Electrical forces

The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons in a cluster. Virtually all the mass of the atom resides in the nucleus. The nucleus is held together by the tight pull of what is known to chemists and physicists as the "strong force." This force between the protons and neutrons overcomes the repulsive electrical force that would, according to the rules of electricity, push the protons apart otherwise. 

The velocity of sound in liquid thiazole was also measured, and the adiabatic compressibility was determined (302) it was concluded that intermolecular interactions result from the electrical forces, originating in the heteratoms, between the molecules. 

A parameter used to characterize ER fluids is the Mason number, Af, which describes the ratio of viscous to electrical forces, and is given by equation 14, where S is the solvent dielectric constant T q, the solvent viscosity 7, the strain or shear rate P, the effective polarizabiUty of the particles and E, the electric field (117). 

The Dehye-Hbckel theory of electrolytes based on the electric field surrounding each ion forms the basis for modern concepts of electrolyte behavior (16,17). The two components of the theory are the relaxation and the electrophoretic effect. Each ion has an ion atmosphere of equal opposite charge surrounding it. During movement the ion may not be exacdy in the center of its ion atmosphere, thereby producing a retarding electrical force on the ion. 

Constant flow jets operate by passiag a stream of charged particles contiauously through an electric field. In order for these to hit the substrate the drops have to be deflected by electrical force. Nondeflected drops fall iato a gutter. By changing the electrical field, drops can be deflected different distances and directions, so it is possible to obtain designs usiag a relatively few number of jets. Both techniques have been used widely for paper. 

Dielectric Constant The dielectric constant of material represents its ability to reduce the electric force between two charges separated in space. This propei ty is useful in process control for polymers, ceramic materials, and semiconduc tors. Dielectric constants are measured with respect to vacuum (1.0) typical values range from 2 (benzene) to 33 (methanol) to 80 (water). TEe value for water is higher than for most plastics. A measuring cell is made of glass or some other insulating material and is usually doughnut-shaped, with the cylinders coated with metal, which constitute the plates of the capacitor.

The ionic mobility is the average velocity imparted to the species under the action of a unit force (per mole), i is the stream velocity, cm/s. In the present case, the electrical force is given by the product of the electric field V in V/cm and the charge per mole, where S" is the Faraday constant in C/g equivalent and Z is the valence of the ith species. Multiplication of this force by the mobihty and the concentration C [(g mol)/cm ] yields the contribution of migration to the flux of the ith species. 

A tangential electric field VE acting on these charges produces a relative motion between the interface and the solution just outside the diffuse layer. In view of the thinness of the diffuse layer, a balance of the tangential viscous and electrical forces can be written... 

Molecular interactions are the result of intermolecular forces which are all electrical in nature. It is possible that other forces may be present, such as gravitational and magnetic forces, but these are many orders of magnitude weaker than the electrical forces and play little or no part in solute retention. It must be emphasized that there are three, and only three, different basic types of intermolecular forces, dispersion forces, polar forces and ionic forces. All molecular interactions must be composites of these three basic molecular forces although, individually, they can vary widely in strength. In some instances, different terms have been introduced to describe one particular force which is based not on the type of force but on the strength of the force. Fundamentally, however, there are only three basic types of molecular force. 

The induced counter-dipole can act in a similar manner to a permanent dipole and the electric forces between the two dipoles (permanent and induced) result in strong polar interactions. Typically, polarizable compounds are the aromatic hydrocarbons examples of their separation using induced dipole interactions to affect retention and selectivity will be given later. Dipole-induced dipole interaction is depicted in Figure 12. Just as dipole-dipole interactions occur coincidentally with dispersive interactions, so are dipole-induced dipole interactions accompanied by dispersive interactions. It follows that using an n-alkane stationary phase, aromatic... 

An ESP is a particulate control device that uses electrical forces to move particles entrained within an exhaust stream onto collection surfaces. The basic theory has already been described under dry ESPs, but a brief summary here is included, with... 

Precipitator, electrostatic A device for collecting particulate matter from a gas stream by using electric forces to impart a negative charge to the particulate matter in the gas stream. These charged particulates are attracted to collecting surfaces which have the opposite polarity. 

The principle of a circular accelerator is that forces from properly arranged electromagnets cause the charged particles of the beam to move in circles, while properly arranged electrical forces boost the energ r of the particles each time they go around. The radius of the circle depends on the mass and speed of...

The oil for an oil-base mud can be diesel oil, kerosene, fuel oil, selected crude oil, or mineral oil. There are several requirements for the oil (1) API gravity = 36° - 37°. (2) flash point = 180°F or above, (3) fire point = 200°F or above, and (4) aniline point = 140°F or above. Emulsifiers are more important in oil-base mud than in water-base mud because contamination on the drilling rig is very likely, and it is very detrimental to oil mud. Thinners, on the other hand, are far more important in water-base mud than in oil-base mud oil is dielectric, so there are no interparticle electric forces to be nullified. 

These remove particles by means of applied electrical forces, and are used extensively on cement and fly ash removal from air streams. The particles are first given an electric charge and are then passed through an electric... 

The region from the Helmholz plane into the solution, across which the potential varies exponentially attaining a value of zero at some distance in this region the ions are subjected to both ordering electrical forces and disordering thermal forces. 

Ionic compounds are held together by strong electrical forces between oppositely charged ions (e.g., Na+, Cl-). These forces are referred to as ionic bonds.
