In this study, the use of the three-layer feed forward neural network has been investigated for estimating of infinite dilute diffusion coefficient ( D12 ) of supercritical fluid (SCF), liquid and gas binary systems. Infinite dilute diffusion coefficient was spotted as a function of critical temperature, critical pressure, critical volume, normal boiling point, molecular volume in normal boilin...

In this study, thermodynamic properties, namely retention volume, infinitely dilute weight fraction activity coefficient, Flory–Huggins interaction parameter, solubility parameter of the polymer, partition coefficient and diffusion coefficients of the various solvents in poly(methyl methacrylate co butyl methacrylate) (PMMA co BMA) at infinite dilution of the solvent have been determined by inv...

The diffusive motion of foreign particles dispersed in a premelting solid is analyzed within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics. We determine the mass diffusion coefficient, thermal diffusion coefficient and Soret coefficient of the particles in the dilute limit, and find good agreement with experimental data. In contrast to liquid suspensions, the unique nature of premelting solids a...

2014 We show experimentally that the translational diffusion coefficient of a semi-dilute solution does not depend on the time scale over which the measurement is made. As a consequence isothermal and adiabatic compressibilities are identical in semi-dilute solutions, and this diffusion coefficient can be viewed either as a cooperative diffusion coefficient in the pseudo-gel model, or as a diff...

The dynamics of polyelectrolytes in salt-free solution is an unsolved problem. We have investigated the sedimentation and diffusion of xanthan and poly(N-methyl 4-vinyl pyridine iodide) (P4VPI) in salt-free dilute solutions by analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) using sedimentation velocity (SV) as a function of polyelectrolyte concentration (Cp). Our study reveals two concentration regimes di...

Laser scanning confocal microscopy combined with fluorescence recovery after photobleaching is an effective tool to measure the diffusion coefficients of macromolecules in cross-linked hydrogels and polymer solutions. In this study, the effects of enzyme treatment on the diffusion of macromolecules (FITC-dextran) in guar solutions and titanium-guar hydrogels are examined. Enzyme treatment with ...

Acetic acid was separated from a dilute mixture using a commercial polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membrane.  Intrinsic separation characteristics of the membrane were studied as a function of temperature.  The degree of membrane swelling decreased marginally with increase in feed temperature. At 25oC the maximum degree of swelling was found out to be 46.3%, which reduced to 39.5%...

Temperature and molecular weight dependence of k o in D(C)=D(O)[1 +CkD], where D(C) is the diffusion coefficient for the density fluctuations in a dilute polymer solution, is investigated by first expressing D(C) as a function of the static structure factor S(q,C) within the framework of the Kirkwood-Riseman theory. The continuous transition of k D from negative values under theta conditions to...

Self-diffusion coefficients of poly(ethylene glycol)2k-derivatized lipids (DSPE-PEG2k-CF) in glass-supported DOPC phospholipid bilayers are ascertained from quantitative fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). We developed a first-order reaction-diffusion model to ascertain the bleaching constant, mobile fraction and lipopolymer self-diffusion coefficient D(s) at concentrations in th...
