Effect of Oxygen on Reaction Rate. To ascertain the effect of oxygen on the reaction rate, steady state experiments were performed at a constant Pgg of 2.3-2.4 kPa. The partial pressure of oxygen was varied in the range of 0.8 to 6.3 kPa. To obtain the reaction rate at a particular P()2> various runs were conducted at different values of W/Fgg. Figure 1 shows the results of some such experiments. 

The oxidative treatment leads to an initial disordered set of oscillations at increased activity. After some period of time the regular oscillations are restored. The reductive treatment resulted in a low-rate steady-state regime. The oscillatory behavior can be restored only by oxidative treatment. 

This equation forms the basis for the linear plot of R versus R/(Cp)ss, as seen in Fig. 15.9, with a slope of -iCm and a y-axis intercept of Vniax- In practice, two pairs of infusion-rate, steady-state drug concentration data will suffice to define the straight line of this piot and evaluate Knav... 

Figure 3.7 shows the water balanee for the STR PEM fuel cell based on Eq. (3.1). Water production is equal to half the current density as given by the left-hand side of Eq. (3.1). Water removal is by convection of water exiting the fuel cell, which is the right-hand side of Eq. (3.1). Because the membrane resistance decreases exponentially with water activity, the proton current is a sigmoidal function of membrane water activity. The water removal plotted as a function of water activity is a straight line, whose slope increases with temperature and reactant flow rate. Steady state is represented by the intersections of the water production and the water removal curves. 

Various rate-determining steps are possible such as the net electron transfer, the diffusive and convective transport, the formation of a new phase at the electrode (crystals, amalgams, bubbles), the adsorption of electroactive substance and/or products at the electrode as well as chemical reactions that can be coupled with the electron transfer. If the diffusion transport and the charge transfer have comparable reaction rates steady state is achieved and characterized by the independence of the current on time.

Solids of different classes, including polymers, are characterized typically with a complex non-uniform structure on various morphological levels and the presence of different local defects. The theoretical approaches describe the deformation of solid polymers via local defects in the form of dislocations (or dislocation analogies ) and disclinations, or in terms of dislocation-disclination models even for non-crystalline polymers [271-275, 292]. In principle, this presumes the localized character and jump-like evolution of polymer deformation at various levels. Meantime, the structural heterogeneity and localized microdeformation processes revealed in solids by microscopic or diffraction methods, could not be discerned typically in the mechanical (stress-strain or creep) curves obtained by the traditional techniques. This supports the idea of deformation as a monotonic process with a smoothly varying rate. Creep process has been investigated in the numerous studies in terms of average rates (steady-state creep). For polymers, as the exclusion.

All parameters depend on the time and the shear rate. Steady-state conditions are obtained for t — CO. Variable (°, ) denotes the steady state values of the shear stress. The anisotropic character of the flowing solutions give rise to additional stress components, which are different in all three principal directions. This phenomenon is called the Weissenberg effect, or the normal stress phenomenon. From a physical point of view, it means that all diagonal elements of the stress tensor deviate from zero. It is convenient to express the mechanical anisotropy of the flowing solutions by the first and second normal stress difference ...
