Here, and Tjn are the fluid saturation temperature and inlet temperature, respectively W and L are the width and length of the microchannel heat sink, respectively and h is the latent heat of vaporization. Finally, they provided the numerical procedure for the optimal design of two-phase microchannel heat sink either... 

In the presence of isobutanol, the oil/dilute micellar solution interface became more fluid and the flattening time decreased from 90 seconds to less than a second or 420 seconds to less than a second, and the final oil saturation decreased from 30% to 5.36% and 11.73% to 1.28% respectively for the two systems mentioned above. Furthermore, it was observed that after the arrival of the oil bank, the AP leveled off for the isobutanol containing systems, whereas it continuously increased for the systems without isobutanol. This observation is consistent with the proposed role of alcohol in lowering the interfacial viscosity and promoting coalescence of oil ganglia in porous media. 

The mean enthalpy of the gas hg at the same exit conditions is 183.8 kJ/kg. Since the fluid enters as saturated liquid, the mean quality x is 0.006 and the final fluid density is given by Eq. (7.97). Using the thermodynamic properties tabulated by Stewart, the final fluid density is... 

In conclusion, it should be pointed out that recently [51], a considerable growth of specific fluid volumetric flow rates was discovered near the saturation pressure on filtra tion of the solution of C02 in normal heptane and gas-liquid fossil carbohydrates (oils). A possible explanation of this effect can be found in the above theoretical discussion. Finally, going back to M. Amon and C. D. Denson s work [33], which was discussed at the end of Sect. 4, let us admit that their thesis No. 4 (melt properties as regards thermoplastic itself do not depend on gas concentration) is quite correct and in good correlation with experimental results [21]. 

It is tempting to place significance on the relative magnitudes of the saturation indices calculated for various minerals and then to relate these values to the amounts of minerals likely to precipitate from solution. The data in Table 6.6, however, suggest no such relationship. Thirteen minerals are supersaturated in the initial fluid, but the phase rule limits to ten the number of minerals that can form only two (dolomite and quartz) appear in the final phase assemblage. 

Figure 26.7. Only after the mineral has almost disappeared does the silica concentration begin to decrease. Since the surface area and rate constant for cristobalite are considerably greater than those of quartz, the fluid remains near equilibrium with cristobalite until it in turn nearly disappears. Finally, after several hundred thousand years of reaction, the fluid approaches saturation with quartz and hence thermodynamic equilibrium.

Direct sampling and analysis of the effluent stream may be used to determine the solubility of the heavy phase in the volatile component (often a supercritical fluid). Alternatively, the composition can be determined from the total volume of gas (i.e., of the supercritical fluid after expansion) passed through the saturator, and from the known mass of solute extracted during die sample-collecting period. The efflluent stream is expanded to atmospheric pressure via an expansion valve. Then it passes through a cold trap, where the extract is quantitatively precipitated or condensed, and finally proceeds to a dry-test or a wet-test gas meter or other device, where the total amount of the passed gas is measured. The amount of extracted solute... 

Cool the serum to 4°C, and stir slowly. Add saturated ammonium sulfate solution dropwise to produce 35-45% final saturation (see Note 4) Alternatively, add solid ammonium sulfate to give the desired saturation (2 7 g of ammonium sul-fate/10 mL of fluid = 45% saturation). Stir at 4°C for 1-4 h or overnight...
