The freeze-fracture technique has been developed to study solid-liquid dispersions. In this technique, a sample of dispersion is frozen, then fractured. A replica of the fracture surface is made and observed using a scanning electron microscope. The physical form of the solid thickener in dispersion can be studied, and the structure of the thickener can be revealed as well as a combination of rupture properties of the solid and the frozen liquid. The application of this technique is on lubricant greases. Greases are two-phase dispersed systems composed of mineral oil gelled with solid particles of soap. Three lithium 12-hydroxystearate greases are examined. Two different kinds of washing of the replica are used, the first eliminating the liquid phase. The configuration of soap particles and the network formed by them are observed, and artifacts such as twisting soap fibers are avoided. The second washing eliminates the solid and liquid phase. Examination of the fracture surface of the soap provides information on crystalline arrangement. The observed structures by freeze fracture are related to the thermal treatments during grease manufacture. The results are compared with the observations obtained from an electron transmission microscope analysis after preparation by the usual dispersion technique.

In this paper, the plasma discharge in a high-pressure fluid stream in order to produce gaseous hydrogen was studied. Methods and equipment have been developed for the excitation of a plasma discharge in a stream of liquid medium. The fluid flow under excessive pressure is directed to a hydrodynamic emitter located at the reactor inlet where a supersonic two-phase vapor-liquid flow under reduced pressure is formed in the liquid due to the pressure drop and decrease in the flow enthalpy. Electrodes are located in the reactor where an electric field is created using an external power source (the strength of the field exceeds the breakdown threshold of this two-phase medium) leading to theinitiation of a low-temperature glow quasi-stationary plasma discharge.A theoretical estimation of the parameters of this type of discharge has been carried out. It is shown that the lowtemperature plasma initiated under the flow conditions of a liquid-phase medium in the discharge gap between the electrodes can effectively decompose the hydrogen-containing molecules of organic compounds in a liquid with the formation of gaseous products where the content of hydrogen is more than 90%. In the process simulation, theoretical calculations of the voltage and discharge current were also made which are in good agreement with the experimental data. The reaction unit used in the experiments was of a volume of 50 ml and reaction capacity appeared to be about 1.5 liters of hydrogen per minute when using a mixture of oxygen-containing organic compounds as a raw material. During their decomposition in plasma, solid-phase products are also formed in insignificant amounts: carbon nanoparticles and oxide nanoparticles of discharge electrode materials.

The characteristics of axial dispersion in the liquid phase were measured for two basic flow regimes in a horizontal two-phase tube reactor. The data obtained indicate that in some flow regions, axial dispersion can be quite significant.

The prediction of phase equilibria for hydrocarbon/water blends in separators, is a subject of considerable importance for chemical processes. Despite its relevance, there are still pending questions. Among them, is the prediction of the correct number of phases. While a stability analysis using the Gibbs Free Energy of mixing and the NRTL model, provide a good understanding with calculation issues, when using HYSYS V9 and Aspen Plus V9 software, this shows that significant phase equilibrium uncertainties still exist. To clarify these matters, n-octane and water blends, are good surrogates of naphtha/water mixtures. Runs were developed in a CREC vapor–liquid (VL_ Cell operated with octane–water mixtures under dynamic conditions and used to establish the two-phase (liquid–vapor) and three phase (liquid–liquid–vapor) domains. Results obtained demonstrate that the two phase region (full solubility in the liquid phase) of n-octane in water at 100 °C is in the 10-4 mol fraction range, and it is larger than the 10-5 mol fraction predicted by Aspen Plus and the 10-7 mol fraction reported in the technical literature. Furthermore, and to provide an effective and accurate method for predicting the number of phases, a machine learning (ML) technique was implemented and successfully demonstrated, in the present study.

The liquid phase experiment is finished ,and the relation curve of input- pressure and input-flow、output-flow、distributary rate are worked out.We are bout to calculate the production capacity and define the best distribution rate of the operation parameters.At the same time , the solid-liquid phase separating experiment are made too and we conclude the relation curve of input-pressure and consistency 、separating efficiency .Comparing with the numerical simulation ,the result is reasonable.

During the course of expansion of steam in turbines the fluid first supercools and then nucleates to become a two-phase mixture. The liquid phase consists of a large number of extremely small droplets which are difficult to generate except by nucleation. To reproduce turbine two-phase flow conditions requires a supply of supercooled vapour which can be achieved under blow-down conditions by the equipment employed. This paper is the third of a set describing an investigation into the performance of a cascade of rotor tip section profiles in wet steam and presents the results of the wake traverses.
