Behavior Application of Boltzmann Equation-Based Transport Models

MICROSCALE BEHAVIOR APPLICATION OF BOLTZMANN EQUATION-BASED TRANSPORT MODELS 

The estimation of temperature variations depends rather strongly on the temperature dependence of, the dissociation constant of water, and agreement with measured values is not uniform, hi the case of HCl solutions, the discrepancy is minimal at concentrations below, for example, 0.02 mol dm-3 at = 450 mT, but is not negligible at B= 640 mT. In the case of NaOH solutions, the discrepancy is minimal even at 0.025 mol dm 2 when B = 450 mT. In NaBr solutions, the discrepancy is large even in a 0.005 mol dm- 3 solution. 

Application of the theory to potential differences observed under steady-state conditions, when the direction of the magnetic field is reversed, has quantitatively been more successful. The predicted potential difference is givetf by
