Water dielectric parameters

Figure 28. Experimental frequency dependences of dielectric parameters recorded for liquid water (a) Real (curve 1) and imaginary (curve 2) parts of the complex permittivity at 27°C. The data are from Refs. 42 (solid lines) and 17 (circles), (b) Absorption coefficient. Solid line and crosses 1 refer to 1°C filled circles 2 refer to 27°C dashed line and squares 3 refer to 50°C. For lines the data from Ref. 17 were employed, for circles the data are from Ref. 42, for crosses and squares the data are from Ref. 53.

The waveguide system used to measure the dielectric parameters of water and other lossy liquids has been described previously (3J. Basically it involves the measurement of the power profile of a wave reflected from a movable short circuit as it traverses the liquid under test. 

Three dielectric parameters are characteristic of the electrical and viscous properties of tissue water a) the conductance of ions in water, b) the relaxation frequency fc, and c) the static dielectric permittivity eQ observed at f fc =...

The more significant error is associated with the specific mathematical model chosen to describe the system. Each computer code is based on assumptions concerning the equations, algorithms and constants used to compute basic quantities such as the activity coefficients, solvent parameters, (activity of water, dielectric constant, density, etc.), and how these quantities vary with temperature and pressure. None of the commonly used models report the likely range of error which is a... 

Figure 3 Dielectric parameters as a function of hydrate formation in W/O emulsions, (a) Static pemtittivily vs. time, during hydrate formation the different sjraibols indicate different mole fractions between the hydrate-fomting compoimd and water relative to the 17 1 water guest ratio expected in hydrates of stmcture 11. (b) Dielectric relaxation time vs. time, during hydrate formation. (Adapted from Ref 6.)...

In this model it is assumed that the CCI3F hydrate formation starts at the droplet interface. As the clathrate hydrate grows to the center of the droplets, a shell (with a permittivity typical of hydrates) forms. By inserting the dielectric parameters (Table 1) the experimentally obtained spectra may be fitted to model spectra for emulsion systems having different relative thicknesses of the shell. Hence, it is possible to calculate the amount of free water converted into clathrate hydrates. By using such a procedure it has been possible to evaluate the kinetics of hydrate formation in W/O emulsions (13).
