CHAPTER 1 Introduction Background of the Study Air is a precious resource that most of us take for granted. Air supplies us with oxygen‚ which is essential for our bodies to live. Without it‚ we would die within minutes. Pure air is a mixture of several gases that are invisible and odourless. It consists of about 78% nitrogen‚ 21% oxygen‚ and less than 1% of argon‚ carbon dioxide‚ and other gases — as well as varying amounts of water vapour. Pollution is one of the major problems of our country

understand the meaning of the term chromatography itself. Chromatography Chromatography is defined as a procedure by which inert materials and drug principles encountered in pharmaceuticals preparations are separated by fractional extraction‚ adsorption‚ or ion exchange on a porous solid. Chromatography is particularly useful as a means of separating and purifying complex and closely related chemical substance which are difficult to distinguish. Chromatographic techniques are more applicable in

that control the rheological behavior of a superplasicized cement paste and concrete. An optimum amount of soluble alkalis content exists and ranges between 0.4 and 0.6% of Na2Oeq in the cement. The rate of the naphthalene based superplasticizers’ adsorption on the cement particles and cement hydrates‚ which is influenced by these parameters‚ controls the loss of fluidity of the concrete. Moreover‚ this study has shown that concrete made with cements that have a low soluble alkali content not only lose

[pic] TAKEING THE MYSTERY OUT OF THE TXV The thermostatic expansion valve has been considered by some to be a mysterious and complex device. As a result‚ many valves are needlessly replaced when the cause of the system malfunction is not immediately recognized. Actually the thermostatic expansion valve performs only one very simple function. –it keeps the evaporator supplied with enough refrigerants to satisfy all load conditions. It is not a temperature control‚ suction pressure control
