Electroosmotic velocities of buffered solutions are shown for a bare silica capillaiy and one with aminopropyl groups (silica—Si—CHiCHiCHjNlL) covalently attached to the wall. A positive sign means that flow is toward the cathode. Explain the signs and relative magnitudes of the velocities. 

The interferometer has several advantages over dark field scattering instruments. Because it is a bright field instrument it is less sensitive to the stray light scattered by interfaces between the instrument s capillaiy cell wall and the liquid medium. The instrument can also identify signals created by bubbles thus avoiding false counts. It can also measure flow-rate and it is more sensitive to particles with a refractive index near that of the liquid than dark field instruments because it can look at forward light without noise interference from the incident laser beam. 

Sample introduction is often accomplished by pressure injection, in which one end of the capillary is inserted into a vessel containing the sample. The vessel is then raised briefly above the level of the capillaiy to force sample into the tube. Alternatively, a vacuum is applied to the detector end of the tubing. Introduction may also be canned out by electroosmotic flow, which is described in the next section.

The most traditional confignration of the system is the Lidsky hollow cathode (Fig. 4-27), which is a narrow capillaiy-like nozzle operating with axially flowing gas and an anode located abont 1 cm downstream. The Lidsky hollow cathode is hard to initiate but it provides electron current densities exceeding the hmits of the Child law (Section 3.7.4 see Poeschel et al., 1979 Forrester, 1988).

The viscosity of a 0.02% solution of polyethylene powder in decahydronapthalene was measured by means of an Ubbelohde capillaiy viscometer. The measurement yielded an average solution flow time of 124 seconds vs. 72.3 seconds for the pure solvent. A Hagenbach (k) correction factor of 2.02 seconds was previously determined for this particular viscometer. What is the nominal molecular weight of the polyethylene sample Would this polyethylene be classified as an UHMWPE ... 

Use the data in Problem 7.6 to find the power-law exponent n for polypropylene at 190°C. Hence deduce the wall shear rate and corresponding apparent viscosity for each value of Q. (Equations for power-law flow through a capillaiy are given in Example 7.4.). 

Although not widely used, there are other methods to determine the softening point, such as the capillaiy method, the flow point, the drop point, and the Kofler method. The different methods provide different values of the softening point. In general, the Ring and Ball method provides the highest softening point while the...

The Poiseuille s Law states that the volume of a liquid flowing through a capillaiy is directty proportional to the flow time, the pressure under which the liquid flows, and Ae fourth power of the capillary radius. Also, the volume of liquid that flows is inversely proportional to the length of the capillary and to the viscosity of the liquid.
