Critical transition

An elementary reaction represents a process at the molecular level. As such it is proper to speak of the reaction s molecularity. This is the number of solute species that come together to form the critical transition state. [Pg.4]

Using the characteristic parameters shown in the figure, critical transition diameters were calculated. The values obtained were 570 microns for transition from non-inertial to inertial and 1140 microns from inertial to coating, and are seen to be within a factor of 1.5-2 of the experimental data which, in view of the approximate nature of these calculations, is quite remarkable. The constant rate of growth in the non-inertial regime also implies that only growth by nucleation occurred and that coalescence (see Fig. 12) was not prevalent. [Pg.388]

Linear chain termination is not, however, a necessary condition for the critical behavior. Indeed, with mechanisms V and XII, chain termination is quadratic (v v,172), but critical transition does take place because hydroperoxide decomposes into radicals that contribute to chain propagation. As a result, v (v [ROOH])1/2 v, [ROOH]172, and v [ROOH] (see Equation (14.11)) which explains the critical behavior. [Pg.502]

Strain). It is possible that aspartic acid-52 influences the reaction by stabilizing a particular conformation of the enzyme or by some other indirect effect without direct involvement in the critical transition state. [Pg.115]

Figure 5.18 shows the only reliable Nui c data available near the critical Reynolds number (XI). Since the data were taken with a side support, there is some effect on the separation and transition angles. Thus the values of Nuj are probably subject to error (R2, R3) although the trend with Re should be correct. At Re = 0.87 x 10 the Shi variation is similar to that shown at lower Re in Fig. 5.17. At Re = 1.76 x 10 the critical transition has already occurred, with the separation bubble accounting for the minimum in Nuj c at 0 — 110°. The maximum in Nuj at 0 = 125° reflects the increased transfer rate in the attached turbulent boundary layer. The local minimum at 0 = 160° is due to final separation. These angles do not agree exactly with those in Fig. 5.11 because of the crossflow support and the fact that angular diffusion shifts the...

Davies (D3) found that roughened spheres behave rather differently at Re = 9 X 10". Both Cl> and Cl rose steadily with increasing vJU, presumably due to the effect of roughness in displacing the critical transition to lower Re (see Section II). It is therefore possible that rough spheres show negative lift at somewhat lower Re, but this has not been confirmed. [Pg.262]

Clamen and Gauvin (C6) measured for entrained spheres at Re above the turbulence-induced critical transition, and was found to rise for Re > Re, to pass through a maximum which increased with 7r. The point at which again achieves 0.3 may be termed the metacritical Reynolds number, Re, and can be estimated (C7) by ... [Pg.267]

Superconductivity is the sudden and complete disappearance of electrical resistance in a substance when it is cooled below a certain temperature, called the critical transition temperature, Tc. [Pg.4]
