Mass Transfer From Spherical Gas Bubbles And Liquid Droplets Moving Through Power-Law Fluids In The Laminar Flow Regime, Robert M. Wellek, Cheng Chun Huang Jan 1970

Mass Transfer From Spherical Gas Bubbles And Liquid Droplets Moving Through Power-Law Fluids In The Laminar Flow Regime, Robert M. Wellek, Cheng Chun Huang

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Calculated mass transfer coefficients for the continuous phase are presented for internally circulating spheres of a Newtonian fluid traveling through a power-law-type continuous phase in the so-called creeping-flow region. The Nakano and Tien stream functions allow the Sherwood number to be computed as a function of the Peclet number, power-law index, and a viscosity ratio parameter. The Hirose and Moo-Young relation is shown to be a limiting case of this numerical solution. Mass transfer rates increase as the fluids become more pseudoplastic and/or the continuous phase consistency index increases, all other factors held constant. © 1970, American Chemical Society.

Some Effects Of Oh Groups On Sodium Silicate Glasses, Mokhtar Sayed Maklad Jan 1970

Some Effects Of Oh Groups On Sodium Silicate Glasses, Mokhtar Sayed Maklad

Doctoral Dissertations

"Glasses of various compositions in the Na₂O-SiO₂ system were prepared with different levels of OH concentration. Phase separation kinetics, thermal expansion, radiation induced optical absorption, and internal friction of these glasses were studied. The increase in OH content in these glasses was found to (a) enhance the rate of phase separation; (b) increase thermal expansion above the glass temperature and change the dilatometric softening temperature in a way that depends on microstructure; (c) increase the radiation induced optical absorption bands associated with positive hole centers and decrease those associated with electron trap centers; and, (d) decrease the low temperature alkali …


Extension Of Some Theorems Of Complex Functional Analysis To Linear Spaces Over The Quaternions And Cayley Numbers, James E. Jamison Jan 1970

Extension Of Some Theorems Of Complex Functional Analysis To Linear Spaces Over The Quaternions And Cayley Numbers, James E. Jamison

Doctoral Dissertations

"In this work certain aspects of Functional Analysis are considered in the setting of linear spaces over the division rings of the real Quaternions and the real Cayley algebra. The basic structure of Banach spaces over these division rings and the rings of bounded operators on these spaces is developed. Examples of finite and infinite dimensional spaces over these division rings are given. Questions concerning linear functionals, the Hahn-Banach Theorem and Reflexivity are considered. The Stone-Weierstrass Theorem is proven for functions with values in a real Cayley Dickson algebra of dimension n. The concepts of inner product spaces and Hilbert …


Model-Referenced Adaptive Control Of Plants With Noise And Inaccessible State Vector, Donald James Schooley Jan 1970

Model-Referenced Adaptive Control Of Plants With Noise And Inaccessible State Vector, Donald James Schooley

Doctoral Dissertations

"The problems of process noise, measurement noise, and inaccessible process state vector in the model-referenced system of Shackcloth-Butchart-Parks (SBP) are investigated. Since the system no longer possesses a static equilibrium point, the concept of asymptotic stability does not apply. However, by using Liapunov-like ideas, the error between the plant (process plus controller) and the model is shown to enter a region about the origin if certain bounds are known. A possible technique for reducing the size of this region is to feedback a function of the error into the plant's input. Several methods of circumventing the inaccessible state vector problem …


Probe Detection Of Microwave Perturbation In A Magnetoplasma, Show-Ran Peter Wang Jan 1970

Probe Detection Of Microwave Perturbation In A Magnetoplasma, Show-Ran Peter Wang

Masters Theses

"When a microwave signal with a frequency near the electron upper hybrid resonance is applied to a magnetoplasma, it will excite the plasma. The perturbation of plasma can be detected by using Langmuir probes. The particular plasma used in this experiment is an argon discharge type and the density is relatively low (n~10⁸ cm⁻³). The electron temperature is about 7000º K. Because a magnetic field is applied to the plasma, it is necessary to use the probe theory in a magnetic field to calculate the electron number density from the electron temperature. In order to determine the electron upper hybrid …


The Anodic Oxidation Of Oxalic Acid On Au, Jean Louis Lucien Desmartin Jan 1970

The Anodic Oxidation Of Oxalic Acid On Au, Jean Louis Lucien Desmartin

Masters Theses

"The anodic oxidation of oxalic acid on Au has been studied at 25ºC in aqueous media. The reaction rate was measured as a function of potential, oxalic acid concentration, pH, and temperature in H₂SO₄-K₂SO₄ solutions. A change in the Tafel slope in going from the lower to the higher Tafel region is explained by an alteration of the reaction mechanism due to electrical interactions between adsorbed species and the anode. Further details of an oxidation sequence involving resonant forms of oxalic acid are proposed"--Abstract, page 1.

