Gravimetric measurement of adsorption from binary gas mixtures

A precise experimental method for studying binary vapor-liquid equilibrium is to measure total pressure (P) as a function of the mole fraction in the liquid phase (2). The mole fraction in the vapor (y) is calculated from imthermal P-x experimental data using the Gibbs-Duhem equation. A similar procedure for adsorption is to measure total mass (m) of gas adsorbed as a function of the mole fract...

Solution of Wave Equations Near Seawalls by Finite Element Method

A 2D finite element model for the solution of wave equations is developed. The fluid is considered as incompressible and irrotational. This is a difficult mathematical problem to solve numerically as well as analytically because the condition of the dynamic boundary (Bernoulli’s equation) on the free surface is not fixed and varies with time. The finite element technique is applied to solve non...

A ug 1 99 9 Critical adsorption near edges

Symmetry breaking surface fields give rise to nontrivial and long-ranged order parameter profiles for critical systems such as fluids, alloys or magnets confined to wedges. We discuss the properties of the corresponding universal scaling functions of the order parameter profile and the two-point correlation function and determine the critical exponents η and η ⊥ for the so-called normal transit...

Near infrared spectrometry for faecal fat measurement: comparison with conventional gravimetric and titrimetric methods.

This investigation was aimed at comparing a new method for measuring faecal fat excretion, carried out with a semi-automated instrument by using near infrared analysis (NIRA), with the traditional titrimetric (Van de Kamer) and gravimetric (Sobel) methods. Near infrared analysis faecal fat was assayed on the three day stool collection from 118 patients (68 chronic pancreatitis, 19 organic disea...
