Parallel resistances

This can be limited by using a non-linear resistance called Metrosil across the relay, as shown in Figure 15.27. If voltage reaches a dangerous level, this resistance will provide a low-resistance parallel path to the current and limit the voltage across the relay to about I kV. The current / through the non-linear resistance is given by...

Fig. 3.16 Simulated impedance spectra (Bode plots) for the R(RC) circuit from Fig. 3.12c. The simulation includes a simple model that describes the bandwidth limitation of a (hypothetical) potentiostat. Several parameters are varied (a) the range resistor, Ri, (b) the depletion layer thickness W (c) the sample diameter ) (d) the resistance parallel to the space charge capacitance, Rsc- The series resistance Rs is fixed at 140 Q and Csc is calculated using Csc = (so Af h where Sr is the dielectric constant (25) and the surface area A is given by ll4nD.

The polymer surface must not be covered by an electrolyte film. The resistance parallel to the surface has to be as large as possible. This requires certain defect preparations, as shown in Fig. 7-57. 

Extensive research both in industry and academia has resulted in the innovation of porous membranes, which are gas fiUed, with much smaller mass transfer resistance. Parallel research on microporous membranes has adjusted the pore size and membrane hydrophobicity, again yielding a much smaller mass transfer resistance. However, modules with different geometries perform differentiy. Flow outside of, but perpendicular to, the fiber bundle offers reasonably fast mass transfer. Not surprisingly, this geometry is chosen in most of the commercial membrane degasification units. 

The Maxwell and Voigt models of the last two sections have been investigated in all sorts of combinations. For our purposes, it is sufficient that they provide us with a way of thinking about relaxation and creep experiments. Probably one of the reasons that the various combinations of springs and dash-pots have been so popular as a way of representing viscoelastic phenomena is the fact that simple and direct comparison is possible between mechanical and electrical networks, as shown in Table 3.3. In this parallel, the compliance of a spring is equivalent to the capacitance of a condenser and the viscosity of a dashpot is equivalent to the resistance of a resistor. The analogy is complete... 

The resistance to plastic flow can be schematically illustrated by dashpots with characteristic viscosities. The resistance to deformations within the elastic regions can be characterized by elastic springs and spring force constants. In real fibers, in contrast to ideal fibers, the mechanical behavior is best characterized by simultaneous elastic and plastic deformations. Materials that undergo simultaneous elastic and plastic effects are said to be viscoelastic. Several models describing viscoelasticity in terms of springs and dashpots in various series and parallel combinations have been proposed. The concepts of elasticity, plasticity, and viscoelasticity have been the subjects of several excellent reviews (21,22).
