Solids forwarding angle

The velocity of the plug in the downchannel (z) and tangential (0) directions can be vectorially visualized in Fig. 5.3. Notice that the volumetric flow rate, 0, as well as all of the plug velocities are dependent upon the unknown solids forwarding angle q>. 

From Fig. 5.3, it is a straight forward process to determine that the following relationship exists for the solids forwarding angle (p ... 

The solids forwarding angle q> is related to rate by Eq. 5.7, and the force and torque balances provide the relationship between and the pressure gradient and q> using Eq. 5.23. Here, the equation is written in differential form so that integration can be performed numerically in the z direction using variable physical property data. 

Section 3.7, the gas adsorption method breaks down for practical reasons. Since the angle of contact of mercury with solids is 140° (see later), and therefore more than 90°, an excess pressure Ap is required to force liquid mercury into the pores of a soh d. The idea of using mercury intrusion to measure pore size appears to have been first suggested by Washburn who put forward the basic equation... 

Nuclear scattering is counted by two avalanche photo diode (APD) detectors. The detector for NIS (Fig. 9.1) is located close to the sample. It counts the quanta scattered in a large solid angle. The detector for NFS is located far away from the sample. It counts the quanta scattered by the nuclei in the forward direction. These two detectors follow two qualitatively different processes of nuclear scattering ... 

The third quantity in brackets in (3.33) is the amount of energy scattered into a solid angle ti(D) centered about the forward direction if this solid angle is sufficiently small, consistent with the requirement that k R2/z 477, then... 

The full extinction Cext will be observed only if the detector subtends a sufficiently small solid angle. As the detector is moved closer to the particle, however, the observed extinction will decrease. We shall see when we consider specific examples that light scattered by particles much larger than the wavelength of the incident light tends to be concentrated around the forward direction. Therefore, the larger the particle, the more difficult it is to exclude scattered light from the detector. 

Figure 2.9 Phase diagram for C02, showing solid-gas (S + G, sublimation ), solid-liquid (S + L, fusion ), and liquid-gas (L + G, vaporization ) coexistence lines as PT boundaries of stable solid, liquid, or gaseous phases. The triple point (triangle), critical point (x), and selected 280K isotherm of Fig. 2.8 (circle) are marked for identification. Note that the fusion curve tilts slightly forward (with slope 75 atm K-1) and that the sublimation and vaporization curves meet with slightly discontinuous slopes (angle < 180°) at the triple point. The dotted and dashed half-circle shows two possible paths between a liquid (cross-hair square) and a gas (cross-hair circle) state, one discontinuous (dashed) crossing the coexistence line, the other continuous (dotted) encircling the critical point (see text).

Clearly flow aligning behavior of the director is present and do increases linearly with the tilt angle, do. Above a threshold in the Spain rate, y 0.011, undulations in vorticity direction set in. In Fig. 14 the results of simulations for y 0.015 are shown. In Fig. 15 we have plotted the undulation amplitude obtained as a function of the shear rate. The dashed line indicates a square root behavior corresponding to a forward bifurcation near the onset of undulations. This is, indeed, what is expected, when a weakly nonlinear analysis based on the underlying macroscopic equations is performed [54], In Fig. 16 we have plotted an example for the dynamic behavior obtained from molecular dynamics simulations. It shows the time evolution after a step-type start for two shear rates below the onset of undulations. The two solid lines correspond to a fit to the data using the solutions of the averaged linearized form of (27). The shear approaches its stationary value for small tilt angle (implied by the use of the linearized equation) with a characteristic time scale t = fi/Bi.
