Surface fractional

Cij = mean specific heat of combustion products from base temperature to leaving-gas temperature Te-C = cold-surface fraction of a furnace enclosure. 

Xs are surface fractions (or active centers), free and covered by chemisorbed species of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methanol. H, C, and M are activities of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methanol. Primes indicate equilibrium values. 

Rigorous treatment of the model assumed would dictate the use of a surface fraction, or "site fraction, in place of the volume fraction Vi. The site fraction of the solvent may be defined as the number of intermolecular site locations adjacent to solvent molecules divided by the total number of such sites for both solvent and polymer molecules. Thus, if the solvent consists of a single segment, its site fraction is... 

Electrochemical reaction rates are also influenced by substances which, although not involved in the reaction, are readily adsorbed on the electrode surface (reaction products, accidental contaminants, or special additives). Most often this influence comes about when the foreign species I by adsorbing on the electrode partly block the surface, depress the adsorption of reactant species j, and thus lower the reaction rate. On a homogeneous surface and with adsorption following the Langmuir isotherm, a factor 10, will appear in the kinetic equation which is the surface fraction free of foreign species 1 ... 

To illustrate the influence exerted by the energy of adsorption of an intermediate on the rate of an electrocatalytic reaction, consider a very simple two-step reaction of the type A —> X —> B where X, the intermediate, is reversibly adsorbed on the electrode (with a degree of surface coverage 9x). For the sake of simplicity, the electrode surface will be assumed to be homogeneous (i.e., conditions of Langmuir adsorption hold), while the system lacks adsorbed species other than X. The rate, of the adsorption step (the first step) is then proportional to the bulk concentration of the starting material, c, and to the free surface part (1 - 9x) (the part not taken up by species X), while the rate of further transformation of intermediate X, which is tied to its desorption, will be proportional to the surface fraction, 9x, taken up by it ...

It is argued that the kinetics of the limited coalescence process is determined by the uncovered surface fraction 1 - t and by the rate of thinning (drainage) of the films formed between the deformable droplets [46,47], The homogeneous and monodisperse growth generated by limited coalescence is intrinsically different from the polydisperse evolution observed for surfactant-stabilized emulsions. As noted by Whitesides and Ross [48], the mere fact that coalescence halts as a result of surface saturation does not provide an obvious explanation of the very...

The paddle mill was used to study the effect of surfactant type on a solvent-aqueous-surfactant extraction scheme for the recovery of bitumen from Athabasca tar sand. n the experiments of Figures 4,5 and 6, bitumen recovered from the surface phases was measured as a function of the mole fraction of ethylene oxide in the surfactant and as a function of the extraction step in which the surfactant was added. The results are reported as the % of the total bitumen present in the surface fraction. The amount of surfactant used was that required to give a final aqueous concentration of 0.02% (w/v), but in different sets of experiments the surfactant was added at various stages in the process. 

Fig. 4 gives the results for experiments in which all of the water used contained surfactant at a concentration of 0.02% (w/v). Under these operating conditions, maximal extraction occurred with surfactant containing 15—20 mol% ethylene oxide. This corresponds to an HLB of 7.6—8.0. The maximum value obtained was 22% of the total bitumen in the surface fraction (Makon 20). Fig. 5 gives the results for experiements in which"all the surfactant was added in a small volume of water at the beginning of the process, resulting in a much higher initial...

If the surface fraction of Si(s) were unity, then a fraction y of the collisions of SiH2 with the surface result in a reaction. However, for Si(s) coverages less than 1, the reaction rate decreases in proportion with the site fraction of Si(s). Any collisions of SiH2 with another surface species are not addressed by the reaction as written above. 

By combining Equations 4.21 and 4.22, it is possible to deduce an expression for 0O from which 0dH is eliminated. A second expression for 0O results from the combination of Equations 4.23 and 4.24, in which the coverage fraction of 02 is eliminated. Equalising these two expressions for 0O results in an expression in which, besides the coverage of H02 and the non-covered surface fraction (1-0), only accessible concentrations occur ... 

Now the computed values were obtained from an extrapolation of the distribution curve of surface fractions at different activation energies. We hence might accept a marked deviation in the distribution at low activation energies. The alternative would be an equilibration mechanism with a very low frequency factor that has no counterpart in the exchange. 

In the (aquatic) environment elements occur in particulate-, colloidal- and dissolved forms. These forms are usually distinguished by filtration or centrifugation. Traditionally, a 0.45 um (membrane)- filter separates the particulate from the dissolved forms. This may result in the passage of colloidal fractions through the filter, classifying colloidal matter incorrectly within the dissolved fraction. Although the interaction between dissolved and particulate (surface) fractions cannot be neglected, it is common in speciation studies to consider the "dissolved" fraction. The dissolved forms of trace elements are mainly present as ...
