Physico-chemical properties of dense water/copper(II) bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate/CCl4 microemulsions

2007

Measurements of some physico-chemical properties (density, viscosity, conductance, infra-red spectra) of water/copper(II) bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (Cu(DEHSS)2)/CCl4 microemulsions, as a function of the volume fraction O of the dispersed phase (0 < O < 0.6) and of the molar ratio R (R = [water]/[DEHSS−]), have been performed at 25 °C. At each value of R, the density of the micellar phase is practically independent of O whereas the viscosity of microemulsions diverges above threshold O values. A divergent behavior for the electrical conductivity has also been observed but only at certain R values. These results, together with those from infra-red spectra, suggest that in percolated mi…

Viscosity of n-alcohol binary mixtures

1988

In this paper liquid mixture viscosities at 25 °C for 18 binary systems formed by primary n-alcohols have been measured. These values were fitted to Topological Treatment of Mixtures (T.T.M.) The pure compound topological description is obtained following the DARC system rules. A weighting function was introduced to obtain the topological description of a mixture. The results obtained with this model agree with experimental data (average deviation less than 2% in all cases). Dans cette etude, nous avons mesure des viscosites de melanges liquides a 25°C pour dix-huit systemes binaires formes par des n-alcools primaires. Ces valeurs ont ete calees par le traitement topologique des melanges (T…

Durch Viskositatsmessungen und spektroskopische Bestimmung des gebildeten Monomeren wird der saurekatalysierte Abbau von Poly-3,4-acrolein verfolgt. Er erfolgt fast ausschlieslich durch Kettenspaltung; eine Depolymerisation tritt nur in untergeordnetem Mase auf. Diese im Vergleich zu anderen polymeren Aldehyden unerwarteten Ergebnisse werden mit dem Auftreten eines durch Resonanz stabilisierten Kettenendes bei der Spaltung erklart. The acid-catalyzed degradation of poly-3,4-acrolein was investigated by viscosity and spectroscopic determination of the monomer formed. The degradation occurs predominantly by chain scission; depolymerization is of minor importance. The results are unexpected in…

The impact of whey protein preheating on the properties of emulsion gel bead

2014

Thermal treatment effect (70 or 80 °C for 5 or 30 min) was evaluated on functional properties of whey protein isolate (WPI) dispersions used for the development of novel vitamin A delivery systems based on emulsion gel beads. This process combines an (O/W) emulsion diluted by a polysaccharide solution and a cold-set gelation induced by salt addition. Pre-heated WPI had a significant impact on the denaturation degree and on the surface hydrophobicity, respectively studied by differential scanning calorimetry and fluorescence. Stronger heating conditions (i.e. duration or temperature) induced complete denaturation, an increase of surface hydrophobicity and of viscosity. Under these conditions…

Correlation analysis of the power law parameters for viscosity of some engineering fluids

2017

Knowledge and estimation of transport properties of fluids which are sensitive to temperature variation like viscosity are necessary in mass flow and heat transfer computation. In the present work,...

A compliant visco-plastic particle contact model based on differential variational inequalities

2013

This work describes an approach to simulate contacts between threedimensional shapes with compliance and damping using the framework of the differential variational inequality theory. Within the context of nonsmooth dynamics, we introduce an extension to the classical set-valued model for frictional contacts between rigid bodies, allowing contacts to experience local compliance, viscosity, and plasticization. Different types of yield surfaces can be defined for various types of contact, a versatile approach that contains the classic dry Coulomb friction as a special case. The resulting problem is a differential variational inequality that can be solved, at each integration time step, as a v…

Kramers potential study of the Rouse-like dynamics of short alkane chains.

1999

In this work we present a Kramers potential study of the orientational dynamics and shear viscosity of short chain alkanes. In this approach the determination of the orientational relaxation time is reduced to the calculation of static moments of single chain conformations. We study a chemically realistic alkane model that asymptotically produces Gaussian chain conformations by means of a Monte Carlo simulation. Our results are applicable to single chain descriptions of polymer melt dynamics and to the intrinsic viscosity of molecules in a Theta solvent. When we map the unknown time unit of our relaxation time result for one particular chain length and temperature to the value obtained for …

Treatment of Herráez equation correlating viscosity in binary liquid mixtures exhibiting strictly monotonous distribution

2013

Recently, Herraez et al. proposed a new correlation equation, which introduces a correcting polynomial as an exponential-acting upon the molar fraction of one of mixture components. This equation is found to be widely applicable with more reasonable accuracy in systems exhibiting monotonous distribution than those presenting an extremum. In previous works, we have found that the first adjustable parameter of this equation is a universal exponent (0.5 or 1) for dioxane–water and isobutyric acid–water mixtures characterising the presence of solute–solute or solute–solvent interaction at very high dilution. In this work, we have tested this equation in 48 systems, and we have noted that severa…

Solid–Liquid Suspensions in Top-Covered Unbaffled Vessels: Influence of Particle Size, Liquid Viscosity, Impeller Size, and Clearance

2014

Particle suspension in liquids is a unit operation commonly encountered in the process industry. Although it is usually carried out in baffled stirred tanks, there are some specific applications where the presence of baffles may be undesirable. In the present work solid-liquid suspensions are investigated in a radially stirred unbaffled tank provided with a top cover. The minimum impeller speed at which all solid particles get suspended (Njs) and the relevant power requirements (Pjs) are assessed. The dependence of these two parameters on physical properties (liquid viscosity, particle concentration, and size) and system geometrical configurations (impeller diameter and clearance) is invest…

Low-cost viscometer based on energy dissipation in viscous liquids

2001

We describe a new type of low-cost easy-to-use viscometer based on the temperature elevation in a liquid under shear flow. After calibration, this instrument can be used to measure the apparent steady state viscosity for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids with no yield stress. We compute the rise in temperature due to viscous dissipation in a Couette cell and compare it to experimental results for different fluids. We show that the variation of the temperature with shear rate can be used to characterize the rheological behaviour of viscous fluids and to evaluate their viscosity in a large domain, from typically a few cP up to more than 10 P, with an accuracy of about ±5%. In contrast …
