Two plates

A second ideal model for adhesion is that of a liquid wetting two plates, forming a circular meniscus, as illustrated in Fig. XII-13. Here a Laplace pressure P = 2yz.A (h ws the plates together and, for a given volume of liquid.

As illustrated in Fig. XU-13, a drop of water is placed between two large parallel plates it wets both surfaces. Both the capillary constant a and d in the figure are much greater than the plate separation x. Derive an equation for the force between the two plates and calculate the value for a 1-cm drop of water at 20°C, with x = 0.5, 1, and 2 mm. 

Hence sulphuric acid is used up and insoluble lead(II) sulphate deposited on both plates. This process maintains a potential difference between the two plates of about 2 V. If now a larger potential difference than this is applied externally to the cell (making the positive plate the anode) then the above overall reaction is reversed, so that lead dioxide is deposited on the anode, lead is deposited on the cathode, and sulphuric acid is re-formed. Hence in the electrolyte, we have ... 

Figure 2.1 served as the basis for our initial analysis of viscosity, and we return to this representation now with the stipulation that the volume of fluid sandwiched between the two plates is a unit of volume. This unit is defined by a unit of contact area with the walls and a unit of separation between the two walls. Next we consider a shearing force acting on this cube of fluid to induce a unit velocity gradient. According to Eq. (2.6), the rate of energy dissipation per unit volume from viscous forces dW/dt is proportional to the square of the velocity gradient, with t]q (pure liquid, subscript 0) the factor of proportionality ... 

A contact between two plates is considered provided that one of the plates has a crack. In a stress free state both plates remain at a given distance from each other. The plate displacements satisfy two restrictions of inequality type. The first restriction describes the nonpenetration between the plates, and it is considered in the exterior of the domain. The second one describes the nonpenetration between crack faces. 

The next theorem provides an additional smoothness of the solution as compared to Theorem 3.4 provided that there is no a contact between two plates in a neighbourhood of a fixed point of the crack.

Two parallel plates of conducting material separated by an insulation material, called the dielectric, constitutes an electrical condenser. The two plates may be electrically charged by connecting them to a source of direct current potential. The amount of electrical energy that can be stored in this manner is called the capacitance of the condenser, and is a function of the voltage, area of the plates, thickness of the dielectric, and the characteristic property of the dielectric material called dielectric constant. 

The maximum shear rate (at the plate rim) is given by equation 32, where is the radius of the plate and h the distance between the two plates. 

A guarded hot-plate method, ASTM D1518, is used to measure the rate of heat transfer over time from a warm metal plate. The fabric is placed on the constant temperature plate and covered by a second metal plate. After the temperature of the second plate has been allowed to equiUbrate, the thermal transmittance is calculated based on the temperature difference between the two plates and the energy required to maintain the temperature of the bottom plate. The units for thermal transmittance are W/m -K. Thermal resistance is the reciprocal of thermal conductivity (or transmittance). Thermal resistance is often reported as a do value, defined as the insulation required to keep a resting person comfortable at 21°C with air movement of 0.1 m/s. Thermal resistance in m -K/W can be converted to do by multiplying by 0.1548 (121). 

The metal-plating baths used are acidic copper sulfate and alkaline silver cyanide. Acid contamination ia the alkaline silver cyanide bath will release extremely poisonous hydrogen cyanide gas. Eor this reason, the two plating setups should be isolated from each other. Both plating baths should be weU... 

Plate-and-Frame Tests These tests should be conducted if the use of a filter press in the plant is anticipated at least a few confirming tests are advisable after preliminaiy leaf tests, unless the sluriy is veiy rapidly filtering. A laboratory-size filter press consisting of two plates and a single frame may be used. It will permit the observation of solids-settling, cake-pacldug, and washing behavior, which may be quite different for a frame than for a leaf. 

Plate pr esses. Sometimes called sheet filters, these are assemblies of plates, sheets of filter media, and sometimes screens or frames. Thev are essentially modified filter presses with practically no cakeholding capacity. A press may consist of many plates or of a single filter sheet between two plates, the plates may be rectangular or circular, and the sheets may lie in a horizontal or vertical plane. The operation is similar to that of a filter press, and the flow rates are about the same as for disk filters. The operating pressure usually does not exceed 138 kPa (20 psig). The presses are used most frequently for low-viscosity liqmds, but an ordinaiy filter press with thin frames is commonly used as a clarifier for 100-Pa s (1000-P) rayon-spinning solution. Here the filtration pressure may be 6900 kPa (1000 psig). 

It is also accepted that after such an event, the ruptured earth surfaces may try to settle down again. It is possible that during the course of such a realignment there may still remain pockets of energy between the two plates until they finally settle. These may develop into releases of stresses once again, leading to occasional tremors or earthquakes even for. several days tifter a major earthquake or volcanic eruption. The earthquakes in Turkey are examples where two equally devastating earthquakes occurred between September and November 1999. 

Corrosion usually results in a leak or failure of a support because a vessel or support gets too thin. It is then not strong enough to withstand the pressure or load. However, rust can cause failure in another way. It occupies about seven times the volume of the steel from which it was formed. V/hen rust occurs between two plates that have been bolted or riveted together, a high pressure develops. This can force the plates apart or even break the bolts or rivets (see Section 9.1.2 g). Corrosion of the reinforcement bars in concrete can cause the concrete to crack and break away.

Cylindrical geometry is obtained by placing two plates parallel to each other and introducing a gas mixture between them. The gas is usually ignited in the center. Obstacles are introduced to enhance the combustion rate (Figure 4.8). 

Van Wingerden and Zeeuwen (1983) demonstrated increases in flame speeds of methane, propane, ethylene, and acetylene by deploying an array of cylindrical obstacles between two plates (Table 4.3). They showed that laminar flame speed can be used as a scaling parameter for reactivity. Van Wingerden (1984) further investigated the effect of pipe-rack obstacle arrays between two plates. Ignition of an ethylene-air mixture at one edge of the apparatus resulted in a flame speed of 420 m/s and a maximum pressure of 0.7 bar.
