Catalysis
This metal-containing catalyst is used to enhance the rates of the half-reactions that comprise a fuel cell.
What is electrocatalyst?
This instrument produces images of a sample by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons.
What is scanning electron microscope?
Flow that does not follow Newton's law of viscosity.
What is non-Newtonian flow.
An organometallic chemical reaction in which carbon alkyl, allyl, vinyl, or aryl magnesium halides are added to the carbonyl groups of either an aldehyde or ketone.
What is the Grignard reaction?
This diagram plots the total heat against entropy, describing the enthalpy of a thermodynamic system.
What is a Mollier Diagram?
This added substance can cover up catalytic surface to actively remove or prevent production of a mat of coke during carbon catalysis.
What are promoters?
This instrument measured the flow rate of a fluid in a closed tube.
What is a rotameter?
Fluid motion characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and flow velocity.
What is turbulent flow?
Physical phenomenon in which nuclei in a strong constant magnetic field are perturbed by a weak oscillating magnetic field and respond by producing an electromagnetic signal.
What is nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)?
Graphical representation of the Michaelis–Menten equation of enzyme kinetics.
What is the Lineweaver-Burk Plot?
A parameter used to quantify the activity of a catalyst, also known as the number of molecules reacting per active site per second at the conditions of the experiment.
What is the turnover frequency?
Removes low-boiling organic chemicals, usually solvents, from a mixture of compounds.
What is a rotevap?
A type of fluid flow where advective inertial forces are small compared with viscous forces.
What is Stokes (or creeping) flow?
The enthalpy change of any amount of substance when it melts.
What is the latent heat of fusion?
Dimensionless ratio of a characteristic liquid residence time to the reaction time.
What is the Damkohler number?
This mechanism details how two molecules adsorb on neighboring sites and the adsorbed molecules undergo a bimolecular reaction.
What is the Langmuir-Hinselwood mechanism?
Analytical instrument designed to control the working electrode's potential in a multiple-electrode electrochemical cell
What is a potentiostat?
The flow is characterized by Reynolds numbers less than 2000.
What is laminar flow?
Cellular process that harnesses the reduction of oxygen to generate high-energy phosphate bonds in the form of adenosine triphosphate.
What is oxidative phosphorylation?
Used to determine the temperature driving force for heat transfer in flow systems, most notably in heat exchangers
What is the log-mean temperature difference?
This is the name of the SI unit for measuring "catalytic activity".
What is a "katal" (mol/sec)?
Mechanical equipment used for reducing material to extremely small thicknesses
What is a Four Roll Mill?
The flow of a viscous fluid in the space between two surfaces, one of which is moving tangentially relative to the other.
What is Couette's Flow?
Chemical reaction between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene, commonly termed the dienophile, to form a substituted cyclohexene derivative.
What is the Diels-Alder reaction?
If the slope is 16/Reynolds number, it's the Fanning factor, or if the slope is 64/Reynolds number, it is this.
What is the Darcy (or Darcy-Weisbach) friction factor?
