The Effectof Temperature On The Dynmaic Viscosity Of Acetone Sunflower-Seed Oil Mixtures, Hüseyin Topallar, Yüksel Bayrak Jan 1998

The Effectof Temperature On The Dynmaic Viscosity Of Acetone Sunflower-Seed Oil Mixtures, Hüseyin Topallar, Yüksel Bayrak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The effect of acetone on the dynamic viscosity of sunflower-seed oil was studied under a dynamic heating regime at temeparuters ranging from 25^oC to 50^oC at 5^oC intervals. Acetone dramatically reduced the viscosity of sunflower-seed oil. The reduction of viscosity was far less with further addition of acetone. A linear relationship was found between the density of sunflower-seed oil and temperature. The influence of a solvent on the density of the sunflower-seed oil/acetone solution can be accounted for by the mixing theory of ideal solutions, whereas the effect of temperature on the dynamic viscosity of the oil solution is best …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The di- and tri-organotin complexes of general formula R$_2$SnL$_2$ and R$_3$SnL where R = C$_4$H$_9$, C$_6$H$_5$, C$_6$H$_5$CH$_2$, C$_6$H$_{11}$ and L=1-nitroso-2-naphthol, were subjected to thermal decomposition by means of thermogravimetry (TG). The decomposition occurred in steps and the kinetics of every set of reactions were determined using the method described by Coats and Redfern. These results were analysed to establish the decomposition kinetics and hence to calculate activation energies. The activation energies were also determined by applying the method described by Horowitz, which yielded comparable results.


On The Türker Angles In The Theory Of Total \Pi-Electron Energy, Ivan Gutman Jan 1998

On The Türker Angles In The Theory Of Total \Pi-Electron Energy, Ivan Gutman

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The Türker angles $\theta, \alpha$ and $\beta$ are quantities invented by Lemi Türker, and are used in the theory of total $\pi$-electron energy $(E)$ of unsaturated conjugated hydrocarbons. We report here expressions for $\theta, \alpha$ and $\beta$ in terms of $E$ and the parameters $n$ (= half the number of carbon atoms) and $e$ (= the number of carbon-carbon bonds). The forms of these expressions are remarkably similar. Numerical calculation performed on a representative set of benzenoid hydrocarbons reveals that the dependence of the angles $\alpha$ and $\beta$ on molecular structure is very similar, and that their ratio is almost …

Dc Conduction In Electrochemically Synthesized Polypyrrole Films, Akif Kaynak Jan 1998

Dc Conduction In Electrochemically Synthesized Polypyrrole Films, Akif Kaynak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

DC conductivity measurements were performed by modified four-probe rig on electrochemically synthesized polypyrrole films at a temperature range of -30^oC to 120^oC. Conductivity increased with temperature. The temperature dependence of conductivity was very high for lightly doped polymers, decreasing as the doping level increased. The model used to describe the conduction process was the conduction model originally developed for amorphous silicon by Mott and Davis. When applied to conducting polymers, it assumes that electron transport originates from localized or fixed states within the polymer chain. The charge transfer between the chains takes place by hopping, referred to as phonon-assisted hopping, …


Dimerization Of Pyrrole, Mine Yurtsever, Ersin Yurtsever Jan 1998

Dimerization Of Pyrrole, Mine Yurtsever, Ersin Yurtsever

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Accurate ab-inito quantum mechanical calculations of pyrrole dimers are reported. The thermodynamical stabilities of dimers with $\alpha - \alpha, \alpha - \beta$, and $\beta - \beta$ type linkages are compared in order to predict the possibilities of branching in polypyrroles. Calculations employing large basis sets and including electron correlation effects predict the $\alpha - \alpha$ dimers as the most stable form. However, an $\alpha - \beta$ type bonding requires only 1.5-2.0 kcal/mol, and the energy necessary to introduce a $\beta - \beta$ type bond is 3.6-4.0 kcal/mol. These values show that a high degree of branching is possible even at …
