Volume fraction coarse

The thickness is 2 nm for the GH layer and 3-8 nm for the SH layer, therefore the total thickness of the GH and SH layers is 5-10 nm. Generally, the thickness of the SH layer is smaller in fine carbon-filled mbber than in the coarse one. In the case of the fine carbon black like HAF, its diameter being about 30 nm, the thickness is 2 nm for the GH layer and 4—5 nm for the SH layer, for example. When the volume fraction of HAF carbon is 20% in SBR, the total thickness of both layers (6-7 nm) corresponds to the volume fraction of 30%-35% to the total mbber. The 2 nm thickness of the GH layer is a little less than 10% of the diameter of a fine carbon black (20-30 nm), but it is only 1% of that of a coarse carbon black (100-200 nm). 

Studies have also shown that, since the amount of reinforcement added affects all mechanical and thermal properties, there is an optimum volume fraction of particle or whisker reinforcement that should be added to the matrix material to ensure superior resistance to thermal shock (Becher, 1981 Jia etal., 1996 Sbaizero and Pezzotti, 2003 Pettersson and Johnson, 2003). The shape of the reinforcement also plays an important role in determining behaviour under thermal shock. Sbaizero and Pezzotti (2003) showed that the use of coarse and elongated particles resulted in better CMC performance compared with the use of fine-grained particles. 

A method requiring much less mechanical energy uses phase inversion see also the discussion of phase inversion temperature in the section Emulsifying Agents )- For example, if ultimately a W/O emulsion is desired, then a coarse OAV emulsion is first prepared by the addition of mechanical energy, and the oil content is progressively increased. At some volume fraction above 60-70%, the emulsion will suddenly invert and produce a W/O emulsion of much smaller water droplet sizes than were the oil droplets in the original O/W emulsion. 

The computational domain was divided into 1,401 elements, for 186 nodes. With this coarse grid, errors in area determinations were on the order of 0.5% (volume fraction errors were about 0.2%). With s set equal to unit, / was chosen to be sinusoidal with period 2 f(y) = a. sin n y — ). Thus the unit cell is actually homeomorphic to two unit cells of the P surface, so that b — 2. The amplitude a was varied up to a value of 0.6, and the result for 0.6 is shown in Fig. 8 (see color insert) two unit cells are shown side by side. 

Figure 9.4.1 Relative viscosity of a bidisperse coal slurry made up of a colloidal fine fraction of mean diameter 2.3 /j,m and a noncolloidal coarse fraction of 200—300 m particles of mean diameter about 250 fim as a function of shear rate. The volume fraction of the colloidal particles = 0.30 and of the coarse particles , = 0.52. The solid line is a mean curve through the measured viscosities of the colloidal fraction. The triangles are the experimental points for the measured viscosity for the fine plus coarse mixture. The dashed line is the fine relative viscosity experimental curve redrawn through the data points to illustrate the parallelism. The upward shift of this curve corresponds to a coarse relative viscosity log 77, = 2.13. [After Sengun, M.Z. Probstein, R.F. 1989.

Assume now that the suspension is bimodal with equal volumes of colloidal and coarse particles. The total solids volume fraction is the same as in Part a, and the colloidal fraction has the same viscosity behavior. The coarse particles are very large compared to the colloidal particles, so that they are not affected by colloidal forces. Determine the volumetric flow rate, Q, and compare the result with that obtained in Part a.
