Unbounded dispersions

At a bilirubin albumin molecular ratio below one the added binding protein will thus act as a kind of buffer, keeping the concentration of unbound substrate sufficiently low to inhibit colloid formation (B25) or precipitation onto bound bilirubin (B26), and will prevent aspecific binding to cell particulates. The binding protein can also be thought of as a reservoir providing a continuous stream of molecularly dispersed sub-... 

Hydrocolloidal water is an integral part of the dispersed phase and travels at the same velocity with it this is considered tightly bound water. Yakubu et al. (1990) identified three other forms of water in potato and com starch, viz., weakly bound, surface trapped, and bulk water. All forms were not present in potato starch containing less than 35% moisture, but were present in corn starch. Water, far removed from the solute surface (unbound or free water in the outer volume), travels at a different rate from hydrocolloidal water (Lechert et al., 1981). 

The present work aims at the following (i) To derive the stability criterion for gas-liquid, solid-hquid, gas-sohd, and gas-hquid-solid unbounded dispersions, (ii) To understand the physical significance of all the terms in the stability criterion, (hi) To present the relative merits of all the previous approaches, (iv) To make an attempt to give physical significance to the unbounded and bounded bed analyses, (v) To analyze all the published experimental information on the stability of gas-liquid, solid-liquid, gas-solid, and gas-liquid-sohd systems, (vi) To bring out the relative uthity of the unbounded and bounded bed analyses, (vii) To present a generalized... 

In Sections II and VI, the stability of multiphase systems was analyzed for unbounded and bounded beds, respectively. In the unbounded case, it was dispersion that was the most important parameter in deciding the stability of the system. An increase in the dispersion coefficient led to a... 

In Eq. (33), N is the molecular density (i.e., molecules per unit surface area) A is the dispersion coefficient the subscripts s and f refer to the adsorbent and adsorbate, respectively and d = (2/5) The 10-4 potential is obtained by integrating the I.ennard-Jones potential over an unbounded planar surface [105], The dispersion coefficients are calculated using the Kirkwood-Muller equations (as reported in Ref. 19)... 

For convenience, the relevant dimensionless numbers for gas-particle flow derived in this section are collected in Table 1.1. In practice, one must choose appropriate values for U and L corresponding to a particular problem. For example, they may be determined by the inlet and/or boundary conditions. However, one case of particular interest is particles falling in an unbounded domain for which convenient choices are T = t/p and U = ul = Up - f/gl = Tp g (i.e. the settling velocity). For this case, there is no source term for p and so it relaxes to zero at steady state due to the drag. The disperse-phase Mach number thus becomes infinite. For settling problems, the particle Archimedes number (see Table 1.1) is often used in place of the Froude number. 

Mazo (1998) points out that when the time is sufficiently long that diffusing particles can sample the entire velocity distribution (e.g., the entire cross-section perpendicular to flow in a capillary tube), the velocity distribution of each particle is the same as that of the distribution of velocities in the flow. In an unbounded flow regime, an infinite time would be required and anomalous dispersion results. 

The exponential dispersion is only valid until the distance between the particles is smaller than the characteristic length scale of the flow. If initially there is a finite distance, So, between the two particles, 0 < o -C L, the exponential growth S(t) So exp(Aii) saturates at around ts ln(L/ o). If the advection takes place within a bounded domain, then after this time the distance between the two particles fluctuates chaotically and is comparable to the size of the domain. In the case of an open unbounded system, e.g. in a spatially periodic velocity field, the dispersion becomes diffusive and 5(t) t1/2 for large t.

The exposure of the unbound material to water and atmosphere and its influence on water chemistry and emissions are illustrated in Fig. 5. When exposed to water and gas unstable minerals dissolves and more stable mineral may precipitate. These reactions change the material properties and control the water chemistry. The dissolved elements are transported under the influence of advection and dispersion out of the system and become an emission.
