This boundary condition is the diffusion analog of Newton s law of cooling in heat conduction theory. A noteworthy conclusion is that a polydisperse self-nucleating sol tends to become monodisperse, i.e., the initial size distribution becomes more peaked as growth progresses. Waite (Wl)... 

Sect. 5.4), the heat transfer process can be modeled using classical unsteady state heat conduction theory [142-144]. From the mathematical solutions to heat conduction problems, a thermal diffusivity can be extracted from measurements of temperatures vs. time at a position inside a gel sample of well-defined geometry. 

It is interesting to compare conductance behavior with that of the shear viscosity, because conventional hydrodynamic conductance theories relate A to the frictional resistance of the surrounding medium. At first glance, one would expect from the Stokes-Einstein equation a critical anomaly of the... 

We focus on the conductance data. In systems of the type considered here, the conductance is primarily determined by the degree of ion pair association a. However, at higher ion densities, substantial mobility effects come into play. In the absence of sufficiently accurate conductance theories for the region of interest, a reliable measure for estimating a. is the conductance-viscosity product Arj which is often denoted as the Walden product. Figure 7 shows isotherms for the Walden product at T Si Tc for Bu4NPic + 1-tridecanol [72] and Bu4NPic + 1-chloroheptane [137] as a function of the... 

The two mass action equilibria previously indicated have been used in conjunction with a modified form of the Shedlovsky conductance function to analyze the data in each of the cases listed in Table I. Where the data were precise enough, both K2 and K were calculated. As mentioned previously, the K s so evaluated are practically the same as those obtained for ion pairing in solutions of electrolytes in ammonia and amines. This is encouraging since it implies a fairly normal behavior (in the electrolyte sense) for dilute solutions of metals. Further support of the proposed mass action equilibria can be found in the conductance measurements of sodium in NH8 solutions with added salt. Bems, Lepoutre, Bockelman, and Patterson (4) assumed an additional equilibrium between sodium and chloride ions, associated to form NaCl, to compute the concentration of ionic species, monomers, and dimers when the common ion electrolyte is added. Calculated concentrations of conducting species are employed in the Onsager-Kim extension of the conductance theory for low-field conductance of a mixture of ions. Values of [Na]totai ranging from 5 X 10 4 to 6 X 10 2 and of the ratio of NaCl to [Na]totai ranging from zero to 28.5 are included in the calculations. 

I shall not elaborate on the triviality of this explanation but only to ask one question to the author who wrote this article (since the referee forgot to ask). If the BCS theory was correct, why then Sc, and Y, metallic elements which all have only one isotope and also have a high N(e)r (electron density of states at the Fermi level), the requirement imposed for a high Tc by the BCS theory, are not superconductors Of course, they can explain somehow. But, in the Covalon conduction theory there is no need for an explanation or no elaborate mathematical equation necessary. It can be easily understood in terms of their atomic orbital. The answer in Covalon conduction theory is simply that both elements are III-A elements in the periodic chart and their atomic orbital are not conducive in forming conjugated covalent bonds, therefore there is no Covalon conduction to lead them to superconductivity. 

It is of interest to note that a definite trend exists in the correlation curve that elements with N=1 possess a higher Tc in general than elements with N=2, which in turn possess a higher Tc than elements with N=3 and so forth as is anticipated from the Covalon conduction theory. Furthermore, through the virtue of such a correlation,... 

The correlation agreement obtained here renders further support to the proposed Covalon conduction theory and leads to a further prediction that for a given element with N > 1, the Tc for that element will become higher if the number N is reduced to N = 1 (isotopically pure) through an isotope separation process. Conversely, if Nb and La with N = 1 are doped with relatively long half-life isotopes, their Tc should go down. These experiments have not been carried out yet by anyone as of this writing. 

Earlier, I criticized the Cooper pair being philosophically unacceptable because the proposed pair is not seen elsewhere outside of the BCS superconductivity theory. The same measurement must be placed against the Covalon-Conduction theory proposed here. We shall show therefore, that a number of physical property changes observed in [TCNQ-TTF] (tetracyano-p-quinodimethane-tetrathiofulvalene), an organic compound, as a function of temperature can be interpreted and understood in terms of Covalon-conduction . 

Recent refinements of conductance theory by Fuoss129,13° plus the indication that certain salts can be moderately associated in other high dielectric constant solvents131 may suggest a need to re-examine the possibility of ion-pair formation for some salts in NMA. 

A further consideration in applying the conductivity theories to a-Si H is the possibility of long range inhomogeneities in the material. The conductivity is a spatial average over the complete conduction path of the carrier, which may be different from the local conductivity at any particular site. The role of inhomogeneities are considered in Section 7.4.5. 

A similar procedure was used by E. Mallard and H. LeChatelier, Ann, mincsj 8, series 4, 174 (1883), and subsequently elaborated on by F. Crussard et al. For an excellent critique of these conductions theories see W. Jost, Explosion and Combustion Processes in Gases, translated by H. O. Croft from 1936 edition, McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., New York, 1946. 

There are some who see this equation as indicative that a whole different approach to conductance theory might be waiting in the wings, as it were. As the concentration increases, the idea of an ionic atmosphere becomes less useful and one might start at the other end, with ideas used to treat molten salts (Chapter 5), but in a diluted form. This would repeat the history of the theory of liquids which, in the early part of this century, was derived from the treatment of very compressed gases but later seemed to be more developable from modifications of how solids are treated.

In sec. 4.6c. This difference Is so small that for most purposes It may be Ignored. For instance, the value of r" is virtually unchanged, so that the thickness of the double layer is hardly affected by the polarization. On the other hand, this concentration difference has to be considered in a.c. studies, requiring the transport of excess salt back and forth around the particle, in electrophoresis and conduction theories and in a number of second-order electroktnetic phenomena like diffiisiophoresis, to which we shall return in sec. 4.9.

In the thermal conduction theory, such a distribution in general is thought to be caused on condition that the rate of heat transfer from the self-heating fluid filled in a container and placed in the atmosphere under isothermal conditions, through the whole fluid surface, across the container walls, to the atmosphere is far less than the rate of thermal conduction in the fluid. In other words, this condition is expressed UKK A, which is equivalent to that the Biol number lakes a small value.
