Equilibrium Phase-Behavior Of Nematic Mixtures, Hao-Wen Chiu, Thein Kyu Nov 1995

Equilibrium Phase-Behavior Of Nematic Mixtures, Hao-Wen Chiu, Thein Kyu

College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering

A phenomenological model for predicting phase diagrams of a binary nematic mixture containing side chain liquid crystalline polymers and/or low molar mass liquid crystals has been proposed by combining Flory-Huggins free energy of isotropic mixing and Maier-Saupe free energy for nematic ordering of the nematogens. Two orientational order parameters, s(1) and S-2, Of the two components in the mixtures having two different clearing temperatures are taken into consideration in the calculation. The Flory-Huggins interaction parameter, chi, and the nematic interaction parameter of the Maier-Saupe theory, nu(1) and nu(22), are assumed to be functions of inverse absolute temperature. Further the cross-nematic …

Diffusion In Inhomogeneous Polymer Membranes, Sameer Suresh Kasargod, Farhad Adib, Partho Neogi

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The dual mode sorption solubility isotherms assume, and in instances Zimm-Lundberg analysis of the solubilities show, that glassy polymers are heterogeneous and that the distribution of the solute in the polymer is also inhomogeneous. under some conditions, the heterogeneities cannot be represented as holes. a mathematical model describing diffusion in inhomogeneous polymer membranes is presented using Cahn and Hilliard's gradient theory. the fractional mass uptake is found to be proportional to the fourth root of time rather than the square root, predicted by Fickian diffusion. This type of diffusion is classified as pseudo-Fickian. the model is compared with one experimental …

Interphase Mass Transfer From Bubbles, Drops, And Solid Spheres: Diffusional Transport Enhanced By External Chemical Reaction, Leonid S. Kleinman, X. B. Reed Oct 1995

Interphase Mass Transfer From Bubbles, Drops, And Solid Spheres: Diffusional Transport Enhanced By External Chemical Reaction, Leonid S. Kleinman, X. B. Reed

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Interphase mass transfer has been analyzed for a reactant being transferred from a sphere into a quiescent, infinite continuous phase where it undergoes a chemical reaction. Ranges of the diffusivity ratio D, the distribution coefficient H, and the Damköhler number Da have been delineated, within which the overall resistance to mass transfer may be reasonably ascribed to the sum of the individual resistances in each of the two phases. Outside these parameter ranges, the resistances for two decoupled mass transfer problems may not be added to give the overall resistance to the coupled mass transfer problem. An alternative procedure for …

A New Spray Evaporation Model Based On Droplet Interface Phenomena, Nihad E. Daidzic, Gangolf Kohnen, Martin Sommerfeld Apr 1995

A New Spray Evaporation Model Based On Droplet Interface Phenomena, Nihad E. Daidzic, Gangolf Kohnen, Martin Sommerfeld

Aviation Department Publications

In this work the influence of droplet shape oscillations on droplet evaporation is shown. Through nonlinear mode interactions, turbulence and aerodynamic triggering of vibrations cause by vortex shedding, droplets always oscillates in spray flows. Droplet shape oscillation cause higher evaporation rates through several physical phenomena such as an average increase of the superficial surface area, periodic micro-convection and boundary layer destruction, and local saturation pressure changes due to local curvature effects. The inviscid theory of small-amplitude droplet oscillations was used which resulted in better agreement with the measurement data of droplet size distributions in sprays for different axial coordinates.

Excess Heat Capacity Surfaces For Water-Alkanol Mixtures By The Uniquac Model, Yaşar Demirel, Halime Ö. Paksoy Mar 1995

Excess Heat Capacity Surfaces For Water-Alkanol Mixtures By The Uniquac Model, Yaşar Demirel, Halime Ö. Paksoy

Papers in Physical Chemistry

Hydroorganic mixtures are industrial solvents that can serve as media to solubilize either water in hydrocarbon or a hydrophobic substance in water. In many cases the solubilizing capability is obtained via a homogeneous complex aqueous mixtures containing an alcohol. Since excess heat capacity CPE, is very sensitive to structural changes in mixtures, concentration and temperature dependence of CPE have been calculated by using the UNIQUAC model for the mixtures methanol(l)-water(%, ethanol(l)-water(2), and l-propanol(l)-water(2). The temperature-dependent parameters of the model estimated directly from CPE data at more than one different isotherm are used in …


Reaction Fronts In A Porous Medium. Approximation Techniques Versus Numerical Solution, Fernando Escobedo, Hendrik J. Viljoen Mar 1995

Reaction Fronts In A Porous Medium. Approximation Techniques Versus Numerical Solution, Fernando Escobedo, Hendrik J. Viljoen

Papers in Reaction Kinetics

The flame sheet approximation (FS) and a novel polynomial approximation technique (PA) are compared in terms of their capability to describe reaction fronts of highly exothermic reactions in a porous medium. A one-phase model and a two-phase model of a system with adiabatic walls and a radiant output (to approximate the case of a porous radiant burner) are included in the analysis. By matching the reaction zone solution found by either the FS or PA method with the solutions of the nonreacting zones, the temperature, conversion, and position of the reaction zone were determined. Numerical solutions for catalytic and noncatalytic …

Spinodals In A Polymer-Dispersed Liquid-Crystal, Chungsea Shen, Thein Kyu Jan 1995

Spinodals In A Polymer-Dispersed Liquid-Crystal, Chungsea Shen, Thein Kyu

College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering

Thermodynamic phase equilibria of a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) consisting of
monomeric liquid crystals and a polymer have been investigated theoretically and experimentally.
The equilibrium limits of phase separation as well as phase transition of a PDLC system were
calculated by taking into consideration the Flory–Huggins (FH) theory for the free energy of mixing
of isotropic phases in conjunction with the Maier–Saupe ~MS! theory for phase transition of a
nematic liquid crystal. The correspondence between the Landau–de Gennes expansion and the
Maier–Saupe theory was found and the coefficients were evaluated. The calculation based on the
combined FH-MS theory predicted …

A Parallel-Plate Electrochemical Reactor Model For The Destruction Of Nitrate And Nitrite In Alkaline Waste Solutions, D. H. Coleman, Ralph E. White, D. T. Hobbs Jan 1995

A Parallel-Plate Electrochemical Reactor Model For The Destruction Of Nitrate And Nitrite In Alkaline Waste Solutions, D. H. Coleman, Ralph E. White, D. T. Hobbs

Faculty Publications

A parallel-plate electrochemical reactor model with multiple reactions at both electrodes and anolyte and catholyte recirculation tanks was modeled for the electrochemical destruction of nitrate and nitrite species in an alkaline solution. The model can be used to predict electrochemical reaction current efficiencies and outlet concentrations of species from the reactor, given inlet feed conditions and cell operating conditions. Also, predictions are made for off-gas composition and liquid-phase composition in the recirculation tanks. The results of case studies at different applied potentials are shown here. At lower applied potentials, the model predictions show that the destruction process is more energy …
