Practical separation techniques for hquid particles in gases are discussed. Since gas-borne particulates include both hquid and sohd particles, many devices used for dry-dust collection (discussed in Sec. 17 under Gas-Sohds Separation ) can be adapted to liquid-particle separation. Also, the basic subject of particle mechanics is covered in Sec. 6. Separation of liquid particulates is frequently desirable in chemical processes such as in countercurrent-stage contacting because hquid entrainment with the gas partially reduces true countercurrency. Separation before entering another process step may be needed to prevent corrosion, to prevent yield loss, or to prevent equipment damage or malfunc tion. Separation before the atmospheric release of gases may be necessaiy to prevent environmental problems and for regula-toiy compliance. 

This subsection is concerned with the application of particle mechanics (see Sec. 5, Fluid and Particle Mechanics ) to the design and apphcation of dust-collection systems. It includes wet collectors, or... 

From the standpoint of collector design and performance, the most important size-related property of a dust particfe is its dynamic behavior. Particles larger than 100 [Lm are readily collectible by simple inertial or gravitational methods. For particles under 100 Im, the range of principal difficulty in dust collection, the resistance to motion in a gas is viscous (see Sec. 6, Thud and Particle Mechanics ), and for such particles, the most useful size specification is commonly the Stokes settling diameter, which is the diameter of the spherical particle of the same density that has the same terminal velocity in viscous flow as the particle in question. It is yet more convenient in many circumstances to use the aerodynamic diameter, which is the diameter of the particle of unit density (1 g/cm ) that has the same terminal settling velocity. Use of the aerodynamic diameter permits direct comparisons of the dynamic behavior of particles that are actually of different sizes, shapes, and densities [Raabe, J. Air Pollut. Control As.soc., 26, 856 (1976)].

In the general case, the direction of movement of the particle relative to the fluid may not be parallel with the direction of the external and buoyant forces, and the drag force then creates an angle with the other two. This is known as two-dimensional motion. In this situation, the drag force must be resolved into two components, which complicates the treatment of particle mechanics. This presentation considers only the one-dimensional case in which the lines of action of all forces acting on the particle are collinear.

Sometimes the theoretical or computational approach to description of molecular structure, properties, and reactivity cannot be based on deterministic equations that can be solved by analytical or computational methods. The properties of a molecule or assembly of molecules may be known or describable only in a statistical sense. Molecules and assemblies of molecules exist in distributions of configuration, composition, momentum, and energy. Sometimes, this statistical character is best captured and studied by computer experiments molecular dynamics, Brownian dynamics, Stokesian dynamics, and Monte Carlo methods. Interaction potentials based on quantum mechanics, classical particle mechanics, continuum mechanics, or empiricism are specified and the evolution of the system is then followed in time by simulation of motions resulting from these direct... 

Because of its oscillatory component wave motion requires a related, but more complicated description than linear motion. The methods of particle mechanics use vectors to describe displacements, velocities and other quantities of motion in terms of orthogonal unit vectors, e.g. 

For cn = 1, or An = j2]l the eigenfunctions, like the unit vectors of particle mechanics, are normalized. Thus, for Sn = y/2/lsinmrx/l, the functions are said to be orthonormal and the normalization condition reads...

Sparking fuels fuels that do not yield a coherent cake as residue in the volatile matter determination but evolve gaseous products at a rate sufficient to carry solid particles mechanically out of the crucible when heated at the standard rate usually, all low-rank noncaking coal and lignite may also include those anthracite, semianthracite, and bituminous coals that lose solid particles as described above particles escaping at the higher temperatures may become incandescent and spark as they are emitted (ASTM D-3175). 

For banks of in-line tubes,/for isothermal flow is obtained from Fig. 6-43. Average deviation from available data is on the order of 15 percent. For tube spacings greater than 3Dt, the charts of Gram, Mackey, and Monroe (Tram. ASME, 80, 25-35 [1958]) can be used. As an approximation, the pressure drop can be taken as 0.32 velocity head (based on Vm ) per row of tubes (Lapple, et al., Fluid and Particle Mechanics, University of Delaware, Newark, 1954). 

No systematic studies of the use of silicone surfactants as emulsifiers have yet been published. Silicone polyoxyalkylene copolymers with relatively high molecular weight and a high proportion of silicone are effective water-in-silicone oil emulsifiers and a recent study of these copolymers suggests that they stabilize emulsions by a solid-particle mechanism [68]. This type of silicone surfactant has been used to prepare transparent water-in-oil emulsions (often with an active ingredient in the internal phase) for use as deodorants or antiperspirants as well as cosmetics and other personal care products. Their use as drug delivery vehicles has also been claimed. These copolymers can also be used to prepare multiple emulsions not requiring a two-pot process.
