Bubble-point curves, dew-point curves and solid + fluid/fluid boundary curves of methane + tetracosane + triacontane were determined according to the synthetic method in the temperature range 320–475K and at pressures up to 200MPa.
Two series of quasi-binary systems of constant methane mole fraction with mixtures of tetracosane and triacontane with composition varying between pure tetracosane and pure triacontane were studied.
A gradual isothermal substitution of tetracosane by triacontane at constant mole fraction methane increases the bubble-point pressure and the dew-point pressure, while the liquidus temperature at constant pressure passes through a minimum.

 Molecular-Based Simulation of Complex Fluids   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The temperature and density of the tetracosane are at typical values for lubrication applications.
The tetracosane molecules are in various colors (such as yellow, blue, green, and purple) so that they can be easily distinguished.
The ordered nature of the tetracosane in this situation gives rise to a very large effective viscosity, in agreement with experiments on alkane liquids confined to nanoscale gaps.

 Diffusive Motion in Tetracosane Monolayers Adsorbed on Graphite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The diffusive motion in monolayers of tetracosane (n-C_24H_50), a prototypical flexible-chain alkane molecule of intermediate length, is of interest as a first step in investigating the interfacial dynamics of more complex polymers.
We have performed quasielastic neutron scattering (QNS) experiments on tetracosane monolayers adsorbed on the (0001) surfaces of an exfoliated graphite substrate at two different energy/time resolutions: \sim1 \mueV (\sim4 ns) and \sim100 \mueV (\sim40 ps).
The higher resolution spectra show the energy width of the QNS to be independent of the wave vector transfer Q at temperatures of 180-200 K, a behavior consistent with molecular dynamics simulations which show rotational motion of the molecules about their long axis.

This paper focuses on the structural characteristics of confined squalane and tetracosane under shear flow conditions.
In particular, when the wall spacing is close to an integral multiple of the molecular diameter, tetracosane shows the formation of distinct layers with the molecules being in a fully extended state.
Under shear flow conditions the molecules tend to orient parallel to the walls, as would be expected, with a greater degree of orientation (a) close to the walls, (b) at the positions of local density maxima, and (c) at higher strain rates.{copyright}{ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}

 Tetracosane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikimedia needs your help in its 21-day fund drive.
Tetracosane, also called tetrakosane, is an alkane hydrocarbon with the structural formula CH As with other alkanes, its name is derived from the Greek for the number of carbon atoms, 24, in the molecule.

 Monolayer Structure of the n-Alkane Tetracosane   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The structure of monolayer tetracosane (n-C_24H_50) is of interest as a first step toward investigating the interfacial dynamics of intermediate-length alkanes.
We report neutron diffraction experiments on tetracosane adsorbed on the (0001) surfaces of an exfoliated graphite substrate as a function of temperature which reveal three different monolayer phases.
The crystalline phase has been observed previously in STM studies;\footnote G.

 Session Y31 - Surface Phase Transitions.
Squalane (hexamethyltetracosane), a branched alkane of intermediate length consisting of a tetracosane (n-C_24H_50) backbone and six symmetrically-placed methyl side groups, is frequently taken as a model lubricant.
We have begun quasielastic neutron scattering (QNS) experiments to compare the molecular diffusive motion in squalane and tetracosane monolayers adsorbed on the (0001) surfaces of an exfoliated graphite substrate.
Unlike tetracosane, high-energy-resolution spectra [\DeltaE (FWHM) \sim 1 \mueV] at temperatures of 215 and 230 K show the energy width of the QNS to have a maximum near Q = 1.2 ÅThis nonmonotonic Q dependence suggests that translational diffusion has not yet begun.

 Journal of Essential Oil Research: JEOR: Identification of Volatile Constituents from the Flower Oil of Spartium junceum
The 24 main constituents of the samples were identified; the main components of the oil were kairomonal compounds, tricosane (22.9%), tetracosane (8.9%) and pentacosane (16.1%), constituting altogether almost 48% of total composition.
As can be seen in Table I, hydrocarbons were the main components of the oil; in fact tricosane (22.9%), tetracosane (8.9%) and pentacosane (16.1%) constituted altogether almost 48% of total oil composition.
Kairomonal compounds, like tricosane, tetracosane and pentacosane, are host-seeking stimulants for the egg parasite (19), so that kairomones can be employed in manipulating entomophagous activity in biocontrol programs (20).

 Vapor-Liquid Equilibria for the Hexane + Tetracosane and Hexane + Hexatriacontane Systems at Elevated Temperatures and ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Vapor and liquid equilibrium compositions have been measured for the hexane + tetracosane and hexane + hexatriacontane systems at temperatures from 473.0 K to 622.9 K and pressures from 6.2 bar to 64.5 bar.
A continuous-flow apparatus was used so that the low wax concentrations in the vapor phase could be accurately measured.
The effects of chain length, branching, and substituent groups on the phase behavior of binary systems containing hexane + a long-chain alkane are summarized in the form of a pressure versus temperature projection.

Procedure: A solid tetracosane test sample with implanted gas bubbles will be melted at low temperatures.
Once melted completely, the liquified tetracosane, now transparent, will be cooled, and a new solidification process will occur.
The resulting interaction between moving pre- formed air bubbles and the solidifying edge will be studied.
