The oil-water dynamic interfacial tensions are measured by the pulsed drop (4) technique. The experimental equipment consists of a syringe pump to pump oil, with the demulsifier dissolved in it, through a capillary tip in a thermostated glass cell containing brine or water. The interfacial tension is calculated by measuring the pressure inside a small oil drop formed at the tip of the capillary. In this technique, the syringe pump is stopped at the maximum bubble pressure and the oil-water interface is allowed to expand rapidly till the oil comes out to form a small drop at the capillary tip. Because of the sudden expansion, the interface is initially at a nonequilibrium state. As it approaches equilibrium, the pressure, AP(t), inside the drop decays. The excess pressure is continuously measured by a sensitive pressure transducer. The dynamic tension at time t, is calculated from the Young-Laplace equation... 

With these or similar sensitive pressure sensors possible excess foaming can also be registered and an appropriate program modification activated, as already mentioned. 

Cheap, very sensitive pressure sensors will be used to monitor the behavior of ventilation systems. These will be based on silicon sensors with built-in signal conditioning. 

A small reaction bomb fitted with a sensitive pressure-measuring device is flushed out and then filled with pure reactant A at 1-atm pressure. The operation is carried out at 25°C, a temperature low enough that the reaction does not proceed to any appreciable extent. The temperature is then raised as rapidly as possible to 100°C by plunging the bomb into boiling water, and the readings in Table P3.21 are obtained. The stoichiometry of the reaction is 2A B, and after leaving the bomb in the bath over the weekend the contents are analyzed for A none can be found. Find a rate equation in units of moles, liters, and minutes which will satisfactorily fit the data. 

By restricting the gas space over the reaction mixture and by using a sensitive pressure transducer, it was possible to measure rates of,—2.10"8 mole per liter per sec. of 02 (i.e., 0.002 ml. 02 per min. in an 80-ml. reaction volume) within 20-sec. intervals, and this is sufficient for measuring a number of velocities in non-steady states of 100-300-sec. duration. 

AP can be measured by placing a sensitive pressure gauge or manometer at the inlet to the powder bed while venting to atmospheric pressure. 

When highly accurate Pq measurements are necessary, a platinum resistance thermometer can be placed in the bath adjacent to the sample cell. Equation (13.1) can then be used to calculate the nitrogen vapor pressure. Alternatively and perhaps preferably, the vapor pressure can be measured directly by condensing nitrogen in a cell contained in the coolant and connected directly to a manometer or sensitive pressure gauge. 

The controlled drop tensiometer is a simple and very flexible method for measuring interfacial tension (IFI) in equilibrium as well as in various dynamic conditions. In this technique (Fig. 1), the capillary pressure, p of a drop, which is formed at the tip of a capillary and immersed into another immiscible phase (liquid or gas), is measured by a sensitive pressure transducer. The capillary pressure is related to the IFT and drop radius, R, through the Young-Laplace equation [2,3] ... 

Miniaturized and integrated sensor systems were developed early for pressure and accelerometer sensors. The technology of silicon micromachining leads to sensitive pressure sensors which were marketed early [4]. Also accelerometers were developed mainly driven by the huge market of air bag application and crash sensors [5]. 

Pressure electrical To install in the pressure mode, a small hole is drilled in the opposite end of the clothespin from the jaws. Glue a small, clean nut, which has a wire soldered to it, over the hole. A metal contact is glued to the opposite side. A bolt of the appropriate size is threaded into the nut. The gap maybe increased or decreased to vary sensitivity. Pressure on the screw will push it down onto the other contact, completing the circuit. 

An unlabeled gas cylinder is equipped with a sensitive pressure gauge. Devise several experiments that could be used to estimate the molecular weight of the gas, using only equipment and materials likely to be found in the average home or purchasable at a neighborhood hardware store. (You may have a sensitive balance if you need one, but you may not assume that the average home has its own chemistry laboratory.)... 

