Surfaces implicit form

The treatment based on the two-step sequence for nonideal surfaces originates from the complexity of deriving the explicit form of rate equations for other reaction mechanisms on biographical non uniform surfaces. At the same time models based on lateral interactions have no restrictions from this point of view as the implicit form can be and is used for the data fitting. 

If the implicit form of the surface is used, F x, y, z) = 0, the area element can be obtained by noting that the surface is the locus of points where F = 0. One then finds that the equation equivalent to Eq. (1.93) is... 

This form for the curvature for a curve on the surface can also be derived from the implicit form of the surface, F(x,y,z) = 0 by considering the change in the normal vector defined from Eq. (1.87) as one proceeds along the surface. Thus, if one moves along the surface a distance dr, the normal, h, changes by an amount ... 

The Stochastic Response Surface Method allows us to approximate function g X) if we have an implicit form. In the Stochastic Response Surface Method (SRSM), g X) is generally approximated by the following quadratic polynomial ... 

Impingement attack, as is implicit in the name, is a form of erosion-corrosion in which the solution strikes the metal surface at a high velocity—a situation that can occur at bends, tees and sudden changes in section in a... 

Surface carbon hydrogenation occurs through a sequence of hydrogenation steps in which CH, ads species are formed with increasing hydrogenation, rn, the rate of C ds hydrogenation, depends implicitly on hydrogen pressure. 

Because of the assumptions underlying its derivation, the Kozeny-Carman equation is not valid at void fractions greater than 0.7 to 0.8 (Billings and Wilder, op. cit.). In addition, in situ measurement of the void fraction of a dust layer on a filter fabric is extremely difficult and has seldom even been attempted. The structure of the layer is dependent on the character of the fabric surface as well as on tfie characteristics of the dust, whereas the application of Eq. (17-12) implicitly assumes that K2 is dependent only on the properties of the dust. A smooth fabric surface permits the dust to become closely packed, leading to a relatively high value of K2. If the surface is napped or has numerous extended fibrils, the dust cake formed will be more porous and have a lower value of K2 [Billings and Wilder, op. cit. Snyder and Pring, Ind. Eng. Chem., 47, 960 (1955) and K. T. Semrau, unpublished data, SRI International, Menlo Park, Calif., 1952-1953]. 

Equations 17.2 and 17.3 have the form of the Langmuir111 equation, developed in 1916, which describes the adsorption of gases on to plane surfaces of glass, mica and platinum. A number of assumptions is implicit in this development. As well as being limited to monolayer adsorption, the Langmuir equation assumes that ... 

This equation has an extremely important interpretation. In its differential form it means that, in two dimensions (with the x-axis lying in the plane of the interface between the solid and the fluid and the z-axis lying normal to the plane), if a pressure pjnc(x ) with implicit frequency dependence exp(iwt) acts along a strip in the y-direction at x of width dx, then the Rayleigh wave that is excited will propagate and the response in the fluid immediately above the surface at x will be... 

The potential E is also related to the faradaic current density by eqn. (18). Evidently, it is required to eliminate the surface concentrations, i.e. to find the solution of eqns. (19) for x = 0. Without derivation, we now give this solution, which is of the form of an implicit integral equation [28]. 

The choice for the transition state implicit in Kramers original paper,39 is the barrier top along the system coordinate q. The dividing surface takes the form f = q - q and the rate expression reduces to the so called one dimensional result... 

Modified Gouy-Chapman theory has been applied to soil particles for many years (Sposito, 1984, Chapter 5). It postulates only one adsorption mechanism -the diffuse-ion swarm - and effectively prescribes surface species activity coefficients through the surface charge-inner potential relationship contained implicitly in the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (Carnie and Torrie, 1984). Closed-form... 

To the best of our knowledge, this is the only free energy functional that can be readily introduced in an ASC implicit solvent model as it involves only surface integrals in terms of the independent polarization variable which is no longer a three-dimensional field, but instead assumes the form of a surface charge distribution on the dielectric boundary. 

Equation (3.21) shows that the potential of the mean force is an effective potential energy surface created by the solute-solvent interaction. The PMF may be calculated by an explicit treatment of the entire solute-solvent system by molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo methods, or it may be calculated by an implicit treatment of the solvent, such as by a continuum model, which is the subject of this book. A third possibility (discussed at length in Section 3.3.3) is that some solvent molecules are explicit or discrete and others are implicit and represented as a continuous medium. Such a mixed discrete-continuum model may be considered as a special case of a continuum model in which the solute and explicit solvent molecules form a supermolecule or cluster that is embedded in a continuum. In this contribution we will emphasize continuum models (including cluster-continuum models). 

In passing it is noted that choosing the same y° for protons and hydro>grls is a good approximation if only the proton, with its negligible size, is charge-determining. The assumption is poorer when the more bulky OH ion would adsorb as such. It is implicit in the use of Boltzmann s law in the form [3.5.4] that activity corrections are assumed identical in the bulk and on the surface. Hence, in this approximation the x s in (3.6.411 may be either interpreted as activities or as concentrations. Therefore, within the present approximations.
