Coalescence of ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles is studied to prevent embolies [1] or to block tumour vessels. [2] Microbubble coalescence has been studied with the aid of high-speed photography. [3] In cloud physics the main mechanism of collision is the different terminal velocity between the droplets. The terminal velocity is a ...
Coalescence (chemistry), the process by which two or more separate masses of miscible substances seem to "pull" each other together should they make the slightest contact; Coalescence (physics), the merging of two or more droplets, bubbles or particles into one; Coalescer, device which induces coalescence in a medium
An alternative to this type of coalescer is a flow through pre-coalescer that is installed upstream in a separator tank. In the Compact Electrostatic Coalescer, [2] droplet coalescence is achieved by applying AC electric fields (50–60 Hz) to water-in-oil emulsions under turbulent-flow conditions. The turbulence increases the collision ...
This diagram describes the aggregation kinetics of discrete particles according to the Smoluchowski aggregation equation. In statistical physics, the Smoluchowski coagulation equation is a population balance equation introduced by Marian Smoluchowski in a seminal 1916 publication, [1] describing the time evolution of the number density of particles as they coagulate (in this context "clumping ...
Ostwald ripening in palladium nanoparticles dissolved in formaldehyde at 6 (a), 24 (b), 48 (c) and 72 hours (d). The small palladium particles are being consumed as the larger ones grow bigger. [1]
Extended Wulff constructions refers to a number of different ways to model the structure of nanoparticles as well as larger mineral crystals, and as such can be used to understand both the shape of certain gemstones or crystals with twins.as well as in other areas such as how nanoparticles play a role in the commercial production of chemicals using heterogeneous catalysts.
The headmaster invited Dr. Denis Osborne from the University College in Dar es Salaam to give a lecture on physics. After the lecture, Mpemba asked him, "If you take two similar containers with equal volumes of water, one at 35 °C (95 °F) and the other at 100 °C (212 °F), and put them into a freezer, the one that started at 100 °C (212 °F ...
The Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process (after Alfred Wegener, Tor Bergeron and Walter Findeisen []), (or "cold-rain process") is a process of ice crystal growth that occurs in mixed phase clouds (containing a mixture of supercooled water and ice) in regions where the ambient vapor pressure falls between the saturation vapor pressure over water and the lower saturation vapor pressure over ice.
