Damping of oscillations

Here, for the sake of convenience of the further calculations, the term P/t is introduced which describes the damping of oscillations (r is the damping time, t > 1/co ). However, the final results of the calculations do not depend... 

The experimental methods for the determination of liquid viscosity are similar to those used for gases ( 8.VII F) (i) transpiration, through capillaries, (ii) torque on rotating cylinders, or the damping of oscillating solid discs or spheres, in the liquid, (iii) fall of solid spheres through the liquid, (iv) flow of liquid through an aperture in a plate, (v) capillary waves. Methods (i) and (ii) are mostly used for absolute, the others for comparative, measurements. 

Macaulay measured the time of flow of a viscous liquid drawn by its own surface tension into the narrow gap between planes along a horizontal capillary, and up a vertical capillary. Menneret, and Subrahmanian and Venkataraman, used the damping of oscillations of a liquid in a U-tube.

Each time a conductance in a nonthermal energy variety appears in a system, dissipation occurs. Among all mechanisms able to provoke dissipation, two basic processes deserve attention because of their fundamental importance. They are the relaxation process and the damping of oscillations. 

The so-called rapid polarography operates with very short drop-times (several milliseconds) produced under mechanical [47] or optical [48] control. This technique permits the application of scan rates up to several hundreds mV per second. The advantage of this technique is evident maxima are suppressed and formation of surface-blocking films is minimized the damping of oscillations is not necessary and the application in flowing and agitated media is possible. These favorable effects are devaluated by the decrease of the faradaic-to-charging current ratio. Therefore, the detection of electroactive substances in solutions below 10 " M is impossible [82].
