| Figure shows that cyclohexane requires the minimum energy among the other working fluids. |
| The bond angles in cyclohexane are 109.5 degrees, the regular unstrained tetrahedral angle. |
| Iodine is virtually insoluble in water but it will readily dissolve in cyclohexane. |
| Catalytic hydrogenation adds six hydrogen atoms to produce cyclohexane, a colorless liquid with the properties of an alkane. |
| Industrially, benzene is used in the manufacture of nylon, phenol, styrene, and cyclohexane. |
| In a preferred embodiment of the process of the present invention, the cycloparaffin is cyclohexane or cyclododecane. |
