General formulations

In our presentation of the atomic polar tensor formulation we shall follow the notation introduced by Person and Newton [33] since it is now generally accepted. The dipole moment changes induced by vibrational distortions are represented as functions of individual atom displacements 

P (a) are the atomic polar tensors and are displacement vectors that can be defined as 

Arranged in a row all atomic polar tensors of a molecule form die matrix Px 

The elements of Px are determined from the dipole moment derivatives widi respect to normal coordinates using relations of the type 

The 3N atomic Cartesian displacement coordinates describe not only vibrational motion but die translation and rotation of die molecule in space as well. Therefore, Qt in expression (4.5) include also the six rototranslational normal coordinates. Thus, (dp/dQth divided into two parts. The derivatives of p with respect to normal 

In this section, generalizations of the instanton theory and the modified WKB theory described in Chapter 2 to multidimensional space are presented [43], Those who are not interested in the generalization of the instanton approach and the proof of its equivalence to the modified WKB theory can skip Section 6.1.1 and Section 6.1.2. In Section 6.1.3 a general WKB formulation for a general Hamiltonian in curved space is provided and its final expression of tunneling splitting can be directly applied to any real systems. 

In this section the mass scaled coordinates are used and the Planck constant fi is assumed to be unity, unless otherwise explicitly mentioned. The mass m and the Planck constant i can be recovered in all the equations and final results by making the following substitutions. This applies also to other sections in this chapter. 

To evaluate the Al-dimensional analog of the pre-exponential factor B [see Equation (2.135)1, we consider the path integral over harmonic fluctuations along the instanton. 

Let S parametrize the instanton trajectory qo(5) and let be a set of Af — 1 transverse coordinates defined by the relation 

Hereafter the summation is taken from 1 to A/ for Latin indices and from 1 to Af — 1 for the Greek ones. According to Equation (6.9), tia determine the orthogonal transformation to the local frame of reference. One can check that the second condition. Equation (6.10), makes the metric tensor diagonal in the coordinates S and fo,. This condition is not essential but it simplifies the following derivations. The instanton trajectory approaches the potential minima along one of the normal modes, which we numerate as the A/th. We can also choose fa to coincide with the other N — 1 normal coordinates at the potential minimum. Due to Equation (6.10), we have 

The transmission boundary-value problem for homogeneous and isotropic particles has been formulated in Sect. 1.4 but we mention it in order for our analysis to be complete. We consider an homogeneous, isotropic particle occupying a domain D with boundary S and exterior (Fig. 2.1). The imit normal vector to S directed into is denoted by n. The exterior domain Ds is assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic, and nonabsorbing, and if t and jM. are the relative permittivity and permeability of the domain Ht, where t = s, i, we have s 0 and ps 0. The wave number in the domain Dt is kt = ko, /etPt, where ko is the wave number in the free space. The transmission boundary-value problem for a homogeneous and isotropic particle has the following formulation. 

Given as an entire solution to the Maxwell equations representing 

The standard scheme for computing the transition matrix in the framework of the null-field method relies on the solution of the general null-field equation 

Considering the general null-field equation (2.4), we restrict r to lie on a spherical surface enclosed in D expand the incident field and the dyad gl in terms of regular vector spherical wave functions (cf. (1.25), (B.21) and (B.22)), and use the orthogonality of the vector spherical wave functions on spherical surfaces to obtain 

An approximate solution to the null-field equations can be obtained by approximating the surface fields e-, and h, by the complete set of regular vector spherical wave functions for the interior domain (or the interior wave 

In Section 5.1, we have seen (Fig. 5.2) that the molar concentration vector c can be transformed using the SVD of the reaction coefficient matrix T into a vector c that has Nr reacting components cr and N conserved components cc.35 In the limit of equilibrium chemistry, the behavior of the Nr reacting scalars will be dominated by the transformed chemical source term S , 36 On the other hand, the behavior of the N conserved scalars will depend on the turbulent flow field and the inlet and initial conditions for the flow domain. However, they will be independent of the chemical reactions, which greatly simplifies the mathematical description. 

At high Reynolds numbers, it is usually possible to assume that the mean scalar fields (e.g., (cc)) are independent of molecular-scale quantities such as the molecular-diffusion coefficients. In this case, it is usually safe to assume that all scalars have the same molecular diffusivity T. The conserved-scalar transport equation then simplifies to37 

Note that (5.63) is linear, and thus cc will be uniquely determined by the initial and 

As shown in Fig. 5.4, the flow domain can be denoted by V with inlet streams at Ain boundaries denoted by 3f2, (/ el. Ain). In many scalar mixing problems, the initial conditions in the flow domain are uniform, i.e., cc(x, 0) = cj.01. Likewise, the scalar values at the inlet streams are often constant so that Cc(x e 3 2, t) = cj, 1 for all i e 1. Nm. Under these assumptions,38 the principle of linear superposition leads to the following relationship  

35 In order to simplify the notation, we will consider only the isothermal case in this section. The constant-fluid-property case will be identical when T is replaced by Yc. In the non-isothermal case, an additional transport equation will be needed to determine the temperature. 

In Chapter 2 we considered diffusion in a closed system containing TV components, exclusive of any mediating point defects.1 If only chemical potential gradients are present and all other driving forces—such as thermal gradients or electric fields— 

1Such defects, if present, will be assumed to be in local thermal equilibrium at very small concentrations.

