When the profiles of the local diameters are normalized by the bulk diameter at the same temperature, they do not collapse on a single master curve, as it happens with the profiles of the local order parameter (Fig. 49, right panel). This nonuniversality may be caused by the long-range water-surface potential. As behavior of water near a surface with short-range water-surface interaction is not yet studied, this idea remains speculative. The local diameter pd calculated in the surface layer vanishes upon increasing temperature much faster the bulk diameter (Fig. 50). It is...

Right the profiles of local diameters at several temperatures (T = 490,500,510,520,525,530,535,540,545, and 550 K) normalized by the respective bulk values as functions of the rescaled distance to the surface in pore with Hp = 30 k (data from [262]).

Generally speaking, temperature control in fixed beds is difficult because heat loads vary through the bed. Also, in exothermic reactors, the temperature in the catalyst can become locally excessive. Such hot spots can cause the onset of undesired reactions or catalyst degradation. In tubular devices such as shown in Fig. 2.6a and b, the smaller the diameter of tube, the better is the temperature control. Temperature-control problems also can be overcome by using a mixture of catalyst and inert solid to effectively dilute the catalyst. Varying this mixture allows the rate of reaction in different parts of the bed to be controlled more easily. 

In order to realise such a high dynamic range, either a local compensation coil at the location of the SQUID [9] or a gradiometric excitation coil like the double-D coil have to be used. In case of the electronic compensation, the excitation field and the response of the conducting sample is compensated by a phase shifted current in an additional coil situated close to the SQUID-sensor. Due to the small size of this compensation coil (in our case, the diameter of the coil is about 1 mm), the test object is not affected by it. 

With the use of Cs source tomographic layer-by-layer study of nuclear fuel within a range of 5 to 12 g/sm is conducted. In the specialized tomograph the initial information measurement time is 5-30 min, the tomograms restoration time is 4-10 min. The sensitivity to a various density is about 5% when detecting local areas with a diameter exceeding 0.5mm. 

It has been found that the contrast in film density caused by very small local variations in mass density of the concrete is considerable, e g. S D = 0.12 for a 6 mm diameter hole in a 250 mm thick concrete beam. The image quality provided by fine-grained films (Agfa Gaevert D7) was sufficient to distinguish the thin walls of a pre-stressing duct in a 750 mm thick concrete bridge slab. 

Laser desorption to produce ions for mass spectrometric analysis is discussed in Chapter 2. As heating devices, lasers are convenient when much energy is needed in a very small space. A typical laser power is 10 ° W/cm. When applied to a solid, the power of a typical laser beam — a few tens of micrometers in diameter — can lead to very strong localized heating that is sufficient to vaporize the solid (ablation). Some of the factors controlling heating with lasers and laser ablation are covered in Figure 17.2.

The role of coalescence within a contactor is not always obvious. Sometimes the effect of coalescence can be inferred when the holdup is a factor in determining the Sauter mean diameter (67). If mass transfer occurs from the dispersed (d) to the continuous (e) phase, the approach of two drops can lead to the formation of a local surface tension gradient which promotes the drainage of the intervening film of the continuous phase (75) and thereby enhances coalescence. It has been observed that d-X.o-c mass transfer can lead to the formation of much larger drops than for the reverse mass-transfer direction, c to... 

Besides the chemical composition, porosity is another property of stone which has great influence on its preservation. An increased porosity increases the exposed surface and pores allow movement of materials such as water and its solutes through the stones. If the pores are blocked or reduced in diameter such substances may be trapped within resulting in increased local interior damage. Exposure to the climatic elements is one important source of decay. Freeze-thaw cycles, in particular, result in pressures on the pore walls of the stone s interior from changes in volume during the phase transition... 

The writing process, that is, the transition crystalline — amorphous, is caused by briefly (<50 100 ns) heating up the selected storage area (diameter (( )) ca 0.5—1 Hm) by a laser pulse to a temperature above the melting point of the memory layer (Eig. 15, Record), such that the film locally melts. When cooled faster than a critical quench rate (10 -10 ° K/s), the formation of crystalline nuclei is suppressed and the melted area sohdifies into the amorphous (glass-like) state. 

Some studies (6) have been carried out to measure distribution of soHds in mixing tanks. Local soHds concentrations at various heights are measured at different impeller speeds. Typical data (Fig. 16) demonstrate that very high mixer speeds are needed to raise the soHds to high levels. At low levels, soHds concentration can exceed the average concentration at low mixer speeds. These soHds distributions depend on the impeller diameter, particle size, and physical properties. 

Production of carbon electrodes is a capital-intensive business. Two suppHers dominate the prebaked market. Carbon paste producers are more numerous and tend to serve local markets. There is no international standard for the threaded joints on carbon electrodes. Manufacturers of straight pin carbon electrodes have followed the physical specifications adopted for graphite electrodes (37). Unified standards do not exist for pinless joints resulting in limited interchangeability among brands. Electrode diameters are offered in both English and metric sizes with no restrictions on new or unique diameters. 

Figure 5 shows conduction heat transfer as a function of the projected radius of a 6-mm diameter sphere. Assuming an accommodation coefficient of 0.8, h 0) = 3370 W/(m -K) the average coefficient for the entire sphere is 72 W/(m -K). This variation in heat transfer over the spherical surface causes extreme non-uniformities in local vaporization rates and if contact time is too long, wet spherical surface near the contact point dries. The temperature profile penetrates the sphere and it becomes a continuum to which Fourier s law of nonsteady-state conduction appfies. 

Limiting Nusselt numbers for laminar flow in annuli have been calculated by Dwyer [Nucl. Set. Eng., 17, 336 (1963)]. In addition, theoretical analyses of laminar-flow heat transfer in concentric and eccentric annuh have been published by Reynolds, Lundberg, and McCuen [Jnt. J. Heat Ma.s.s Tran.sfer, 6, 483, 495 (1963)]. Lee fnt. J. Heat Ma.s.s Tran.sfer, 11,509 (1968)] presented an analysis of turbulent heat transfer in entrance regions of concentric annuh. Fully developed local Nusselt numbers were generally attained within a region of 30 equivalent diameters for 0.1 < Np < 30, lO < < 2 X 10, 1.01 <...
