In addition, for the addition of a given volume of particles, the solid-liquid surface contact area between nano-scale particles and the suspension fluid is greater than that for micro-scale particles.
The addition of xanthan gum polymer to the surfactant solution was shown to increase remediation efficiency as a lower volume of surfactant was required for recovering a given volume of NAPL.
In this research work, an attempt is made to validate a characterisation method which is simple and can be used for any given volume of disposable bioreactors larger than 2 L.
The variation in the predicted properties for a given volume fraction of any of the four cases studied is less than 1%, which indicates the efficacy of the algorithm developed for RVE generations in repetitiveness of predicted effective properties.
The Eshelby Mori–Tanaka theory is used to describe the macroscopic mechanical response of the nanocomposite for a given volume fraction of the different phases (i.e., perfectly bonded and fully debonded CNTs).
