Aligned magnetic effects through varying permeable bed

The aligned magnetic effects on a steady laminar, viscous, incompressible, conducting fluid down an open inclined channel bounded below by a bed of varying permeability has been studied when the free surface is exposed to atmospheric pressure. Beavers and Joseph slip condition at the interface of the free flow region and the fluid flow in the porous bed and the Darcy’s law in the porous medium have been used. The expressions for velocity, magnetic strength and the mass flow across the cross-section of the channel are obtained.

Determination of slug permeability factor for pressure drop prediction of slug flow pneumatic conveying

Current models for pressure drop prediction of slug flow pneumatic conveying in a horizontal pipeline system assume some type of steady state conditions for prediction,which limits their capability for increased predictive accuracy relative to experimental data.This is partly because of the nature of slug flow pneumatic conveying system,which,as a dynamic system,never becomes stable.By utilising conservation of mass (airflow),a dynamic pressure analysis model is proposed on the basis of the derivative of the upstream pressure behaviour.The rate of air permeation through slug,one of the important factors in the conservation model,is expressed as a function of a slug permeability factor.Other factors such as slug velocity,slug length and the fraction of stationary layer were also considered.Several test materials were conveyed in single-slug tests to verify the proposed pressure drop model,showing good agreement between the model and experimental results.     

A New Technique to Determine Horizontal and Vertical Permeabilities from the Time-Delayed Response of a Vertical Interference Test

To determine the permeabilities from a vertical interference test, earlier investigators proposed correlations or type curves based on point source solutions or partially penetrated well solutions. However, it is impossible for these correlations or type curves to cover all possible scenarios in the real world. In more recent years, people use regression analysis to simultaneously match the pressure responses at the source interval and the observation point. With regression analysis, we face the problem of non-unique solutions. Sometimes, estimated permeability could be outside a reasonable range when analyzing noisy data from real tests. In this paper, a new technique is presented to estimate horizontal and vertical permeabilities from the time-delayed response in a wireline vertical interference test. In a vertical test, a pressure drawdown test period is followed by a pressure buildup test period. Because of the delay in response, the pressure at the observation probe continues to drop for some time while the pressure at the source interval is being built up. The maximum pressure drop at the observation probe with regard to the maximum pressure drop in the source interval is time-delayed. Using this time delay and the maximum pressure drop at the observation probe, vertical and horizontal permeabilities can be estimated. A novel numerical scheme is used. The new technique is compared with the previous methods, and it shows its superiority in accuracy. In addition, it can be used in different test configurations. Application issues in real testing conditions are discussed. Finally, two field tests are analyzed using this technique, while an earlier effort to analyze the tests using a conventional method was not successful due to poor data quality.     

Permeability control in electro‐sensitive microcapsules with immobilized ferroelectric liquid crystalline segments

Nylon‐polystyrene microcapsules with immobilized ferroelectric liquid crystalline segments were prepared, and permeability control of an encapsulated core material was investigated under an external electric field. A ferroelectric liquid crystal monomer possessing both mesogenicity and chirality responded effectively to the external electrical field. Permeation of the material (oxprenolol) contained in the inner aqueous core of the microcapsules was enhanced under a weak electric field (2 V). Furthermore, the permeability of oxprenolol did not depend on the external electric field in the absence of the ferroelectric liquid crystal segments. To clarify the controlled‐release mechanism of the core material, the light transmittance of the polymer membranes was quantitatively evaluated under an external electric field using a handmade polarized light transmittance apparatus. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Correlation Between Structure and Transport Properties of Polymeric Membranes for Immunoisolation

Laboratory-made asymmetric polyurethane membranes designed for immunoisolation were investigated. Two types of EK and ES membranes were prepared in different spinning conditions. The membrane structure was characterised by the skin pore radius measurements using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Diffusive transport properties of membranes were determined by in vitro method for albumin and creatinine. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was applied to study the morphology of membranes. It has been found that the DSC technique is a useful tool for the evaluation of pore radii in the skin layer for PU membranes. Calculated pore radii were in the range from 1.95 to 2.47 nm for the EK and ES types. A correlation between the skin pore radii and the transport properties was not found in this case of investigated membranes. However, the transport properties data can serve for the estimation of selectivity of membranes. Thus, the selectivity of membranes for solutes of various molecular size was estimated from the D _m/D _w ratio of diffusion coefficients for albumin and creatinine. The SEM micrographs reveal the finger-like internal structure of capillary membranes, as well as various skin thickness. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
