We introduce a close packing model of the particles from the disperse phase of a liquid dispersion. With this model, we find the sediment volumes, the emergent, and the bound dispersion medium. We formulate a new approach for determining the equivalent radii of the particles from the sediment and the emergent (different from the Stokes method). We also describe an easy manner to apply algebraic...

A temporal stability analysis was carried out to model the atomization of a swirling viscous non-Newtonian annular liquid sheet emanating from an air-blast atomizer subject to inner and outer inviscid swirling air streams. The dimensionless dispersion equation that governs the instability of a viscous non-Newtonian annular liquid sheet under swirling air streams was obtained. Numerical solution...

The photocatalytic effect of TiO2 has great potential for the disinfection of surfaces. Most studies reported in the literature use UV activation of TiO₂, while visible light has been used only in a few applications. In these studies, high concentrations of TiO₂, which can compromise surface properties, have been used. In this work, we have developed an acrylic-water paint dispersion containing...

We consider fifth-order nonlinear dispersive K(m,n, p) type equations to study the effect of nonlinear dispersion. Using simple scaling arguments we show, how, instead of the conventional solitary waves like solitons, the interaction of the nonlinear dispersion with nonlinear convection generates compactons the compact solitary waves free of exponential tails. This interaction also generates ma...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with their extraordinary combination of mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, have emerged as a revolutionary class nanomaterials immense potential in energy storage harvesting devices. Realizing this hinges on fundamental challenge: the dispersion stability CNTs within various matrices. This review paper provides comprehensive exploration critical interplay b...

In this paper, a class of fractional advection-dispersion models (FADMs) is considered. These models include five fractional advection-dispersion models, i.e., the times FADM, the mobile/immobile time FADM with a time Caputo fractional derivative 0 < γ < 1, the space FADM with two sides Riemann-Liouville derivatives, the timespace FADM and the time fractional advection-diffusion-wave model with...

A grid model was developed to combine small-scale grid resolution and long-term predictions of radionuclide dispersion in shallow seas. A predictor-corrector algorithm ensures an unconditional stability of the model. Four modules calculate the concentration of suspended sediments, the dispersion of radionuclides in the marine environment, and the doses to members of the public and marine biota....

Elliptically polarized light-scattering measurements were performed to investigate the dispersion behavior of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). Xylene- and pyridine-derived MWNT powders were dispersed in water and ethanol in separate optic cells and allowed to sit undisturbed over a two-week time period after probe sonication. Continuous light-scattering measurements taken between scattering...

Nano-dispersions of perfluorocarbon (PFC) or PFC emulsions are substitutes of erythrocytes. They perform the function of the gas transport on condition when the particle structure will be preserved. The invariable values of the size and surface properties of the spherical PFC particles characterize the stability of their structure. The stable nano-dispersion on base PFC and phospholipids (PL) a...
