For bubble-cap plates, hydraulic-gradient must be given serious consideration. It is a function of cap size, shape, and density on the plate. Methods for analyzing bubble-cap gradient may be found in the chapter by BoUes (Smith, De.sign of Equilibrium Stage Proce.s.se.s, Chap. 14, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1963) or in previous edition of this handbook. 

Further differences from hydraulic nozzles (controlled by sheet and ligament breakup) are the stronger increase in drop size with increasing surface tension and decreasing gas density. 

Crushing, selective particle size packing or hydraulic compaction can be used to reduce interparticle void space and increase the bulk density within the storage tank to approach the particle density of the carbon. Even with these extreme methods of packing, the fraction of the vessel which is micropore is never greater than 0.50 for any commercial carbon, considerably short of the 0.70 which is necessary for 170 V/V storage. 

Structure of the medium. It is temperature-dependent, since the properties of the fluid (density and viscosity) are temperature-dependent. Hydraulic conductivity can be written more specifically in terms of the intrinsic permeability and the properties of the fluid.

Over the years the performance standards of hydraulic equipment have risen. Whereas a pressure of about 1000 psi used to be adequate for industrial hydraulic systems, nowadays systems operating with pressures of 2000-3500psi are common. Pressures above 5000psi are to be found in applications such as large presses for which suitable high-pressure pumps have been developed. Additionally, systems have to provide increased power densities, more accurate response, better reliability and increased safety. Their use in numerically controlled machine tools and other advanced control systems creates the need for enhanced filtration. Full flow filters as fine as 1-10 micron retention capabilities are now to be found in many hydraulic systems. 

There were several studies of hydraulic transport in the 1950s, sparked off particularly by an interest in the economic possibilities of transportation of coal and other minerals over long distances. Newitt et al.p2) working with solids of a range of particle sizes (up to 5 fim) and densities (1180-4600 kg/m3) in a 25 mm diameter pipe, suggested separate correlations for flow with a bed deposit and tor conditions where the particles were predominantly in heterogeneous suspension. 

There have been several studies involving the use of media consisting of fine dense particles suspended in water for transporting coarse particles. The fine suspension behaves as a homogeneous fluid of increased density, but its viscosity is not sufficiently altered to have a significant effect on the pressure drop during turbulent flow, the normal condition for hydraulic transport. The cost of the dense particles may, however, be appreciable and their complete separation from the coarse particles may be difficult. 

For adiabatic, steady-state, and developed gas-liquid two-phase flow in a smooth pipe, assuming immiscible and incompressible phases, the essential variables are pu, pG, Pl, Pg, cr, dh, g, 9, Uls, and Uas, where subscripts L and G represent liquid and gas (or vapor), respectively, p is the density, p is the viscosity, cr is the surface tension, dh is the channel hydraulic diameter, 9 is the channel angle of inclination with respect to the gravity force, or the contact angle, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and Uls and Ugs are the liquid and gas superficial velocities, respectively. The independent dimensionless parameters can be chosen as Ap/pu (where Ap = Pl-Pg), and...

Addition of rubber particles of 30% to 100% by weight to cement with a grain size of approximately 40 to 60 mesh (0.4 to 0.25 mm) will produce a lightweight cement. The addition of rubber particles also creates a low permeability. The compositions are advantageous for cementing zones subjected to extreme dynamic stresses such as perforation zones and the junctions of branches in a multi-sidetrack well. Recycled, expanded polystyrene lowers the density of a hydraulic cement formulation and is an environmentally friendly solution for downcycling waste materials. 

The physical properties important for the projected use of hydraulic fluids are viscosity, density, foaming behavior, and fire resistance. There is no generally recognized test method for measuring flammability of hydraulic fluids, although various test methods maybe utilized (Moller 1989). 

Physical properties involve tests of the physical index parameters of the materials. For spent foundry sand, these parameters include particle gradation, unit weight, specific density, moisture content, adsorption, hydraulic conductivity, clay content, plastic limit, and plastic index. These parameters determine the suitability of spent foundry sand for uses in potential applications. Typical physical properties of spent green foundry sand are listed in Table 4.5. 

It is obvious from Equation 14.14 that the most important parameter determining the volumetric air flow rate <2W is the intrinsic permeability K of soil. At this point it is important to stress the difference between water permeability (or hydraulic conductivity) k , air permeability ka, and intrinsic permeability K. In most cases, when permeability data are provided for a type of soil or geological formation, these data are based on hydraulic conductivity measurements and describe how easily the water can flow through this formation. However, the flow characteristic of a fluid depends greatly on its properties, e.g., density p and viscosity p. Equation 14.16 describes the relationship between permeability coefficient k and fluid properties p and p ... 

The investigators divided the collection units into a number of subunits, each subunit measuring 3 ft by 3 ft. A total of 250 different collection units underneath the soil liner were monitored independently to determine the rate of flow. The objective was to correlate the variability of the hydraulic conductivity of the liner with the molding water content of the soil and with the dry density of the compacted soil. 

The second interesting sidelight was the conclusion that no relationship existed between in situ hydraulic conductivity and either molding water content of the soil or the dry density of the compacted soil. 

The mechanism for sedimentation (clarification) is based on the density difference between SS and liquid. In addition, SS with larger particle sizes can settle down more easily. Rectangular tanks, circular tanks, combination flocculator-clarifiers, and stacked multilevel clarifiers can be used.14 Oliveira et al.15 reported that flocculation and sedimentation were conducted in the cassava meal industry and reduced the effluent concentration of organics from 14,000 to 2000 mg/L in the bench-scale reactor, with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 37 min. 

A sludge is to be transported by pipeline. It has been determined that the sludge may be described by the power law model, with a flow index of 0.6, an apparent viscosity of 50 cP at a shear rate of 1 s-1, and a density of 95 lbm/ft3. What hydraulic horsepower would be required to pump the slurry at a rate of 600 gpm through a 6 in. ID pipe that is 5 mi long ...
