Phase equilibria and pressure-temperature coordinates of critical points in ternary systems were taken with a high-pressure apparatus based on a thermostated view cell equipped with two liquid flow loops which has been described in detail elsewhere [3]. The loops feed a sample valve which takes small amounts of probes for gas-chromatographic analysis. In addition to temperature, pressure and composition data, the densities of the coexisting liquid phases are measured with a vibrating tube densimeter. Critical points were determined by visual oberservation of the critical opalescence. 

To analyze the linear stability of a Couette flow, we begin with the Navier Stokes and continuity equations in a cylindrical coordinate system. The frill equations in dimensional form can be found in Appendix A. We wish to consider the fate of an arbitrary infinitesimal disturbance to the base flow and pressure distributions (12 114) and (12 116). Hence we consider a linear perturbation of the form... 

Pulsatile flow in an elastic vessel is very complex, since the tube is able to undergo local deformations in both longitudinal and circumferential directions. The unsteady component of the pulsatile flow is assumed to be induced by propagation of small waves in a pressurized elastic tube. The mathematical approach is based on the classical model for the fluid-structure interaction problem, which describes the dynamic equilibrium between the fluid and the tube thin wall (Womersley, 1955b Atabek and Lew, 1966). The dynamic equilibrium is expressed by the hydrodynamic equations (Navier-Stokes) for the incompressible fluid flow and the equations of motion for the wall of an elastic tube, which are coupled together by the boundary conditions at the fluid-wall interface. The motion of the liquid is described in a fixed laboratory coordinate system (f , 6, f), and the dynamic... 

Gourlay extended the slender body theory of Tuck with the unsteady slender body theory. This improvement allows one to consider a ship moving in a non-uniform depth since the coordinate system is now earth-flxed, whereas it is ship-fixed for classic numerical methods. The ID system still uses vertical cross-sections and decomposition into an inner and outer expansion. The pressure integration is only made on the ship length based on the ship section B(x) at each x along the hull. Resolution of the ID equation is made with the finite difference method. Comparison with experimental results for soft squat situations h/T > 4) showed good agreement with numerical results. No tests were made for hard squat conditions (i.e., shallow depths) where flow around the ship is affected. 

In most cases a mechanical approach is more adequate. This is based on the concept that in mechanical equilibrium at each point on the interface, the curvature is adjusted such that the difference in the pressures between the two phases is balanced by the capillary pressure. This approach is particularly fruitful when applied to axisymmetric menisci, like drops and bubbles. In this ease, assuming a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the drop apex, O, and the vertical axes, z, in the symmetry axis and directed towards the interior of the drop, at any point, S, of the interface we have... 

The delivery or header system usually consists of flexible hoses and rigid pipes. The design of this system must be coordinated with the plant layout, the material to be dispensed, and the instantaneous material delivery rate required. The two primary factors are material and delivery rate. Each material to be dispensed (adhesive or sealant) requires a unique and specific pumping pressure based on header size (hose and pipe inner diameter) and delivery rate. Calculations should be made to estimate system pressure drop for a proposed system configuration to determine if sufficient system pressure availability exists. Tests should also be conducted to verify system design. These calculations and tests should take into account...
