The title compound, C(31)H(34)N(2)O(9), is a product of the Michael addition of the cyclic secondary amine subunit of the (bis-pidino)aza-14-crown-4 ether to dimethyl acetyl-ene-dicarboxyl-ate. The mol-ecule comprises a tricyclic system containing the aza-14-crown-3 ether macrocycle and two six-membered piperidinone rings. The aza-14-crown-3-ether ring adopts a bowl conformation with a dihedral...

Statistical rate theory calculations, in particular formulations of the chemical master equation, are widely used to calculate rate coefficients of interest in combustion environments as a function of temperature and pressure. However, despite the increasing accuracy of electronic structure calculations, small uncertainties in the input parameters for these master equation models can lead to re...

On the basis of its properties, ethanol has been identified as most used biofuel because remarkable contribution in reducing emissions carbon dioxide which are source greenhouse gas and prompt climate change or global warming worldwide. The use a new reduces dependence on conventional gasoline, thus showing decreasing pattern production every year. This article contains an updated overview rece...

The third-order nonlinear-optical susceptibility of dimethyl ether, (CH3)2O, has been measured in the gas phase over the wavelength range 488 nm < λ < 1064 nm using the technique of gas-phase electric-field-induced second-harmonic generation with periodic phase matching and with N2 as the reference gas. Measurements span a range of temperature, which allows for separation of the temperature-ind...

The viscosities of dimethyl ether (DME, C2H6O) and of the fluorinated propene isomers 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf, C3H2F4) and trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R1234ze(E)) were measured in a combined temperature range from 242 K to 350 K at saturated liquid conditions. The instrument was a sealed gravitational capillary viscometer developed at NIST for volatile liquids. Calibration ...

Sorption-enhanced gasification (SEG) is a promising technology for producing renewable feedstock gas to be used in biofuel synthesis processes, especially dimethyl ether (DME) synthesis. To adopt the on commercial scale, it necessary acquire knowledge about related operational characteristics. The SEG process carried out at lower temperatures than those employed conventional gasifiers. A typica...
