Evaporation and Growth

Figure 11.3 shows y, and p, as a function of i for various values of S. The evaporation and growth curves intersect at the i values for the particular value of S. As expected, i decreases as S increases. 

Open recirculating systems These are more amenable to inhibition since it is possible to maintain a closer control on water composition. Corrosion inhibition in these systems is closely allied to a number of other problems that have to be considered in the application of water treatment. Most of these arise from the use of cooling towers, ponds, etc. in which the water is subject to constant evaporation and contamination leading to accumulation of dirt, insoluble matter, aggressive ions and bacterial growths, and to variations in pH. A successful water treatment must therefore take all these factors into account and inhibition will often be accompanied by scale prevention and bactericidal treatments.

Supported model catalysts are frequently prepared by thermally evaporating metal atoms onto a planar oxide surface in UHV. The morphology and growth of supported metal clusters depend on a number of factors such as substrate morphology, the deposition rate, and the surface temperature. For a controlled synthesis of supported model catalysts, it is necessary to monitor the growth kinetics of supported metal...
