Alternatively, experimental measurement of the variation of equilibrium continuous liquid holdup with position for a concentrated oil-in-water emulsion can be employed to infer the variation of disjoining pressure with film thickness. Since the continuous phase liquid holdup e is known as a function of position, xp, Op and r can be calculated using equations 7,21 and 24. Equation 24 will then yield the disjoining pressure II at the film thickness xp. ... 

The Pseudo-Phase Model Consider a process in which surfactant is added to water that is acting as a solvent. Initially the surfactant dissolves as monomer species, either as molecules for a non-ionic surfactant or as monomeric ions for an ionic surfactant. When the concentration of surfactant reaches the CMC, a micelle separates from solution. In the pseudo-phase model,20 the assumption is made that this micelle is a separate pure phase that is in equilibrium with the dissolved monomeric surfactant. To maintain equilibrium, continued addition of surfactant causes the micellar phase to grow, with the concentration of the monomer staying constant at the CMC value. This relationship is shown in Figure 18.14 in which we plot m, the stoichiometric molality,y against mj, the molality of the monomer in the solution. Below the CMC, m = m2, while above the CMC, m2 = CMC and the fraction a of the surfactant present as monomer... 

The equilibrium continues to shift as the temperature of the reaction-gas mixture falls. Eventually a further 15% of the nitrogen oxide has reacted to form nitrogen dioxide, and 3% of this nitrogen dioxide reacts to form nitrogen tetroxide. 

In each of these cases, all the glucose in the solution crystallizes as the favored anomer. In the solution, the two anomers are in equilibrium through a small amount of the open-chain form, and this equilibrium continues to supply more of the anomer that is crystallizing out of solution. 

Equilibrium Conversion. For reversible reactions carried out in a semibatcli reactor, the maximum, attainable conversion (i.e., the equilibrium conversion) win change as the reaction proceeds because more reactant is continuously added to the reactor. This addition shifts the equilibrium continually to the right. Consider the reversible reaction... 

Thermodynamic Properties. - The drive towards a consistent theory of thermodynamics far from equilibrium continues to motivate a number of researchers and we consider some of these in this section. A major and long-lasting controversy in formulations of irreversible thermodynamics is due to the...

Thus, a system at equilibrium continues to be dynamic at the molecular level, but we observe no furthernet change because changes in one direction are balanced by changes in the other.

Aldol reactions typically give the most stable product, since the reversible reaction undergoes equihbration and is controlled by thermodynamics. In the intramolecular aldol reaction shown below, products A and B are not favored products. Since A is a more reactive aldehyde and B is a less stable 7-membered ring, these products are both more likely to do the reverse reaction, the retro-aldol. As this equilibrium continues, the most stable product will become the major one. In intermolecular aldol reactions, the more stable alkene product is expected.
