Velocity molecule

Thus, effects of the surfaces can be studied in detail, separately from effects of counterions or solutes. In addition, individual layers of interfacial water can be analyzed as a function of distance from the surface and directional anisotropy in various properties can be studied. Finally, one computer experiment can often yield information on several water properties, some of which would be time-consuming or even impossible to obtain by experimentation. Examples of interfacial water properties which can be computed via the MD simulations but not via experiment include the number of hydrogen bonds per molecule, velocity autocorrelation functions, and radial distribution functions. 

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 ... 

Derive the root-mean-square (rms) gas molecule velocity. 

There are other ways of analyzing nonhydrodynamic contributions. Projections onto finite sets of velocity states, in combination with kinetic modeling techniques, have proved useful in the analysis of the small molecule velocity autocorrelation function. These techniques can also be used to calculate the rate kernel. ...

To determine the distance travelled between collisions, the mean-free path /, we must divide the mean molecule velocity by the collision frequency or, in other words, the mean travelling distance vdt by the number of collisions. Furthermore, we must find an expression for the collision frequency (v = z dt) and the mean-free time (r = 1/ v) ... 

Beyond its influence on IMS separation parameters for a fixed geometry, the gas temperature affects ion geometries. As ion-molecule collisions must be sufficientiy frequent for a steady drift, ions are thermalized their internal, rotational, and translational modes are equilibrated at a single temperature. At low E/N where the ion drift is much slower than the Brownian motion of gas molecules, relative ion-molecule velocities conform to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution and ion temperature equals T of the gas. 

At high E/N values where drift velocities v are not neghgible compared to thermal velocities of gas molecules, the distribution of ion-molecule velocities shifts toward higher values. For moderate v, the new distribution may be approximated by the Maxwell-Boltzmann formula at higher effective temperature, T ... 

Once more, differential IMS resides on the directed drift component shifting the ion-gas molecule velocity distribution to the right of Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution at gas temperature (2.2.2). As ions in gases are thermalized, the increase of translational ion temperature (Th) mirrors onto vibrational (2.5) and rotational (2.6) temperatures via inelastic collisions. While this inelasticity and dismption of alignment by rotational excitation affect the mobility of a fixed geometry (2.5.1, 2.6, and 2.7.2), internal heating may change the ion structure via endothermic isomerization, dissociation, or reactions with carrier gas components. 

With the equation for the mean molecule velocity presented earlier the mass flow rate M is... 

The common feature of all these equations is that the flow rate is inversely proportional to the root jR T (or the molecule velocity) and the viscosity plays no role. The slip velocity in the range 0.01 < 1 can be quantified by the equations... 

The predictive calculation of micropore diffusion coefficients is difBcult because the mechanisms which lead to a molecule transport are not sufficiently known. When the molecules preferably move in the fluid phase it can be assumed that the diffusion coefficient is a function of the molecule velocity and the width of the (zeolitic) micropores. Molecules will be adsorbed on the pore walls and have to be accelerated to return into the fluid phase. So far the transport mechanism is an activated process according to the relationship (Sehweighait 1994)... 

Residence time the residence time t takes into account the time in which each fluid element or molecule passes through the reactor and it depends on the molecules velocity inside the reactor therefore, it depends on the flow in the reactor. Residence time is equal to space time if the velocity is uniform in a cross section of the reactor, as in ideal tubular reactors. This situation is not valid to tank reactors, since the velocity distribution is not uniform. In most nonideal reactors, the residence time is not the same for all molecules, leading to variations in radial concentrations along the reactor and therefore, the concentration in the tank and at the reactor outlet is not uniform. That means we need to define initially the residence time and calculate the residence time distribution for each system. 

From this, it is apparent that there does not exist a molecule with a velocity of zero or with an infinitely high velocity. The location of the most probable velocity (maximum, Vp) is a function of the mean gas temperature. Moreover, the molecule velocity depends on the molar mass. The most likely velocity can be stated through... 

We now modify our model to include two-body intermolecular forces. That is, the force on particle 1 due to particle 2 is unaffected by the positions of particle 3, particle 4, and so on. This is a good approximation for gases, and a fair approximation for liquids. We assume also that the intermolecular forces are independent of the molecules velocities, so that they can be derived from a potential energy. With our assumption the intermolecular potential energy T" is a sum of two-body contributions.
