Provides measuring techniques of contact angle, surface tension, interfacial tension, and bubble pressure. Suitable methods for both static and dynamic inteifacial tension of liquids include du Nous ring, Wilhelmy plate, spinning drop, pendant drop, bubble pressure, and drop volume techniques. Methods for solids include sessile drop, dynamic Wilhelmy, single fiber, and powder contact angle techniques. 

A number of methods are available for the measurement of surface and interfacial tension of liquid systems. Surface tension of liquids is determined by static and dynamic surface tension methods. Static surface tension characterises the surface tension of the liquid in equilibrium and the commonly used measurement methods are Du Notiy ring, Wilhelmy plate, spinning drop and pendant drop. Dynamic surface tension determines the surface tension as a function of time and the bubble pressure method is the most common method used for its determination. 

The dynamic methods depend on the fact that certain vibrations of a liquid cause periodic extensions and contractions of its surface, which are resisted or assisted by the surface tension. Surface tension therefore forms an important part, or the whole, of the restoring force which is concerned in these vibrations, and may be calculated from observations of their periodicity. Dynamic methods include determination of the wave-length of ripples, of the oscillations of jets issuing from non-circular orifices, and of the oscillations of hanging drops. Dynamic methods may measure a different quantity from the static methods, in the case of solutions, as the surface is constantly being renewed in some of these methods, and may not be old enough for adsorption to have reached equilibrium. In the formation of ripples there is so little interchange of material between the surface and interior, and so little renewal of the surface, that the surface tension measured is the static tension ( 12. ... 

A useful compilation of research on bubble and drop dynamics in the context of space experiments and space processing of materials can he found in the proceedings of a colloquium sponsored by NASA T. G. Wang (ed.), Proceedings of the Third International Colloquium on Drops and Bubbles, AIP Conference Proceedings, 197 (American Institute of Physics, Melville, NY, 1989). 

The determination of the effective surface age is the key for comparison of results obtained by different experimental techniques. If for example the drop volume technique is used in its "classical" version, which is based on continuously growing drops, dynamic surface tensions are obtained as a function of drop formation time. It was shown in the previous chapter, that the process of adsorption at the surface of a growing drop is overlapped by a radial flow inside the drop, which changes the diffusion profile. In addition, the drop area increases and...

As shown in Figure 3.51, a dynamic hydrocyclone consists of a rotating cylinder, axial inlet and outlet, reject nozzle, and external motor. The rotation of the cylinder creates a "free vortex." The tangential speed is inversely proportional to the distance to the centerhne of the cyclone. Since there is no complex geometry that requires a high pressure drop, dynamic imits can operate at lower inlet pressures (approximately 50 psig) than static imits. In addition, the effect of the reject ratio is not as important in dynamic imits as it is in static units. 

The movement of the neutron absorber is suitably damped by a shock absorber at the end of travel to prevent damage to the control rod. Vane type rotary hydraulic dashpots with oil reservoir are commonly used as shock absorbers. Double vane can be used to balance forces on dashpot shaft arising from high oil pressure during damping action. Detailed theoretical analysis as well as experimental investigations are necessary to optimize the rod drop dynamics.
