Penetration of a substance is measured by the permeability coefficient, P, which could be converted to a measurable diffusional coefficient, D, if Pick s law applied strictly. In the more complex situation of a membrane barrier, Kedem and Katchalsky (1958, 1961) have shown that under rigidly controlled conditions there exist at least three parameters which must be considered when characterizing the behavior of a membrane toward a particular solute (1) the interaction between membrane and solvent (2) the interaction between solute and membrane and (3) the interaction between solute and solvent. The reflection coefficient, (T, measures relative rates of solute and solvent permeabilities in the system (Staverman, 1952) and is therefore a measure of semipermeability. Lp is the mechanical coefficient of filtration or pressure filtration coefficient, and co is the solute mobility or solute diffusional coefficient. In the case of living membranes, conditions such as volume flow, osmotic gradients, and cell volume can be manipulated in order to measure the phenomenological coefficients cr, o>, and Lp. Detailed discussions of the theories, methods, and problems involved in such... 

The structurally similar molybdenum disulfide also has a low coefficient of friction, but now not increased in vacuum [2,30]. The interlayer forces are, however, much weaker than for graphite, and the mechanism of friction may be different. With molecularly smooth mica surfaces, the coefficient of friction is very dependent on load and may rise to extremely high values at small loads [4] at normal loads and in the presence of air, n drops to a near normal level. 

Hardy s explanation that the small coefficients of friction observed under boundary lubrication conditions were due to the reduction in the force fields between the surfaces as a result of adsorbed films is undoubtedly correct in a general way. The explanation leaves much to be desired, however, and it is of interest to consider more detailed proposals as to the mechanism of boundary lubrication. 

It is known that even condensed films must have surface diffusional mobility Rideal and Tadayon [64] found that stearic acid films transferred from one surface to another by a process that seemed to involve surface diffusion to the occasional points of contact between the solids. Such transfer, of course, is observed in actual friction experiments in that an uncoated rider quickly acquires a layer of boundary lubricant from the surface over which it is passed [46]. However, there is little quantitative information available about actual surface diffusion coefficients. One value that may be relevant is that of Ross and Good [65] for butane on Spheron 6, which, for a monolayer, was about 5 x 10 cm /sec. If the average junction is about 10 cm in size, this would also be about the average distance that a film molecule would have to migrate, and the time required would be about 10 sec. This rate of Junctions passing each other corresponds to a sliding speed of 100 cm/sec so that the usual speeds of 0.01 cm/sec should not be too fast for pressurized film formation. See Ref. 62 for a study of another mechanism for surface mobility, that of evaporative hopping. 

The theory coimecting transport coefficients with the intemiolecular potential is much more complicated for polyatomic molecules because the internal states of the molecules must be accounted for. Both quantum mechanical and semi-classical theories have been developed. McCourt and his coworkers [113. 114] have brought these theories to computational fruition and transport properties now constitute a valuable test of proposed potential energy surfaces that... 

The coefficients B, C, D, etc for each particular gas are tenned its second, third, fourth, etc. vihal coefficients, and are functions of the temperature only. It can be shown, by statistical mechanics, that 5 is a function of the interaction of an isolated pair of molecules, C is a fiinction of the simultaneous interaction of tln-ee molecules, D, of four molecules, etc., a feature suggested by the fomi of equation (A2.1.54). 

We have so far ignored quantum corrections to the virial coefficients by assuming classical statistical mechanics in our discussion of the confignrational PF. Quantum effects, when they are relatively small, can be treated as a perturbation (Friedman 1995) when the leading correction to the PF can be written as...

If these assumptions are satisfied then the ideas developed earlier about the mean free path can be used to provide qualitative but useful estimates of the transport properties of a dilute gas. While many varied and complicated processes can take place in fluid systems, such as turbulent flow, pattern fonnation, and so on, the principles on which these flows are analysed are remarkably simple. The description of both simple and complicated flows m fluids is based on five hydrodynamic equations, die Navier-Stokes equations. These equations, in trim, are based upon the mechanical laws of conservation of particles, momentum and energy in a fluid, together with a set of phenomenological equations, such as Fourier s law of themial conduction and Newton s law of fluid friction. When these phenomenological laws are used in combination with the conservation equations, one obtains the Navier-Stokes equations. Our goal here is to derive the phenomenological laws from elementary mean free path considerations, and to obtain estimates of the associated transport coefficients. Flere we will consider themial conduction and viscous flow as examples.

Because the number of grazing encounters is a fimction of the diflfiision coefficient, CIDEP by the RPM mechanism is a strong fiinction of the viscosity of the solvent and, in general, the RPM becomes stronger with increasing viscosity. Pedersen and Freed [39] have developed analytical teclmiques for the fiinctional fonn of the viscosity dependence of the RPM.
