In this study, the reaction equilibrium of the reversible esterification of acetic acid with 1-butanol giving 1-butyl acetate and water was investigated. The entire composition space including the miscibility gap was covered at temperatures relevant for technical processes (353.15 K to 393.15 K). The experiments were carried out in a...
The principle of "a calorie is a calorie," that weight change in hypocaloric diets is independent of macronutrient composition, is widely held in the popular and technical literature, and is frequently justified by appeal to the laws of thermodynamics. The paper reviews here some aspects of thermodynamics that bear on...
DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f81273/sustainable_design) has announced the addition of the "Sustainable Design: The Science of Sustainability and Green Engineering" report to their offering. Most of the existing books on sustainability and green construction take either an "inspirational" approach, or a "cookbook" approach. Both have their...
