Cetyl alcohol, three-dimensional

The purpose of this paper is to propose an interpretation of the foregoing results, to develop a mathematical model which uses the capability of the computer to establish the parameters that are important in the emulsification process, to predict the shape of the conductometric titration curves, and, finally, to visualize the conductometric titration curves as three-dimensional conductance-oil volume-cetyl alcohol concentration plots. 

Three-Dimensional Conductance-Oil Volume-Cetyl Alcohol Plots... 

The complex variation of the conductance with added oil volume at a given hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide concentration was shown by a three-dimensional conductance-oil volume-cetyl alcohol concentration plot. The conductometric titration curves of Figure 2 were fitted using various equations. The best fit was obtained with the following expression. 

Figure 14 shows the three-dimensional plot viewed from a horizontal angle of 30° and a vertical angle of 5°. This view shows the deep valley formed by the inflection point and its disappearance with increasing cetyl alcohol content. Moreover, the region beyond the inflection point V2 is shown as a broad, relatively flat plateau. Thus the three-dimensional plot on the rectangular box can be tilted at any angle desired to show the specific features of interest.
