  2. Chemical impurity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_impurity

    Firstly, a pure chemical should appear in at least one chemical phase and can also be characterized by its phase diagram. Secondly, a pure chemical should prove to be homogeneous (i.e., a uniform substance that has the same composition throughout the material [2]). The perfect pure chemical will pass all attempts to separate and purify it further.

  3. Thermodynamic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_system

    To account for the internal energy of the open system, this requires energy transfer terms in addition to those for heat and work. It also leads to the idea of the chemical potential. A wall selectively permeable only to a pure substance can put the system in diffusive contact with a reservoir of that pure substance in the surroundings.

  4. Separation process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_process

    A separation process is a method that converts a mixture or a solution of chemical substances into two or more distinct product mixtures, [1] a scientific process of separating two or more substances in order to obtain purity. At least one product mixture from the separation is enriched in one or more of the source mixture's constituents.

  5. Fractional crystallization (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_crystallization...

    This process of draining helps to separate the pure crystals from the impure liquid. Sweating: This phase is a controlled partial melting process. It further purifies the product by melting only a small portion of the crystal. The melting causes the impurities trapped within or between the crystal structures to be released and separated.

  6. Molecular diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_diffusion

    Transport of material in stagnant fluid or across streamlines of a fluid in a laminar flow occurs by molecular diffusion. Two adjacent compartments separated by a partition, containing pure gases A or B may be envisaged. Random movement of all molecules occurs so that after a period molecules are found remote from their original positions.

  7. Isentropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_process

    [10] [11] For an isentropic process, if also reversible, there is no transfer of energy as heat because the process is adiabatic; δQ = 0. In contrast, if the process is irreversible, entropy is produced within the system; consequently, in order to maintain constant entropy within the system, energy must be simultaneously removed from the ...

  8. Heat transfer physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_physics

    The energy is different made (converted) among various carriers. The heat transfer processes (or kinetics) are governed by the rates at which various related physical phenomena occur, such as (for example) the rate of particle collisions in classical mechanics. These various states and kinetics determine the heat transfer, i.e., the net rate of ...

  9. Melting point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point

    The melting point of a pure substance is always higher and has a smaller range than the melting point of an impure substance or, more generally, of mixtures. The higher the quantity of other components, the lower the melting point and the broader will be the melting point range, often referred to as the "pasty range".
