The various state functions that are measurable thermodynamic parameters have been defined and fully explained. The exact differentials of each of the state functions have been derived and their applications clearly examined. The Maxwell Reciprocity Relations have been explained and assessed as to how it provides the conditions for the exactness of each of the state functions. Hence, the application of Maxwell's Relation leads to the provision of new additional thermodynamic formula which is very useful and simple.

While barriers on the importation of steel, automobile and textiles & apparel have remained a contentious issue over the past decade, on numerous occasions the U.S. Government has provided trade protection or special treatment to aid some industries with labour and capital employed receiving immediate and direct benefits. Generally speaking the liberalisation of these sectors would bring about a significant increase in imports with a corresponding decline of exports in some sectors which are subject to the removal of protectionist measures. In the United States, the resultant effects of the removal of significant import restraints would be a decline in employment and output in certain sectors which are likely to be compensated by similar increase in output and employment all through the unaffected parts of the economy. Most of the quantitative results and data used in this work were obtained from the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) and the Bureau of Labour and Statistics.
Hence the questions answered in this dissertation are of the following nature; how does the imposition of import restraints affect employment, output and international competitiveness in the textiles and apparel, steel and automobile. Import restraints examined include tariff and quota on textiles and apparel, voluntary export restraints on automobiles and safeguard measures on steel as the sector witnessing the highest effect of import restraint, removal of these restraints as at 1996 would see a significant increase in national welfare equal to $10.4 billion. Trade policy is not a determinant of total employment on the U.S. economy. The unemployment rate in a country depends on factors such as monetary policy, wage & labour-market flexibility and the business cycle which are nontrade factors; it does not rely on the level of openness of its economy.

The Combustion of Diesel and the effects of Palm Kernel Oil on the Combustion rate and on the Heat of Combustion have been investigated. The Combustion rate decreases in the presence of the additive and tends to reach a minimum at 4cm3 of the additive in 15cm3 of the Diesel sample. The Combustion rate for Pure Diesel sample was found to be 2.85 x 10-4 cm3 sec-1 while lower values of 1.93 x 10-4 cm3 sec-1 and 1.60 x 10-4 cm3 sec-1 were obtained when the additive (1cm3 and 4cm3) respectively were added to the fixed volume of Diesel (15cm3) . The lowering of the Combustion rate suggests that PKO has some anti-knock properties.
A gradual increase in the Combustion rate has been observed when the volume of the additive was increased above 4cm3 in the same volume of the Diesel.
The Heat of Combustion value for Pure Diesel sample as experimentally determined was -1500 KJmol-1. Higher values of -1590KJmol-1 and -1842KJmol-1 was obtained with the additive concentration of 1cm3 and 4cm3 respectively mixed with 15cm3 of the Diesel sample. The Heat of Combustion values show a remarkable increase with increased concentration of the additive.
The analysis of the weight loss with time for the combustion of Diesel and a plot of the kinetic data reveals a first order mechanism. Lower values of rate constant were recorded with the presence of the additive against the high value of the Pure Diesel sample. The lowering of the rate constants agrees well with the corresponding longer half-life value recorded upon the introduction of the additive.
Infrared spectrum reveals an elimination of the OH-group and an introduction of a -CO group by the additive which probably amounts to a substitution of a carbon atom for a hydrogen atom.
