Calorimetry is the science or act of measuring changes in state variables of a body for the purpose of deriving the heat transfer associated with changes of its state due, for example, to chemical reactions, physical changes, or phase transitions under specified constraints. Calorimetry is performed with a calorimeter.
An intercooler, or Charge-Air Cooler, is an air-to-air or air-to-liquid heat exchange device used on turbocharged and supercharged (forced induction) internal combustion engines to improve their volumetric efficiency by increasing intake air-charge density through isochoric cooling.
A diol is a chemical compound containing two hydroxyl groups. This pairing of functional groups is pervasive and many subcategories have been identified. The most common diols in nature are sugars and their polymers, cellulose.The most common industrial diol is ethylene glycol.Examples of diols in which the hydroxyl functional groups are more widely separated include 1,4-butanediol HOâ(CH2)4âOH and bisphenol A, and propylene-1,3-diol or beta propylene glycol, HO-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH.he most common industrial diol is ethylene glycol.
