Cavitation may be defined as the instantaneous formation and collapse of vapor bubbles in a liquid subject to rapid, intense localized pressure changes. Cavitation damage refers to the deterioration of a material resulting from its exposure to a cavitating fluid. 

Liquids subject to breathing iosses may be stored in tanks with floating or expansion roofs for conservation. 

The mechanism of formation of jets such as that in Fig. 6 is not clear but apparently is associated with swelling of the La or L3 phase (the latter can also exist at very low surfactant concentrations, as shown in Fig. 1). The phenomenon resembles the tip streaming observed in drops of liquids subjected to shear or extensional flows with surfactants present [12,13]. In these cases shear stresses from the flow in the external phase cause the drop to elongate and form a jet with a conical shape similar to that seen in Fig. 6. No such external flow is present here, but perhaps flow inside the drop accompanying the swelling process produces a similar effect. 

Bubble Tube Systems The commonly used bubble tube system sharply reduces restrictions on the location of the measuring element. To eliminate or reduce variations in pressure drop due to the gas flow rate, a constant differential regulator is commonly employed to maintain a constant gas flow rate. Because the flow of gas through the bubble tube prevents entry of the process liquid into the measuring system, this technique is particularly useful with corrosive or viscous liquids, liquids subject to freezing, and liquids containing entrained solids. 

The use of optical methods to study the dynamics and structure of complex polymeric and colloidal liquids subject to external fields has a long history. The choice of an optical technique is normally motivated by the microstructural information it provides, its sensitivity, and dynamic range. A successful application of an optical measurement, however, will depend on many factors. First, the type of interaction of light with matter must be correctly chosen so that the desired microstructural information of a sample can be extracted. Once selected, the arrangement of optical elements required to perform the required measurement must be designed. This involves not only the selection of the elements themselves, but also their alignment. Finally, a proper interpretation of the observables will depend on one s ability to connect the measurement to the sample s microstructure. 

Additional components inside a flameproof enclosure may affect the temperature class of the apparatus. They may contain liquids subject to thermal decomposition or insulating materials with poor CTI values (see Section 6.8.1). Aluminium may be used as a conductor material (see Section 6.8.11)...

Fig. 9.3 illustrates the situation that exists at an instant of time when a flowing fluid (usually a liquid) subject to solidification, is cooled by another fluid flowing counter current on the other side of a metal wall. 

As a result of the temperature difference between the two fluids heat will flow from the liquid subject to freezing, across the metal wall and into the coolant. The rate of heat removal will of course be dependent upon the resistance to heat flow provided by the fluids themselves, the metal wall, the solid frozen layer, and any fouling resistance on the coolant side. 

Crystal modifiers may be added to liquids subject to freezing fouling, e.g. crude oils to reduce the problem of wax deposition. The principal difficulty here is generally the cost of the treatment as large quantities of additive are required to be effective. 

Drop Deformability When a neutrally buoyant, initially spherical droplet is suspended in another liquid and subjected to shear or extensional stress, it deforms and then breaks up into smaller droplets. Taylor [1932,1934] extended the work of Einstein [1906, 1911] on dilute suspension of solid spheres in a Newtonian liquid to dispersion of single Newtonian liquid droplet in another Newtonian liquid, subjected to a well-defined deformational field. Taylor noted that at low deformation rates in both uniform shear and planar hyperbolic fields, the sphere deforms into a spheroid (Figure 7.9).
