Are molecular solvents, aqueous biphasic systems and deep eutectic solvents meaningful categories for liquid–liquid extraction? by Billard, Isabelle

“…Each class displays properties that apparently distinguish it from the other two. However, these three classes seem to be irrelevant because the properties of mutual solubilities in these systems are identical in nature and can be easily understood via a simplified phase diagram. …”

Unstart Coupling Mechanism Analysis of Multiple-Modules Hypersonic Inlet by Jichao Hu, Juntao Chang, Lei Wang, Shibin Cao, Wen Bao

“…The results indicate that the other two hypersonic inlets are forced into unstarted flow when unstarted phenomenon appears on a single-module hypersonic inlet due to high backpressure, and the reversed flow in the isolator dominates the formation, expansion, shrinkage, and disappearance of the vortexes, and thus, it is the major factor of unstart coupling of multiple-modules hypersonic inlet. …”
