The pulsation diffusion method is used successfully for the determination of diffusion coefficients in different systems (selfdiffusion, binary and ternary mixtures) and in connection with diffusion separation in liquids. The main advantage is the enhancement of matter transport by periodic flow e. g. in a capillary. Adapting a computation by P. L. Kapiza it is reported on a general treatment for the special conditions in a pulsation diffusion apparatus. Transport behavior depends strongly on hydrodynamic and mass transfer parameters. The results are important for the application of the pulsation method for measuring diffusion coefficients and for separation problems.

Thermodiffusion or Soret effect is a heat and mass transfer phenomenon in a non-isothermal liquid and gas mixtures. This phenomenon is more pronounced in oil fields, usually due to the porous environment. A precise and better understanding of the thermodiffusion phenomena in multi-component mixtures results in a more accurate modeling of oil reservoirs. Accordingly, the main objective of this study is to investigate the thermodiffusion phenomenon in the multicomponent mixtures. In order to achieve this objective, two series of thermodiffusion experiments conducted on board the International Space Station (ISS) using the SODI (Selectable Optical Diagnostics Instrument) facility were analyzed. The first series of experiments aimed to study the effects of the forced vibration on the Soret phenomena. The experimental mixture was water and isopropanol with different compositions subjected to various temperature gradients normal to the vibrations. Results revealed maximum separation for the case with the minimum vibration and the lower temperature gradient; however, a linear relationship between Gershuni number and maximum separation was not found. On the other hand, the second series of experiment was aimed to the measurement of the diffusion coefficients of selected ternary mixtures. Mixtures of tetrahydronaphthalene-isobutylbenzene-dodecane at five different compositions were hosted in the DSC (Diffusion and Soret Coefficient) cell array. Thus, the Soret diffusion coefficients and the molecular diffusion coefficients of the mentioned hydrocarbon mixture at five different compositions have been reported. To process the results of these experiments an advance image processing technique was developed and implemented in an application with GUI (Graphical User Interface) for the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). Then, the application of the windowed Fourier transformation (WFT) to analyze the heat and mass transfer problem using the MZI setup is proposed. Results show that the WFT noticeably improves the measurement of concentration. This improvement is more evident for the ternary. It was shown that about 10% underestimation of the Soret coefficient would be resulted; if an accurate determination of the thermal time for the MZI is not used. The reliability and the repeatability of the MZI apparatus on board ISS to study thermodiffusion for binary and ternary mixtures were shown.

Recently, Guevara-Carrion et al. published a comprehensive molecular dynamics (MD) study on the thermodynamic properties of binary mixtures containing methanol, ethanol, acetone, benzene, cyclohexane, toluene, and carbon tetrachloride which also includes results on self-diffusion coefficients. However, for the mixtures acetone/cyclohexane, acetone/ethanol, acetone/toluene, cyclohexane/ethanol, and toluene/ethanol, no experimental data on self-diffusion coefficients were available for comparison. Therefore, in the present work, self-diffusion coefficients in these mixtures were measured by 1H NMR spectroscopy using pulsed field gradients (PFGs) at 298.15 K and ambient pressure. The experimental data were compared to the simulations of Guevara-Carrion et al. Good agreement was observed for all mixtures that do not contain ethanol, whereas, for ethanol-containing mixtures, the deviations were larger. This finding is attributed to deficiencies of the molecular model in describing the hydrogen-bonding of ethanol. Furthermore, self-diffusion data for the ternary mixture acetone/toluene/cyclohexane were measured and compared to molecular simulation data from the present work. Good agreement was observed.

AbstractThe low-temperature synthesis of bricks prepared from high-siliceous clays by the method of plastic molding of blanks was used. For the preparation of brick blanks, binary and ternary mixtures of high-siliceous clays, black sand, and bottle glass cullet were used. Gray-black low-porosity and high-porosity ceramics was obtained by sintering under conditions of oxygen deficiency. It has been established that to initiate plastic in mixtures containing high-siliceous clay, it is necessary to add montmorillonite/bentonite additives, carry out low-temperature sintering, and introduce low-melting glass additives with a melting point ranging from 750 to 800 °C. The performed investigations have shown that the sintering of mixtures with a total content of iron oxide of about 5 wt% under reducing conditions at Tsint. = 800°C for 8 h leads to the formation of glass ceramics consisting of quartz, feldspars, and a phase. The main sources of the appearance of a dark color is the formation of [Fe3+O4]4- and [Fe3+O6]9- anions in the composition of the glass phase and feldspars. By changing the contents of clay, sand, and glass in sintering, it is possible to obtain two types of ceramic materials: (a) in the form of building bricks and (b) in the form of porous fillers.
