One might consider two hygroscopic salts in a sealed chamber; the more hygroscopic one would dessicate the other. A comprehensive article would rank "deliquescent" substances by their critical humidity.--Polymath07 19:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC) Good point. Let's merge them and add an explanation of that. —Keenan Pepper 02:04, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Super hygroscopic polymer films composed of biomass and hygroscopic salts are able to condense moisture from atmospheric humidity. [16] By implementing rapid sorption-desorption kinetics and operating 14–24 cycles per day, this technique produced an equivalent water yield of 5.8–13.3 L kg −1 of sustainable raw materials, demonstrating the ...
The following compounds are liquid at room temperature and are ... Many of them are hygroscopic. Organic compounds ... C 3 H 8 O 3: glycerol: 56-81-5 CH 3 OH ...
3,5,5-Trimethyl-1-hexanol is a nine carbon primary alcohol, and it makes up the mixture isononanol along with isononyl alcohol. It is used for fragrance in many toiletries and household cleaning products. Between one and ten metric tonnes are produced every year for use as a fragrance. [1]
The air-cooler used in the hygroscopic cycle cools a liquid flow with concentrated hygroscopic compound, with an overall volumetric heat capacity much higher than the steam traditionally condensed in the air cooled condenser mentioned earlier, thus reducing the power needed for ventilation, [8] and needing less surface area for heat exchange ...
For liquid, the dynamic viscosity is usually in the range of 0.001 to 1 Pascal-second, or 1 to 1000 centiPoise. The density is usually on the order of 1000 kg/m^3, i.e. that of water. Consequently, if a liquid has dynamic viscosity of n centiPoise, and its density is not too different from that of water, then its kinematic viscosity is around n ...
[2] [3] This is the opposite use of a hygroscopic material where it is used as a desiccant used to draw moisture away. In pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, humectants can be used in topical dosage forms to increase the solubility of a chemical compound's active ingredients , increasing the active ingredients' ability to penetrate skin, or its ...
Mercury is the heaviest liquid at room temperature. But the heaviest liquid irrespective of temperature is liquid osmium (a rare metal) at its melting point (3033°C/5491.4°F), with a density of 22.59 g·cm −3, 1.65 times as heavy as mercury. [4]
