Viscosity coefficients polarity dependence

Solvent characteristics that influence the diffusion and extraction are found to be viscosity ( )) and polarity ( ). For spherical solutes, the diffusion coefficient depends on the solvent according to the Stokes-Einstein relation (Eq. (22)). From this, it follows that the diffusion coefficient linearly increases with T/t). Hence, the permeability increases linearly with the reciprocal viscosity of the membrane solvent [95]. Figure 2.11 shows relation of the diffusion coefficient to the solvent viscosity. 

As it has appeared in recent years that many hmdamental aspects of elementary chemical reactions in solution can be understood on the basis of the dependence of reaction rate coefficients on solvent density [2, 3, 4 and 5], increasing attention is paid to reaction kinetics in the gas-to-liquid transition range and supercritical fluids under varying pressure. In this way, the essential differences between the regime of binary collisions in the low-pressure gas phase and tliat of a dense enviromnent with typical many-body interactions become apparent. An extremely useful approach in this respect is the investigation of rate coefficients, reaction yields and concentration-time profiles of some typical model reactions over as wide a pressure range as possible, which pemiits the continuous and well controlled variation of the physical properties of the solvent. Among these the most important are density, polarity and viscosity in a contimiiim description or collision frequency. 

To procure a full-scale hydrodynamic model, we may need microrheological data [85-89] (especially for PFPEs with polar endgroups, i.e., Zdol). When the microrheological data are not available, one could use a simplified form of q(z) = pg/( -j to develop the improved hydrodynamic model. Here p/ is the bulk viscosity and / is a function of z to be determined experimentally. A partial justification for the abovementioned functional form can be drawn from the temperature dependence of the surface diffusion coefficient and the bulk viscosity [10], or the fly stiction correlation with the bulk viscosity [9]. We examine the rheological properties of PFPE separately in Section II.C. 

The mobile liquid phase is chosen on the basis of its two main effects—on band broadening and on the partition ratio of the solute. Since band broadening depends in part on the diffusion coefficient in the mobile liquid phase, with high-speed liquid chromatography the coefficient should be large. Hence, liquids of low viscosity are desirable Snyder and Saunders recommended the use of liquids with viscosities less than 0.004 g/s-cm (0.4 cP) at the temperature of the column. Some liquids with suitably low viscosities at 25°C are n-hexane, 0.0031 diethyl ether, 0.0023 methyl acetate, 0.0037 acetonitrile, 0,0037 carbon disulfide, 0.0037 diethylamine, 0.0038 benzene, 0.0065 methanol, 0.0060 acetic acid, 0.0126 chloroform, 0.0057 pyridine, 0.0094. The factor governing the partition ratio of the solute between the stationary and mobile phases is the resultant of the interactions of the mobile liquid ffiase with the stationary phase and the solute. The selectivity depends in part on the polarities of these three materials. 

The extraction (and hence the transport) efficiency depends on several diluent factors such as Schmidt empirical diluent parameter [124,125], the Swain s acity and basity parameters along with the Dimroth and Reichardt polarity indices [126], dielectric constant [127], refractive index [127] and viscosity [127], and the Hildebrand s solubility parameter [128]. The permeability coefficients (Paio) were computed from the Wlke-Chang, Scheibel, and Ratcliff [129,130] equations, which compared reasonably well with the experimentally determined values as shown in Table 31.10. Efiiassadi and Do [131] have, on the other hand, taken into account only the viscosity and solubility effect of the diluent and the carrier immobilized in SLM. They have reported that these two factors influenced the transport rates significantly. 

For mass transfer controlled operations, such as when concentration polarization is dominant, flux enhancement due to temperature increase will depend on the value of mass transfer coefiBcient. This is related to the cross-flow velocity, diffusion coefficient and viscosity. Thus, for example, even... 

The dimensions of a are the same as those of the diffusion coefficient and of the kinematic viscosity, therefore the process of heat transport due to conduction can be treated as the diffusion of heat with the diffusion coefficient a, bearing in mind that the transport mechanisms of diffusion and heat conductivities are identical. The coefficient of heat conductivity of gases increases with temperature. For the majority of liquids the value of k decreases with increasing T. Polar liquids, such as water, are an exception. For these, the dependence k(T) shows a maximum value. As well as the coefficient of viscosity, the coefficient of heat conductivity also shows a weak pressure-dependence. 

Because of orientation-dependent terms in both the moments and the Boltzmann factor values of B are much siore sensitive to molecular anisotropies than the pressure virial coefficient or the gas shear viscosity as a function of temperature. For nonpolar molecules quadrupole moment effects are large in the case of CO2 for example demonstrating the importance of quadrupole moments Q s 4.2 X 10 esitcii)> inferred from B while octopole and even hexadecapole effects can be recognized for more symmetrical molecules e.g. CH and SFg. For polar molecules permanent dipole interactions also come into play and anisotropy of repulsive forces (shape) is also important. The result is a very wide range in magnitudes and sign of B even for relatively simple molecules and comparison of calculated values with experiment is a sensitive test of multipole moments and anisotropies of used in the calculation. All these matters are discussed in detail by Sutter (21). 

The pure component databank only stores correlation coefficients for the ideal-gas or zero-density temperature dependency. In the vapor phase, properties are corrected by means of generalized equations. In the case of the thermodynamic properties, the equation of state developed by Lee Kesler (1975) is employed. For the transport properties the correlation of Stiel Thodos (1964a,b) is used for thermal conductivity and that of Jossi et al. (1962) for viscosity. Both transport property corrections employ mechanisms for differentiating between polar and nonpolar streams. 

If the direction of motion of polar molecules of the monomer under influence of the inducing field coincides with the diffusion direction proceeding under the effect of concentration forces, then velocities of motion of polar molecules are additive, diffusion is intensified, and the diffusion coefficient in this case depends not only on temperature and viscosity of the material, in which diffusion is performed, but also on the dipole momentum value of the diffusate molecules.
