Diffusion continued

Another example is the siliciditing of tantalum, basically an oxidation— reduction reaction. The packing is sodium duoride and siUcon. After deposition, the coating diffuses continuously into the substrate, according to the following reactions ... 

Water proton self-diffusion exhibits a break point and begins to increase at a = 0.85. In the case of AOT self-diffusion, a breakpoint also occurs, but AOT self-diffusion continues to slow as a decreases further. These breakpoints in both water and AOT selfdiffusion behavior at a = 0.85 coincide with the breakpoint in electrical conductivity illustrated in Fig. 1, where the onset of electrical conductivity percolation occurs. At a = 0.7 two more breakpoints in the water proton and AOT self-diffusion are seen. Water proton self-diffusion increases more markedly and AOT self-diffusion beings to increase markedly. 

As an alternative to film models, McNamara and Amidon [6] included convection, or mass transfer via fluid flow, into the general solid dissolution and reaction modeling scheme. The idea was to recognize that diffusion was not the only process by which mass could be transferred from the solid surface through the boundary layer [7], McNamara and Amidon constructed a set of steady-state convective diffusion continuity equations such as...

Coronene uptake decreases, then appears to line out with increasing coke Jevel, while diffusivity continues to decline (Table 1), These data, converted to a relative basis (value divided by expected value for fresh catalyst), are shown in Fig. 3A, where the differences in trends with coke content are evident. 

Sample 310 also appears to exhibit this same phenomenon. Samples with lower Z styrene content do not exhibit this affect. This affect may be due to an initial PS crosslinking (10) followed by chain degradation as ozone diffusion continues. XPS studies of these block systems (20) imply that there may be preferential migration of the PS blocks to the surface under these specimen preparation conditions. 

However, also completely unoriented specimens of membrane preparations give a diffraction pattern, in this case a diffuse, continuous one, which allows important structural conclusions. Wilkins et al. have first identified this pattern with scattering... 

If the DDL contained only those cations necessary to neutralize the colloid charge, the anion concentration would be zero within the DDL. Because diffusion continually drives anions toward the colloid surface, however, the total negative charge within the DDL is that of the anions plus the colloid s charge. Cations within the DDL must neutralize both sources of negative charge. The cations that neutralize...

As time goes on, the action of radial diffusion continues to inhibit axial dispersion by diffusion and convection and makes the mixed zone more uniform, as shown at time tj. Finally, at still larger times a quasi equilibrium is established. Here, convection, radial diffusion, and axial diffusion all contribute to the dispersion, with the net effect appearing as if the fluid were in plug flow, whereas in fact the velocity is radially distributed. With a further increase in time, the effect is only to increase the length of the mixed zone. 

The diffusion coefficient under free-diffusion conditions can be measured by analysis at the termination of the experiment or by continuous or intermittent analysis while diffusion continues. Care has to be taken not to disturb the system, and the most widely employed methods for measuring diffusion coefficients in liquids are interferometric, resulting from the original work of Gouy in the 19th century.
