Dispersion Formation, Subdivision, and Coalescence. The ability to create and control dispersions at distances far from the injection well will be critical to the field-use of dispersion-based mobility control. The early studies of Bernard and Holm, followed by more recent work by Hirasaki, Falls, and co-workers, and others showed that the flow properties of surfactant-induced dispersions depend on the presence and composition of oil, volume ratio of the dispersed and continuous phases, capillary pressure, and capillary number (35,37,39-41,52-54,68). However, it is the size of the droplets or bubbles that dominates dispersion flow (39,68). Moreover, early debates on the ratio of droplet (or bubble) size to pore size have been resolved by ample evidence showing that, under commonly employed conditions, droplets are larger than pores (39). Only for very large capillary numbers (i.e., for interfacial tensions of ca. 

The value of O is determined by the ion-molecule energy surface that has repulsive and attractive parts. The repulsive part is mostly controlled by molecular dimensions as described above. The attractive part comprises induced dipole-induced dipole (dispersion) and charge-induced dipole (polarization) interactions. Both forces, and thus any combination of them, scale with ap that varies by 1.5 orders of magnitude for common gases, increasing in the series He, Ne, Ar, air or N2, CO2 or CH4, SFfi (Table 1.2). 

Originally, the height of the chimney was designed to produce a draft sufficient to produce induced-draft air for combustion. With modern boiler plant, forced-draft and/or induced-draft fans are used. This allows for the greater degree of control of the air to be designed into the combustion appliance. The chimney is therefore only required to disperse the gases. 

The control of sedimentation is required to ensure a sufficient and uniform dosage. Sedimentation behavior of a disperse system depends largely on the motion of the particles which may be thermally or gravitationally induced. If a suspended particle is sufficiently small in size, the thermal forces will dominate the gravitational forces and the particle will follow a random motion owing to molecular bombardment, called Brownian motion. The distance moved or displacement, Dt, is given by ...
