The purpose of calculating Henry s Law constants is usually to determine the parameters of the adsorption potential. This was the approach in Ref. [17], where the Henry s Law constant was calculated for a spherically symmetric model of CH4 molecules in a model microporous (specific surface area ca. 800 m /g) silica gel. The porous structure of this silica was taken to be the interstitial space between spherical particles (diameter ca. 2.7 nm ) arranged in two different ways as an equilibrium system that had the structure of a hard sphere fluid, and as a cluster consisting of spheres in contact. The atomic structure of the silica spheres was also modeled in two ways as a continuous medium (CM) and as an amorphous oxide (AO). The CM model considered each microsphere of silica gel to be a continuous density of oxide ions. The interaction of an adsorbed atom with such a sphere was then calculated by integration over the volume of the sphere. The CM model was also employed in Refs. [36] where an analytic expression for the atom - microsphere potential was obtained. In Ref. [37], the Henry s Law constants for spherically symmetric atoms in the CM model of silica gel were calculated for different temperatures and compared with the experimental data for Ar and CH4. This made it possible to determine the well-depth parameter of the LJ-potential e for the adsorbed atom - oxygen ion. This proved to be 339 K for CH4 and 305 K for Ar [37]. On the other hand, the summation over ions in the more realistic AO model yielded efk = 184A" for the CH4 - oxide ion LJ-potential [17]. Thus, the value of e for the CH4 - oxide ion interaction for a continuous model of the adsorbent is 1.8 times larger than for the atomic model. 

This is the key result for application of the boundary-integral technique to interface dynamics problems. Let us first consider a case in which the interfacial tension is constant, i.e., gradvi/ = 0. In this case, if the shape of the interface is specified, then V n is known, and (8-209) is an integral equation for the interface velocity, u(x,v). Hence the problem defined by (8-199)-(8-203) can be solved as follows for a specified undisturbed flow, u Uoo as x - cxc. The drop shape is initially specified (usually as a sphere). The integral equation (8-209) is then solved to obtain the interface velocity, u(xs). Then, with u(x,v) known, we can use a discretized form of the kinematic condition, (8-20 lb), to increment the drop shape forward one step in time. We then return to (8-209) with this new drop shape, and again solve for u(xv ), and so on. This process continues as long as the interface shape continues to evolve. If there is a steady-state solution, and our numerical scheme is working properly, we should find that... 

It is evidently of interest to obtain an expression for computing the extent of association of free ions into ion pairs as a function of the concentration, the distance of closest approach, the dielectric constant, etc. The following discussion will be restricted to uni-univalent electrolytes for which 01 = — 02 = 1. To obtain the time average number of ion pairs for each ion of opposite charge it is necessary to integrate through the volume between spheres with radii, at, the distance of closest approach, and the Bjerrum distance, q. For this purpose it is... 

Evans [2] calculated the expectancy of the Poisson probability distribution for the constant propagation rate of domains and two simple nucleation modes instantaneous and spontaneous with the constant rate, F i) = B. Billon et al. [13] extended this approach to the case of time-dependent nucleation rate. According to the Evans theory, an arbitrarily chosen point A can be reached before time t by growing spheres nucleated around it in a distance r (precisely in a distance within the interval (r, r + dr)) before time t - rIG their number is equal to an integral of the nucleation rate F(t) over the time interval (0, t - r/G), multiplied by the considered volume, Artr dr. The total number of spheres occluding the point A until time t is calculated by second integration, over a distance ...
