Reciprocal seconds

The SI units of frequency are reciprocal seconds (s ) given the name hertz and the symbol Hz m honor of the nineteenth century physicist Heinrich R Hertz The constant of proportionality h is called Planck s constant and has the value... 

The force is direcdly proportional to the area of the plate the shear stress is T = F/A. Within the fluid, a linear velocity profile u = Uy/H is estabhshed due to the no-slip condition, the fluid bounding the lower plate has zero velocity and the fluid bounding the upper plate moves at the plate velocity U. The velocity gradient y = du/dy is called the shear rate for this flow. Shear rates are usually reported in units of reciprocal seconds. The flow in Fig. 6-1 is a simple shear flow. 

Multiplying the wavelength of a wave in meters (m) by its frequency in reciprocal seconds (s-1) gives the speed of the wave in meters per second (m/s). The rate of travel of all electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum is a constant value, commonly called the "speed of light and abbreviated c. Its numerical value is defined as exactly 2.997 924 58 x 108 m/s, usually rounded off to 3.00 X 108 m/s. 

To illustrate the above point, take the set of largest values given for the diffusion coefficients found in Table 8, that is, 10-9 cm2/s for the stratum corneum, 10-7 cm2/s for sebum, and 10-6 cm2/s for the viable tissue, and convert them to cm2/h. Conversion of these from reciprocal seconds to reciprocal hours eventually leads to permeability coefficients that are more easily compared with literature values (P in units of cm/h) When these values are substituted into Eq. (7) along with... 

This equation is known as a rate law. It tells you how the rate of the reaction depends on the concentration(s) of the substrate. The order of the reaction is defined as the power to which the substrate concentration is raised when it appears in the rate law. In the preceding case, [A] is raised to the first power ([A]1), so the reaction is said to be first-order with respect to the A concentration, or simply first-order in A. The rate constant k is a proportionality constant thrown in so that the equation works and so that the units work out. Since v must have units of molar per second Mls) and [A] has molar units (M), then k must have units of reciprocal seconds (1/s or s ). 

The number of the moving electromagnetic waves that pass a fixed point in 1 sec is called the frequency of the light. Its symbol is the lowercase Greek letter nu, v. It is expressed in waves (most often called cycles) per second, or hertz (Hz). In mathematical formulas, the unit is reciprocal seconds (sec- ). 

Multiplying the wavelength expressed in centimeters (cm) by the frequency in reciprocal seconds (sec-1) gives the unit of speed, centimeters per second (cm sec- ) ... 

All values butanenitrile are in reciprocal seconds (s — C3H7CN, pentanenitrile — ). Acetonitrile = C4H9CN, benzene CH3CN, propanenitrile = C6H6. = C2H5CN,... 

The units for the reaction rate constant k when the reaction is of order n (different from the n power of T) will be [(cone)"-1 (time)]-1. Thus, for a first-order reaction the units of k are in reciprocal seconds (s-1), and for a second-order reaction process the units are in cubic centimeter per mol per second (cm3 mol-1 s-1). Thus, as shown in Appendix C, the most commonly used units for kinetic rates are cm3molkJ, where kilojoules are used for the activation energy. 

The number of times that an event or a periodic function repeats during a unit value of an independent variable, usually time. 2. For any periodic motion, the frequency, symbolized by r, is the number of repetitions (e.g., number of revolutions or cycles or oscillations of an electromagnetic wave) of some process occurring in a unit period of time. The SI unit for frequency, reciprocal second, is often referred to as a hertz (Hz). However, the term hertz should only be used in reference to cycles per second and not for radial (circular) frequency or angular velocity symbolized by (p (= 2777 ) and having SI units of rad-s h... 

The SI unit for frequency (symbolized by Hz) equal to reciprocal seconds. The term hertz should only be used... 

Cyclohexane = C-C6H12, c-CeHio = cyclohexene, 1,4-CHD = 1,4-Cyclohexadiene. In reciprocal seconds. 

For the sake of consistency and convenience, rates to products quoted throughout this review are given in terms of turnover frequency, defined here as the number of moles of product formed per gram-atom of metal per hour. This provides units of reciprocal hours, rather than the more commonly accepted reciprocal seconds. For the reactions described here, however, use of the former units affords numbers of a magnitude convenient for ready comprehension and comparison. 

Commonly used units are reciprocal second (s l or Hz) for frequency nanometre nm, I nm = 10 m) for wavelength IK = civ. where c is the speed of light) and ioule ( ) far energy. Because energy is frequently dealt with on a mole basis, the unit encountered is kl mol-1. Table 1.1 shows the relationship between these units for selected numerical values in the ultraviolet/visible/near-infrared range. 

Measurements of Viscosity and Elasticity in Shear (Simple Shear) Shear viscosity J] and shear elasticity G are determined by evaluating the coefficients of the variables x and x, respectively, which result when the geometry of the system has been taken into account. The resulting equation of state balances stress against shear rate y (reciprocal seconds) and shear y (dimensionless) as the kinematic variables. For a purely elastic, or Hookean, response ... 

The proportionality constant k is the rate constant. The rate constant is independent of the concentration of the reactant, but it can depend on other parameters, such as temperature or pH, and, as we shall see, it may be altered by a catalyst. It has dimensions of reciprocal seconds (s 1). Combining equations (3) and (4), we have... 

Therefore, the unit for frequency is reciprocal seconds (s 1), which is given the name hertz (Hz) in the SI. 

It is important to note that the units of the specific reaction rate k are no longer reciprocal second (s-1) but have changed to m3 s-1 kmol-1 because of the product of the two compositions. 

Expressing W in units of reciprocal seconds (s-1), AE in reciprocal centimeters (cm-1), and pei in atomic units (eao), the numerical value of the prefactor becomes 2.0261 x 10-6.
