Liquid-fields

The Pb-Sn system has a eutectic. Look at the Pb-Sn phase diagram (Fig. AT. 26). Above i27°C., liquid lead and liquid tin are completely miscible, that is, the one dissolves in the other completely. On cooling, solid first starts to appear when the lines (or boundaries) which limit the bottom of the liquid field are reached. 

DEF. The phase boundary which limits the bottom of the liquid field is called the liquidus line. The other boundary of the two-phase liquid-solid field is called the solidus line. 

Recent studies on heat- and mass-transfer to and from bubbles in liquid media have primarily been limited to studies of the transfer mechanism for single moving bubbles. Transfer to or from swarms of bubbles moving in an arbitrary liquid field is very complex and has been analyzed theoretically in certain simple cases only (G3, G5, G6, G8, M3, R9, Wl). 

Figure 2.1. Examples of melting phase diagrams of binary systems showing complete mutual solubility in the solid and in the liquid states (L liquid field, S solid field). The melting behaviour of the Mo-V, Cs-Rb and Ca-Sr alloys is presented. Notice the different ranges of temperature involved. The melting points of the pure metal components are shown on the corresponding vertical axes. The Cs-Rb is an example of a system showing a minimum in the melting temperature. In the Sr-Ca system complete mutual solid solubility is shown in both the allotropic forms a and (3 of the two metals.

As this chapter is primarily concerned with single-drop performance, it seems best to omit consideration of drop sizes in highly turbulent liquid fields. The work of Shinnar and Church (S7), utilizing Kolmogo-roff s hypothesis of local isotropy, seems to bear excellent promise from a fundamental viewpoint. Correlating equations for predicting drop size in stirred tanks and mixers have been given by Treybal (T3). 

Any hydrodynamic consideration of a drop moving in a liquid field starts with the Navier-Stokes equations of motion, as given in representative books on fluid mechanics (L2, Sll). Using vector notation to conserve space, these equations may be written (B3, B4)... 

For a liquid drop falling in air or for a very viscous drop in a low viscosity field liquid, the correction term reduces to unity, and Eq. (23) becomes equivalent to Stokes law. For a gas bubble rising through a liquid or a low viscosity drop moving in a very viscous liquid field, the limiting correction factor of 1.5 may be realized for a fully circulating drop. These two limiting values have been confirmed by many experi-... 

Two papers (FI, M3) described the shapes of very large drops moving in non-Newtonian liquid fields of the pseudoplastic variety. The employment of a Reynolds number based on the power-function relationship permitted a good description of the variation of terminal velocity vs. drop size. 

The shape of a liquid drop moving in a liquid field is dependent upon the balance between the hydrodynamic pressure exerted because of the relative velocities of drop and field and the surface forces which tend to make the drop a sphere (H7). 

The surface viscosity effect on terminal velocity results in a calculated drag curve that is closer to the one for rigid spheres (K5). The deep dip exhibited by the drag curve for drops in pure liquid fields is replaced by a smooth transition without a deep valley. The damping of internal circulation reduces the rate of mass transfer. Even a few parts per million of the surfactant are sometimes sufficient to cause a very radical change. 

As has been previously shown in this chapter, the velocity field around a submerged shape can be mathematically predicted in some cases and experimentally demonstrated in all. Such a field is shown in Fig. 9. But as a large drop moves through a stationary liquid field, it will carry... 

Thus, we see that in a single image acquisition, the line excitation SEMI-RARE method allows an evaluation of the extent of flow heterogeneity (up- and downflow) within the monolith. Furthermore, velocities in completely liquid field channels can be measured. This was not possible when SEMI-RARE was used because velocities were measured by following a gas-liquid interface. However, a limitation of the line excitation SEMI-RARE technique is that there needs to be a significant amount of liquid present within the monolith, because the gas phase is not imaged only liquid captured in the initial line excitation can be followed.

Despite the impressive achievements of those working in the ionic liquids field, chemical process development scientists and engineers, being aware of their disadvantages, generally take a more cautious view of their potential value. The main disadvantages are as follows ... 

The second two-liquid field above 1300 °C was assumed to be between a mono-tectic of approximately 55 wt.% S and a composition close to sulfur (which is supercritical at this temperature). The binary eutectic lies at 1350 °C with approximately 67.5 wt.% Cr and 32.5 wt.% S between metallic chromium and the 0-phase,... 

A number of additional DTA experiments were undertaken with various compositions within the binary system up to 66.6 at. % S (= MoS2 composition). In Fig. 7 a phase diagram is shown in which all results are incorporated. With respect to the above-mentioned classification of sulfide systems14), the Mo—S system, as well as the Cr—S system, exhibits Type 1 two regions of immiscible liquids one field of liquid immiscibility in the metal-rich portion at high temperatures, and a second two-liquid field in the sulfur-rich region beyond MoS2 which is not shown in Fig. 7. 

An additional subtlety in solvent choice is shown by cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane. In these cases, petroleum asphaltenes are completely soluble, while coal-derived asphaltenes are only sparingly soluble. This would imply that the precipitation line for cyclohexane runs completely outside the petroleum field of Figures 5 and 6 but passes through the coal-liquids field in Figure 6. Thus, some care must be shown when considering the equivalence or nonequivalence of various solvents. 

Figure 7 Two-liquid field in the Fe-S-P system as determined by Raghavan (1988) (hatched line) and Chabot and Drake (2000) (white area). Chabot and Drake performed their experiment at more oxidizing condition—assumed relevant for group IIIAB iron meteorites. Also shown are the trends followed by the major iron meteorite groups. Note that all groups eventually enter the two-liquid field (reproduced by permission of the Meteoritical Society from...

The situation is quite different when a small furfural concentration is generated in the second case, and when the heating is effected by condensing steam of 100 °C (atmospheric analogue of an industrial furfural process) as this results in point B lying in the liquid field where furfural can react with itself and with the first intermediate of the xylose-to-furfu-ral conversion. 

The ionic liquids field continues to develop at an incredible rate. No sooner do I think that I am on top of the literature than it turns out that a whole new area of work has emerged without me noticing. Things that were once supposedly impossible in ionic liquids, such as measuring the II NMR of solutes, are now widely applicable (see Chapter 8). Hence, collected volumes such as this are very welcome. This volume complements some other excellent texts, notably Electrodeposition in ionic liquids , edited by Frank Endres, Andy Abbott and Doug MacFarlane Electrochemical Aspects of Ionic Liquids edited by Hiro Ohno Ionic liquids in Synthesis , edited by Peter Wasserscheid and myself and a recent collected volume of Accounts of Chemical Research.

Pp are the densities of water and particle. Restrict ourselves to considering only a short jump-back. Under this condition, equations describing the hydrodynamic liquid field can be simplified and allow us to change Eq. (11.36) into one containing only one unknown function 0(t). The velocity and acceleration of a particle in terms of this function can be expressed by... 

It is right that in the last five years a couple of new questions have come up which are of interest for the future development of the ionic liquid field in total. To limit the scope of this new Outlook we decided to deal with four of these questions in closer detail, where we would like to share with the reader our personal opinions. 

The featured topics for the sessions constituting each of the symposia organized within I EC are provided in Table I. By closely reviewing these lists, insight into the evolution of the ionic liquids field over the last several years can be obtained.
