Abstract

... 29 In the autoclave reactor used in our work, a much smaller portion of the reactor volume (∼5%) was available for the coexisting vapor phase. ... the heat of reaction to be independent of temperature over the range investigated, one obtains where K' = k F /k' R = (THF)(H 2 O)/(BD ...
