Molecules diameters

Here, the actual thickness of adsorbed molecule layers /ad is obtained by multiplying n by adsorbed molecule diameter a0. The actual thickness range in which the fractal geometry is satisfied represents the length-scale cutoff range of fractality.116,118 Here, the value of the lower (inner) cutoff length tadjmfa is equal to... 

The lower limit of BET is set by the molecular diameter of the adsorption gas (Nj). Considering that the ratio of molecule diameter to pore diameter has to be lower then 0.2 for unrestricted excess [205], N2 (assuming a molecular diameter of 3 A) can penetrate all pores >1.5 nm. The upper limit of BET cannot be defined, as adsorption of N2 even takes place at a plain (nonporous) surface. 

The gas molecules fly about and among each other, at every possible velocity, and bombard both the vessel walls and collide (elastically) with each other. This motion of the gas molecules is described numerically with the assistance of the kinetic theory of gases. A molecule s average number of collisions over a given period of time, the so-called collision index z, and the mean path distance which each gas molecuie covers between two collisions with other molecules, the so-called mean free path length X, are described as shown below as a function of the mean molecule velocity c the molecule diameter 2r and the particle number density molecules n - as a very good approximation ... 

Therefore, the energy separation between 5 i and Ti is 1 eV. For Rydberg-type excitations, the separation is, as a rule, 0.1 eV for valence-type excitations, it is 1-2 eV [22]. The separation of 1 eV is in favor of valence excitations in agreement with the results of those quenching experiments in which the kinetic distance was found to be comparable with the molecule diameter (Sec. 3.1). 

Hydrate nonstoichiometry appears to be related to the ratio of the guest molecule diameter to the free cavity diameter. Nonstoichiometry increases as that ratio approaches unity. 

Example 9-10. Estimate the average value for the diffusion coefficient for oxygen and carbon dioxide in polypropylene with 50% degree of crystallinity at 30 °C. Use the corresponding molecule diameter o and the average Tg value of 267 K for PP. Calculate the corresponding permeability coefficient value using the solubility coefficient value determined in Example 9. 

The first type of relaxation processes reflects characteristics inherent to the dynamics of single droplet components. The collective motions of the surfactant molecule head groups at the interface with the water phase can also contribute to relaxations of this type. This type can also be related to various components of the system containing active dipole groups, such as cosurfactant, bound, and free water. The bound water is located near the interface, while free water, located more than a few molecule diameters away from the interface, is hardly influenced by the polar or ion groups. For ionic microemulsions, the relaxation contributions of this type are expected to be related to the various processes associated with the movement of ions and/ or surfactant counterions relative to the droplets and their organized clusters and interfaces [113,146]. 

Consider a molecule traversing the centerline of a tunnel whose diameter 2a is equal to twice the molecule diameter a (Fig. 3.3). The molecule will collide with all molecules whose centers lie within a distance a of the centerline of the tunnel and will miss all others. 

The second assumption consists in the fact, that the diffusion of water molecules clusters without consideration of the molecules OP-7 sizes is considered. As a matter of fact, this means, that in cluster of molecules H20 is assumed the replacement of one of these molecules on molecule OP-7. The clusterization of water molecules at interaction with polymer is a well known fact [5, 6], The estimations show, that in this case the cluster consists of three molecules H20 [6], The schematic representation of water cluster according to the data of paper [5] is shown in Figure 1. This scheme allows to calculate the largest size of cluster <7m 7,8 A allowing, that water molecule diameter is equal to 3,08 A [5],... 

The so-called mean spherical approximation (MSA) treatment of the solvation energy should also be mentioned. Within the frame work of that model the electrostatic energy of ions is given by a Born-like expression [25], where the effective radius of the ion is considered to be the sum of the ionic radius and a correction term which depends not only on the solvent molecule diameter but also on the dielectric permittivity. Thus, the effective radius is a function of the frequency of the electromagnetic field. 

From Figures 2 and 3 it can be seen that all the samples studied showed water adsorption. It must be remarked that samples CFK14 and CFK16, which do not adsorb CO2, even at room temperature, they adsorb water. These results are very interesting, because they seems to indicate that water molecule (molecule diameter of 0.28 nm) can assess the narrow... 

An interstitial solid solution is obtained when the solute (guest) molecule occupies the interstitial space (Fig. 4) in the solvent (host) lattice. For this to occur, the solute molecule diameter should be less than 0.59 times that of the solvent molecule therefore, the volume of the solute molecule should be less than 20% of the solvent molecule. Owing to their large molecular size, polymers favor the formation of interstitial solid solutions. Examples of this type include solid solutions of digitoxin, methyltestosterone, prednisolone acetate, and hydrocortisone acetate in the matrix of PEG-6000. They all exhibit a fast rate of dissolution. 

Whereas the number of paths in a molecule is bounded and determined by the molecule diameter, the number of walks is unbounded. However, being interested only in quotients, the walk count is terminated when it exceeds the maximum allowed length of the corresponding path. 

In Fig. 3 such relationships for n-octane and chloroform are presented. The relationships were determined at 40°C, namely when the monolayer can exist in a SC or LE form or be composed of SC islands surrounded by two-dimensional gas. The shape of Vs vs r relationship for n-octane may be interpreted as follows the first alcohol molecules deposited on silica gel surface block the most active centers on solid surface. This fact manifests as the retention volume decrease. However, from the surface concentration 1 nm up to 0-57 nm per n-octadecanol molecule the retention volume increases. The reason for this increase is probably the penetration of n-octane molecules into the rising structure of n-octadecanol chains. Let us assume that the n-octadecanol molecules are uniformly distributed on the silica gel surface. Therefore, at a surface concentration 0.57 nm per molecule the free spaces (0.38 nm in their cross-section) between them are formed, which are compatible with the n-octane molecule diameter. Then the maximum of n-octane retention volume is the result of a kind of molecular sieve effect. If the surface concentration of n-octadecanol increases and exceeds 0.57 nm per molecule, the... 

Polymer growth is initiated at the core molecule diameter controlled by growth control. 

While the fit to the data is satisfactory in both cases, inspection of the pore width distributions obtained for these and many other activated carbon samples reveals a disturbing similarity they aU show deep minima at regular multiples of the probe molecule diameter, particularly near 1 nm (3xXq) [21, 23]. This can be traced to packing effects inherent in the kernel function models that seem to be missing in the real data. Figure 7.10 shows how the pore fluid density as calculated by DFT varies with pore width, with density maxima near the pore width distribution minima.

The effective area of interaction is taken to be the area subtended by the surface of the vesicle between a closest approach to one water-molecule diameter and two such diameters. This area will be 5 X 10 /im for a vesicle diameter of 4 x 10 fim.
