The asymptotic frequency, ω, dependence of the dynamic viscosity of neutral hard sphere colloidal suspensions is shown to be of the form η 0 A(φ)(ωτ P) −1/2 , where A(φ) has been determined as a function of the volume fraction φ, for all concentrations in the fluid range, η 0 is the solvent viscosity and τ P the Péclet time. For a soft potential it is shown that, to leading order in the steepne...

Equation i 1) is strictly applicable in ideal dilute solutions in which convective transport due to volume changes on mixing is negligible, and in which other possible modes of mass transfer are not operative. This paper represents an attempito generalize the relation of P to conveniently available properties of dilute solutions so as to permit estimation of diffusion coefficients for engineeri...

We studied the thermal diffusion behavior of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNiPAM) in ethanol in a temperature range from T = 14.0 degrees C to T = 40.0 degrees C by means of thermal diffusion forced Rayleigh scattering. The obtained Soret coefficient S(T) of PNiPAM was positive for lower temperatures (T < 34 degrees C), while S(T) showed a negative value for higher temperatures (T > 34 degrees ...

An analytical solution for one-dimensional diffusion of chemicals under coupled chemical and thermal potentials is presented. The theoretical formulation considered includes heat conduction and chemical diffusion due to both molecular and thermal diffusion potentials. Laplace transformation technique has been used to derive the analytical solution to the problem in a semi-infinite domain. The r...

For distributed arithmetic the latency is proportional to the maximal number of fractional bits for any coefficient. When implementing recursive filters this is a disadvantage as the resulting minimal sample period may be longer compared with an implementation using separate multiplications and additions. In this paper we propose a method to decrease the latency for inputs where the correspondi...

Sediment profiles in open channels are usually predicted by advection-diffusion models. Most basic forms consider the terminal settling velocity of a single particle in still clear water. Alternative forms account for hindered settling at higher concentrations. It is not known, however, how these modifications relate to mass and momentum conservation of each phase. For dilute flow, it is known ...

Colloidal suspensions flowing through microchannels were studied for the effects of both the shear flow and the proximity of walls on the particles' self-diffusion. Use of hydrostatic pressure to pump micron-sized silica spheres dispersed in water-glycerol mixture through poly(dimethylsiloxane) channels with a cross section of 30×24μm(2), allowed variation in the local Peclet number (Pe) from 0...
