Variable densities

Step 1 To solve a Stokes flow problem by this program the inertia term in the elemental stiffness matrix should be eliminated. Multiplication of the density variable by zero enforces this conversion (this variable is identified in the program listing). 

The units on A are mol/(m s). This is the convective flux. The student of mass transfer will recognize that a diffusion term like —3>Adaldz is usually included in the flux. This term is the diffusive flux and is zero for piston flow. The design equation for the variable-density, variable-cross-section PFR can be written as...

The effective potential has a form similar to that for the time-independent case with the density argument replaced by the TD density variable. Also some of the functionals may be current density dependent.

In Equation 6.19, which can be called TD Kohn-Sham-type equation, the effective scalar and vector potentials vcff(r, f) and Aeff(r, t), respectively, consist of contributions from the external potentials augmented by internal contributions determined by the density variables and can be expressed as... 

From the discussion so far, it is clear that the mapping to a system of noninteracting particles under the action of suitable effective potentials provides an efficient means for the calculation of the density and current density variables of the actual system of interacting electrons. The question that often arises is whether there are effective ways to obtain other properties of the interacting system from the calculation of the noninteracting model system. Examples of such properties are the one-particle reduced density matrix, response functions, etc. An excellent overview of response theory within TDDFT has been provided by Casida [15] and also more recently by van Leeuwen [17]. A recent formulation of density matrix-based TD density functional response theory has been provided by Furche [22].

A simple modification of the IAM model, referred to as the K-formalism, makes it possible to allow for charge transfer between atoms. By separating the scattering of the valence electrons from that of the inner shells, it becomes possible to adjust the population and radial dependence of the valence shell. In practice, two charge-density variables, P , the valence shell population parameter, and k, a parameter which allows expansion and contraction of the valence shell, are added to the conventional parameters of structure analysis (Coppens et al. 1979). For consistency, Pv and k must be introduced simultaneously, as a change in the number of electrons affects the electron-electron repulsions, and therefore the radial dependence of the electron distribution (Coulson 1961). 

Here V(m ) is the probability distribution for the generalized mean size in the first phase, taken over partitions with fixed and N with equal a priori probabilities. Note that given m, irP is fixed in the second phase by the moment equivalent of particle conservation iV W1) + N mPl = Nm(° The integral in (17) can be replaced by the maximum of the integrand in the thermodynamic limit, because In V(m ) is an extensive quantity. Introducing a Lagrange multiplier pm for the above moment constraint then shows that the quantity pm has the same status as the density p = p0 itself Both are thermodynamic density variables. This reinforces the discussion in the introduction, where we showed that moment densities can be regarded as densities of quasi-species of particles. 

The critical point condition is obtained similarly. For a single density variable, Eq. (56) reduces to... 

Statistical mechanics was originally formulated to describe the properties of systems of identical particles such as atoms or small molecules. However, many materials of industrial and commercial importance do not fit neatly into this framework. For example, the particles in a colloidal suspension are never strictly identical to one another, but have a range of radii (and possibly surface charges, shapes, etc.). This dependence of the particle properties on one or more continuous parameters is known as polydispersity. One can regard a polydisperse fluid as a mixture of an infinite number of distinct particle species. If we label each species according to the value of its polydisperse attribute, a, the state of a polydisperse system entails specification of a density distribution p(a), rather than a finite number of density variables. It is usual to identify two distinct types of polydispersity variable and fixed. Variable polydispersity pertains to systems such as ionic micelles or oil-water emulsions, where the degree of polydispersity (as measured by the form of p(a)) can change under the influence of external factors. A more common situation is fixed polydispersity, appropriate for the description of systems such as colloidal dispersions, liquid crystals, and polymers. Here the form of p(cr) is determined by the synthesis of the fluid. 

The phase diagrams of aqueous surfactant systems provide information on the physical science of these systems which is both useful industrially and interesting academically (1). Phase information is thermodynamic in nature. It describes the range of system variables (composition, temperature, and pressure) wherein smooth variations occur in the thermodynamic density variables (enthalpy, free energy, etc.), for macroscopic systems at equilibrium. The boundaries in phase diagrams signify the loci of system variables where discontinuities in these thermodynamic variables exist (2).

We end this subsection by summarizing the governing equations valid for incompressible flows, since this model formulation is often used in engineering research. For incompressible flows the fluid properties (e.g., p, pfl) are constants so the density variable is conveniently denoted by pk and simply moved outside the averaging over-lined bracket. 

We can make these statements more quantitative by defining the dynamical density variable (see Section 1.2.1) according to... 

The above examples involve only intensive (not a function of process volume, such as density) variables. The analysis can be expanded to include extensive (total flowrate, total heat load, for example) variables. 

A more accurate procedure is to set a variable to a constant value. This is impossible with a composition because it is a density and is usually different in each of the coexisting phases. The phase rule determines the number of independent variables a system needs to be represented but does not introduce any restriction on the choice of the independent variables. It is accordingly much better, whenever possible, to fix a field variable to reduce a system of one dimension. Instead of using concentrations (density variables), a representation as a function of the chemical potentials is easier to read and is more accurate. The problem is that, in practice, it is very complicated to work at defined chemical potentials. 

The next task is to derive an alternative form, more useful in practice, of the fundamental variational equations of Section 4.2.1. The basic idea is to represent the elementary density variables of RDFT in terms of auxiliary single-particle four spinors... 

The MOTIF code is a three-dimensional finite-element code capable of simulating steady state or transient coupled/uncoupled variable-density, variable- saturation fluid flow, heat transport, and conservative or nonspecies radionuclide) transport in deformable fractured/ porous media. In the code, the porous medium component is represented by hexahedral elements, triangular prism elements, tetrahedral elements, quadrilateral planar elements, and lineal elements. Discrete fractures are represented by biplanar quadrilateral elements (for the equilibrium equation), and monoplanar quadrilateral elements (for flow and transport equations). 

In this molar formulation, all the variables are intensive but they are all generalized densities in the sense that, like the density itself, the values differ in two coexisting phases. Unlike these density variables, a potential or field variable e.g. T, p, J) must have the same value in every phase at equilibrium. Equation (2) can be transformed into the generalized Gibbs-Duhem equation in which the independent variables are fields ...
