Hydrogenation reaction with n-heptane on Pt/Al2O3 catalyst was investigated under the steady state condition in a fixed bed reactor. The catalyst was prepared under a variety of conditions, but the one chosen was non-acidic that is not considered a hydrocracking catalyst. The main objective was to vary the selectivity of n-heptane as a function of reaction variables es...

Two novel BODIPY (pyrromethene, PM) dyes containing N-ethyl carbazole at the meso position are synthesized and their photophysical properties in different solvents and the photochemical stabilities and laser performances in n-heptane are investigated. The n-heptane solution of the dyes was used as a gain medium in a constructed narrow band dye laser, pumped by a Q-switched (10 Hz) frequency-dou...

We report studies of the evaporation and discharge dynamics of highly charged droplets generated by electrospray ionization from n-heptane, n-octane, and p-xylene doped with Stadis-450, a conductivity-enhancing agent. A phase Doppler anemometer (PDA) characterizes individual droplets moving through the uniform electric field within an ion mobility cell according to size, velocity, and charge. R...

«-heptane has been effectively used to prepare arteficial bilayer membranes. The viscoelastic and/or mechanical properties of the arteficial membranes vary with changes in the lipid/organic solvent ratio (Hianik et al. 1984). Also changes in cell membrane fluidity are known to correlate with the activities of certain membrane-bound enzymes (Yuli et al. 1981; Stubbs and Smith 1984). membrane rec...

In this work, the desulfurization ability of alkyl-piperidinium-based and phosphonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) for (thiophene or benzothiophene + heptane) mixtures are studied. With this aim, ternary liquid-liquid phase equilibrium data (LLE) have been obtained for mixtures of {IL (1) + thiophene, or benzothiophene (2) + heptane (3)} at T = 308.15 K and p = 101.33 kPa. For this study 1-pentyl-...

The stoichiometric reaction of para-methoxyanilines and B(C6F5)3 under H2 results in reduction of the N-bound phenyl ring(s), and subsequent transannular ring closure with elimination of methanol, affording the respective 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives.

In the context of the search for gasoline surrogates for kinetic modeling purpose, this paper describes a new model for the low-temperature auto-ignition of n-heptane/iso-octane/hexene/toluene blends for the different linear isomers of hexene. The model simulates satisfactory experimental results obtained in a rapid compression machine for temperatures ranging from 650 to 850 K in the case of b...

An experimental and numerical investigation of prevaporized n-heptane nitrogen-diluted nonpremixed flames is reported. The major objective is to provide well-resolved experimental data regarding the structure and emission characteristics of these flames, including profiles of major species (N2, O2, C7H16, CO2, CO, H2), hydrocarbon intermediates (CH4, C2H4, C2H2, C3Hx), and soot precursors (C6H6...

The accurate knowledge of transport properties of pure and mixture fluids is essential for the design of various chemical and mechanical systems that include fluxes of mass, momentum, and energy. In this study we determine the mutual diffusion coefficients of mixtures composed of heptane isomers and nitrogen using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with fully atomistic intermolecular potential...
