Kinetic equation for free particles

Now we want to generalize the kinetic equation for free (unbound) particles that is, we want to derive a kinetic equation for free particles that takes into account collisions between free and bound particles as well. For this purpose it is necessary to determine the binary density operator, occurring in the collision integral of the single-particle kinetic equation, at least in the three-particle collision approximation. An approximation of such type was given in Section II.2 for systems without bound states. Thus we have to generalize, for example, the approximation for/12 given by Eq. (2.40), to systems with bound states. 

The application of Fi 2 and F,23 in the relevant kinetic equations for free particles and bound states, respectively, will be given in the next section. 

This expression will be used in Section III.4 for the formulation of a kinetic equation for free particles. 

Our aim is now to consider kinetic equations for free particles and atoms as well, which include different elementary processes. 

In order to construct a collision integral for a bound-state kinetic equation (kinetic equation for atoms, consisting of elementary particles), which accounts for the scattering between atoms and between atoms and free particles, it is necessary to determine the three-particle density operator in four-particle approximation. Four-particle collision approximation means that in the formal solution, for example, (1.30), for F 234 the integral term is neglected. Then we obtain the expression... 

With Eq. (3.37) for Fn it is possible to write a kinetic equation for F, that describes the formation and the decay of two-particle bound states in three-particle collisions. Introducing (3.37) into the first equation of the hierarchy (1-29), we obtain in a similar way as in Section III.2 a kinetic equation for the density operator of free particles. This equation may be written in the following form ... 

The desorption (exit) of free radicals from polymer particles into the aqueous phase is an important kinetic process in emulsion polymerization. Smith and Ewart [4] included the desorption rate terms into the balance equation for N particles, defining the rate of radical desorption from the polymer particles containing n free radicals in Eq. 3 as kftiN . However, they did not give any... 

Applications of this kinetic equation for isomerization dynamics have been carried out by considering the motion of a particle in the external force corresponding to the double minimum potential in Fig. 3.2. Since this model treats the free streaming in the potential correctly and specifies a not unreasonable model for the collisions, which provide the energy dissipation, interesting results for the dynamics of the reaction can be obtained. Other more complex collision models, which contain solute and solvent molecule mass effects explicitly, have also been studied. We discuss some of these results in Section Xll.

Ugelstad et al. [8,9] then incorporated the kinetic events of the bimolecular termination reaction taking place in the continuous aqueous phase and reabsorption of the desorbed free radicals by the latex particles into the O Toole model, and the mass balance equation for free radicals in the continuous aqueous phase can be expressed as... 

To correlate kinetic equations obtained from scheme (279) with experimental (277) and (278), the degrees of surface coverage with CH2, CHOH, and CO particles must be assumed small and only that for oxygen, [ZO], to be comparable with the fraction of free surface, [Z], For simplicity catalyst surface will be regarded as uniform. 

The term isothermal was previously used in terms of the model of kinetic equations applied to free motion of the particles between strong collisions [18, p. 126 65], In this particular case the collision integral St(/) of the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model is found for T (q,t) 7 const. 

We want to study the movement of a particle, which is in the deterministic sense force free, using the above equations. The kinetic energy during a stochastic process may change. We formulate the equation for the entire energy, as the Hamilton function with noise. 

The potential energy for a free particle is a constant (taken arbitrarily as zero) V = 0 therefore, energy E represents only the kinetic eneigy. The Schrbdinger equation takes the form... 

In the transition and free-molecular regimes, the difficulty in describing effective aerosol interaction forces lies ultimately in the intractability of the Boltzmann (or other appropriate) kinetic equation to exact solution. In the case of two transition-regime spheres, with absolutely no interaction potential, an effective attractive force arises because the zone of isotropic gas molecular collisions for each particle is truncated by the presence of the other particle. It is this effective interaction force which the dividing-sphere method approximates by assuming complete absorption for distances less than some distance defined for each pair of spheres regardless of their composition. 

The motion of the particles is governed by the potential energy U. If U is independent of the position of the center of mass, as is the case in field-free space or in the presence of homogeneous fields, the equations of motion (classical or quantum) factorize into separate equations for the center of mass and for the relative motion. The total linear momentump is conserved in a collision, so the center of mass moves uniformly (constant velocity V) and is unaffected by the collision. The kinetic energy T is conserved in elastic collisions, and L is conserved if the angular momenta of the particles themselves do not change in magnitude or direction.
