Mass density of particles

Using the extreme right of (3.2.6) as an equality because of assumed exact conservation of mass, we obtain from above that dfijdt = 0, the result sought. Thus, the mass density of particles is time-invariant. ... 

Countercurrent Separation and Elutriation. The process known as elutriation in cell separation is a refined method for separation of cells having close mass densities. Cells can be separated by making use of differences in the critical velocity of cells. If the mass densities of two cells are identical, but the sizes are different, then the larger particle has a higher critical velocity than the smaller one. 

In order to examine the nature of the friction coefficient it is useful to consider the various time, space, and mass scales that are important for the dynamics of a B particle. Two important parameters that determine the nature of the Brownian motion are rm = (m/M) /2, that depends on the ratio of the bath and B particle masses, and rp = p/(3M/4ttct3), the ratio of the fluid mass density to the mass density of the B particle. The characteristic time scale for B particle momentum decay is xB = Af/ , from which the characteristic length lB = (kBT/M)i lxB can be defined. In derivations of Langevin descriptions, variations of length scales large compared to microscopic length but small compared to iB are considered. The simplest Markovian behavior is obtained when both rm << 1 and rp 1, while non-Markovian descriptions of the dynamics are needed when rm << 1 and rp > 1 [47]. The other important times in the problem are xv = ct2/v, the time it takes momentum to diffuse over the B particle radius ct, and Tp = cr/Df, the time it takes the B particle to diffuse over its radius. 

For particles of equal mass, we thus have esps = mn with n the local number density of particles. From the KTGF, the time evolution of the granular temperature is given by... 

Thus, consistent results are obtained about one-fourth of the fine particle mass, or 80 percent of the carbon is accounted for by vegetative-(slash) burn carbon. (The corresponding mass density of fine particles in downtown Portland from slash burning is 21 pg/m3 [33].) The only other major source of carbon is seen to be auto exhaust. 

A more detailed study of fuel cloud dispersion, though one lacking direct exptl verification, was made by Rosenblatt et al (Ref 23). The purpose of their study was to develop and use physically based numerical simulation models to examine the cloud dispersion and cloud detonation with fuel mass densities and particle size distributions as well as the induced air pressures and velocities as the principal parameters of interest. A finite difference 2-D Eulerian code was used. We quote The basic numerical code used for the FAE analysis was DICE, a 2-D implicit Eulerian finite difference technique which treats fluid-particle mixtures. DICE treats par-... 

Another approach for estimating am is based on the pseudothermodynamic properties of the mixture, as suggested by Rudinger (1980). The equation for the isentropic changes of state of a gas-solid mixture is given by Eq. (6.53). Note that for a closed system the material density of particles and the mass fraction of particles can be treated as constant. Hence, in terms of the case for a single-phase fluid, the speed of sound in a gas-solid mixture can be expressed as... 

Here Vp has been replaced with the pressure difference between the two points is AP, K°, and K are, respectively, the usual conductivity and the complex conductivity of the electrolyte solution in the absence of the particles, (f> is the particle volume fraction, (j)c is the volume fraction of the particle core, Vc is the volume of the particle core, volume fraction of the polyelectrolyte segments, I4 is the total volume of the polyelectrolyte segments coating one particle, and po, are respectively, the mass density of the particle core and that of the electrolyte solution, and ps is the mass density of the polyelectrolyte segment, V is the suspension volume, and p(cai) is the dynamic electrophoretic mobility of the particles. Equation (26.4) is an Onsager relation between CVP and pirn), which takes a similar form for an Onsager relation between sedimentation potential and static electrophoretic mobility (Chapter 24). 

Changes in the particle structure have a strong effect on combustion behavior, influencing the particle temperature, mass transfer and pore diffusion rates, and consequently the rate-control regime of the process ( 5 ) Tlie changes in size and density of particles that have a homogeneous pore structure and small pore sizes (relative to particle size) are related to fractional burn-off, u, by...
