Howell 2 Discussion

We would like to thank L. Zhang, R. McLean, L. Liang, D. Howell, T. Liang (DuPont), X. Dong (Eli Lilly), and Q. Sun (Koch) for their valuable discussion. 

The growth of cloud droplets is allied closely to that of aerosol build-up. Howell 51) gives an equation for the growth of such a particle, and the size spectra of both the condensation nuclei and resulting drops formed in a natural cloud. Squires 101) also discusses the growth of cj jj drogs. ... 

Detailed kinetic schemes have also been proposed for many other polymers and the work of Bockhom et al.6-8 is representative of this large area of the literature for schemes relating to polyamide 6, PP, PE, and other polymers. Other experimental approaches, mainly aimed at identifying Arrhenius parameters in similar schemes, are discussed by Howell,9 Lehrle et al.,10 Shyichuk,11 Wilkie,12 and Holland and Hay.1314... 

It is interesting to note that the fin efficiency reaches its maximum value for the trivial case of L = 0, or no fin at all. Therefore, we should not expect to be able to maximize fin performance with respect to fin length. It is possible, however, to maximize the efficiency with respect to the quantity of fin material (mass, volume, or cost), and such a maximization process has rather obvious economic significance. We have not discussed the subject of radiation heat transfer from fins. The radiant transfer is an important consideration in a number of applications, and the interested reader should consult Siegel and Howell IV1 for information on this subject. 

This book is intended to make clear the front of the state-of-the art of the nanochemistry of the liquid-liquid interface. The plan to make this book had started from the discussion with Mr. Kenneth Howell of Kluwer Academic Publishers just after the Symposium on Nano-Chemistry in Liquid-Liquid Interfaces at the Pacifichem 2001 held in Hawaii. In the year of2001, the Scientific Research on Priority Areas Nano-Chemistry at the Liquid-Liquid Interfaces (2001-2003) was approved by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan. So, it will be timely to review some important studies accomplished in the project and to learn more about the liquid-liquid interfacial science by inviting outstanding researchers through the world as authors. 

The work on H2C=NH discussed above has been restricted to the parent molecule, but Howell has recently reported a detailed investigation of the seven fluoro-derivatives, together with the parent compound. The STO-3G basis vras used and the geometries were optimized. For CHF=NF the cis isomer was predicted to be more stable than the trans, and this situation is also found in NF=NF, NH=NH, and CHF==CHF. The previous ab initio computations on the monofluoro-derivative did not include geometry optimization. 

There are a number of people that I need to thank for all their efforts without whom this book would have never happened. First and foremost, I need to thank Dr. Ken Howell for his unwavering support, mentorship, and most of all, patience. I would like to thank Professor John T. Yates, Jr. for writing the Foreword. John is an expert in many of the topics discussed in this book, and in my mind, the foremost authority to comment on the diverse set of chapters contained within. All of the authors are commended for their hard work in completing an outstanding selection of chapters. Each chapter in the book was peer-reviewed by at least two individuals and I must thank the 50-t reviewers for their efforts. Lastly, I need to thank my wife. 

Howell and Velicangil (jj.) described three phases in flux loss with time. The gel layer of retained species forms on the membrane in seconds and, as discussed earlier, its restriction on filtration rate can be reduced by increasing the cross flow. Over a period of minutes adsorption of constituents from the media on the membrane takes place. In the time frame of hours, the gel layer on the membrane may become unstable resulting in a less permeable layer. These effects of adsorption and gel layer instability are the principle causes of fouling. They result in lower system output than would be expected based on the solution and operating conditions. The filtration rate of a badly fouled system is dependent on pressure and independent of cross flow.

Richardson for communication of results in advance of publication and for helpful discussions, and J. L. Howell and A. F. Kirby for valuable experimental assistance. 

Hydroxylation of the ring by reactions formally comparable to those carried out by salicylate hydroxylase (White-Stevens et al. 1972), 4-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase (Howell et al. 1972), or 2,4-dichlorophenol hydroxylase (Beadle and Smith 1982 Perkins et al. 1990). These have been discussed in Section 4.4.1.1. 

Wavelength Dependence of Optical Properties. The relationship between the optical properties n and k and the other molecular-crystalline properties of the solid are discussed by Siegel and Howell [45], The theoretical treatments of the prediction of these properties are also discussed by them. Here, we examine some of the limited experimental data on n(X) and k(A.) for solids.

We wish to thank R.E. Teets and J.H. Bechtel for helpful discussions, L. Green and S. Howell for technical assistance, and A.D. Gara for encouragement and support. 

These laws of friction apply to dry, unlubricated surfaces and to boundary lubricants (very thin solid or nonfluid films separating the surfaces) but not to hydrodynamic lubricants [120], such as fluid layers that separate the moving surfaces (e.g., engine-lubricating oUs). Generally, lipid on the surface of the hair provides a reduction in friction. This is an experimental variable of concern to control (e.g., by careful cleansing of the test surfaces of the fibers or by testing in surfactant solutions, this variable may be controlled). Several theories attempt to explain friction. For discussion of these theories, see the book by Howell et al. [120], Friction in Textiles. 

The Eqs. (7.14-7.16) must in general be solved by numerical methods. It is unfortunately not yet possible to say which of these theories form the most reliable means of relating 0(r) to a(q). The difficulties involved have been discussed at length by Gehlen and Enderby (1969) and need not be repeated here. All the theories seem to be capable of distinguishing between metals and insulators there is also strong evidence that the HN theory is to be preferred over the BG theory for metallic liquids (see, for example, Howells and Enderby (1972)).

Another very important frictional behavior at much lower contact forces measures fiber-fiber interactions associated with hair body and style retention. Robbins (47) discusses a method for determining dry static friction at low load (—1 mg) by using a modification of the incline plane fiber loop method of Howell and Mazur (48). In this procedure, the angle of slip is measured at which a small hair loop sitting on two parallel hair fibers begins to slide. At these low-contact loads, the interaction between deposited films on the fiber surface and the adhesive properties between them becomes important.
