Figure 3.2 Trouton ratio, Tr, of uniaxial extensional viscosity to zero-shear viscosity jq after start-up of steady uniaxial extension at a rate of 1 sec i for a Boger fluid consisting of a 0.185 wt% solution of flexible polyisobutylene (Mu, = 2.11 x 10 ) in a solvent composed mostly of viscous polybutene with some added kerosene (solid line). The dashed line is a fit of a multimode FENE dumbbell model, where each mode is represented by a FENE dumbbell model, with a spring law given by Eq. (3-56), without preaveraging, as described in Section 3.6.2.2.I. The relaxation times were obtained by fitting the linear viscoelastic data, G (co) and G"(cu). The slowest mode, with ri = 5 sec, dominates the behavior at large strains the best fit is obtained by choosing for it an extensibility parameter of = 40,000. The value of S — = 3(0.82) n/C(x, predicted from the...

Comparisons of the predictions of the FENE dumbbell model with measurements of the extensional viscosity of dilute solutions have been fairly encouraging. Figure 3-2 compares the Trouton ratio predicted by a multimode FENE dumbbell model with experimental data for a Roger fluid Good agreement is obtained if one uses a value of the... 

A graded size distribution, where fine particles fill the interstices between coarse particles as shown schematically in Fig. 4, will minimize the amount of void space that must be filled by fluid, and so will reduce the quantity of liquid needed to produce a flowable slurry. The best size distributions for this purpose have proven to be multimodal distributions, made up of several fairly narrow size fractions. An example of such a size distribution is shown in Table 1. To achieve such a multimodal size distribution, coal slurry production facilities are designed to generate several coal streams, which are each ground and sized to the desired particle sizes and then combined to give the proper size distribution.

A Nanoscope IIIA Multimode (Digital Instruments, Santa Barbara, CA) was used for the atomic force microscopy measurements. The AFM was operated in the force mode, with a scan rate of 1 Hz and a z-piezo total displacement of 500 nm. Both approach/extension and retraction force curves of the cantilever were recorded. The experiments were performed in liquid, using an open fluid cell and letting the system equilibrate for 30—60 min. All buffers were filtered through a 0.22 fj,m pore size filter. 

Coupled systems include multidimensional and multimodal systems. Multidimensional chromatography involves two columns in series preferably two capillary columns, with different selectivity or sample capacity, to optimize the selectivity of some compounds of interest in complex profiles or to provide an enrichment of relevant fractions. In multimodal systems, two chromatographic methods or eventually a sample preparation unit and a chromatographic method are coupled in series. Coupled systems that received much interest in recent years are multidimensional CGC (MDCGC), the combination of high-performance liquid chromatography with CGC (HPLC-CGC) and the on- or off-line combination of supercritical fluid extraction with CGC (SFE-CGC). Multidimensional and multimodal techniques in chromatography arc described in detail in [65],... 

The term multimodal has been used in two ways in TLC, to designate layers such as bonded cyano sorbents that can operate with two or more mechanisms (see Section IV.C) or, in the context of this section, to specify multidimensional separations that are performed by coupling TLC, HPTLC, or OPLC (223) with another technique, such as gas chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography (224), countercurrent chromatography (225), and, most commonly, HPLC (145, 226-228), in order to improve the separation capacity available from either of the individual methods. For example, the combination of adsorption AMD-HPTLC and partition HPLC for water analysis produced as many as 700 individual densitometric peaks (49). Multimodal TLC separations have been reviewed (229-231). 

The force measurements were done by the colloidal probe technique in contact mode using a NanoScope III MultiMode AFM (Digital Instruments, California) equipped with a fluid cell and a scanner E, vertical engagement, using an 0-ring. When measuring forces between cellulose beads, the bead attached to the cantilever was placed directly on top of a bead on the sample support. The position of the bead was checked using the optical microscope of the AFM instrument.

There are many classes of CSPs applicable in different mobile-phase modes. In particular, CSPs based on derivatized polysaccharides, native and derivatized cyclodextrins, macrocyclic glycopeptides, and Pirkle-type chiral selectors operate quite well in four separation modes, i.e RP, polar organic phase, NP, and super- or subcritical fluid chromatography (SFC) conditions. It is common that a chiral compound can be separated on the same CSP in more than one separation mode [58, 160, 166, 170-176]. For example, Nutlin-3, a small molecule antagonist of MDM2, has been baseline resolved from its enantiomer in all four mobile-phase conditions (Fig. 16) [170]. Multimodal enantioseparation on the same CSP would be greatly beneflcial for chiral method development in pharmaceutical industry. 

The decay is generally not in the form of a simple exponential decay function, but usually deviates from it because of various complexities in the fluid, such as particle size distribution in solution and/or multimodes of molecular motions. Those non-single exponential decays can be expressed as a linear superposition of monoexponential decays, weighted with a distribution frmction G(r, ), the spectrum of decay rates, resulting in a Laplace transformation.
