A simple and mild procedure for the conversion of anilines into aryl isocyanates is described using the 3-hydroxypropylammonium acetate (HPAA) ionic liquid as a novel and efficient media has been explored in the synthesis of aryl isocyanates from the reaction of substituted urea with sodium nitrite in a water immiscible solvent. This ionic liquid can be easily recovered and reused for many time...

A capillary tube is widely used as an expansion device for small refrigeration cycles. Recently, immiscible oil is sometimes used in the refrigeration cycle to improve severe lubricating conditions and to prevent blockage of the capillary tube caused by the hydrolysis of ester oil. This paper discusses the influence of mixing of the immiscible oil with the refrigerant on the flow characteristic...

Buoyancy is a well-known effect in immiscible binary Bose-Einstein condensates. Depending on the differential confinement experienced by two components, bubble of one component sitting at center other eventually floats to surface, around which it spreads either totally or partially. We discuss how quantum fluctuations may significantly change volume and position bubbles. consider particular cas...

Stemming from MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical System) developments, designs and fabrication technology, packaged microfluidic chips – used first for biological and chemical analysis (μTAS, Micro Total Analysis Systems) – were modified to perform chemical syntheses (1). In addition, chip devices for the mixing of miscible or immiscible fluids offered a novel means for the processing of this unit op...

An achiral double-swallow tailed tetracatenar compound forms a re-entrant isotropic liquid between a bicontinuous cubic phase and a nematic liquid crystalline phase. This isotropic liquid was found to represent a conglomerate of two immiscible chiral liquids. The chirality is retained and eventually becomes uniform at the transition to the cubic I432 phase.
