Abstract The rate at which a gas passes through a sheet of rubber-like material and the rate at which a gas is absorbed by a block of the material both depend on the same factors, solubility and diffusion constant. The magnitude of these factors can be measured by absorption experiments carried out under specified conditions and the results can be used to assess the permeability of the material in sheet form. Experimental methods and suitable apparatus are described for following absorption and the manner of interpreting the results in terms of permeability is given. Besides such advantages as accurate temperature control, convenient size and ease of handling of the apparatus, the small size of the test-piece, and the elimination of the difficulty of producing uniform thin sheets free from pinholes, the method has the advantage that both factors, solubility and diffusion constant, can be assessed independently; this is not normally possible with direct permeation measurements. Some experimental results are tabulated.

Aiming to solve the problems of inaccuracy in temperature control and the slow reaction in condensing system in the automated distillation analyzer, an approach which combining electrical fan and thermoelectric cooler was put forward, using STM32 as the control unit; accurate temperature control during the distillation process was realized, data collection and processing can be completed by the control unit, and the wireless module can accomplish communication and control the analyzer under the instructions of computer. With this temperature control method, the automation and test accuracy of distillation analyzer can be enhanced, thus ensuring better ratio of performance-to-price and control performance.

Two key challenges to portable gas chromatography are reducing preconcentrator power consumption and accurate temperature control of adsorbent. This paper presents the results of thermal modeling performed to optimize a microfabricated preconcentrator based on a silicon microhotplate and utilizing Metal Organic Framework (MOF) adsorbents. From this modeling, two design changes are presented that reduce the power consumption by 1.5 W and reduce temperature variation across the microhotplate by 50%.
