Tomahawk

The product that is a homogeneous fluid solution has different components to perform various functional roles. The product designer has available more design variables to manipulate, and needs to balance their proportions to achieve the desired customer performance and company profit. Let us consider the design of a guided-missile fuel intended for the Tomahawk, which was used prominently in the opening phase of the invasion of Iraq in 2002.

Crystalline Habit. a-Lactose hydrate crystals are observed in a wide variety of shapes, depending on conditions of crystallization. The principal factor governing the crystalline habit of lactose is the precipitation pressure, the ratio of actual concentration to solubility (Herrington 1934A). When the pressure is high and crystallization is forced rapidly, only prisms form. As precipitation pressure lessens, the dominant crystal form changes to diamond-shape plates, then to pyramids and tomahawks, and finally, in slow crystallization, to the fully developed crystal. These types of crystals are illustrated in Figure 6.2. 

Detailed studies on the growth rates of the individual faces of a-lactose crystals have appreciably increased our understanding of the crystallization process. All the habits of lactose crystals found in dairy products are crystallographically equivalent to the tomahawk form different relative growth rates on the crystal faces account for the var-...

(C) Diamond-shaped plates transition between prism and pyramid. (D) Pyramids resulting from an increase in the thickness of the diamond. (E) Tomahawk, a tall pyramid with bevel faces at the base. (F) Tomahawk, showing another face which sometimes appears. (G) The form most commonly decribed as fully developed. (H) A crystal having 13 faces. The face shown in F is not present. (I) A profile view of H with the tomahawk blade sharpened. (From van Krevald and Michaels 1965. Reprinted with permission of the Journal of Dairy Science 48(3), 259-265.)...

The crystals of a-hydrate lactose usually occur in a prism or tomahawk shape. The latter is the basic shape and all other shapes are derived from it by different relative growth rates of the various faces. The shape of an a-hydrate lactose crystal is shown in Figure 4-17. The crystal has been character-...
