In a rectangular slab

C.19 Aluminum oxide, alumina, exists in a variety of crystal structures, some of which are beautiful and rare. Write the formula for aluminum oxide, which is a binary compound of aluminum and oxygen. The mass of a rectangular slab of aluminum oxide of dimensions 2.5 cm X 3.0 cm X 4.0 cm is 102 g. What is the density of aluminum oxide ... 

The simplest case we shall consider is that of a first order chemical reaction occurring within a rectangular slab of porous catalyst, the edges of which are sealed so that diffusion occurs in one dimension only. Figure 3.2 illustrates the geometry of the slab. Consider that the first order irreversible reaction ... 

Once the area to be analysed has been identified, it is possible either to focus the probe on a specific point (the spatial resolution laterally and in terms of depth is then between 1 and a few micrometres) or to scan an area corresponding to a rectangular zone (the zone analysed is then a rectangular slab with the lateral dimensions of the scanned area and a height of between 1 and a few micrometres). 

To obtain a better perspective, consider the diagram of the work function developed by Lang [76] and depicted in Fig. 38. Take a rectangular slab of some... 

For simplicity, we present here a two-dimensional, isothermal version of the convective-diffusive lattice-gas model, appropriate for liquid and vapor phases of a single-species system in a microcapillary. Consider a rectangular slab A oi N = Lx X Ly sites r = (x, y) on a square lattice, with lattice constant a and unit vectors ei,2 = + 1,0)a, and 63,4 = (0) 1) - The boundary layers and B2 ait y = 0 and y = (Ly — l)a are adjacent to solid walls Wi and W2 ait y = — a and y = Ly a, respectively. We will assume periodic boundary conditions in the y direction. Sites are assigned spin variables S, = + 1, representing occupancy by a single particle species of mass n, or a vacancy at site r, respectively. Furthermore, assume that this closed microcapillary system between the two walls contains a fixed number of particles, and that the system is isothermal, as if each site v/ere in contact with a heat reservoir at temperature T. Let us define a fundamental timestep At = z. At any given time, we will assume a velocity cUf, defined at each site, where c = a/i is a unit velocity, and u, is a dimensionless velocity field measured in fractions of the unit velocity. For the remainder of this paper, length and time will be expressed in units of a and x, respectively. 

We obtain AM(He) from the data in Figure 8 and calculate Jcni(He) using the rectangular slab Eq. 13 where a = 0.62 mm and b = 0.040 mm. The result is shown in Figure 9 where the magnetization critical current density Jcm falls monotonically with increasing field strength. Actually, Eq. 13 must be modified for... 

The hot wall approach to the plasma-enhanced CVD system has been described in Chapter 3. A schematic of a typical system is shown in Figure 21. The elements of this system are similar to that of the cold-wall system just described. There is a gas panel, vacuum system, and an RF power supply to create the discharge. The RF frequency typically used is 400 kHz. The reaction chamber of such a system is shown in Figure 22. The electrodes are a set of several long narrow rectangular slabs of graphite with pockets cut into them. The graphite electrodes lead to some problems with particulate contamination, but attempts to use aluminum have not been successful.
