Particle continued rate change

In a saturated solution, an equilibrium exists between the rate of precipitation of solute particles and the rate of dissolution of solute particles. The rate of precipitation equals the rate of dissolution. The shape of a crystal of solute added to a saturated solution will change after a period of time at a constant temperature and pressure, but its mass will remain the same. The equilibrium between dissolving and precipitation is dynamic, a continuous process. 

Another possible scenario is that as a consequence of mass transfer only the number of primary particles changes, whereas their size remains more or less constant. This hypothesis seems to be realistic in the case of negative molar flux, J <0, or, in other words, in the case of shrinking particles. In fact, in this case it is more likely that the external particles will be consumed before the internal ones. The resulting expressions for the continuous rate of change of the two internal coordinates therefore read as... 

Temperature Effects During the condensation/evaporation of a particle latent heat is released/absorbed at the particle surface. This heat can be released either toward the particle or toward the exterior gas phase. As mass transfer continues, the particle surface temperature changes until the rate of heat transfer balances the rate of heat generation/ consumption. The formation of the external temperature and vapor concentration profiles must be related by a steady-state energy balance to determine the steady-state surface temperature at all times during the particle growth. 

The development so far is also based on constant a or on homogeneous cakes whose properties do not change with time or operating pressure. In fact, most cakes are compressible to some degree. As more fluid passes and more cake deposits, the older layers of solid are subject to frictional drag. The particles continue to move toward the filter surface and even to penetrate it, and the cake becomes denser in that direction. In other words, the cake is compressible, and the value of a varies. Significant cake compression is more likely in constant-rate filtration, where the pressure increases continuously. 

The substantial derivative, also called the material derivative, is the rate of change in a Lagrangian reference frame, that is, following a material particle. In vector notation the continuity equation may oe expressed as... 

Along with, and closely connected to, the developments in precise impact techniques is the development of methods to carry out time-resolved materials response measurements of stress or particle velocity wave profiles. With time resolutions approaching 1 ns, these devices have enabled study of mechanical responses not possible in the early period of the 1960s. The improved time-resolutions have resulted from direct measurement of stress or particle velocity, rather than from improved accuracy and resolution in measurement of position and time. In a continuation of this trend, capabilities are being developed to provide direct measurements of the rate-of-change of stress. With the ability to measure such a derivative function, detailed study of new phenomena and improved resolution and accuracy in descriptions of known rate-dependent phenomena seem possible.
