Melting Metal Flow Meter

Eutectic melting in metal borohydrides.

A series of monometallic borohydrides and borohydride eutectic mixtures have been investigated during thermal ramping by mass spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and photography. Mixtures of LiBH4-NaBH4, LiBH4-KBH4, LiBH4-Mg(BH4)2, LiBH4-Ca(BH4)2, LiBH4-Mn(BH4)2, NaBH4-KBH4, and LiBH4-NaBH4-KBH4 all displayed melting behaviour below that of the monometallic phases (up to 167 °C low...

In Line Flow-meter Calibration

Comparison of the new miniature Wright peak flow meter with the standard Wright peak flow meter.

Preproduction and current models of the miniature Wright peak flow meter have been compared with the standard Wright peak flow meter on normal and abnormal subjects. Early problems in production appear to have been overcome, and the current model agrees to within 3% with the standard peak flow meter, which is as close as the agreement between two standard instruments. The new mini-meter may be ...

Melting and freezing of metal clusters.

Recent developments allow heat capacities to be measured for size-selected clusters isolated in the gas phase. For clusters with tens to hundreds of atoms, the heat capacities determined as a function of temperature usually have a single peak attributed to a melting transition. The melting temperatures and latent heats show large size-dependent fluctuations. In some cases, the melting temperatu...
