Detailed analysis of the results published by Casper and Schulz 2) and measurements with the new chromatograph mentioned above 3) have shown that irrevesible thermodynamics, including two different kinetic effects, has to be applied to explain the resolution of the PDC-column 4 5 9) and to obtain the MWD of narrowly distributed polystyrene samples 6 8). In this way, not only the MWD is obtained, but also kinetic constants and thermodynamic functions of the polymer transfer between sol and gel, as well as hydrodynamic and kinetic spreading parameters of the system investigated, can be calculated from PDC-measurements performed at different constant column temperatures, with the same sample injected. The usual static quantities (such as the exponent of the partition function, ratio of the gel/sol volumes, etc.) proposed by Casper and Schulz can then be obtained by extrapolating the results to the theta temperature of the system. In addition, spreading phenomena alone can directly be...

Typical dependences of spread parameters on concentration are shown in Figure 12. Certain large discrepancies in relaxation times between the results obtained by the Harris group and the Pottel and Hasted groups are shown in Figure 13. 

Microwave measurements have established with some high degree of probability that a small spread of relaxation times is exhibited by pure water. According to the Cole-Cole equation, the region between the static permittivity and the infinite frequency permittivity is spanned by the complex permittivity e, as defined in equation (13), where t is the principal relaxation time and a the spread parameter w = 2itv is the radial e = (Co - c )/tl + (j OT) -"] (13)... 

There is likewise very little doubt (> 99% certainty) that the spread of relaxation times is real. Moreover, as well as can be seen, the spread parameter a is temperature-independent. Its interpretation is still open to question.

Puff models such as that in Reference 5 use Gaussian spread parameters, but by subdividing the effiuent into discrete contributions, they avoid the restrictions of steady-state assumptions that limit the plume models just described. A recently documented application of a puff model for urban diffusion was described by Roberts et al, (19). It is capable of accounting for transient conditions in wind, stability, and mixing height. Continuous emissions are approximated by a series of instantaneous releases to form the puffs. The model, which is able to describe multiple area sources, has been checked out for Chicago by comparison with over 10,000 hourly averages of sulfur dioxide concentration. 

S is sometimes called spreading parameter, or spreading coejficient, terms that are less precise. lUPAC has proposed the symbol a, but we prefer the S because it is very common and because a will be needed for the surface charge density in charged monolayers. 

Recall that we prefer the term spreading tension over the less precise spreading coefficient and spreading parameter. Our spreading tension is also known as work of spreading,... 

Note that, while the spread parameter crj is the same for all terms in the summation, the conditional parameter 0-2,0, can depend on a. Also, the functional form used for 6 1 need not be the same as that used for ( -g- 1 could use beta EQMOM, while 2 uses Gaussian EQMOM). Although the form in Eq. (3.134) is not as general as that in Eq. (3.124), we shall see that it leads to a direct method for moment inversion that is very similar to the one used in the CQMOM. The bivariate moments found from Eq. (3.134) have the form... 

In this section, we present results found with the scalar-conditioned velocity algorithm introduced in the previous section using the NDF representation in Eq. (8.108). All of these calculations have been done with beta EQMOM using n = 2 nodes for the first quadrature and M = 50 nodes for the second. The initial NDF, where f e [0,1] is the particle volume, has one of two forms. In the first case, referred to as small spread, the NDF is represented by two beta functions, one near = 1/3 and one near f = 2/3, with a small spread parameter cr. The initial moments for this case are shown in Figure 8.28. As can be observed from this figure, the moments are nonzero only within the spatial domain x (-0.8, -0.2). Some statistics computed from the initial NDF are given in Figure 8.29. Note that the initial conditional velocity u(0,x,f) = 1 is independent of the particle size, and the mean and standard deviation of the volume do not depend on x. 

Q = spatially-averaged puff tracer concentration (kg m-3) cr = Gaussian spread parameters, expressed as a tensor of second moments (m). 

Analytic expressions for the Gaussian spread parameters cr may be derived from the Navier-Stokes equation, through the implementation of second-order closure approximations (Sykes et al., 2004).
