Hydrodynamics basic principles

General hydrodynamic theory for liquid penetrant testing (PT) has been worked out in [1], Basic principles of the theory were described in details in [2,3], This theory enables, for example, to calculate the minimum crack s width that can be detected by prescribed product family (penetrant, excess penetrant remover and developer), when dry powder is used as the developer. One needs for that such characteristics as surface tension of penetrant a and some characteristics of developer s layer, thickness h, effective radius of pores and porosity TI. One more characteristic is the residual depth of defect s filling with penetrant before the application of a developer. The methods for experimental determination of these characteristics were worked out in [4]. 

The static laser light scattering apparatus used as an on-line GPC detector has been popular for a while. Here, we illustrate another but less known method of combining the results from (gel permeation chromatography) and DLS. The basic principle is as follows There is a similarity between these two tools in that the translational diffusion coefficient D obtained by DLS and the elution volume V in GPC are related to the hydrodynamic size of a given macromolecule. In a first approximation, if the hydrodynamic size is proportional to the molar mass, we have...

Chromatography, the process by which the components of a mixture can be separated, has become one of the primary analytical methods for the identification and quantification of compounds in the gaseous or liquid state. The basic principle is based on the concentration equilibrium of the components of interest, between two immiscible phases. One is called the stationary phase, because it is immobilized within a column or fixed upon a support, while the second, called the mobile phase, is forced through the first. The phases are chosen such that components of the sample have differing solubilities in each phase. The differential migration of compounds lead to their separation. Of all the instrumental analytical techniques this hydrodynamic procedure is the one with the broadest application. Chromatography occupies a dominant position that all laboratories involved in molecular analysis can confirm. 

Since this book is dedicated to the dynamic properties of surfactant adsorption layers it would be useful to give a overview of their typical properties. Subsequent chapters will give a more detailed description of the structure of a surfactant adsorption layer and its formation, models and experiments of adsorption kinetics, the composition of the electrical double layer, and the effect of dynamic adsorption layers on different flow processes. We will show that the kinetics of adsorption/desorption is not only determined by the diffusion law, but in selected cases also by other mechanisms, electrostatic repulsion for example. This mechanism has been studied intensively by Dukhin (1980). Moreover, electrostatic retardation can effect hydrodynamic retardation of systems with moving bubbles and droplets carrying adsorption layers (Dukhin 1993). Before starting with the theoretical foundation of the complicated relationships of nonequilibrium adsorption layers, this introduction presents only the basic principles of the chemistry of surfactants and their actions on the properties of adsorption layers. 

The chemical engineer will be interested particularly in applying the basic principles of transport phenomena to problems involving separations processes, combustion, polymer processing, interfacial hydrodynamics, multiphase flow, and biomedical engineering. In all of these areas it will be the task of the chemical engineer to utilize the basic theory of transport phenomena innovatively in solving practical problems for the beneflt of society. 

Particle Size and PSD. According to the basic principles that they are based on, the techniques for measuring these important characteristics of the latexes are classified into four major groups [196] (i) microscopy, (ii) light scattering, (iii) particle movement (e.g., capillary hydrodynamic chromatography and field flow fractionation methods), and... 

Universal Calibration In the conventional calibration (described above), there is a problem when a sample that is chemically different from the standards used to calibrate the column is analyzed. However, this is a common situation for instance, a polyethylene sample is run by GPC while the calibration curve is constructed with polystyrene standards. In this case, the MW obtained with the conventional calibration is a MW related to polystyrene, not to polyethylene. On the other hand, it is very expensive to constmct calibration curves of every polymer that is analyzed by GPC. In order to solve this problem, a universal calibration technique, based on the concept of hydrodynamic volume, is used. As mentioned before, the basic principle behind GPC/SEC is that macromolecules are separated on the basis of their hydrodynamic radius or volume. Therefore, in the universal calibration a relationship is made between the hydrodynamic volume and the retention (or, more properly, elution volume) volume, instead of the relationship between MW and elution volume used in the conventional calibration. The universal calibration theory assumes that two different macromolecules will have the same elution volume if they have the same hydrodynamic volume when they are in the same solvent and at the same temperature. Using this principle and the constants K and a from the Mark-Houwink-Sakurada equation (Eq. 17.18), it is possible to obtain the absolute MW of an unknown polymer. The universal calibration principle works well with linear polymers however, it is not applicable to branched polymers. 

Though this experiment deals with a particularly simple situation, the basic principle that it illustrates is relevant to the discussions that follow on hydrodynamic instability ( 3.11).

In order to design the appropriate liquid chromatography separation system, it is necessary to nnderstand on molecular level some basic principles and tendencies of the processes taking place in the chromatographic column. Above processes resnlt in differences in retention of sample constituents to allow their mutual separation. Extent of retention of macromolecules within colutim reflects the volume of mobile phase needed for their elution, their abovementioned retention volume, V. For the sake of simplicity, let us consider constant overall experimental conditions that is the elnent flow rate, temperature and pressure drop. The latter two parameters are dictated not only by the inherent hydrodynamic resistance of colunm that is inflnenced by the eluent viscosity, size and shape of packing particles but also by the sample viscosity, which may be rather high in polymer HPLC. Further, only one variable molecular characteristic of separated macromolecules will be... 

Retention in the separation segment of the FIA-HFFF channel is expected to be equivalent to that observed in a conventional asymmetrical channel system, if complete hydrodynamic relaxation can be obtained. It will follow basic principles, as shown by the retention ratio, R, given by... 

When a particle is subject to Brownian motion and irradiated, two frequencies of equal intensity are generated in addition to the frequency that would normally be scattered, inducing a positive and a negative Doppler shift proportional to the particle velocity. The interference between the nonshifted wave (photon reemission) and the two waves due to Brownian motion yields infinitesimal variations in intensity. Detection of these is the basic principle of DLS, which is therefore particularly suited to the study of properties of solutions. The scattered intensity is acquired as a function of time and is then self-correlated. This yields the relaxation time due to the Brownian motion and leads to the characterization of the particle size through hydrodynamic models of the diffusion coefficients. 

This chapter is aimed at giving a concise presentation of the necessary tools. The first section of this chapter is devoted to the basic principles of hydrodynamics. In the second section, a description of hydrodynamic interactions between moving particles in a fluid is presented. Limitation is made to the level of the Navier-Stokes theory commonly used in the theory of electrolyte solutions.
