continuous phase

The viscosity of the continuous phase, in this case water.

Critical exponents describe the behaviour of physical quantities near continuous phase transitions.

It turns out that continuous phase transitions can be characterized by parameters known as critical exponents.

Any digital modulation scheme with a continuous phase can be used to impose the information on a carrier signal.

The most widely used modulation scheme is continuous phase modulation.

Flocculation occurs when the dispersed drops group together throughout the continuous phase, but don't lose their individual identities.

The continuous phase consists of a concentrated, unfrozen liquid of sugars.

Also, there is a greater chance of creaming at lower viscosities of the continuous phase liquid.

Emulsions contain both a dispersed and a continuous phase, with the boundary between the phases called the "interface".

A dispersion is a system in which particles are dispersed in a continuous phase of a different composition (or state).

Aschoff's rule is related to the model of parametric entrainment, which assumes continuous phase changes.

In statistical physics, the Ising model describes a continuous phase transition with scalar order parameter.

Continuous phase transitions are described by the Ginzburg-Landau theory, which works in the so-called mean field approximation.

This is the opposite of a oil-in-water emulsion where water is the continuous phase and oil forms droplets.

The polymer solution serves as the medium or continuous phase of the w/w emulsion.

Landau also developed a mean field theory for continuous phase transitions, which described ordered phases as spontaneous breakdown of symmetry.

For mixtures with overwhelmingly large amounts of one phase, the largest phase will become the continuous phase.

Second-order phase transitions are also called continuous phase transitions.

In an oil-in-water emulsion, oil is the discrete phase, while water is the continuous phase.

In a gel, the solid is the continuous phase; the liquid is the discontinuous phase.

Hence one can see that the order parameter in the liquid film can undergo a continuous phase transition for large enough extrapolation length.

In this process, the dispersed phase is forced through the pores of a microporous membrane directly into the continuous phase.

The phenomena associated with continuous phase transitions are called critical phenomena, due to their association with critical points.

Generally, the phase that preferentially wets the particle will be the continuous phase in the emulsion system.

In most real world cases, the particles are very small and occur in low concentrations, hence the dynamics are governed primarily by the continuous phase.