Infrared Reflectivity Of Doped Insb And Cds, Thomas J. Mcmahon, Robert John Bell Dec 1969

Infrared Reflectivity Of Doped Insb And Cds, Thomas J. Mcmahon, Robert John Bell

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The coupling of free carriers and lattice-vibrational modes in CdS and InSb was investigated by using reflectance measurements. When the free-carrier concentration is such that the longitudinal-optical-mode frequency is at or near the plasma frequency, the longitudinal mode takes on a mixed character and is shifted in a manner similar to that described by Varga in 1965, while the transverse mode remains fixed. The electron effective masses in such a situation can be determined with the lattice effects excluded. In the case of CdS, the polaron mass and additional absorption in the plasma mode above the longitudinal-optical phonon frequency must …


Entropy Of The Mixed State Of Some Low-Κ Type-Ii Superconductors, Don Carlos Hopkins, R. R. Rice, J. M. Carter, J. D. Hayes Dec 1969

Entropy Of The Mixed State Of Some Low-Κ Type-Ii Superconductors, Don Carlos Hopkins, R. R. Rice, J. M. Carter, J. D. Hayes

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The entropy of the mixed state of type-II superconductors with low κ(∼1) is studied for the alloys Pb0.96Tl0.04 and In0.88Sn0.12. The current theories are reviewed for approximations valid near Hc1 and near Hc2. The experiments show for the most reversible sample (Pb0.96Tl0.04) that (SB)T of the mixed state depends only on temperature, and that (ST)B increases linearly with B from its value for the superconducting state until it drops discontinuously to its normal state value at Hc2. There is no abrupt increase in the specific …

A Heavy-Ion Energy Loss Spectrometer, John T. Park, F. D. Schowengerdt Dec 1969

A Heavy-Ion Energy Loss Spectrometer, John T. Park, F. D. Schowengerdt

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

A high-resolution system for the measurement of the energy loss spectra of 20-250 keV heavy ions incident on gas targets is described. The high resolution is obtained by decelerating the ion beam to a low, well-defined energy before performing the energy analysis. The energy loss spectrum is determined by changing the accelerator energy to compensate for energy lost in collisions with the gas atoms. The system is arranged so that normal fluctuations in the accelerator's power supply do not affect the energy resolution. The resolving power of the system is 2.5x104. The primary proton beam has a detected WHM of …

Some New Approaches To Shallow Impurity States, Wayne E. Tefft, Robert John Bell, Harold V. Romero Dec 1969

Some New Approaches To Shallow Impurity States, Wayne E. Tefft, Robert John Bell, Harold V. Romero

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

A variational calculation of shallow surface impurity states including image-charge and anisotropic mass effects was performed using two different sets of orthogonal functions. The first set was obtained by varying the Bohr radius in the hydrogenic functions, separately for each state. In the second set the Bohr radius was allowed to become anisotropic, and the elements were separately treated as variational parameters. In each case it was shown that with certain restrictions on the variational parameters the set remained complete and orthogonal. General expressions for the energy eigenvalues for both the bulk and surface problem obtained from the first set …


Charge-Transfer Cross Sections For Negative Ions On Atomic And Molecular Targets, W. (William) R. Snow, R. D. Rundel, R. Geballe Dec 1969

Charge-Transfer Cross Sections For Negative Ions On Atomic And Molecular Targets, W. (William) R. Snow, R. D. Rundel, R. Geballe

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Charge-transfer cross sections for H- on O, O2, and NO2; O- on H, O, H2, O2, and NO2; and C- on H and O have been measured over an energy range of 0.5 to 4 keV using a modulated crossed-beam apparatus. The experimental cross sections are compared with theories of resonant and non-resonant charge transfer based on a two-state approximation. For the reactions H-+O O-+H, the cross sections are found to be consistent with detailed balancing. The effect of electron detachment on charge-transfer …

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The Mössbauer spectra of the system (PbTiO3)0.95(BiFeO3)0.05 have been studied from room temperature to 585°C. From the isomer-shift of 0.491±0.02 mmsec-1 at room temperature, the ionicity is found to be 60% ± 20%. A discontinuity in the plot of isomer-shift versus temperature at Tc is observed. The quadrupole splitting at room temperature is 0.295 ± 0.02 mm/sec-1. A dip in the Mössbauer fraction is observed at the Curie temperature.

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In a new type of pulsating, liquid extractor, pulsating energy is added to the counter currently flowing liquid streams by a stainless-steel wire mesh packing which is reciprocated vertically in a 3-inch i.d. extraction column. The mass transfer performance and flooding characteristics are studied as a function of the frequency and amplitude of reciprocation, the total solvent and feed throughputs, and choice of phase dispersion. The benzene-HAc-H2O and MIBK-HAcH2O systems were used. Extraction data for the benzene system were correlated in terms of a dimensionless pulse velocity group. Operating throughputs are significantly higher than those achieved …

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The reaction between Ce(IV) and EDTA was followed titrimetrically and spectrophotometrically and was found to occur in stages. Four equivalents of Ce(IV) are reduced per mole of EDTA almost instantaneously at room temperature. With increasing temperature and reaction time an ultimate of about 14 equivalents of Ce (IV) is consumed per mole of EDTA. Carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, and other yet unidentified compounds are the products of oxidation of EDTA. The kinetics of the reaction in aqueous sulfuric acid was studied over the temperature range 11.7°-40°C by a spectrophotometric technique. The effects of the acidity of the medium and of added …


Diffusion Coefficients Of D-Glucose In Aqueous Carboxymethylcellulose And Carboxypolymethylene Solutions, A. L. Huang, S. V. Desai, Robert M. Wellek Jul 1969

Diffusion Coefficients Of D-Glucose In Aqueous Carboxymethylcellulose And Carboxypolymethylene Solutions, A. L. Huang, S. V. Desai, Robert M. Wellek

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A micro interferometric method was used to determine pseudo-binary, molecular diffusion coefficients for diffusion of D-glucose in aqueous carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and aqueous carboxypolymethylene (Carbopol) solutions. An initial solute concentration of about 9 wt. % D-glucose in the aqueous polymer solutions was used. The polymer concentrations for the CMC solutions ranged from 1.2 to 2.2 wt. % and for the Carbopol solutions from 0.18 to 0.28 wt. %. Diffusion coefficients were determined as a function of reduced solute concentration, both with and without the effect of solution volume change during diffusion being considered. © 1969, American Chemical Society.
