Effective moving mass

We now have the foundation for applying thermodynamics to chemical processes. We have defined the potential that moves mass in a chemical process and have developed the criteria for spontaneity and for equilibrium in terms of this chemical potential. We have defined fugacity and activity in terms of the chemical potential and have derived the equations for determining the effect of pressure and temperature on the fugacity and activity. Finally, we have introduced the concept of a standard state, have described the usual choices of standard states for pure substances (solids, liquids, or gases) and for components in solution, and have seen how these choices of standard states reduce the activity to pressure in gaseous systems in the limits of low pressure, to concentration (mole fraction or molality) in solutions in the limit of low concentration of solute, and to a value near unity for pure solids or pure liquids at pressures near ambient. 

Two spherical particles, one of density 3000 kg/m3 and diameter 20 p,m, and the other of density 2000 kg/m3 and diameter 30 p,m, start settling from rest at the same horizontal level in a liquid of density 900 kg/m3 and of viscosity 3 mN s/m2. After what period of settling will the particles be again at the same horizontal level It may be assumed that Stokes Law is applicable, and the effect of mass acceleration of the liquid moved with each sphere may be ignored. 

For a polemic against the common but convenient practice of referring to relativistic mass versus rest mass see Okun L (1989) Phys Today June 1989 30. Relativistic effects like mass increase and time decrease (time dilation) at a velocity v are given by what we may call the Einstein factor , V(l-v2/c2), where c is the velocity of light. The inner electrons of a heavy atom can move at about 0.3c, so here the mass increase is l/V(l-v2/c2) = l/V(l-0.32) = 1/ 0.95 = 1.05 or 5 percent. Small but significant... 

AW device sensitivity to viscoelastic parameters and electrical pnqieities can be used to advantage in some film characterization techniques. In these situations, a comparison of the AW device response to a model of the AW/thin film interaction is often crucial to the effective evaluation of thin film parameters. These additional interaction mechanisms typically involve changes in both the wave velocity and the wave attenuation for SAW, APM and FPW devices, and changes in both resonant frequency and admittance magnitude in TSM devices. In contrast, mass loading does not contribute to wave attenuation or decreases in admittance since moving mass involves no power dissipation (see Chapter 3). 

Now, one may wonder why the movement of the RDE in a fixed plane has an effect on mass transport in a direction perpendicular to the plane. This comes about because the disc drags the solution nearest to it and imparts to it momentum in the tangential direction. As a result, solution is pushed out of the surface sideways (in a plane parallel to it) and is replaced by solution moving in from the bulk, in a direction perpendicular to the surface. The rotating surface acts, in effect, as a pump, pulling the liquid up toward it, as shown schematically in... 

Whenever the external vibrations produee large anisotropic displacement parameter values for the scattering atoms it will exaggerate the impact of any given value of Q. The phonon wing envelope will move to even higher frequencies and the response will broaden. Only two characteristics of a sample bear on its anisotropic displacement parameter (with samples at low temperatures), the effective molecular mass, Hef[, and the Einstein frequency, see ( 2.6.2.1). The lighter the... 

The linear dependence of C witii temperahire agrees well with experiment, but the pre-factor can differ by a factor of two or more from the free electron value. The origin of the difference is thought to arise from several factors the electrons are not tndy free, they interact with each other and with the crystal lattice, and the dynamical behaviour the electrons interacting witii the lattice results in an effective mass which differs from the free electron mass. For example, as the electron moves tlirough tiie lattice, the lattice can distort and exert a dragging force.
