Feedback control of unstable cellular solidification fronts.
We present a feedback control scheme to stabilize unstable cellular patterns during the directional solidification of a binary alloy. The scheme is based on local heating of cell tips which protrude ahead of the mean position of all tips in the array. The feasibility of this scheme is demonstrated using phase-field simulations and, experimentally, using a real-time image processing algorithm, t...
متن کاملMelting of metastable crystallites in charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions.
We use low-frequency electrophoresis to crystallize monodisperse charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions. Rather than reverting directly to their equilibrium fluid state when the field is removed, some suspensions retain long-lived metastable crystallites whose evolution we track using highresolution digital video microscopy. To quantify the decay of order in this system we introduce an empiric...
متن کاملDestabilization of Colloidal Suspensions 3.1 COLLOIDAL SUSPENSIONS
Many impurities in waters and wastewaters are present as colloidal dispersions, i.e. they occur in particulate form within the approximate size range 1 to 10 -3 μm (refer Fig 1.3). Examples of this type of suspension include clays, substances of biological origin such as natural colour, proteins, carbohydrates and their natural or industrial derivatives. Invariably suspensions of this type poss...
متن کاملInterfacial undercooling in solidification of colloidal suspensions: analyses with quantitative measurements
Interfacial undercooling in the complex solidification of colloidal suspensions is of significance and remains a puzzling problem. Two types of interfacial undercooling are supposed to be involved in the freezing of colloidal suspensions, i.e., solute constitutional supercooling (SCS) caused by additives in the solvent and particulate constitutional supercooling (PCS) caused by particles. Howev...
متن کاملConsolidation of Colloidal Suspensions
A key step in the processing of ceramics is the consolidation of powders into engineered shapes. Colloidal processing uses solvents (usually water) and dispersants to break up powder agglomerates in suspension and thereby reduce the pore size in a consolidated compact. However, agglomeration and particle rearrangement leading to pore enlargement can still occur during drying. Therefore, it is b...
