In this work the effect of electrolytes on hydrate formation was investigated. To do so, a new model was used in predicting the hydrate formation conditions in presence of both single and mixed electrolyte solutions. The new model is based on the van der Waals - Platteeuw hydrate equation of state. In order to evaluate the values for the activity of water in electrolyte solutions t...

freezing injury is an important limiting factor in the production of pomegranate in iran.the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of paclobutrazol (pbz) on cold hardiness of pomegranate (punica granatum l.) cv. ‘malas saveh’. different concentrations of pbz including 0 (control), 31, 62, 125 or 250 mg l–1 were sprayed on one-year-old plants in august and the electrolyte leakage o...

results two weeks after transplantation, the mean tpe decreased to 0.052 ± 0.002, which was significant compared to pre-hd (p < 0.001) and post-hd (p = 0.019). the mean tpec was 0.059 ± 0.002, which, just in comparison to pre-hd, was significant (p = 0.005). in addition, the mean tpe/qt decreased to 0.143 ± 0.005, which was significant compared to pre-hd (p = 0.018). the mean qtd was 0.066 ± 0....

Adaptation of the brown trout to fresh water containing increasing concentrations of calcium resulted in a decrease in plasma electrolyte level and total electrolyte excretion. The electrolyte excretion rate was higher at the beginning than at the end of the urine collection periods. Hypophysectomized fish had a lower plasma electrolyte concentration than the controls. This deficiency was parti...

Solid polymer electrolyte system, polyethylene oxide (PEO) complexed with potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) salt was prepared by solution-cast technique. Several experimental techniques such as infrared radiation (IR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and composition dependence conductivity, temperature dependence conductivity in the temperature range of 308–368 K and transport number measu...

This experiment was carried out for a period of 4 weeks with 240 day old straight- run broiler (Cobb-500) chicks to investigate the effects of administering electrolytes in drinking water on the productive performance (live weight, body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion and water consumption) and to determine the economic impact of using electrolytes. The chicks were randomly distr...

Recent advances in modeling thermodynamic and transport properties of electrolyte solutions are reviewed. In particular, attention is focused on mixed-solvent electrolyte models, equations of state for high-temperature and supercritical electrolyte systems and transport property models for multicomponent, concentrated solutions. The models are analyzed with respect to their capability of comput...

This paper shows an influence of chemical composition of used electrolyte, such as amount of sulphuric acid in electrolyte, amount of aluminium cations in electrolyte and amount of oxalic acid in electrolyte, and operating parameters of process of anodic oxidation of aluminium such as the temperature of electrolyte, anodizing time, and voltage applied during anodizing process. The paper shows t...

The supply and the management of the energy are particularly at the centre of our daily concerns and represent a socio-economic priority. Indeed, while cars use fossil fuel as the main source of energy for over a century, the depletion of the oil reserves and the necessity to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions, stimulate the development of electric vehicles. Therefore, one of the main challeng...

Abnormal total body and serum electrolyte concentrations are common in protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). The subject of electrolyte metabolism in PEM was studied in depth in the 1960s and early 1970s but has seldom been investigated in the past decade. Electrolyte status has been assessed by a variety of methods, including electrolyte concentrations in serum, urine, or muscle tissue; external ...
