Solid/liquid separation straining

The additional charge and the corresponding additional surface tension are time-dependent quantities in which the equilibrium between the bulk and the interface is not established. The irreversible contribution can be separated from the reversible by considering the time dependence, if the experimental time scale allows for such a test. Time-dependent effects can be observed by impedance measurements at different frequencies. For gold, as an example, impedance measurements showed spectra characteristic for equilibration processes at least over a time scale of 0.1 ms to 100 s. Gold also shows a surface reconstruction depending on the potential [148]. Fortunately, the variation of the interfacial strain with potential is usually so small that the original Lippmann equation (41) for a solid is practically the same as for a liquid electrode 1149]. 

In addition, you can separate some suspensions by filtration. Filtration is the process of passing a liquid through a porous substance in order to separate any solids from that liquid. Think about straining spaghetti and hot water. The substance that is suspended (spaghetti) is trapped by the filter, and the substance in which it is suspended (water) passes through the filter. When students filter their mixtures, some unknowns will be left in the filters. 

If we perform an oscillatory test by applying a sine-wave-shaped input of either stress or strain, we can then, using suitable electronic methods, easily resolve (i.e. separate) the resulting sinusoidal strain or stress output into a certain amoimt of solid-like response, which is in phase with the input, and a corresponding amount of liquid-like response which is n/2 (i.e. 90°) out of phase with the input, see figure 8.

The effect of applying a similar loading programme to a linear viscoelastic solid has several similarities (Figure 5.2(b)). In the most general case, the total strain e is the sum of three separate parts e, and ez. e and are often termed the immediate elastic deformation and the delayed elastic deformation respectively, ez is the Newtonian flow, that is that part of the deformation, which is identical with the deformation of a viscous liquid obeying Newton s law of viscosity. 

Some authors prefer to grow yeast for mutation experiments on solid media because, in haploid strains, cells seem to be better separated after growth on solid media than in liquid media. 

There are two major appUcations for which these metallic media are primarily used the separation of solid particles by size, and the coarse screening of gas or liquid flows ahead of some finer processing stage. In the coarser, macrofiltration processes these are very versatile materials all of the dry classification (sieving, sifting) operations are covered here, as are almost all of the applications of filters for straining and coarse filtration, both of which rely upon the precise size and shape of the apertures in the mesh or sheet.
