Problem Stephan

The Stephan problem (problem of the phase transition). Subsequent considerations include two phases with the coefficients of heat conductivity fej(u), k. u) and of heat capacity Cj(r<), c iu), in either of which it is... 

The method of smoothing is available for solving the Stephan problem. As a matter of experience, this amounts to replacing the 5-function by a nonzero 5-type function 5(m — u, A), not equal to zero only on the interval ( — A,w + A) and must satisfy the normalization condition...

K. Stephan and B. Holzknecht [2.50] have solved the solidification problems dealt with in 2.3.6.2 in this way Unfortunately the expressions yielded for terms with i > 1 were very complex and this made it very difficult to calculate the solidification-time explicitly K. Stephan and B. Holzknecht therefore derived simpler and rather accurate approximation equations for the solidification speed. 

Finally the numerical solution of solidification problems should be mentioned, which due to the moving phase boundary contains additional difficulties. As we will not be looking at these solutions in section 2.4, at this point we would suggest the work by K. Stephan and B. Holzknecht [2.51] as well as the contributions from D.R. Atthey, J. Crank and L. Fox in [2.40] as further reading. 

The ion-ion and ion-water potentials are also expressed as Eq.(3.17). A problem is that there are no reliable values of the L-J potential parameters, ay and Sb, for ions. We determine these parameters so that they can give, within the framework of the RISM theory, a good fit to experimentally measured values both of the activity coefficients of the salt solutions and of the salting-out coefficients of argon (a noble gas) in the solutions. Since the e -values are calculable from the cr -values, ion polarizability, and total number of electrons of the ion using the Mavroyannis-Stephan theory [54, 55], we only have to determine the cTft-values. It has turned out that the cr -values for the ion-ion potentials must be different from those for the ion-water potentials to attain a good fit. The parameter set so determined is used to analyze the solvation properties of AGE (the a -values for the ion-solute potentials... 

Equations 7.47 and 7.50-7.53 form a full set for a Stephan-like problem with diffusion between two moving boundaries in a spherically symmetrical shell. A direct solution (even a numerical one) is complicated, due to the problem of changing grid. So, we propose below to change variables, making equations somewhat cumbersome, but fixing the grid... 

There are myriad ways to solve safety problems and almost as many analysis techniques with which to do so. This chapter describes other commonly used and accepted safety analysis tools. Of course, there are literally scores and scores more. In fact, the Systan Safety Society (Stephans and Talso, 1993) has documented 101 safety methodologies and techniques. A few of these safety techniques require at least a cursory explanation. 

Search individual safety associations and safety societies from around the world. Most of them have listings of safety data sources that are searchable, and their lists are very useful. The Electronics Industries Associations maintains a large database of electronic safety problems. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is another good source. The System Safety Society (Stephans and Talso, 1997) offers a long list of data sources that are found in general industry. 

Based on a comprehensive evaluation of the viscosity of 50 fluids (Stephan Lucas 1979) the MIDAS database for transport properties was founded at the institute of the authors in 1979 in order to overcome the above mentioned problems by providing users from industry, universities and other institutions with reliable, thermodynamically consistent data covering a wide range of fluid state (Laesecke et al. 1986). 

In view of the environmental problems such as the greenhouse effect and stratospheric ozone destruction, mainly caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), the database was extended to thermophysical properties of environmentally acceptable refrigerants (Stephan Krauss 1990).
