Study on Emulsification Mechanism of Benzene and Water Mixture

With the final objective of developing shock-compression equation and phase-transition mechanism for mixed liquid material under extreme condition, such as high temperature and high pressure, several parameters, for instance, surface tension, stability and granularity distribution in benzene-water-emulsion three-body uniform mixture were measured at normal conditions. Experiments show that mixture liquid belongs to an unstable thermodynamic system. Surface tension is between that of benzene and water, and is not equal to their mean, which agrees with those references. The suitable circumstance temperature for preparation, storage and employing of the emulsified mixture is under 53 ℃. Moreover, the granularity distribution of the mixture liquid is narrowed after treatment by ult rasonic wave pulverizer, but it saverage diameter nearly unchanged. To solve the quantificational problem of liquid mixture in the initial state of the samples for detonation experiment, especially for multiple element solution which are difficult to dissolve reciprocally, the experiment results presented here provide some reliable data and the conclusions are valuable for preparing analogous experiment.
