Particle behaviour

Slurry reactors. For three-phase systems the definition of conditions at which (catalyst) particles are in motion is important. Two limiting states with respect to particle behaviour can be distinguished (1) complete suspension, i.e. all particles just move, and (2) uniform suspension, i.e. the particles are evenly distributed over the whole reaction zone. The power required to reach the second state is much higher, while uniform suspension is not often necessary. Circulation of the liquid with the dissolved gas is usually sufficiently fast to provide reactants to the surface of catalyst particles if they are suspended at all. 

The single particle behaviour is of major importance for the understanding of the macro-scale phenomenology [25]. 

The heat and mass transport on the small scale during char combustion is similar to the single particle behaviour. The char combustion products generated in the intraparticle phase (see Figure 56) enter the interstitial gas flow, which transport it out of the bed by convection.

The observations of wave and particle behaviour, and the statistical aspects of the quantum theory, are among the problems which may still leave the reader puzzled. This is an appropriate reaction, as some of the best brains of the twentieth century have grappled with such issues, and have failed to find a totally satisfactory explanation.

More complex measures of particle behaviour can be obtained by further analysis of PEPT data, as described later. 

Schrodinger and Bohm both accepted that quantum motion follows a wave pattern. To account for wave-particle dualism the interpretation of matrix mechanics, developed by Heisenberg and others, was extended on the assumption of probability densities. Schrodinger developed the notion of wave structures to simulate particle behaviour, but this model has been rejected almost universally and apparently irretrievably, in favour of proba-bities, arguably prematurely and for questionable reasons. Bohm s attempt to revive the wave interpretation advocated a literary interpretation of wave-particle dualism in the form of a classical particle accompanied and piloted by a quantum wave. 

The weird properties that came to be associated with quantum systems, because of the probability doctrine, obscured the simple mathematical relationship that exists between classical and quantum mechanics. The lenghthy discussion of this aspect may be of less interest to chemical readers, but it may dispel the myth that a revolution in scientific thinking occured in 1925. Actually there is no break between classical and non-classical systems apart from the relative importance of Planck s action constant in macroscopic and microscopic systems respectively. Along with this argument goes the realization that even in classical mechanics, as in optics, there is a wave-like aspect associated with all forms of motion, which becomes more apparent, at the expense of particle behaviour, in the microscopic domain. 

A second important law of photochemistry, known as the Stark-Einstein Law, follows directly from the particle behaviour of electromagnetic radiations.

Very little attention has been given to the identification of the chemical and physical properties of diet particles (Kolkovski, 2006a,b Holt et uf, 2011). Although these properties have a strong influence on both diet utilization and water quality, there are only a handful of scientific papers on leaching properties and even less on the buoyancy and the particle behaviour in the water column.
