In Figure 6.8 increase in the pressure on the in bellows causes the force-bar to turn clockwise, thus reducing the separation in the flapper- nozzle. This nozzle is fed with air. and the increase in back pressure from the nozzle in turn increases the force developed by the negative feedback bellows producing a counterclockwise movement which restores the flapper-nozzle separation. Balance is achieved when the feedback pressure is proportional to the applied pressure. 

Thus, spray-dried xylan/ESlOO microparticles were produced at different polymer weight ratios dissolved in alkaline and neutral solutions, separately. More precisely, xylan and ESIOO were dissolved in 1 1 and 1 3 weight ratios in 0.6 N NaOH and phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). Then, the suspensions were spray-diied at the feed rate of 1.2 mL/min (inlet temperature of 120°C) using a Biichi Model 191 laboratory spray-dryer with a 0.7 mm nozzle, separately. Cross-linked xylan microcapsules were also coated by ESIOO after spraydrying at the same conditions. 

Fig. 17.11 Extinction behavior of strained, opposed-flow, premixed, methane-air flames. The left-hand panel shows the dependence of the maximum temperature at the symmetry plane as a function of the semi-infinite strain-rate parameter a, for five different mixture stoichiometries. The right-hand panel compares measured extinction strain rates [238] with predictions for both the semi-infinite and finite-gap model formulations. The nozzle separation distance is 7 mm (i.e., 3.5 mm from nozzle to symmetry plane).

The nozzle separation process utilizes the centrifugal forces which occur upon diversion of a gas stream. A gas stream of uranium(VI) fluoride, helium and hydrogen is directed along a curved wall and then split by a peeling off plate into two gas streams with enrichment of the heavier and lighter isotopes respectively. 

The two identical nozzles and their dimensions described previously [2] had contractions of area ratio 9.0 and followed a fifth-order polynomial [3] to a diameter of 25 mm. Fig. 6.1. The nozzle separation was varied between 0.2 and 2.0 exit diameters with bulk velocities from 1.49 to 7.00 m/s, and, since these velocities corresponded to Reynolds numbers of 2,000 and 10,000, a perforated plate was located at the end of the contraction with 4-millimeter diameter holes and 50% solidity. A subsequent straight pipe, two exit diameters in length, allowed the wakes to diminish and the small-scale turbulence to develop [4]. The two jets were mounted on a frame that allowed the separation to be varied while maintaining the same geometric axis. The compressed air and gas supply of natural methane was filtered, and the flow was measured with calibrated rotameters to accuracy better than 3%, while the centerline velocities were matched within 0.1 m/s. 

The range of useful nozzle separations was limited to less than 2.0D to prevent flapping and to 0.2D or greater due to restricted experimental access. Thus, the...

The total A-starch is separated as a concentrate, while the gluten obtains its typical structure and is discharged with the B-starch via the medium fraction. The %htweight constituents of flour such as pentosane form the third phase. Following on from fine fiber screening, three-phase nozzle separators perform the task of separating the A-starch and recovering the A-starch left in the B-starch. The A-starch is washed by hydrocyclones. Two-phase decanters ensure that the two starch fractions are dewatered and process water is treated in a clarifier. 

A complete process design and costings have been produced for the conversion of de-proteined whey into a CBE yeast fat (Davies and Holdsworth, 1992). The process has run in large-scale trials in a 250m bubble fermenter. For the extraction of the fat, a novel extraction process was developed that used a continuous ball-mill and a mixture of propan-2-ol/hexane as extracting solvent. Recoveries in excess of 97% were achieved from the yeast cream coming out of the nozzle separator. 

Also, a nozzle separation effect is expected to accompany the supersonic expansion in the extraction region [127]. This phenomenon is a result of collisions between the particles in the beam and the fact that only the central fraction of the beam passes the aperture of the skimmer and is characterized by a more pronounced loss of lighter nuclides than of heavier nuclides from the central ion beam. As a result, it works in the same direction as the space-charge effect and the contributions of both phenomena to the total instrumental mass discrimination cannot be distinguished from one another experimentally.
