Mass variation, with velocity

The relativistic correction of the mass variation with velocity depends essentially on the fourth power of the nabla operator [68b]. In fact one can write the involved integral as ... 

Hm(r) describes the relativistic variation of mass with velocity,... 

The second moment (p ) is twice the electronic kinetic energy, and the fourth moment p ) is proportional to the correction to the kinetic energy due to the relativistic variation of mass with velocity [174—178]. 

Dynamic ion separation systems are based on another physical principle and use the different flight time of ions with different masses and different velocity (e.g., in ToF mass analyzers). In addition, in dynamic ion separation systems there is a time dependent variation of one or more system parameters, e.g., changing of electrical or/and magnetic field strengths, which means the ion motion during the measurement procedure is crucial for the mass spectrometric analysis. 

Most nonequilibrium systems are characterized by variation of velocity, temperature, composition, or electrical potential with position and the consequent transport of momentum, energy, mass, or electric charge. Naturally, transport of two or more of these may occur simultaneously. Attention is focused here, however, on situations where only one transport process occurs and a transport coefficient can be calculated from its measured rate. For example, thermal conductivity can be calculated if the rate of energy transport and the temperature variation in the system are measured. 

But no fine structure - yet - until in 1915 Bohr considered the effect of relativistic variation of mass with velocity in elliptical orbits under the inverse square law of binding, and pointed out that the consequential precessional motion of the ellipses would introduce new periodicities into the motion of the electron, whose consequences would be satellite lines in the spectra. The details of the dynamics were worked out independently by SOMMERFELD [38] and WILSON [39] in 1915/16 based on a generalisation of Bohr s quantization, namely, the quantization of action the values of the phase integrals Jf = fpj.d, - of classical mechanics should be constrained to assume only integral multiples of h. 

In addition to the performance variations with reactant concentration and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), there can be multiple steady states observed. Generally, a reactor in which a single, exothermic reaction is occurring will operate in one of two stable steady states. Additionally, an unstable steady-state solution to the mass... 

Two gas-solid catalytic reactions, (1) and (2), are studied in fixed-bed reactors. Rates of reaction per unit mass of catalyst, at constant composition and total pressure, indicate the variations with mass velocity and temperature shown in the figure. The interior pore surface in each case is fully effective. What do the results shown suggest about the two reactions ... 

The curve R-S is the actual variation of the HETP with velocity. The tangent to this curve, P-Q, allows the extrapolation to zero velocity. Thus the eddy diffusion is shown as the straight line, P-T. The resistance to mass transfer is represented by the contributions between finds P-T and P-Q for n-butane and P-T and P-U for air. The molecular diffusion contribution is represented by... 

We shall see that the conversion eqneiions give rise to partial differeatial equations for the variation of velocity, density, concentration, and temperature as a function of position and time. Most practical problems require considerable simplification of the complete equations by appropriate assumptions. By far the most important pan of an analysis is the proper choice of these assumptions based on physical reasoning, Most of this bouk is devotnd to such analyses. This section derives formulations of halance equations and focuses on the physical meaning of the various terms, especially with application lo mass transfer phenomena. 

The result represents the Einstein relation for variation of the total energy as being proportionally with the dynamical mass variation, while having the square of the light velocity as the proportionality constant. Together... 

Equation (1.3) is not exact relativistic effects (such as the variation of mass with velocity or the electron spin ) have been neglected. We shall have to return to this point later.
