Direction of separation and dependence of feed concentration in liquid thermogravitational columns
Abstract The direction of separation in a thermogravitational column was studied for 12 binary mixtures with the following components: Benzene, toluene, n-hexane, n-heptane, cyclohexane, carbon tetrachloride, tetrabromoethane, and tetrachloroethane. The separation sign is governed by the density of the components. A study was also made of the effect of feed concentration on the separation value. The shape of the curve relating separation and charge concentration was found to depend strongly on “molecular mobility” and molecular structure.
Abstract : The report contains a brief analysis of the following items: (a) Two-dimensional steady flow (variational method), (b) One-dimensional unsteady flow (variational method), (c) Plasma with finite conductivity (exact solutions), (d) Approximate solutions and linearized equations, (e) New numerical methods, (f) Low conductivity plasma, (g) Applications, (h) Plasma acceleration and MHD power generation. A detailed discussion of future plans is given. (Author)
