Dispersion regions

Droplet Dispersion. The primary feature of the dispersed flow regime is that the spray contains generally spherical droplets. In most practical sprays, the volume fraction of the Hquid droplets in the dispersed region is relatively small compared with the continuous gas phase. Depending on the gas-phase conditions, Hquid droplets can encounter acceleration, deceleration, coUision, coalescence, evaporation, and secondary breakup during thein evolution. Through droplet and gas-phase interaction, turbulence plays a significant role in the redistribution of droplets and spray characteristics. 

In the normal dispersion region below the first pole, response functions can be expanded in power series in their frequency arguments. The four frequencies, associated with the operator arguments of the cubic response function are related by the matching condition a -fwfl +wc -t-U ) — 0. Thus second hyperpoiarizabiiities or in general cubic response properties are functions of only three independent frequency variables, which may be chosen as u>b, ljc and U > ...

Various theoretical attempts have been made to provide a quantitative interpretation of the dispersion region (Funke, 1986 Funke and Hoppe, 1990). While the situation is still not fully resolved, it is now clear that such a dispersion, which has been observed in a wide range of crystalline as well as glassy ionic conductors, is associated with ion-ion relaxation effects. The conductivity dispersion, ff(co), is usually linear in a plot of log a vs log CO, which means that it can be represented by a power law expression ...

In the previous article (4) we have suggested that for bulk linear amorphous polymers there are two main dispersion regions. The higher frequency region related to the DTO model and the low frequency region perhaps explainable by a modified (by entanglement) RB model. 

Here we suggest that in dilute polymer solutions there very probably exists a high frequency dispersion region corresponding to the DTO model, and examine one possible case, the secondary loss observed in poly (propylene) oxide. 

The interesting question is whether in dilute polymer solutions there exists a low frequency dispersion region described by the RB theory, so that just as in the bulk polymer we have to contend with two dispersion regions. The existence of a RB dispersion region in polymer solutions may be associated with entanglement and hence a very sensitive function of polymer concentration and molecular weight. 

Figure 6 shows a blend of equal weights of Polymers B and D. Separate loss peaks are no longer resolved, but a distinct broadening of the dispersion region is observed which suggests that the blend is two-phase. A ternary blend of equal weights of Polymers B, C, and D (Fig-...

The high frequency limit of for this second process is therefore n. The result of the fit is shown in Table III where the mean values of the various parameters and their associated 95% confidence intervals are given. Considering the small amplitude of the second dispersion both in absolute t rms and in relation to the main dispersion the parameters 6m, n and Y are quite well defined, and therefore it may be concluded that the double Debye representation is an acceptable description of the dielectric behaviour of water up to around 2THz. Other alternative interpretations are clearly possible but no attempt has been made here to follow these up at this stage. What is clear is that a small subsidiary dispersion region in the far infrared is necessary to account for all the presently available permittivity data, and that such a dispersion is centred around 650GHz and has an amplitude of about 2.4 in comparison with that of the principal dispersion which is approximately 75. 

The presence of two peaks in log decrement shows that phase separation has developed sufficiently for regions rich in PPO and 3IGT to be most common. The differences between the temperatures of these two maxima and the Tgs of the blocks if complete phase separation had occurred are shown in Table III. The two peaks in the MEK-cast sample are indicative of a lamella-like morphology. The difference in the size of the peaks in the toluene-cast sample indicates a 3IGT matrix containing PPO-rich dispersed regions. 

Figures 14a and 14b show the logarithm of the storage, E , and loss, E", moduli vs. termperature for specimens cured at 124°C for 5 and 11.5 hours, respectively. The 5 hour sample, as mentioned above, corresponds to a time between the two DSA peaks at 3.5 Hz isothermal scans while the 11.5 hour sample corresponds to a time longer than those of both DSA loss tangent peaks. The E shows an initial decrease (greater in the case of the 5 hour sample than the 11.5 hour sample) followed by an increase and a final decrease at about 250°C. E exhibits three dispersion regions in order of increasing temperature. The first is associated with the softening manifested by the decrease in E", followed by a peak due to chemical reaction, and finally a peak associated with the glass transition of the fully cured resin.

Previous work (8) on partially cured thin-films of two other epoxy resins showed much less temperature separation between softening, further reaction, and ultimate glass transition than is the case with Resin 5208. In fact, overlap between the dispersion regions made it impossible to identify the chemical reaction process. 

DSA analysis of Resin 5208 exhibits two dispersion regions. The first is related to gelation and the second is related to vitrification. The first DSA peak occurs on the attainment of a value for the resin storage modulus slightly lower than that of the rubbery plateau. The first TBA peak occurs at the point where the composite (braid and resin) attains measurable rigidity. 

Thin-films of Resin 5208 with specific isothermal cure histories exhibit three dispersion regions upon heating. The first is attributed to softening, followed by further chemical reaction and finally a peak due to the glass transition of the fully cured resin. Dynamic mechanical testing on thin-films shows that significant reaction takes place between the two DSA loss tangent peaks and that the second DSA peak is associated with vitrification.
