Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between viscosity and the plasticity of silicate mixtures at high temperatures. Silicate compounds are essential knowledge for multiple industries, from manufacturing refractories and glass to producing cement and porcelain. Yet, experimental evidence capable of explaining these compounds in their liquid state has remained absent or incomplete. This book bridges that gap in knowledge. The author, an expert in the study of silicate compounds, provides direct measurements of the viscosity of silicates at high temperatures. The results, which were obtained through the use of synthetic melts under various conditions, allowed the author to construct families of surfaces giving viscosity as a function of composition and temperature. These surfaces are not simple in nature, and the form of these surfaces is greatly dependent upon the temperature chosen. The authorâs research represents a considerable advancement in the study of silicate chemistry and provides a foundation for further investigation. This volume is especially valuable for those involved in the production or study of the aforementioned industrial products. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
