One point should be made about the identification of a reflexive separation case in paper [49]. Reflexive separation is defined as an unstable post-collision mechanism that separates the droplets collided at near-head-on impact parameters. In this mechanism, the bulk masses of the colliding droplets remain on the sides of the symmetry plane from where they had approached (therefore reflexive separation). In the case shown in Fig. 7.9, however, which is identified as single reflex separation by Chen and Chen [49], the dyed drop changes its side from above (before collision) to below the symmetry plane (after collision), and the transparent drop moves vice versa. The actual mechanism therefore implies a mutual penetration of the liquid portions in the collided complex, which is not reflexive separation. This mechanism was called crossing separation by Planchette et al. [26] and by Planchette and Brenn [50], since the two liquid portions cross the trajectories of their respective collision partners. 

Beyond this, it is now possible to cross separate strains of penicillia and to select from the hybrids strains with a greater titre potential than either parent. 

Density separation is complicated in many cases because the density ranges of two given plastics may cross. Separation is further complicated by the incorporation of fillers, air (in foams), adhesives or other additives in some plastics as they can substantially change the density. For example, 15% talc filled PP has a density similar to that of ABS (1.02-1.20 g cm ) and may be used in similar applications resulting in a difficult mixture to separate [76]. An alternative to simple density separation would be required in such a case. 

In situations where a low concentration of suspended solids needs to be separated from a liquid, then cross-flow filtration can be used. The most common design uses a porous tube. The suspension is passed through the tube at high velocity and is concentrated as the liquid flows through the porous medium. The turbulent flow prevents the formation of a filter cake, and the solids are removed as a more concentrated slurry. 

Considering existing microscopical techniques, one can find that non-destmctive information from the internal stmcture of an object in natural conditions can be obtained by transmission X-ray microscopy. Combination of X-ray transmission technique with tomographical reconstmction allows getting three-dimensional information about the internal microstmcture [1-3]. In this case any internal area can be reconstmcted as a set of flat cross sections which can be used to analyze the two- and three-dimensional morphological parameters [4]. For X-ray methods the contrast in the images is a mixed combination of density and compositional information. In some cases the compositional information can be separated from the density information [5]. Recently there has been a... 

In situ measurement of the concentration of radioactive tracers in the different phases requires that the phases are separated and arranged according to density difference over the measurement cross section in a horizontal pipe. In general, the measurements are performed with two spectral gamma radiation detectors placed on top and bottom of the pipe respectively. 

A major advance in force measurement was the development by Tabor, Win-terton and Israelachvili of a surface force apparatus (SFA) involving crossed cylinders coated with molecularly smooth cleaved mica sheets [11, 28]. A current version of an apparatus is shown in Fig. VI-4 from Ref. 29. The separation between surfaces is measured interferometrically to a precision of 0.1 nm the surfaces are driven together with piezoelectric transducers. The combination of a stiff double-cantilever spring with one of a number of measuring leaf springs provides force resolution down to 10 dyn (10 N). Since its development, several groups have used the SFA to measure the retarded and unretarded dispersion forces, electrostatic repulsions in a variety of electrolytes, structural and solvation forces (see below), and numerous studies of polymeric and biological systems. 

Fig. VI-4. Illustration of the surface force apparatus with the crossed-cylinder geometry shown as an inset. The surface separations are determined from the interference fringes from white light travelling vertically through the apparatus. At each separation, the force is determined from the deflection in the force measuring spring. For solution studies, the entire chamber is filled with liquid. (From Ref. 29.)...

Fig. VI-6. The force between two crossed cylinders coated with mica and carrying adsorbed bilayers of phosphatidylcholine lipids at 22°C. The solid symbols are for 1.2 mM salt while the open circles are for 10.9 roM salt. The solid curves are the DLVO theoretical calculations. The inset shows the effect of the van der Waals force at small separations the Hamaker constant is estimated from this to be 7 1 x 10 erg. In the absence of salt there is no double-layer force and the adhesive force is -1.0 mN/m. (From Ref. 66.)...

The modification of the surface force apparatus (see Fig. VI-4) to measure viscosities between crossed mica cylinders has alleviated concerns about surface roughness. In dynamic mode, a slow, small-amplitude periodic oscillation was imposed on one of the cylinders such that the separation x varied by approximately 10% or less. In the limit of low shear rates, a simple equation defines the viscosity as a function of separation... 

The long-range van der Waals interaction provides a cohesive pressure for a thin film that is equal to the mutual attractive force per square centimeter of two slabs of the same material as the film and separated by a thickness equal to that of the film. Consider a long column of the material of unit cross section. Let it be cut in the middle and the two halves separated by d, the film thickness. Then, from one outside end of one of each half, slice off a layer of thickness d insert one of these into the gap. The system now differs from the starting point by the presence of an isolated thin layer. Show by suitable analysis of this sequence that the opening statement is correct. Note About the only assumptions needed are that interactions are superimposable and that they are finite in range. 

Derive Eq. XII-18. In an experiment using hexadecane and crossed mica cylinders, the circular flat contact area is about 10 cm in diameter and the two surfaces oscillate back and forth to the extent of 1 % of their diameter per second. The separation distance is 10 A and the yield pressure of the glue-backed mica is 0.1 kg/mm. ... 

For interactions between two quadmpolar molecules which have 0 and 0g of the opposite sign, at a fixed separation r, the angular factor in equation (A1.5.13t leads to a linear stmcture, 0 = 0g = 0, being the most attractive. Linear molecules may also prefer a 2 rectangular or non-planar cross arrangement with 0 = 0g = nil, which allows them to approach closer and increase the radial factor. 

To detemiine k E) from equation (A3.12.9) it is assumed that transition states with positivefomi products. Notmg that / f = p dqf/dt, where p is the reduced mass of the separating fragments, all transition states that lie within and + dq with positive will cross the transition state toward products in the time interval dt = pj dqf p. Inserting this expression into equation (A3.12.9), one finds that the reactant-to-product rate (i.e. flux) through the transition state for momenPim p is...
