Mixing reference literature

Literature references for vapor-liquid equilibria, enthalpies of mixing and volume change for binary systems. 

Having defined the model scalar energy spectrum, it can now be used to compute the scalar mixing time as a function of Sc and Rk. In the turbulent mixing literature, the scalar mixing time is usually reported in a dimensionless form referred to as the mechanical-to-scalar time-scale ratio R defined by... 

Solid-liquid mixing involves the suspension, distribution, and the drawing down of solids by agitation. In addition to vessel geometiy, impeller variables include type, diameter, number, speed, and location. Process results include the desired level (quality) of suspension, such as just off-the-bottom, complete uniformity, or any intermediate condition. The slurry properties, density difference (solid/liquid), viscosity, and solids concentration all determine how difficult the task may be. As alternatives to stirred vessels, jets (see Section 9.10) can be used for light-duty suspension. Literature references deal mainly with settling solids as opposed to floating solids. We will try to address both conditions. 

The physical and health hazards associated with chemicals should be determined before working with them This determination may involve consulting literature references. Laboratory Chemical Safety Summaries (LCSSs), Matmal Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), or other reference materials (see also Chapter 3, section 3.B) and may require discussions with the laboratory supervisor and consultants such as safety and industrial hygiene officers. Every step of the waste minimization and removal processes should be checked against federal, state, and local regulations. Production of mixed chemical-radioactive-biological waste (see Chapter 7, section 7.C.1.3) should not be considered without discussions with environmental health and safety experts. 

Literature references to experimental work on the crystallization or precipitation of products of organic reaction are rare, even though this is a common reaction type. The difference between crystallization and precipitation is not well defined and is interpreted differently by different investigators. The interpretation that is used here is that crystallization generates a crystalline product, whereas precipitates form rapidly and can be crystalline or amorphous. The differences are often blurred, however, because many organics actually appear first as amorphous noncrystalline solids which later turn truly crystalline. In these cases nucleation is difficult to separate from precipitation of an amorphous solid. Mersmann and Kind (1988) present an excellent discussion on precipitation as it is affected by micromixing. Additional discussion of mixing effects in crystallization may be found in Chapter 17. 

The key to effective mixing lies in producing stretching and folding, an operation that is referred to in the mathematics literature as a horseshoe map. Horseshoe maps, in turn, imply chaos. The 2D case is the simplest. The equations of motion for a two-dimensional area preserving flow can be written as... 

Table II shows the "heats of formation" of the conjugate phases, that is, the excess enthalpies for mixing the appropriate amounts of water and amphiphile (at the same initial temperature and pressure as the final system) to make a unit amount of the conjugate phase. Values labeled "calorimeter" and "phase volume," respectively, are based on the same set of calorimetric titrations. In the former case the phase composition was taken from the calorimetric measurements, and in the latter case the composition was taken from our phase-volume compositions. Literature values for the heats of formation are based on data from references 13-16.

The authors of primary Reference 80 present their own and selected literature values for the R—NO bond enthalpies for the hydrocarbyl cases of Me, Et, t-Bu, allyl and benzyl, as well as mixed fluorinated, chlorinated methyl radicals. We now wish to compare nitroso species with the corresponding amino and nitro compounds. Choosing what we consider the most reliable and relevant nitroso compound data, and accompanying them with the corresponding radical data, we derive enthalpies of formation of gaseous nitrosomethane, 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane and o -nitrosotoluene81 to be 65 2, —29 4 and 174 7 kJmol-1. (By comparison, the earlier values recommended8 for nitrosomethane and 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane were 70 and —42 kJmol-1 respectively.)...
