Mathematical Models of Biofilm in Various Environments
… In the second part of my research, we built the deliquescence models for biofilm growth environment in the first model and added biomass into consideration in the second one. Also, we analyzed the stability of the equilibria. In the third part, we applied the weather data collected from the …

Investigation of glucose hydrate formation and loss: Parameters, mechanisms, and physical stability
… during storage below their literature reported deliquescence points (RH0) of 89-91%RH and 91%RH, respectively, at 25°C. However, many other crystalline sugars, such as sucrose, have been observed to cake below their RH0. The flowability of ingredients is a top priority in the food industry, …

Cavity ring down: Construction, validation and experiments measuring the optical extinction of pure clays and their mixtures with salts and carboxylic acids under a range of atmospherically relevant conditions
… studied and a lowering of the optically observed deliquescence RH was observed in comparison to the pure salts. Further, experimental results were compared with Mie theory generated from volume weighted mixing rules to reveal deviations near deliquescence. Lastly, optical properties of …

Decommissioning considerations for molten salt type reactors
… to another as a result of hygroscopy and deliquescence. Consequently, the technical challenges that may arise during molten salt reactor decommissioning as a result of this phenomenon are also discussed and explored. Similarly, the application of heating and pressure reduction to assist in …

An electrodynamic balance (EDB) for extraterrestrial cloud formation studies
… perform validation experiments. We investigate deliquescence and efflorescence on salts at room temperature and 0 'C. We modify the cooling system, thermocouples, and relative humidity sensors and begin freezing experiments with Arizona Test Dust (ATD) and with Mojave Mars Simulant (MMS) dust. …

Mechanisms In the Water Vapor Hydrolysis of Sodium Borohydride
… This crucial step in the reaction sequence is deliquescence, which depends on temperature and relative humidity. Water uptake was monitored as a function of conditions using dynamic vapor sorption, and increasing temperature resulted in an increased water uptake rate between 25 and …