In the static method one side of the membrane ( permeate side ) is connected to an evacuated well-known volume equipped with a sensitive pressure transducer. The other side ( feed side ) of the membrane is suddenly exposed to a certain concentration or pressure of the component that is being investigated... 

The size measured by capillary porosimetry is that of the entrance to the void space being invaded. The actual size of the void space can be much larger than the entrance size. However, an improved technique using very sensitive pressure transducers and computerized data acquisition and analysis has been developed to measure the size distribution of both the pore entrances (throats) and pore bodies (2). 

An alternative approach is based on the theoretical foundation described earlier for the colligative properties. If the solution is isotonic with blood, its osmotic pressure, vapor pressure, boiling-point elevation, and freezing-point depression should also be identical to those of blood. Thus, to measure isotonicity, one has to measure the osmotic pressure of the solution and compare it with the known value for blood. However, the accurate measurement of osmotic pressure is difficult and cumbersome. If a solution is separated from blood by a true semipermeable membrane, the resulting pressure due to solvent flow (the head) is accurately measurable, but the solvent flow dilutes the solution, thus not allowing one to know the concentration of the dissolved solute. An alternative is to apply pressure to the solution side of the membrane to prevent osmotic solvent flow. In 1877, Pfeffer used this method to measure osmotic pressure of sugar solutions. With the advances in the technology, sensitive pressure transducers, and synthetic polymer membranes, this method can be improved. However, results of the search for a true semipermeable membrane are still... 

This test method is preferably used for the comparative evaluation of adhesives and surface pretreatment methods, since it enables the indication of the differences in the adhesive and cohesive behavior of the adhesive layers with high sensitivity. Pressure-sensitive adhesives (adhesive tapes, adhesive labels) are also tested according to this principle. 

From the experimental point of view there is one more experiment that can be done to obtain adsorption rate parameters and this is the use of a semicontinuous approach. Here the adsorbate is fed at a mass flow rate that is equal to the rate of adsorption, and a very sensitive pressure transducer is slaved to a mass flow controller for the adsorbate. As this gas is adsorbed, and were there no flow into the system, the pressure would drop. This would lead to the complexities we have just analyzed. If, however, the mass flow controller is slaved in such a way that it opens whenever there is a slight 6P of pressure drop below the fixed experimental pressure set point, then the pressure can be maintained as a constant. The mass flow rate into the system is the same as the mass rate of adsorption "out" of the gas phase and "onto" the adsorbent phase II.

Initially, the membrane and the two reservoirs are thoroughly evacuated with a vacuum pump. The system is then isolated from the vacuum pump by closing in-line valves. Next, a dose of gas is introduced into the bottom large reservoir, such that its pressure is Pq. This gas then dissolves into the membrane and then diffuses to the top (small) reservoir, where its pressure is recorded with a highly sensitive pressure transducer. 

The increase in the pressure p2 was measured using a sensitive pressure gauge (0-lOmbar, Effa AW-10-T4) linked to a data acquisition system. The quantity Q(t) of gas present in the receiving compartment was calculated using the perfect gas law ... 

Pulse-free syringe pumps are generally used for SFC (particularly capillary SFC), because of the low flow rates employed, and the need to deliver the mobile phase at a constant pressure rather than constant flow rate. Since the solvating power of the mobile phase is proportional to the density of the fluid, the pressure is manipulated at constant temperature for density control. This is performed by using a sensitive pressure transducer in-line between the pump outlet and the column and a microprocessor for pump control. The microprocessor is programmed to generate a set pressure profile [8,9]. 

In the last decades, a new type of pressure gauge, based on InAsP semiconductor quantum wells luminescence, was proposed [66]. Because InAsP quantum wells emit sharp-line luminescence peaking at 1200 nm, which is characterized by a pressure blue shift equal to approximately 9 nm/kbar, an InAsP quantum well system is very sensitive pressure indicator for medium pressure <100 kbar.
