Interacting drops

An example of such a solution spectrum was given in Fig. 1. The dipole contribution to the hyperfine interaction drops out in Eq. (121) leaving the solution A to be primarily determined by the contact term which measures the amount of s character in the spin-moment distribution. 

For electrostatically or sterically interacting drops, emulsion viscosity will be higher when droplets are smaller. The viscosity will also be higher when the droplet sizes are relatively homogeneous, that is, when the drop size distribution is narrow rather than wide. The nature of the emulsifier can influence not just emulsion stability but also the size distribution, mean droplet size, and therefore the viscosity. To describe the effect of emulsifiers on emulsion viscosity Sherman [215] has suggested a modification of the Richardson Equation to the following form ... 

As it was stressed in Section 11.1, the constant of coagulation is symmetric function of interacting drop volumes V and co. Therefore condition K V,co) = K co, V) should be satisfied. Since the dependence (13.18), in view of (13.16), does not provide such property, the approximate expression [100]... 

Coalescence frequency J depends on dimensionless parameters k, p, Sa, Sr, t, y, a. The parameter k characterizes relative sizes of interacting drops p is the viscosity ratio of drops and ambient liquid Sa and Sr are the forces of molecular attraction and electrostatic repulsion of drops r is the relative thickness of electric double layer, which depends, in particular, on concentration of electrolyte in ambient liquid y is the electromagnetic retardation of molecular interaction a is relative potential of surfaces of interacting drops. Let us estimate the values of these parameters. For hydrosols, the Hamaker constant is F 10 ° J. For viscosity and density of external liquid take m /s, 10 kg/m. ... 

Finally, consider the case of interacting drops having viscosities and //2 that are different from the viscosity of the ambient liquid. It should be treated in the same way as the previous case where the drops have equal internal viscosities, except that we must change the expression for the factor of hydrodynamic resistance h. To this end, consider two drops of types 1 and 2 which move with abso-... 

Since the expression (13.122) for h holds in the region 0 < (/Z1/Z2) < 1 for drops of finite viscosity, and 0 < /Z2 < 1, //i = 00 for interaction of a drop with rigid particle on the graph, the intermediate area is shown by dashed line. Coalescence frequency becomes smaller as we increase the viscocities of interacting drops. The smaller the size difference between the drops, the more sensitive their coalescence frequency will be to a change in the internal viscosity. 

Abstract In this chapter the basic physics and methods of calculation of the effective drag forces acting on drops in isolated-drop and multidrop configurations relevant to sprays are provided. The effect of various physical phenomena such as drop deformation, nonuniformity of the incoming flow, drop-drop interactions, drop-gas interactions, and evaporation on the drag coefficient on the drop, with special focus on the underlying physics, is highlighted.

From Eq. (11.27) it follows that the energy of interaction drops off sharply vdth increasing distance between the molecules of the condensed system and reaches a maximum sitH-a when the gap between the condensed systems is of the same order as the distance between molecules and atoms of these systems. 

For = J we must take (7 j as repulsive and infinitely large because we do not allow two solvent molecules on the same site. The resulting aspect of Ut is shown in Fig. II.S. At finite Ra, the interaction oscillates in sign, but it is predominantly attractive. At > / o the interaction drops to zero. 

Effects to be expected at a site from an earthquake especially include vibrations induced in structures, systems, or components (SSC) through the civil structures of the plant. These vibrations could affect the plant safety functions directly, e.g., when the induced seismic loads would exceed the capacity of safety relevant equipment items. Indirect failure modes such as mechanical interaction, dropped loads, release of hazardous substances, seismic-induced fire or flooding, impairment of operator access, or unavailability of evacuation and access routes may also be of concern (see IAEA 2003a, 2.11).
