Macroscopic consequences

Theoretical studies of the microsolvation effect on SN2 reactions have also been reported by our coworkers and ourselves (Gonzalez-Lafont et al. 1991 Truhlar et al. 1992 Tucker and Truhlar 1990 Zhao et al. 1991b, 1992). Two approaches were used for interfacing electronic structure calculations with variational transitional state theory (VST) and tunneling calculations. We analyzed both the detailed dynamics of microsolvation and also its macroscopic consequences (rate coefficient values and kinetic isotope effects and their temperature... [Pg.25]

It is easy to understand that these solutions must exhibit viscoelastic properties. Under shear flow the vesicles have to pass each other and, hence, they have to be deformed. On deformation, the distance of the lamellae is changed against the electrostatic forces between them and the lamellae leave their natural curvature. The macroscopic consequence is an elastic restoring force. If a small shear stress below the yield stress ery is applied, the vesicles cannot pass each other at all. The solution is only deformed elastically and behaves like Bingham s solid. This rheological behaviour is shown in Figure 3.35. which clearly reveals the yield stress value, beyond which the sample shows a quite low viscosity. [Pg.87]

Surface reconstruction usually leads to the formation of stable overlayers. This cannot occur without some mobility of catalyst substrate atoms. The reconstructed phase often has a different surface atom density from the non-reconstructed surface. For this reason the macroscopic consequence may be facetting of the catalyst along particular preferred crystallographic directions. This explains the often observed phenomenon that a heterogeneous catalyst often shows only stable performance after some initiation period. In a reactive system the surface composition of the adlayer may strongly vary with conditions and hence the details of surface facetting and surface reactivity. [Pg.148]

Adsorption isotherms describe one macroscopic consequence of these interactions, i.e., the relation between the amount of molecules adsorbed on a unit (mass, surface) of the solid and the sorbate equilibrium pressure (or relative pressure) at a given temperature. Below the critical temperature, the pressure is commonly normalized to the saturation pressure po which then leads to a dimensionless expression of the relative pressure p/pc,. The quantity of gas adsorbed is usually expressed as the mass of the sorbate or the volume of gas reduced to STP (standard temperature and pressure) adsorbed per mass of solid sorbent. [Pg.546]

From the point of view of both the electrical and chemical properties of a discharge, perhaps the most important macroscopic consequence of a plasma state is the shielding which it provides against electrical fields. With highly mobile electrons and ions present, any attempt to apply a field will be nullified in great measure by the polarization of the plasma, and the field will be able to be felt only near the edges of the plasma. [Pg.22]

Hence, a decrease in fluid pressure (i.e., Pupstream > Pdownstream) represents the macroscopic consequence of the irreversible degradation of kinetic energy to internal energy via friction loss. [Pg.730]

In essence, only 1% of OM in the paint, which has to form a 20 (jim primer layer containing a nanosized complex OM particle network, provides a drastic change in the metal surface behavior it stops corroding. This can be measured, for example, by scanning the voltage potential and by impedance spectroscopy [76]. Here, the nanostructures cause the following macroscopic consequences ... [Pg.1075]

The process of crystallization may be considered in three stages crystal nucleation, crystal growth, and the equilibrium partially crystalline state. Embryo nuclei may continuously form and grow even in amorphous rubber. However, below a certain critical size they are unstable enough to disappear due to random thermal motions of the molecular chain and may not have measurable macroscopic consequences. [Pg.77]

The connection of random-walk calculations based on concentration-gradient theory may be summoned as follows. As we have noted (Section 2.3), the Equation for diffusion-controlled rate constants based on Pick s law agrees with that derived from a random-walk model (Section 2.3). Pick s law is in fact a macroscopic consequence of the random-walk model of molecular-scale processes or, to put it the other way round, the random-walk model is an interpretation of Pick s experimental law [4]. [Pg.58]
