Characteristics of the technological behavior of water and its structure

Fibre Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The moisture content in freshly spun fibre, which is correlated with the temperature dependence of the cluster composition of water, decreases significantly with an increase in the processing temperature from 20 to 60‡C. Agreement was demonstrated for different nonlattice close packings of spheres of the same radius with the same reduced density and contact number and the mixture structure of water in the form of cluster-hygroscopic supermolecular formations (H 2O)n, in which the number of molecules is a function of the temperature and varies from 〈6.7〉 (with a mole fraction of water of approximately 0.9 in the clusters) at 0‡C to 〈2.8〉 (0.43) at 100‡C. It was hypothesized that at a temperature of approximately 40 and 80‡C, resonance absorption of electromagnetic energy with a frequency equal to the natural frequency of water takes place. Destruction of the cluster microstructure of water in the energy absorption zone begins for an external electromagnetic field frequency above 600 GHz.
