Equations (2.9), (2.10) and (2.11) are linear differential equations with constant coefficients. Note that the order of the differential equation is the order of the highest derivative. Systems described by such equations are called linear systems of the same order as the differential equation. For example, equation (2.9) describes a first-order linear system, equation (2.10) a second-order linear system and equation (2.11) a third-order linear system. 

For both of these cases, Eqs. (13)—(15) constitute a system of two linear ordinary differential equations of second order with constant coefficients. The boundary conditions are similar to those used by Miyauchi and Vermeulen, which are identical to those proposed by Danckwerts (Dl). The equations may be transformed to a dimensionless form and solved analytically. The solutions may be recorded in dimensionless diagrams similar to those constructed by Miyauchi and Vermeulen. The analytical solutions in the present case are, however, considerably more involved algebraically.

The mass balance with diffusion and first-order chemical reaction, given by (24-12), is classified as a frequently occurring second-order linear ordinary differential equation (i.e., ODE) with constant coefficients. It is a second-order equation because diffusion is an important mass transfer rate process that is included in the mass balance. It is linear because the kinetic rate law is first-order or pseudo-first-order, and it is ordinary because diffusion is considered only in one coordinate direction—normal to the interface. The coefficients are constant under isothermal conditions because the physicochemical properties of the fluid don t change... 

So far we have considered only cases where the potential energy V(ac) is a constant. Hiis makes the SchrSdinger equation a second-order linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients, which we know how to solve. However, we want to deal with cases in which V varies with x. A useful approach here is to try a power-series solution of the SchrSdinger equation. 

Here, too, the sought heat flow rate 0s(t) in the sample is connected in a simple algebraic manner with the measured temperature difference and its derivatives, and it can be obtained from the measured signal AT(t) by means of suitable electronic circuits or numerics. Equation (7.14) turns into Eq. (7.9) when l thi approaches zero. The apparatus Junction (see Section 6.3) can be obtained by solving the differential equation (7.14). This is a linear differential equation of second order with constant coefficients, and its solution represents the sum of the general solution of the homogeneous equation and a particular solution of the overall equation (see textbooks of mathematics). The solution of the homogeneous equation is a sum of two exponential functions ... 

The ODEs are linear with constant coefficients. They can be converted to a single, second order ODE, much like Equation (11.22), if an analytical solution is desired. A numerical solution is easier and better illustrates what is necessary for anything but the simplest problem. Convert the independent variable to dimensionless form, = z/L. Then...

The rate of reduction of Tl(III) by Fe(II) was studied titrimetrically by John-son between 25 °C and 45 °C in aqueous perchloric acid (0.5 M to 2.0 M) at i = 3.00 M. At constant acidity the rate data in the initial stages of reaction conform to a second-order equation, the rate coefficient of which is not dependent on whether Tl(III) or Fe(II) is in excess. The second-order character of the reaction confirms early work on this system . A non-linearity in the second-order plots in the last 30 % of reaction was noted, and proved to be particularly significant. Ashurst and Higginson observed that Fe(III) retards the oxidation, thereby accounting for the curvature of the rate plots in the last stages of reaction. On the other hand, the addition of Tl(l) has no significant effect. On this basis, they proposed the scheme...

In the expressions (184) and (184b) the second, temperature-dependent term defines the Born effect due to superposition of the two non-linear processes of second-order distortion and reorientation of permanent dipole moments in the electric field. Buckingham et al. determined nonlinear polarizabflities If and c for numerous molecules by Kerr effect measurements in gases as a function of temperature and pressure. It is here convenient to use the virial expansion of the molar Kerr constant, when the first and second virial coefficients Ak and Bk result immediately from equations (177), (178), and (184). Meeten et al. determined nonlinear molecular polarizabilities by measuring K in liquids as a function of temperature. 

Equation 3-56 is a linear, homogeneous, second-order differential equation with constant coefficients. A fundamental theory of differential equations states (hat such an equation has two linearly independent solution functions, and its general solution is the linear combination of those two solution functions. A careful examination of the differential equation reveals that subtracting a constant multiple of the solution function 0 from its second derivative yields zero. Thus we conclude that the function 0 and its second derivative must be constant multiples of each other. The only functions whose derivatives are constant multiples of the functions themselves are the exponential functions (or a linear combination of exponential functions such as sine and cosine hyperbolic functions). Therefore, the solution functions of the differential equation above are the exponential functions e or or constant multiples of them. This can be verified by direct substitution. For example, the second derivative of e is and its substitution into Eq. 3-56...
