Rectangular slab

Analytical solutions of equation 9.44 in the form of infinite series are available for some simple regular shapes of particles, such as rectangular slabs, long cylinders and spheres, for conditions where there is heat transfer by conduction or convection to or from the surrounding fluid. These solutions tend to be quite complex, even for simple shapes. The heat transfer process may be characterised by the value of the Biot number Bi where ... 

C.19 Aluminum oxide, alumina, exists in a variety of crystal structures, some of which are beautiful and rare. Write the formula for aluminum oxide, which is a binary compound of aluminum and oxygen. The mass of a rectangular slab of aluminum oxide of dimensions 2.5 cm X 3.0 cm X 4.0 cm is 102 g. What is the density of aluminum oxide ... 

Develop a model and program for a rectangular slab geometry with diffusion from both sides and taking the thickness as Vbead/Abead=Rp- Compare the results for the slab with those for the bead. 

We obtain AM(He) from the data in Figure 8 and calculate Jcni(He) using the rectangular slab Eq. 13 where a = 0.62 mm and b = 0.040 mm. The result is shown in Figure 9 where the magnetization critical current density Jcm falls monotonically with increasing field strength. Actually, Eq. 13 must be modified for... 

The simplest case we shall consider is that of a first order chemical reaction occurring within a rectangular slab of porous catalyst, the edges of which are sealed so that diffusion occurs in one dimension only. Figure 3.2 illustrates the geometry of the slab. Consider that the first order irreversible reaction ...

The hot wall approach to the plasma-enhanced CVD system has been described in Chapter 3. A schematic of a typical system is shown in Figure 21. The elements of this system are similar to that of the cold-wall system just described. There is a gas panel, vacuum system, and an RF power supply to create the discharge. The RF frequency typically used is 400 kHz. The reaction chamber of such a system is shown in Figure 22. The electrodes are a set of several long narrow rectangular slabs of graphite with pockets cut into them. The graphite electrodes lead to some problems with particulate contamination, but attempts to use aluminum have not been successful. 

Equation (56) may be understood more easily by considering a thin rectangular slab of dielectric of volume Ah sandwiched between a pair of conducting plates. The polarizability of the slab, in a direction perpendicular to it, is defined in equation (48). A dipole moment in this direction implies a polarization of amount (MjAh). By the usual Poisson-type analysis we find that there is a negative potential gradient E = Pjeo in a direction opposite to P = (MJAh). The difference in potential between the plates will therefore amount to a = MJe A). The mean-square value of this voltage is given by... 

There has been a revival of the slab gel techniques originally used when starch was the principal support medium. For this type of electrophoresis, acrylamide is polymerized into a thin square or rectangular slab between two glass plates (11,12). Sample holes or wells are made at one end of the gel by placing a comb-shaped jig like that shown in Figure 6-12 into the... 

Once the area to be analysed has been identified, it is possible either to focus the probe on a specific point (the spatial resolution laterally and in terms of depth is then between 1 and a few micrometres) or to scan an area corresponding to a rectangular zone (the zone analysed is then a rectangular slab with the lateral dimensions of the scanned area and a height of between 1 and a few micrometres). 

In the simplest liquid-crystalline phase, namely the uniaxial nematic, there is at rest a special direction designated by a unit vector n called the director (see Fig. 10-2). In the plane transverse to the director, the fluid is isotropic. The most common nematics are composed of oblong molecules that tend to point in a common direction, which defines the director orientation. Oblate, or disc-like, molecules can also form uniaxial nematics for these discotic nematics, the director is defined by the average orientation of the short axis of the molecule. Lath-like molecules or micelles (shaped like rectangular slabs), in which all three dimensions of the molecule are significantly different from each other, can form biaxial nematics (Praefcke et al. 1991 Chandrasekhar 1992 Fialtkowski 1997). A biaxial...

Problem Lithium is a soft, gray solid that has the lowest density of any metal. It is an essential component of some advanced batteries, such as the one in your laptop. If a small rectangular slab of lithium weighs 1.49X10 mg and has sides that measure 20.9 mm by 11.1 mm by 11.9 mm, what is the density of lithium in g/cm ... 

To obtain a better perspective, consider the diagram of the work function developed by Lang [76] and depicted in Fig. 38. Take a rectangular slab of some... 

The rectangular slab gel is normally just a few millimetres thick, and is made of cross-linked polymeric materials such as polyacrylamide or agarose. The gel is mainly water (buffer), containing just a few percent (5-15%) of the polymer material. However, this is sufficient to give a relatively rigid gel (a stiff jelly) that will retain the sample after the experiment, but yet allows relatively free passage of macromolecules (and buffer) through the gel matrix.
