Book Liquids Under Negative Pressure

Download or read book Liquids Under Negative Pressure written by A.R. Imre and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is possible to "stretch" a liquid and, when suitably prepared, liquids are capable of sustaining substantial levels of tension, often for significant periods of time. These negative pressure states are metastable but can last for days - long enough for substantial experimental investigation. This volume is a review of recent and current research into the behaviour of liquids under negative pressure. Part I deals with the thermodynamics of stretched liquids. Part II discusses the physical and chemical behaviour of liquids under negative pressure. Part III contains papers on the effect of negative pressure on the solidification of a liquid. Part IV is devoted to stretched helium and Part V discusses cavitation in various stretched liquids. Part VI deals with the effect of foreign substances on cavitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metastable Liquids provides a comprehensive treatment of the properties of liquids under conditions where the stable state is a vapor, a solid, or a liquid mixture of different composition. It examines the fundamental principles that govern the equilibrium properties, stability, relaxation mechanisms, and relaxation rates of metastable liquids. Building on the interplay of kinetics and thermodynamics that determines the thermophysical properties and structural relaxation of metastable liquids, it offers an in-depth treatment of thermodynamic stability theory, the statistical mechanics of metastability, nucleation, spinodal decomposition, supercooled liquids, and the glass transition. Both traditional topics--such as stability theory--and modern developments--including modern theories of nucleation and the properties of supercooled and glassy water--are treated in detail. An introductory chapter illustrates, with numerous examples, the importance and ubiquity of metastable liquids. Examples include the ascent of sap in plants, the strategies adopted by many living organisms to survive prolonged exposure to sub-freezing conditions, the behavior of proteins at low temperatures, metastability in mineral inclusions, ozone depletion, the preservation and storage of labile biochemicals, and the prevention of natural gas clathrate hydrate formation. All mathematical symbols are defined in the text and key equations are clearly explained. More complex mathematical explanations are available in the appendixes.

Book Liquid Dielectrics in an Inhomogeneous Pulsed Electric Field

Download or read book Liquid Dielectrics in an Inhomogeneous Pulsed Electric Field written by Mikhail N. Shneider and published by IOP Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by leading experts in the field, the first edition of this textbook was the first of its kind to address numerous potential applications such as the technology of high-voltage insulation in pulsed inhomogeneous fields, and applications related to cavitation development in liquid dielectrics, treatment of different materials and plasma medicine. This second edition addresses the development of the theory over the past few years and features extensive revisions, as well as some expanded chapters. A new inclusion is an explanation of how the critical pressure at which cavitation is initiated is determined according to the surface tension coefficient at the boundary of small nanovoids and microbubbles. Discussion of the quantum mechanical nature of the cavitation inception in liquid helium is also provided, along with the derived values of critical negative pressure for the appearance of cavitation, and its characteristics at low temperatures.

Book Plant Mimetic Generation Of Negative Pressure In Water

Download or read book Plant Mimetic Generation Of Negative Pressure In Water written by I-Tzu Chen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the pressure of a liquid is reduced below its saturation pressure, instead of forming vapor, the liquid can exist in a metastable state; at pressures below zero, the liquid becomes stretched and is under tension. This metastable liquid will eventually cavitate and return to stable equilibrium with vapor as the pressure falls to the stability limit. The behavior of water under tension and its cavitation limit are relevant to various topics in real life, e.g. the ascent of sap flow in trees. Also, scientists have pursued the use of liquid at negative pressure in technologies, e.g. synthetic 'trees' that allowed for water transportation with large negative pressure gradient ([GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO]21MPa). Fundamentally, a picture of the structure of water's phase diagram remains incomplete. To help elucidate the debate, researchers have used various techniques to place liquid water under tension to measure its properties; however experimental measurements for water stability limits obtained with different techniques show a large scatter. This dissertation reports the design and operation of a plant-mimetic experimental system which enables tests of water stability limits by the metastable vapor-liquid equilibrium method with nanoporous silicon membranes. This system provides a practical platform to place static, bulk volumes of liquid into metastable region that can be studied, manipulated and coupled to existing technologies. Also presented is the design and analysis of superheated loop heat pipes (SHLHPs); the SHLHP captures the main attributes of transpiration in trees. A steady-state model was developed for both conventional LHPs and SHLHPs; our analytical model shows that SHLHPs could exploit negative pressure working fluid to achieve efficient heat transfer over long distance and against large acceleration, and extend the limitations of conventional LHPs imposed by thermodynamic properties of the working fluid. Finally, this dissertation presents the development of SHLHP prototypes. A central challenge in the experimental realization of SHLHPs is the membrane that allows reliable use of liquid in metastable regions. Two-layer silicon membranes were fabricated to from MEMS-based SHLHPs. Also introduced is an experimental system designed to study SHLHP performances, enabling us to demonstrate the use of liquid at negative pressure in heat transfer technologies.
