We wish to mention the recent proposal for a redefinition of Kelvin in terms of mechanical units through the Boltzmann constant [6-7] the Kelvin should be defined as the unit of thermodynamic temperature such that the value of the Boltzmann constant is 1.3806505 x 10 23 JK 1 exactly. Of course, this value of the Boltzmann constant should be consistent with a thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water of 273.16 K. 

A general expression can be found by combining these two cases (Melis et al., 1999). In these expressions, kB is the Boltzmann constant, T is the fluid temperature (Kelvin), ji is the fluid viscosity, y is the local shear rate, and a is an efficiency factor. For shear-induced breakage, the kernel is usually fit to experimental data (Wang et al., 2005a,b). A typical form is (Pandya and Spielman, 1983) as follows ... 

This result implicitly requires (a) that no strongly attractive/repulsive electrostatic interaction occurs as the particles approach each other, and (b) that a stationary diffusional concentration field surrounds the particle. [Note Einstein s result for spherical particle diffusivity i.e.,D = k Tlfm-qr, where is the Boltzmann constant, T is temperature in kelvin, 17 is the viscosity of the medium, and r is the radius) indicates that RuD will be approximately Ak TKyni].]... 

Where Ecb and Evb are, respectively, the energy levels of the conduction and valence band edges, k (1.38 x 10" J/K) is the Boltzmann constant, and T (Kelvin scale, K) is the temperature, ityg... 

Here, Eproducts and Ereactants are the energies of products and reactants on the potential energy diagram, T is the temperature (in Kelvin) and k is the Boltzmann constant. The Boltzmann equation tells us exactly the relative amounts of products and reactants, [products]/[reactants], at infinite time. 

More generally, co is independent of the external gas pressure k is the Boltzmann constant (1.38 x 10 erg deg ) and T is the temperature in Kelvin. Furthermore, the equilibrium between co and a collapsed CS plane fault is maintained by exchange at dislocations bounding the CS planes. Clearly, this equilibrium cannot be maintained except by the nucleation of a dislocation loop and such a process requires a supersaturation of vacancies and CS planes eliminate supersaturation of anion vacancies (Gai 1981, Gai et al 1982). Thus we introduce the concept of supersaturation of oxygen point defects in the reacting catalytic oxides, which contributes to the driving force for the nucleation of CS planes. From thermodynamics. 

In this equation, kg is the Boltzmann constant, T is the absolute temperature (Kelvin), mij = + mj), a,j is a length-scale in the interaction between the two molecules, and is a collision integral, which depends on the temperature and the in-... 

In statistical mechanics the Boltzmann constant, /cB, with dimensions of energy per degree is included in expressions so that the temperatures can be given in degrees Kelvin. The numerical values of nuclear temperatures in Kelvin are very large, for example 109 K, so the product of /cB and T is usually quoted in energy units (MeV) and the Boltzmann factor is often not written explicitly. 

Where KE is kinetic energy, k is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature in kelvin. 

This odious equation states that the fraction of molecules N is a function of the mass m, velocity v, the kelvin temperature T, and a constant modestly called the Boltzmann constant k. It is much more useful to examine this function in graphical form. The graph in Figure 6.3 shows the kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas sample at two different temperatures. The black line represents the sample at a higher temperature than the gray line. 

The free-energy barrier AG is estimated from the transition-state theory the reaction rate k = 1/r = keT/hexp(—AG /RT), where z is the measured lifetime, ks Boltzmann constant, h Plank s constant, R the ideal gas constant, and T temperature in Kelvin. 

The idea of a thermodynamic temperature scale was first proposed in 1854 by the Scottish physicist William Thomson, Lord Kelvin [iv]. He realized that temperature could be defined independently of the physical properties of any specific substance. Thus, for a substance at thermal equilibrium (which can always be modeled as a system of harmonic oscillators) the thermodynamic temperature could be defined as the average energy per harmonic oscillator divided by the Boltzmann constant. Today, the unit of thermodynamic temperature is called kelvin (K), and is defined as the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
