Why is the capillary number (Ca, Nc) ~1 for a very high velocity of motion?

11 November 2014 1 10K Report

The capillary number as it relates to Sir G.I. Taylor's publications on emulsions, where Ca=F http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/146/858/501

Any simple method to calculate the lattice parameters of a crystal lattice of a known configuration (i.e. orthorhombic) from XRD spectra?

Several of the methods to do this are explained in a rather involved way; could somebody simplify / give us a basic idea of how to use these methods and how they work? P.S. Please don't say...

Is there a way to calculate the variance of a measured sauter diameter?

From the definition of Sauter mean diameter in the below link: http://www.thermopedia.com/content/1108/ Can we assume the variance to be in the following form?: variance = (d_64)^2 - (d_32)^2 OR,...

Is there any analytical expression that can be used to determine the viscosity of a mixture of two or more miscible oils?

If the two oils can be mixed uniformly, will the new viscosity be an average of the two? Will the relation be linear? non-linear?

If I want to make an emulsion, can I mix two surfactants with a similar HLB (i.e. HLB~4 with HLB~1.8)? Will this result in any complications?

Note that these HLB values show greater affinity towards an oil phase relative to an aqueous phase

Suppose there is a propeller inside a stationary cylinder submerged in water. Can you elucidate the velocity profile of the moving propeller?

[See attached figure] There is a significant gap between the propellers and the cylinder (figure 2) and we want to elucidate the velocity profile at this gap and the bottom of the cylinder. Is it...
