Fingering

Miblimation The volatilization of a solid substance into the vapour phase without passing through the liquid phase. Also used to describe the process of purification in which the vapour is condensed directly from the vapour phase to a solid (on a cold-finger often cooled by refrigerant). In the latter case this substance may melt during the initial vaporization. Used for purification. 

If the mobility ratio is greater than 1.0, then there will be a tendency for the water to move preferentially through the reservoir, and give rise to an unfavourable displacement front which is described as viscous fingering. If the mobility ratio is less than unity, then one would expect stable displacement, as shown in Figure 8.16. The mobility ratio may be influenced by altering the fluid viscosities, and this is further discussed in Section 8.8, when enhanced oil recovery is introduced. 

Frozen fish fingers and similar products are made from a mixture of different fish that arrive at the processing plant as frozen blocks of the average size 62.7 x 254 x 482 mm (thick x width x length). The frozen blocks are minced and the still frozen minced fish blocks are mixed and pressed into the desired shape, covered with batter and bread crumbs, baked on the outside (still with a frozen core), packed and stored in a deep freezer. 

The transducers discussed above were designed to propagate waves in both directions normal to the direction of the fingers. It has been shown [17] that they produce a roughly collimated beam so they can be used to inspect a band of structure whose width is the transducer finger length the maximum distance away from the transducer covered by the beam is dependent on the attenuation of the wave and the signal-noise ratio, but is typically around 1-2 m in a... 

A drop of surfactant solution will, under certain conditions, undergo a fingering instability as it spreads on a surface [27, 28]. This instability is attributed to the Marongoni effect (Section IV-2D) where the process is driven by surface tension gradients. Pesach and Marmur have shown that Marongoni flow is also responsible for enhanced spreading... 

Sublimation. This is a most useful process for small-scale work as the losses are comparatively small. This can be performed (a) In a long narrow tube sealed at one end. The material is shaken to the closed end of the tube, which is then inserted horizontally in a metal-heating block (Fig. 50) (b) In the cold-finger device (Fig. 35, p. 62)-... 

Vapours which can be readily condensed e.g., chloroform, aniline, nitro-benzene, etc.) are readily detected by the device shown in Fig. 5 i(b). It is essentially a cold finger with a deep indentation or weU at the lower end. In this way two or three drops of liquid can easily be collected and removed by a capillary tube for qualitative tests. 

The liquid becomes progressively darker in colour, and then effervesces gently as ethylene is evolved. Allow the gas to escape from the delivery-tube in T for several minutes in order to sweep out the air in F and B. Now fill a test-tube with water, close it with the finger, and invert the tube in the water in T over the delivery-tube so that a sample of the gas collects in the tube. Close the tube again with the finger, and then light the gas at a Bunsen burner at a safe distance from the apparatus. If the tube contains pure ethylene, the latter burns with a clear pale blue (almost invisible) flame if the ethylene still contains air, the mixture in the test-tube ignites with a sharp report. Allow the... 

Place about i g. of the base in a test-tube, and cover with concentrated (about 20%) sodium hydroxide solution. Bring the mixture gently to the boil, keeping the test-tube lightly closed with the finger meanwhile to prevent undue escape of vapour.. A.s the solution boils a strong fishy odour of dimethylamine is detected, and white fumes form when the test-tube is held near an open bottle of concentrated... 

Acetylation. Place 1 ml. of the substance (or, if solid, i g. of the powdered amine) in a small flask fitted with a reflux condenser (or in a test-tube fitted with a cold-finger, as in Fig. 35, p. 62), add 5 ml. of an acetic anhydride-acetic acid mixture (equal volumes) and reflux... 

The liquid in B rapidly volatilises at the bottom of the tube T, the stopper being thrown off, and bubbles of air escape from D into the tube C. Continue boiling the liquid in J steadily until no more bubbles escape into C. Then carefully slip the end of D from under the tube C, close the end of C securely with the finger, and then transfer the tube to a gas-jar of water, so that the level of the water inside and outside C can be equalised. Measure the volume of air in C, and note the room temperature and the barometric pressure. The vapour density can now be calculated (see p. 428). 

In Equation (1.28) function M(t - r ) is the time-dependent memory function of linear viscoelasticity, non-dimensional scalars 4>i and 4>2 and are the functions of the first invariant of Q(t - f ) and F, t t ), which are, respectively, the right Cauchy Green tensor and its inverse (called the Finger strain tensor) (Mitsoulis, 1990). The memory function is usually expressed as... 

The inverse of the Cauchy-Green tensor, Cf, is called the Finger strain tensor. Physically the single-integral constitutive models define the viscoelastic extra stress Tv for a fluid particle as a time integral of the defonnation history, i.e. 

Therefore the Eulerian description of the Finger strain tensor, given in terms of the present and past position vectors x and x of the fluid particle as > x ), can now be expressed as... 

A modified Hempel column, which incorporates a small reflux condenser ( cold finger or cold spot condenser ), is shown in Fig. 11,... 

CAUTION. Sodium must be handled with great care and under no circumstances may the metal be allowed to come into contact with water as a dangerous explosion may result. Sodium is stored under solvent naphtha or xylene it should not be handled with the fingers but with tongs or pincers. Waste or scrap pieces of sodium should be placed in a bottle provided for the purpose and containing solvent naphtha or xylene they should never be thrown into the sink or into the waste box. If it is desired to destroy the scrap sodium, it should be added in small portions to rather a large quantity of methylated spirit. 

Sublimation under reduced pressure. The so-called vacuum sublimation may be carried out in the apparatus of Fig. II, 45, 4. The cold finger is fitted into the larger tube by means of a rubber stopper... 

Stoppers. Those fitted with 514,519, and 524 cones are useful sizes. Stoppers with flat heads are to be preferred, since they may be stood on end when not in pse, thus avoiding contamination of the ground surface. An additional refinement is the provision of a finger grip as in Fig. II, 56,1. 

Improved results are also secured by the use of a short reflux condenser ( cold finger ), Fig. 11, 56, 22, inserted into the top of the column head the simplest type is shown in Fig. 11, 56, 23. The condenser permits con trol of the reflux ratio by adjusting the rate of flow of water through it. 

Fractional distillation. Fig. II, 60, 2 illustrates a set-up for fractional distillation wdth a Hempel-type column and cold finger, the latter to give manual control of the reflux ratio. Any other fractionating colunm, e.g., an all-glass Dufton or a Widmer column may, of course, be used. 

Fig. XII, 2, 1). For very small volumes of liquid either of the apparatus depicted in Fig. XII, 2, 10, incorporating a cold finger condenser may be employed subsequent distillation (or steam distillation) is a facile...

Sublimation.—This is a valuable means for the purification of many organic substances and is admirably adapted for small scale work since losses are generally small. Sublimation may be carried out either at atmospheric pressure or under reduced pressure. The apparatus shown in Fig. XII, 2, 20 is simple and effective the sublimate is collected on the cold finger condenser.
