Version 1.3 of the NIST Database for SESSA [95, 99, 100] can be used for two main purposes. First, data are provided for the many parameters needed by a user to derive quantitative information from AES and XPS spectra (differential inverse IMFPs, total IMFPs, differential elastic-scattering cross sections, total elastic-scattering cross sections, transport cross sections, photoionization cross... 

The difhision and viscosity cross sections are given by the transport cross sections and respectively.

An aqueous PVA solution containing a small amount of boric acid may be extmded into an aqueous alkaline salt solution to form a gel-like fiber (15,16). In this process, sodium hydroxide penetrates rapidly into the aqueous PVA solution extmded through orifices to make it alkaline, whereby boric acid cross-links PVA molecules with each other. The resulting fiber is provided with sufficient strength to withstand transportation to the next process step and its cross section does not show a distinct skin/core stmcture. 

Isothermal Gas Flow in Pipes and Channels Isothermal compressible flow is often encountered in long transport lines, where there is sufficient heat transfer to maintain constant temperature. Velocities and Mach numbers are usually small, yet compressibihty effects are important when the total pressure drop is a large fraction of the absolute pressure. For an ideal gas with p = pM. JKT, integration of the differential form of the momentum or mechanical energy balance equations, assuming a constant fric tion factor/over a length L of a channel of constant cross section and hydraulic diameter D, yields,... 

Advantages of the drum are protection of contents, ease of reclosure, and appreciable reuse-resale value. A serious limitation is the inefficient use of space because of the cylindrical shape, which results in high storage and transportation costs. To overcome this, a fiber drrtm with a square cross section (Ro-Con drum) and the brtlk corrugated bag in box have been developed. 

At any instant, pressure is uniform throughout a bubble, while in the surrounding emulsion pressure increases with depth below the surfaee. Thus, there is a pressure gradient external to the bubble which causes gas to flow from the emulsion into the bottom of the bubble, and from the top of the bubble back into the emulsion. This flow is about three times the minimum fluidization velocity across the maximum horizontal cross section of the bubble. It provides a major mass transport mechanism between bubble and emulsion and henee contributes greatly to any reactions which take place in a fluid bed. The flow out through the top of the bubble is also sufficient to maintain a stable arch and prevent solids from dumping into the bubble from above. It is thus responsible for the fact that bubbles can exist in fluid beds, even though there is no surface tension as there is in gas-liquid systems. 

The flow behaviour of suspensions of coarse particles is completely different in horizontal and vertical pipes. In horizontal flow, the concentration of particles increases towards the bottom of the pipe, the degree of non-uniformity increasing as the velocity of flow is decreased. In vertical transport, however, axial symmetry is maintained with the solids evenly distributed over the cross-section. The two cases are therefore considered separately. 

Total transport by the surface currents varies greatly and reflects the mean currents and cross-sectional area. Some representative examples will illustrate the scale. The transport around... 

Equation (8.12) is a form of the convective dijfusion equation. More general forms can be found in any good textbook on transport phenomena, but Equation (8.12) is sufficient for many practical situations. It assumes constant diffusivity and constant density. It is written in cylindrical coordinates since we are primarily concerned with reactors that have circular cross sections, but Section 8.4 gives a rectangular-coordinate version applicable to flow between flat plates.
