Here, x is the coordinate normal to the diaphragm, so that d — q—p. The liquid junction potential A0L is the diffusion potential difference between solutions 2 and 1. The liquid junction potential can be calculated for more complex systems than that leading to Eq. (2.5.31) by several methods. A general calculation of the integral in Eq. (2.5.30) is not possible and thus assumptions must be made for the dependence of the ion concentration on x in the liquid junction. The approximate calculation of L. J. Henderson is...

The problem is treated as a two-dimensional one, with x-coordinate parallel to the surface and z-coordinate normal to the surface, with the z-axis negative into the solid. Since 3/3y and uy both vanish, the only non-zero component of the vector potential is fy. Suppose that there is a solution whose longitudinal and shear components each decay exponentially away from the surface, and that these are described by the scalar and vector potentials respectively. Then the potentials may be written... 

The functions of Cartesian coordinates normally included in character tables are those associated with the d orbital wave functions, namely z x2 + y2, x2 - y2, xy, xz, and yz. Since we already know how each of the individual coordinates behaves, it is simple to work out the results for these combinations. To illustrate let us take x2 - y2 ... 

The quantity, h, in Equation 5 is not likely to be greatly different from its value in a plane adiabatic combustion wave. Taking x as the coordinate normal to such wave, h becomes the integral of the excess enthalpy per unit volume along the x-axis, so that the differential quotient, dh/dx, represents the excess enthalpy per unit volume in any layer, dx. Assuming the layer to be fixed with respect to a reference point on the x-axis, the mass flow passes through the layer in the direction from the unbumed, w, to the burned, 6, side at a velocity, S, transporting enthalpy at the rate Sdh/dx. Because the wave is in the steady state, heat flows by conduction at the same rate in the opposite direction, so that...

Figure 2.1 Density of a liquid versus the coordinate normal to its surface (a) is a schematic plot (b) results from molecular dynamics simulations of a n-tridecane (C13H28) at 27°C adapted from Ref. [11]. Tridecane is practically not volatile. For this reason the density in the vapor phase is negligible.

For the simple case of a planar, infinitely extended planar surface, the potential cannot change in the y and z direction because of the symmetry and so the differential coefficients with respect to y and z must be zero. We are left with the Poisson-Boltzmann equation which contains only the coordinate normal to the plane x ... 

It follows from Equation 6.12 that the current depends on the surface concentrations of O and R, i.e. on the potential of the working electrode, but the current is, for obvious reasons, also dependent on the transport of O and R to and from the electrode surface. It is intuitively understood that the transport of a substrate to the electrode surface, and of intermediates and products away from the electrode surface, has to be effective in order to achieve a high rate of conversion. In this sense, an electrochemical reaction is similar to any other chemical surface process. In a typical laboratory electrolysis cell, the necessary transport is accomplished by magnetic stirring. How exactly the fluid flow achieved by stirring and the diffusion in and out of the stationary layer close to the electrode surface may be described in mathematical terms is usually of no concern the mass transport just has to be effective. The situation is quite different when an electrochemical method is to be used for kinetics and mechanism studies. Kinetics and mechanism studies are, as a rule, based on the comparison of experimental results with theoretical predictions based on a given set of rate laws and, for this reason, it is of the utmost importance that the mass transport is well defined and calculable. Since the intention here is simply to introduce the different contributions to mass transport in electrochemistry, rather than to present a full mathematical account of the transport phenomena met in various electrochemical methods, we shall consider transport in only one dimension, the x-coordinate, normal to a planar electrode surface (see also Chapter 5). 

Multilevel prognostic models may be divided into two groups with respect to the mode of consideration of the vertical coordinate. One group uses the traditional Cartesian vertical coordinate with horizontal levels the other considers a vertical coordinate normalized with respect to the sea depth at the site (the so-called a-coordinate). Let us start the discussion of the results with the first group of models, because they prevail in the studies of the BSGC.
