Integral curvature

If the enthalpy of vaporization is assumed to be independent of the curvature, integration of eq. (6.54) from a flat surface (r = oo) yields (T constant)... 

Gauss-Bonnet Theorem. For an orientable dosed smooth surface Sin E, the total Gaussian curvature integrated over S is a topological invariant... 

That is, for the surfaces S around the outside of a basketball, or of an (American) football, or of a discus, the total Gaussian curvature integrated over all of S has the same value 4n, whereas for the surfaces around a doughnut or around a coffee mug, the result is another characteristic value 0. 

We shall later see that M is the mean curvature integrated over the whole surface of the convex body. 

CCI4, sulfur hexafluoride, SFg, and benzene, CgHg, are given in Table IV. The parallel body with the thickness a represents the shape and size of each molecule as shown in Fig. 3. Its surface area A+a and mean-curvature integral are also given in... 

Implicit in all these solutions is the fact that, when two spherical indentors are made to approach one another, the resulting deformed surface is also spherical and is intermediate in curvature between the shape of the two surfaces. Hertz [27] recognized this concept and used it in the development of his theory, yet the concept is a natural consequence of the superposition method based on Boussinesq and Cerutti s formalisms for integration of points loads. A corollary to this concept is that the displacements are additive so that the compliances can be added for materials of differing elastic properties producing the following expressions common to many solutions... 

It has often been observed that the plot of ln(L) versus L results in curvature rendering the method of determining the growth rate from the slope strictly inappropriate, but ways to accommodate such deviations have also been proposed. Thus, if G = G(L) integration of equation 3.15 leads to the following expression for determining crystal growth rates (Sikdar, 1977)...

Capillary phenomena are due to the curvature of liquid surfaces. To maintain a curved surface, a force is needed. In Eq. (8), this force is related to the second term in the integral. The so-called Laplace pressure due to the force to maintain the curved surface can be expressed as, Pl = 2-yIr, where r is the curvature radius. The combination of the capillary effects and disjoining pressure can make a liquid film climb a wall. 

An impression of the activity of the different catalysts is given in figure 1. The activity order Cu>Co>Fe corresponds with literature [4]. The N2O pressure dependency for Co-ZSM-5 is given in figure 2. Due to the integral reactor behaviour the relation between conversion and partial pressure shows a curvature, but the reaction order equals 1 for Co, and slightly lower... 

This curvature field is always positive and has no singularity for continuous differentiable fields and stream lines can be constructed by integrating Eq. (3.3), starting from any set of freely chosen points in the simulation box. 

In the case of the Porod-Kratky model, the polymer backbones have a constant curvature c0. Accounting for the polymer stiffness in generating the dense configuration of stream lines, the vector field used must have a homogeneous curvature field with a unique value cq in the entire simulation box T. In order to quantify the success in creating such a vector field, the deviation of the curvature from the ideal Porod-Kratky case, a volume integral has been used by Santos as a penalty function ... 

Fig. 3.4. Four stream lines and their projection onto the xy, yz and xz planes, respectively, constructed by integration for a vector field of curvature c0 = 10 in a box of unit edge length...

Since the integral method described above is based on the premise that some rate function exists that will lead to a value of i/ Cj) that is linear in time, deviations from linearity (or curvature) indicate that further evaluation or interpretation of the rate data is necessary. Many mathematical functions are roughly linear over sufficiently small ranges of variables. In order to provide a challenging test of the linearity of the data, one should perform at least one experimental run in which data are... 

On the other hand, the total integral from the Gaussian curvature can be expressed by using the Gauss theorem ... 

The integral from the mean curvature H over the surface region S, can be... 

The Euler characteristic, %, of a closed surface is related to the local Gaussian curvature K r) via the Gauss-Bonnet theorem [Eq. (8)]. A number of different schemes have been proposed to calculate the local curvatures and the integral in Eq. (8). 

The simplest way to calculate the Euler characteristic is to disregard the surface integral in Eq. (8) and calculate the average Gaussian curvature (K)...
