The battery performs work in forcing current to flow through the solution and in causing chemical changes to occur that would not proceed spontaneously. 

In summary, therefore, solution and fiber biochemistry have provided some idea about how ATP is used by actomyosin to generate force. Currently, it seems most likely that phosphate release, and also an isomerization between two AM.ADP.Pj states, are closely linked to force generation in muscle. ATP binds rapidly to actomyosin (A.M.) and is subsequently rapidly hydrolyzed by myosin/actomyosin. There is also a rapid equilibrium between M. ADP.Pj and A.M.ADP.Pj (this can also be seen in fibers from mechanical measurements at low ionic strength). The rate limiting step in the ATPase cycle is therefore likely to be release of Pj from A.M.ADP.Pj, in fibers as well as in solution, and this supports the idea that phosphate release is associated with force generation in muscle. 

Currents in opposite directions result in a repelling force, currents in same directions result in an attractive force. 

A battery can do work by sending current to a starter motor. The battery can then be recharged by forcing current through it. If the current flow in both processes is infinitesimally small, wn [ = w21. This is a reversible process. But if the current flow is finite, as it would be in any real case,... 

Stack, and a potential difference sufficient to force current through the stack is applied between the two electrodes placed at each end of the stack. For current to pass between the electrodes, ions must be transported through each of the membranes. By arranging the feeds to the various intermembrane compartments, it is possible to force ionic salts to pass from the dilute stream to the concentrated stream. In this way, a salt can also be split into its acid and base components. By combination of several cell pairs that comprise an anion- and a cation-selective membrane sheets in parallel, a stream concentrated in the original salts may be prepared. This configuration is the common method for industrial use, in which electrodialysis gives broadly the same result as reverse osmosis and has found very similar applications to general water treatment. 

Political and social forces currently contribute to the demand for drug treatment, just as these same forces in the 1960s pushed the growth of treatment of heroin abuse. These trends reaffirm the importance of social and political factors in how U.S. society deals with alcohol and other drug use. 

Ploughing, the formation of a groove in the material, may be caused by either wear debris or asperities within the wear contact. The contribution due to ploughing may dominate the friction force. Currently, there is no reliable model to estimate the contribution to friction force by ploughing.8 Figure 3.2 shows the typical abrasion, scuffing, and ploughing.14... 

Rectifiers are used more than any other source of impressed-current power. Areas discussed include rectifier types, rectifier selection, specification requirements, and typical installation details. Various types of impressed-current anodes and components that make up an impressed-current system are also presented. Impressed-current-type cathodic protection systems provide cathodic current from an external power source. A direct current (DC) power source forces current to discharge from expendable anodes through the electrolyte and onto the structure to be protected. Although the current is not generated by the corrosion of a sacrificial metal/alloy, the energized materials used for the auxiliary anodes do corrode.
