. Poly(ethyl methacrylate)

“…Analysis and identification of intermolecular forces between two physically and chemically different molecules provides a sound basis for selecting solvents for polymers. Therefore, we extend our study of molecular interactions (6,7) to develop an effective method for estimation of the solubility of polymeric substances in candidate solvents and also to compare the results from this proposed approach with those obtained from well established and related thermodynamic theories.…”
