Series flow between passes of the absorber was achieved through U-bends instead of headers, allowing viewing of the solution flow in the axial direction of the tubes. The coolant entered an inlet manifold, split into two rows of tubes in parallel, flowed through...

Manifold split-and-recombination micromixers are also popular and powerful micromixers. " In this type of micromixer, two solutions to be mixed are introduced into a channel and combined. Then, the mixture is split into two streams in such a way that each stream contains segments of two different solutions. The two streams are then introduced into the next channel and recombined so that the number of solution segments increases, as shown in Figure 7.10.

The Toray Hi-mixer is a special type of manifold split-and-recombination micromixer. The structure of the Hi-mixer is shown Figure 7.12. In the Hi-mixer, when two layers of the solutions enter the mixing element, they are split into eight layers by using twist walls in the element. Therefore, in this method, the number of layers increases exponentially by repeating the operation (4" after the wth iteration).

In relativistic calculations, the spinors are not necessarily so well separated, due to the spin-orbit interaction. As an example of the effect of spin-orbit interaction, we choose the atoms of group 14—C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb—which in a nonrelativistic picture have the valence configuration np, and the ground state is np i P) in LS coupling. In a relativistic model the np manifold splits into the nondegenerate sets of npi/2 and np3/2 spinors. If we apply a simple Aufbau principle, we would end up with the state 2p i22py2 J = 0) for the relativistic ground state of C. If we expand the 2p /2 spinor into spin-orbitals, we find that this state is % and / 2p ( S), which we know...
