Benzene is a solid below 42Â°F (5.6Â°C). DESCRIPTION: Benzene is used to make chemicals used in the manufacture of industrial products such as dyes, detergents, explosives, pesticides, synthetic rubber, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. Benzene is found in gasoline and trace amounts are found in cigarette smoke. Benzene has been banned as an ingredient in products intended for use in the home, including toys. Benzene has a sweet, aromatic, gasoline-like odor. Most individuals can begin to smell benzene in air at 1.5 to 4.7 ppm.
Hypervelocity refers to velocities in the range from a few kilometers per second to some tens of kilometers per second. This is especially relevant in the field of space exploration and military use of space, where hypervelocity impacts can result in anything from minor component degradation to the complete destruction of a spacecraft or missile.
foam CAV panels during potential hypervelocity impact of space debris with the outer surface of the CAVs. The results obtained. show that the extent of damage scales with the normal component of the momentum associated with the debris particles just. before the impact. In addition, it is found that despite its relatively low strength, the carbonâfoam can providea major increase in. the resistance of the CAV panels towards penetration of the hypervelocity debris particles. This ï¬nding has been linked with an. attendant consolidation of the foam, the process that is capable of absorbing a substantial amount of kinetic energy carried by the. debris particles.
