Velocity maps of simple or complex liquids, emulsions, suspensions and other mixtures in various geometries provide valuable information about macroscopic and molecular properties of materials in motion. Two- and three-dimensional spin echo velocity imaging methods are used, where one or two dimensions contain spatial information and the remaining dimension or the image intensity contains the information of the displacement of the spins during an observation time. This information is used to calculate the velocity vectors and the dispersion at each position in the spatially resolved dimensions with the help of post-processing software. The range of observable velocities depends mainly on the time the spins... 

Suppose the pan of a balance is positioned at some convenient location below the surface of a dispersion. As sedimentation occurs, the settled material collects on the balance pan. The total weight W of the material on the pan is measured at various times t, either by adding counterweights to a second pan or by noting the displacement of a calibrated fiber that supports the pan. The following example suggests how this kind of data is analyzed. 

The first two terms on the right-hand side of Eq. (15) are conventionally ascribed to dispersive media [62, p. 9], while the third term is the displacement current density id [66, Chap. 9], The latter may be easily observed in material media (air) see, for instance, Carver and Rajhel [68] and Bartlett and Corle [69]. It is... 

Solid particles are not readily wettable when air is entrapped because the contact angle widens. Hydroscopic (or water-miscible) materials such as glycerin, alcohol, and glycol penetrate the spaces occupied by air and displace it. During the dispersion process, the hydroscopic materials separate the agglomerates and coat the particles so that water can flow into and wet the particles. 

In photoconductive pigment electrophotography, the photosensitive material is incorporated into toner particles that are dispersed in an insulating liquid or softenable resin. The effect of the exposure is to create a variable charge on toner particles, w hich are then displaced by a field. The more common variants of this process are photoelectrophoresis and migration imaging. In photo-... 

Let us discuss the results of studies [13, 16-21], obtained through studying isothermal flows of keroplasts. In compliance with the above-mentioned facts these results can be applied to the description of the rheologic behaviour of compositional polymer materials with various disperse inert fillers. At displacement speeds corresponding to the speeds realized under the conditions of processing thermoplastic compositions, the Newton flow area was obtained on the flow curves (FC) of sevilene-based keroplasts but not with other keroplasts (polyethylene and polystyrene-based). 

Another model of experimental interest concerns the case of a highly conductive shell around practically non-conductive material. It may be applied to macromolecules or colloidal particles in electrolyte solution which usually have counterion atmospheres so that the field may displace freely movable ionic charges on their surfaces. The resulting dielectric effect turns out to be equivalent to a simple Maxwell-Wagner dispersion of particles having an apparent bulk conductivity of... 

Chapters 10 to 13 review the solutions of the equilibrium-dispersive model for a single component (Chapter 10), and multicomponent mixtures in elution (Chapter 11) and in displacement (Chapter 12) chromatography and discuss the problems of system peaks (Chapter 13). These solutions are of great practical importance because they provide realistic models of band profiles in practically all the applications of preparative chromatography. Mass transfer across the packing materials currently available (which are made of very fine particles) is fast. The contribution of mass transfer resistance to band broadening and smoothing is small compared to the effect of thermodynamics and can be properly accounted for by the use of an apparent dispersion coefficient independent of concentration (Chapter 10).
