Measurement of single particle settling velocity in a turbulent field is not easy. However, it is known to be a function of free settling velocity which for spherical particles can be estimated from the following ...

All considerations for measurements of single spot Raman spectra also hold for mapping because the measuring technique is essentially identical. The spatial resolution in a map depends also on the distance between the single points and can be altered from map to map. By increasing the distance, the spatial resolution...

Up to now, sensors using this parameter have not been taken into consideration, as they are generally not selective. Water for instance is traceable in air because its velocity of sound is significantly higher. The VOS of carbon dioxide is just around 1/3 the VOS of air. In a mixture of air, water and C02 none of the compounds can be quantified. As the VOS of carbon monoxide is similar to that of air, CO cannot be quantifiedby this method either. Hence, sensors based on acoustic principles cannot be taken into consideration neither for the measurement of single species in a flue gas flow nor for the identification of fuel gases. 

Various measurement techniques have been developed and applied with different degrees of success. Some techniques, that are well applicable to the measurement of single droplet properties, find difficulties in the application to measurements of droplet properties...

Diffractometers have been designed for completely automatic operation (Bond, 1955 Benedict, 1955 Furnas and Harker, 1955). The most accurate measurements of single crystal reflections are obtained in this way. 

To discover smaller specific effects on the intramolecular dynamics after attachment of an Ar atom to the benzene molecule, we performed lifetime measurements of single rovibronic states in the 6q band of the benzene-Ar and the benzene-84 Kr complex. No dependence of the lifetime on the J K> quantum number within one vibronic band was found [38]. This is in line with the results in the bare molecule and points to a nonradiative process in the statistical limit produced by a coupling to a quasi-continuum, for example, the triplet manifold.

In the previous section, we demonstrated the micrometer droplet size dependence of the ET rate across a microdroplet/water interface. Beside ET reactions, interfacial mass transfer (MT) processes are also expected to depend on the droplet size. MT of ions across a polarized liquid/liquid interface have been studied by various electrochemical techniques [9-15,87], However, the techniques are disadvantageous to obtain an inside look at MT across a microspherical liquid/liquid interface, since the shape of the spherical interface varies by the change in an interfacial tension during electrochemical measurements. Direct measurements of single droplets possessing a nonpolarized liquid/liquid interface are necessary to elucidate the interfacial MT processes. On the basis of the laser trapping-electrochemistry technique, we discuss MT processes of ferrocene derivatives (FeCp-X) across a micro-oil-droplet/water interface in detail and demonstrate a droplet size dependence of the MT rate. 

The mean optical density of this background is then subtracted from that of the peak. Peak intensities, measured of single crystals, are currently claimed accurate to a level of 3% for a range of 0. D < 2.5. For fiber diffraction data, accuracy is not as good.
