The kinetic scheme with constant reaction of the polymer/monomer droplet increases fairly quickly with conversion, and the mobility of the polymer chains rapidly falls below the mobility of the monomer. The reduced diffusion of live polymer chains in the droplet will reduce the rate of termination of polymerization. The associated increase in the number of radicals will cause a rapid increase in the polymerization rate. This phenomenon is well known as the Trommsdorf or gel effect [8,9]. The gel effect causes a growth of the polymer chain length and widening of the molecular weight distribution (Figure 9.5). 

Figure 8.12 illustrates three potential spray pattern conditions from a two-fluid nozzle. Round spray patterns and the like do not adequately extend across the bed surface and tend to over wet at the localized spray positions. Addition of suitable pattern air widens and flattens the spray into a linear shape that extends over a wider swath of the bed surface. Excess pattern air disrupts the flat pattern to create an uneven spray and imparts unneeded energy that contributes to spray drying and errant spray droplets that can coat the pan or gun surfaces. 

The mass transfer requirement stipulates that the patella (connecting strip) cannot be larger than 5 mm in width. If the patella is larger than that, a droplet will form on the surface, which will effectively reduce the wetted surface available for the reaction. If the patella is less than 5mm in width, the liquid is capable of moving over the surface without accumulating. The result is that the operating range is widened. The downside is that as the width is decreased, the pressure drop increases. This increase may limit the economics of the process.

In the second step, the reservoir was narrowed to a 50 pm channel to allow one droplet at a time to move towards the fusion step with the coumaphos solution (Fig. 3b). Each droplet was merged with a coumaphos solution (concentration 10 mM flow rate 2 pLTh). The fusion only occurred when an electric field was applied (200 V 14 kHz) between the electrodes located close to the junction. Immediately following this fusion, the channel was widened to 400 pm to form a reservoir so that the droplets could be contained there for 3 min. During this incubation period, the newly synthesized enzyme converts coumaphos to chlorferon in the droplets. 

The blood vessels of nerves appear moderately sclerotic. The subcapsular space is frequently widened by an exudate containing protein and fat. In summary, nerve changes are similar to those occurring with Wallerian degeneration, associated with variable degrees of connective tissue hyperplasia. Histochemical studies show that there is lipid deposition as droplets or in the form of phagocytized material (Cammermeyer 1956, Alexander 1966) along the whole course of peripheral nerves.
