With the Two-film theory of Lewis and Whiteman (1923/24) [327, 594] two conditions are postulated for this transfer process  

Either side of the phase boundary two stationary laminar fluid layers (films) are formed with thicknesses (5g and dt, through which the gas can only pass by diffusion. 

At the interface a thermodynamic equilibrium immediately arises. This means, that in the phase boundary the equilibrium concentration i.e. the saturation concentration c = Cg = f (i, T, p) applies.

It is clear that tire rate of growdr of a reaction product depends upon two principal characteristics. The first of these is the thermodynamic properties of the phases which are involved in the reaction since these determine the driving force for the reaction. The second is the transport properties such as atomic and electron diffusion, as well as thermal conduction, all of which determine the mobilities of particles during the reaction within the product phase. 

A rather different picture emerges with membranes that use an electric field. With charged or chargeable species it is the electrochemical potential, fii which determines the driving force ... 

The contribution of transport under the influence of the electric field (migration), which, if appreciable, should be subtracted from the total mass flux. The use of excess inert (supporting) electrolyte is recommended to suppress migration effects. However, it should be remembered that this changes the composition of the electrolyte solution at the electrode surface. This is particularly critical in the interpretation of free-convection results, where the interfacial concentration of the inert as well as the reacting ions determines the driving force for fluid motion. 

The original seven variables in this problem can now be replaced by an equivalent set of four dimensionless groups of variables. For example, if it is desired to determine the driving force required to transport a given fluid at a given rate through a given pipe, the relation could be represented as... 

We have seen how to determine the driving force (e.g., pumping requirement) for a given pipe size and specified flow as well as how to determine the proper pipe size for a given driving force (e.g., pump head) and specified flow. However, when we install a pipeline or piping system we are usually free to select both the best pipe and the best pump. The term best in this case refers to that combination of pipe and pump that will minimize the total system cost. 

The majority of reported studies of formation of cyclodextrin inclusion complexes in solution have been mainly concerned with determination of the stability constants by using equilibrium spectroscopic techniques, and the measurement of the enthalpy and entropy changes characterizing the complexation reaction. The aim of much of this work has been to determine the driving force of complex-formation. Despite the amount of research in this area, however, no general agreement has been reached, and... 

The final diameter of a pure water void for different initial relative humidities of the resin is shown in Figure 6.8. The marked increase in the final void size illustrates the pronounced effect that initial relative humidity exposure has on the final void size. This behavior is described by Equation 6.28 in which CTO (which is fixed during the cure cycle and determines the driving force) increases with the square of the initial relative humidity exposure. Thus, increasing the initial relative humidity by a factor of 2 would result in a four-fold increase in C oo. This would in turn increase the driving force 4-fold when the other conditions of growth are kept identical and when Csat [Pg.197]

The driving force for the mass transfer of the solute in the three-phase system can be determined with the solvent/water partition coefficient, just as the partition coefficient for gas/liquid phases, the Henry s Law constant, is used to determine the driving force for the mass transfer of ozone. A solute tends to diffuse from phase to phase until equilibrium is reached between all three phases. This tendency of a solute to partition between water and solvent can be estimated by the hydrophobicity of the solute. The octanol/water partition coefficient Kow is a commonly measured parameter and can be used if the hydrophobicity of the solvent is comparable to that of octanol. How fast the diffusion or transfer will occur depends not only on the mass transfer coefficient in addition to the driving force but also on the rate of the chemical reaction as well. 

Any potential that accounts for the storage of energy due to the addition of a component determines the driving force for the diffusion of that component. The... 

Equilibrium partitioning and mass transfer relationships that control the fate of HOPs in CRM and in different phases in the environment were presented in this chapter. Partitioning relationships were derived from thermodynamic principles for air, liquid, and solid phases, and they were used to determine the driving force for mass transfer. Diffusion coefficients were examined and those in water were much greater than those in air. Mass transfer relationships were developed for both transport within phases, and transport between phases. Several analytical solutions for mass transfer were examined and applied to relevant problems using calculated diffusion coefficients or mass transfer rate constants obtained from the literature. The equations and approaches used in this chapter can be used to evaluate partitioning and transport of HOP in CRM and the environment. 

More precisely the change in strain on bond dissociation Ds determines the driving force. This has been expressed by the concept of front strain later see e.g. Slutsky, J., Bingham, R. C., von R. Schleyer, P., Dickerson, W. C., Brown, H. C. J. Am. Chem. Sox. 96, 1969 (1974) and references therein... 

The quantity of primary interest in our thermodynamic construction is the partial molar Gihhs free energy or chemical potential of the solute in solution. This chemical potential depends on the solution conditions the temperature, pressure, and solution composition. A standard thermodynamic analysis of equilibrium concludes that the chemical potential in a local region of a system is independent of spatial position. The ideal and excess contributions to the chemical potential determine the driving forces for chemical equilibrium, solute partitioning, and conformational equilibrium. This section introduces results that will be the object of the following portions of the chapter, and gives an initial discussion of those expected results. 

The reduction potential is central for the function of electron-transfer proteins, since it determines the driving force of the reaction. In particular, it must be poised between the reduction potentials of the donor and acceptor species. Therefore, electron-transfer proteins normally have to modulate the reduction potential of the redox-active group. This is very evident for the blue copper proteins, which show reduction potentials ranging from 184 mV for stellacyanin to 1000 mV for the type 1 copper site in domain 2 of ceruloplasmin [1,110,111]. 

To determine the driving force of the ozone at equilibrium which will liberate the free halogen at a given hydrogen ion concentration, the following equation must be examined. 

In my opinion the contribution due to various H(f>I effects and in particular the HcpI interaction at a distance of about 4.5 A should prove to be the most important factors in determining the driving forces for biochemical process, including protein solubility, protein-protein binding and protein binding to DNA. This... 

Choosing the waveform parameters is the most important step when preparing the experiment. The starting and reversal potentials determine the driving force for electron transfer and the oxidation state of the species involved. Appropriate choice of the potentials will... 

A main objective in developing the boundary layer solution is to determine the bending moment at the edge of the bulge, which is needed to determine the driving force for further delamination of the film. The bending moment is determined from the solution to be...
