Thin film theory

A model of such structures has been proposed that captures transport phenomena of both substrates and redox cosubstrate species within a composite biocatalytic electrode.The model is based on macrohomo-geneous and thin-film theories for porous electrodes and accounts for Michaelis—Menton enzyme kinetics and one-dimensional diffusion of multiple species through a porous structure defined as a mesh of tubular fibers. In addition to the solid and aqueous phases, the model also allows for the presence of a gas phase (of uniformly contiguous morphology), as shown in Figure 11, allowing the treatment of high-rate gas-phase reactant transport into the electrode. 

All of the thin-film theories, approximate and exact, are restricted to the description of developing boundary layers that have not penetrated to the channel center line. For our experiments at large extraction ratios (E>0.3), the boundary layer is believed to be fully-developed, i.e., the center line concentra-... 

This general and useful equation is identical in form to Equation 14 given earlier for the special case of thin film theory. The modulus (C /C, ) , is given by any of the Equations 15 through 17 or 20. ItSas sRown to be accurate within 10% for R = 0.8 with Pe as large as 74 (10) as compared with exact theories for the developing region. Now, for imperfect membranes, the critical extraction ratio can be defined as that value for E which causes... 

The boundary-layer theory used here to correct observed rejection coefficients is an improvement over thin-film theory, but it ag ears limited to filtrate velocities, J, below about 0.5 X 10 cm/sec for highly rejected solutes. Xn exact theory for incomplete rejection by hollow fibers is needed to define the validity of Equation 23, over the range of conditions of the experiments. 

We shall see that there are certain generic features of the thin-film approximation that have already been illustrated by the journal-bearing analysis, which will appear whenever the thin-film approximation is used. The most significant feature of the journal-bearing analysis, which is shared by all thin-film theories, is the assumption that velocity gradients in the direction parallel to the boundaries are asymptotically small compared with those... 

The comparison with experimental results from Huppert s paper is shown in Fig. 6-3. The predictive power of the thin-film theory is obviously very good for this problem.

With considering concentration polarization effects, the performance of osmosis process can be predicted. There are generally two dominant theoretical models for osmosis phenomena, the thin-film theory and the convection-diffusion theory, which are separately elaborated as follow.

An additional simple approximate analytical solution is available in the so-called thin film" theory near the diffusion limit when the Damkohler number (kb m/DA) representing the ratio of diffusion time to reaction time approaches zero. Smith et al. (1973) have obtained the following estimate of the facilitation ratio by a power series expansion ... 

The thin film theory developed in Subsection 5.6.a is directly applicable to the design of interference filters and Fabry-Perot interferometers. These devices are similar in concept and, therefore, are treated together. The normalized reflected amplitude for a three layer film of refractive indices 2, and no [see Eq. (5.6.21)] is applied first...

Dukler Theory The preceding expressions for condensation are based on the classical Nusselt theoiy. It is generally known and conceded that the film coefficients for steam and organic vapors calculated by the Nusselt theory are conservatively low. Dukler [Chem. Eng. Prog., 55, 62 (1959)] developed equations for velocity and temperature distribution in thin films on vertical walls based on expressions of Deissler (NACA Tech. Notes 2129, 1950 2138, 1952 3145, 1959) for the eddy viscosity and thermal conductivity near the solid boundaiy. According to the Dukler theoiy, three fixed factors must be known to estabhsh the value of the average film coefficient the terminal Reynolds number, the Prandtl number of the condensed phase, and a dimensionless group defined as follows ... 

The theory of seaweed formation does not only apply to solidification processes but in fact to the completely different phenomenon of a wettingdewetting transition. To be precise, this applies to the so-called partial wetting scenario, where a thin liquid film may coexist with a dry surface on the same substrate. These equations are equivalent to the one-sided model of diffusional growth with an effective diffusion coefficient which depends on the viscosity and on the thermodynamical properties of the thin film. 

Some years later a more thorough discussion of the motion of pairs of electrons in a metal was given by Cooper,7 as well as by Abrikosov8 and Gor kov,9 who emphasized that the effective charge in superconductivity is 2e, rather than e. The quantization of flux in units hc/2e in superconducting metals has been verified by direct experimental measurement of the magnetic moments induced in thin films.10 Cooper s discussion of the motion of electron pairs in interaction with phonons led to the development of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory, which has introduced great clarification in the field of superconductivity.2...
