Surface Tension of Fluidized Particles.

Surface Tension of Serum

An attempt was made to apply to the study of immune sera the fact, pointed out in our previous papers, that at a given dilution the serum shows a maximum drop of surface tension in function of time (time-drop). The results of the experiments here reported would seem to indicate that: 1. The time-drop of a serum solution is greater after the animal has been immunized than before immunization (fr...

Surface Tension of Serum

As stated in previous papers, 1-4 the four essential conditions under which the presence of antibodies in immune serum can be detected and followed by means of what might be termed the tensiometric method are: first, the dilution of the serum to 1:10,000; second, the use of strictly clean vessels; third, the care in handling the solutions, which must absolutely not be disturbed between the two ...

Prediction of Surface Tension in Single and Mixed Electrolyte Solutions

Dynamical simulation of fluidized beds: Hydrodynamically interacting granular particles.

A numerical simulation of a gas-fluidized bed is performed without introduction of any empirical parameters. Realistic bubbles and slugs are observed in our simulation. It is found that the convective motion of particles is important for the bubbling phase and there is no convection in the slugging phase. From the simulation results, non-Gaussian distributions are found in the particle velociti...

Surface Tension Prediction of Hydrocarbon Mixtures Using Artificial Neural Network

In this study, artificial neural network was used to predict the surface tension of 20 hydrocarbon mixtures. Experimental data was divided into two parts (70% for training and 30% for testing). Optimal configuration of the network was obtained with minimization of prediction error on testing data. The accuracy of our proposed model was compared with four well-known empirical equations. The arti...
