Diffusion kinetic energy

Repulsive electronic tension drives the quantum mechanical electronic diffusion. Kinetic energy density T defines the intrinsic shape of atoms and molecules... [Pg.245]

The Permeation Process Barrier polymers limit movement of substances, hereafter called permeants. The movement can be through the polymer or, ia some cases, merely iato the polymer. The overall movement of permeants through a polymer is called permeation, which is a multistep process. First, the permeant molecule coUides with the polymer. Then, it must adsorb to the polymer surface and dissolve iato the polymer bulk. In the polymer, the permeant "hops" or diffuses randomly as its own thermal kinetic energy keeps it moving from vacancy to vacancy while the polymer chains move. The random diffusion yields a net movement from the side of the barrier polymer that is ia contact with a high concentration or partial pressure of the permeant to the side that is ia contact with a low concentration of permeant. After crossing the barrier polymer, the permeant moves to the polymer surface, desorbs, and moves away. [Pg.486]

The flow in the diffuser is usually assumed to be of a steady nature to obtain the overall geometric configuration of the diffuser. In a channel-type diffuser the viscous shearing forces create a boundary layer with reduced kinetic energy. If the kinetic energy is reduced below a certain limit, the flow in this layer becomes stagnant and then reverses. This flow reversal causes... [Pg.245]

Exit ioss. The exit loss assumes that one-half of the kinetic energy leaving the vaned diffuser is lost. [Pg.254]

If it is considered, in the first instance, that the distribution is energy controlled and not diffusion controlled, a solute molecule will desorb from the stationary phase when it randomly has sufficient kinetic energy to break its association with a molecule of stationary phase, as discussed in chapter 1. Similarly, a molecule will be absorbed under the same conditions. [Pg.252]

HOTM AC/RAPTAD contains individual codes HOTMAC (Higher Order Turbulence Model for Atmospheric Circulation), RAPTAD (Random Particle Transport and Diffusion), and computer modules HOTPLT, RAPLOT, and CONPLT for displaying the results of the ctdculalinns. HOTMAC uses 3-dimensional, time-dependent conservation equations to describe wind, lempcrature, moisture, turbulence length, and turbulent kinetic energy. [Pg.355]

After certain manipulations, the rhs of Eq. (25) can be reduced to the free energy F c for a certain uouuniform alloy and can be calculated using the methods mentioned in Sec. 6. Similar microscopic treatment can be performed for the embryo diffusion kinetics in the a-space. [Pg.112]

In addition to the effects discussed above, two further possible sources of discrimination peculiar to ion-molecule reactions must be considered. First, although it is known that most primary ions are formed without kinetic energy, such may not be the case for ions produced by ion molecule reactions. Secondary ions formed in exothermic ion-molecule reactions could retain a considerable fraction of the exo-thermicity as kinetic energy and diffuse from the sampling region at a rate considerably greater than predicted from the ambient temperature. The limited evidence to date (40) indicates that the kinetic energy of the product ions is small, but this may not be true for all types of reactions. [Pg.161]

All the transport properties derive from the thermal agitation of species at the atomic scale. In this respect, the simplest phenomenon is the diffusion process. In fact, as a consequence of thermal kinetic energy, all particles are subjected to a perfectly random movement, the velocity vector having exactly the same probability as orientation in any direction of the space. In these conditions, the net flux of matter in the direction of the concentration gradient is due only to the gradient of the population density. [Pg.120]

Because A < A2 and the losses are small, this shows that P2> Px, i.e., the pressure increases downstream. This occurs because the decrease in kinetic energy is transformed into an increase in pressure energy. The diffuser is said to have a high pressure recovery. ... [Pg.118]

Most radiation-chemical reactions are thermal in nature those considered in the diffusion-kinetic scheme are essentially thermal reactions (see Chapter 7). In polar media, electron thermalization is presumed to occur before solvation (Mozumder, 1988). However, ionization processes usually involve transfer of energy in excess of the ionization potential (see Chapter 4). Therefore, mechanisms of thermalization are important for radiation-chemical effects. [Pg.247]

The migration of the molecules of a fluid (liquid or gas) into another medium. Diffusion results from the kinetic energy of the molecules and is therefore speedy in gases, slower in liquids and almost negligible in solids. [Pg.22]

Note that 7Zu = 0 due to the continuity equation. Thus, the pressure-rate-of-strain tensor s role in a turbulent flow is to redistribute turbulent kinetic energy among the various components of the Reynolds stress tensor. The pressure-diffusion term T is defined... [Pg.69]

The same test cases can be used for velocity, composition PDF codes, but with the turbulent kinetic energy and turbulence frequency specified in place of the turbulent diffusivity. [Pg.380]