Assuming that the atomic volumes of the components are constants and the fluxes are measured in a V-frame, as defined in Section 3.1.3, Eq. 3.22 holds for all N components, 

The JVth flux can now be eliminated in Eq. 6.2 by using Eq. 6.3 and putting the result into Eq. 6.2, so that 

The essential starting-point is to recognize the fact that the fluxes of O and R at the electrode surface are partitioned between the charge-transfer reaction and the change of a surface excess, P0 and rR, respectively. This leads to the mass balance equations 

We have seen already that the general solution of Fick s second law in the Laplace domain can be formulated in various convenient ways. Here, we choose the notation of eqn. (147) 

This set of four equations contains seven unknowns. So three additional relationships have to be formulated for the interfacial processes. For example, let us assume that the adsorption processes are not retarded by kinetic control. Then rQ (t) and TR (f) are determined by their adsorption isotherms, implicitly written as functions of the potential and the surface concentrations 

Finally, we have the rate equation of the charge transfer reaction 

It is not irrelevant whether the charge transfer proceeds via the adsorbed or via the non-adsorbed species, because a model is needed to give eqn. (166g) an explicit formulation. As we have seen in Sect. 4, a non-linear multi-step mechanism may lead eventually to rather complex expressions of v — f(E, cD, cR ). If the reaction is supposed to proceed via adsorbed O and R, similar or even heavier complexity can be expected, depending on the nature of the isotherms. In that case, the formulation in terms of surface excesses, i.e. v = f(E, rD, PR ) may be advantageous. 

In order to determine the warping displacement mq(x, s) in accordance with Remark 7.9, the case of pure torsion of the beam needs to be considered. Therefore, all components not related to the twist angle cj) x) or warping displacement ue x, s), have to be omitted in the description of wall strains. Without the preemptive introduction of the warping function 0 s) by virtue of Eqs. (7.11) and (7.27) in Eq. (7.31), this yields 

Remark 7.10. For pure torsion, the resultant of internal forces and moments in the warping relevant axial equilibrium is constant along the cross-sectional 

For anisotropic arbitrary cross-sections, the lines of the internal shear force and twisting moment in the constitutive relation, given by Eq. (6.24), read regarding the special case at hand  

Herein the terms vanishing due to the rigid cross-section of Remark 7.4 have been deleted and the electric influences are omitted to warrant pure torsion. When Eqs. (7.35) are substituted into Eqs. (7.37), derivatives of the war ing displacement uq(x, s) with respect to both coordinate directions are contained. Their influences may be estimated in accordance with Armanios and Badir [7] as follows  

Remark 7.11. The torsional shear force component proportional to the derivative of the warping displacement in the cross-sectional direction is assumed to dominate over the one with the derivative in the axial direction. 

In Chapter 1 we considered the equilibrium properties of small clusters and derived explicit thermodynamic expressions for the work AG(r ) of nucleus formation. We hould emphasize, however, that giving us the value of the energy barrier AG n) thermodynamics do not say anything about the rate J of appearance of nuclei within the supersaturated parent phase. The reason is that this important physical quantity depends on the mechanism of nucleus formation and can be determined only by means of kinetic considerations. It is the purpose of this Chapter to present the fundamentals of the nucleation kinetics, to derive explicit expressions for the nucleation rate J and to reveal the supersaturation dependence of this quantity. In doing this we consider the nucleus formation on the assumption that the process is a set of consecutive bimolecular reactions of the type  

In equations (2.1) and (2.2) Z f) and Z +](/) are the number densities of n-1, of n and of n+1-atomic clusters at time t and w+ .i and Ohn are the frequencies of attachment of single atoms to the clusters consisting of n-1 and ofn atoms, respectively. Accordingly and co +i are the frequencies of detachment of single atoms from the clusters consisting of n and of n+1 atoms. Both . and w+ are considered as time independent and the rate of appearance n-atomic clusters is expressed as  

The formation and growth of nuclei on the substrate causes a gradual exhaustion of single atoms and leads eventually to establishment of a thermodynamic equilibrium between the bulk new and the bulk parent phase. However, if the supersaturation Aft is kept constant the simple case of a stationary (or a steady state) nucleation dZ t dt = 0) may be realized after a certain time. Under such conditions the equality 

The set of algebraic equations (2.8) has been solved first by Becker and DOring [2.6] (see also [2.7-2.91) on the simplifying assumption that the clusters having reached the size s were disintegrated to single particles and were returned to the parent phase in order to keep constant the supersaturation A ju. Thus the number was considered to be equal to zero. 

The simple mathematical method used by Becker and Doting consists in the following. The first equation of the set (2.8) is multiplied by l/o+o the second is multiplied by a.i/ y+oG)+], the third by the nth by

Chapter 11 treats reactors where mass and component balances are needed for at least two phases and where there is interphase mass transfer. Most examples have two fluid phases, typically gas-liquid. Reaction is usually confined to one phase, although the general formulation allows reaction in any phase. A third phase, when present, is usually solid and usually catalytic. The solid phase may be either mobile or stationary. Some example systems are shown in Table 11.1. 

Before proposing a general formulation, we illustrate a DIFF with a simple case, in which we consider bone collagen as the body component, and the diet as containingjust two components, protein and non-protein. In the notation, B stands for body 5 values, and D for diet 8 values suffixes distinguish the particular component specified. Thus Bcolla stands for the collagen 8 C, Dp and Dn for the dietary protein and non-protein 6 C values. 

If the explicit solution cannot be used or appears impractical, we have to return to the general formulation of the problem, given at the beginning of the last section, and search for a solution without any simplifying assumptions.
