Foams

11/15/2007 11:53 AM

I am wondering whether anyone from the CR4 group can direct me to the name, etc. of some classical texbooks on foams. I am not interested in general information, but rather specifics on how to deal with transport phenomena calculations (heat, mass and momentum transfer) in systems containing foaming components.

are you looking for polyurethane foam info? or froth applications like textile finishing applications, insulation value prediction?

if you can please be more specific

maybe i can help

all the best

I am looking for is solutions that are "frothing" rather than perhaps true foams.


I guess an example would be when draining a clothes washer containing soaps water.

if it is water based look up detergency and froth

it is all surface chemistry or surfactant technology

http://www.stepan.com migh be of help if you are looking detergent type formulas

i guess if you have a froth problem -- there are other surfactants that break the surface tension and allow the foam to collapse
