Transport properties mass conductivity

To prepare the FRP composite, the respective fiber is embedded in a polymer matrix mostly thermoset or thermoplastic resins. The role of the matrix is (i) to bind the fibers together, (ii) to transfer stresses between fibers, and (iii) to protect them against environmental attack and damage due to mechanical abrasion. The matrix also controls the processability, the maximum service temperatures, as well as the flammability and corrosion resistance of FRP. Most FRPs are made in order to improve mechanical performances such as elastic properties (modulus of elasticity) and ultimate properties (strength, toughness). To some extent and based on the choice of constituents, preparation of composites makes it also possible to tailor other physical properties, such as electrical conductivity, mass transport properties, heat conduction, etc. [49]. 

The Helfand moment is the center of mass, energy or momentum of the moving particles, depending on whether the transport property is diffusion, heat conductivity, or viscosity. The Helfand moments associated with the different transport properties are given in Table III. Einstein formula shows that the Helfand moment undergoes a diffusive random walk, which suggests to set up a... 

Occasionally, some residual homopolar bonds remain in metals, for example a small per cent of the molecules Li—Li, Na—Na, etc. are found in the vapours of these metals, analogous to the hydrogen molecule, but there is no trace of them in the solid state. The most characteristic property of metals, in which the smallest potential difference produces an electric current, is their electrical conductivity. Since no transport of mass takes place in a metallic conductor, a metal must contain free electrons, from which it follows that positive ions must also be present. The picture of a metal is thei efore one in which the lattice is composed of positive ions held together by electrons which move freely in the space between. It is as though the ions were cemented together by an electronic gas. 

The electrical transport properties of alkali metals dissolved in ammonia and primary amines in many ways resemble the properties of simple electrolytes except that the anionic species is apparently the solvated electron. The electrical conductance, the transference number, the temperature coefficient of conductance, and the thermoelectric effect all reflect the presence of the solvated electron species. Whenever possible the detailed nature of the interactions of the solvated electrons with solvent and solute species is interpreted by mass action expressions. 

In summary, there are many anion types which offer useftd properties for the creation of an electroplating medium. Choices must be made regarding electrochemical stability, relative hydrophobicity, the ability to coordinate metal salts and the mass transport properties of viscosity and conductivity. 

Due to the frequently observed chemical memory of a working catalyst, reproducible synthesis of the active mass with respect to all synthetic steps is a basic requirement. Moreover, an integrated approach requires the consideration of a catalyst as a hierarchical system taking into account mass transport and thermal conduction properties, as well as mechanical stability in the early stages of the development of synthetic concepts closing the cycle of rational catalyst design. 

After writing mass balances, energy balances, and equilibrium relations, we need system property data to complete the formulation of the problem. Here, we divide the system property data into thermodynamic, transport, transfer, reaction properties, and economic data. Examples of thermodynamic properties are heat capacity, vapor pressure, and latent heat of vaporization. Transport properties include viscosity, thermal conductivity, and difiusivity. Corresponding to transport properties are the transfer coefficients, which are friction factor and heat and mass transfer coefficients. Chemical reaction properties are the reaction rate constant and activation energy. Finally, economic data are equipment costs, utility costs, inflation index, and other data, which were discussed in Chapter 2. 

Remember that the constant of proportionality in Fourier s law was defined as the transport propert> thermal conductivity. Similarly, lire constant of proportionality in Pick s law is defined as another transport property called the binary diffusion coefficient or mass diffusivity, D g. The unit of mass diffu-sivity is m /s, which is the same as the units of thermal diffusivity ov momentum diffusivity (also called kinematic viscosity) (Fig, 14-11). 

The three transport properties of the greatest concern are the viscosity, thermal conductivity and mass-diffusion coefficients. In each case, although measurements had been conducted over a period of at least 150 years, it was not until around 1970 that techniques of an acceptable accuracy were developed for the relatively routine measurement of any of these properties. There is ample evidence in the literature of very large discrepancies among measurements made prior to that date. One reason for these discrepancies lies in the conflicting requirements that, to make a transport-property measurement, one must perturb an equilibrium state but, at the same... 

The thermal conductivity k is a transport property whose value for a variety of gases, liquids, and solids is tabulated in Sec. 2. Section 2 also provides methods Tor predicting and correlating vapor and liquid thermal conductivities. The thermi conductivity is a function of temperature, but the use of constant or averaged values is frequently sufficient. Room temperature values for air, water, concrete, and copper are 0.026, 0.61, 1.4, and 400 W/(m K). Methods for estimating contact resistances and the thermal conductivities of composites and insulation are summarized by Gebhart, Heat Conduction and Mass Diffiision, McGraw-Hill, 1993, p. 399. 

For simple approximations to intermolecular interactions, the kinetic theory of gases has been well developed for the computation of transport properties at low densities. Theory and theory-based correlations are reviewed in references [15] and [57]. If the molecules are modeled as hard spheres of diameter o and molar mass M, kinetic theory gives the following relations for the viscosity ti, thermal conductivity X, and diffusivity D of dilute gases ... 

Chaudhry [18] investigated the electrical transport properties of 3C-SiC/Si heterojunctions using current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics, and found the density-of-states effective mass of electrons in the conduction band of 3C-SiC to be 0.78 m0. This value is somewhat larger than Zeeman splitting, ECR and theoretical effective masses. 

The transfer of heat in a fluid may be brought about by conduction, convection, diffusion, and radiation. In this section we shall consider the transfer of heat in fluids by conduction alone. The transfer of heat by convection does not give rise to any new transport property. It is discussed in Section 3.2 in connection with the equations of change and, in particular, in connection with the energy transport in a system resulting from work and heat added to the fluid system. Heat transfer can also take place because of the interdiffusion of various species. As with convection this phenomenon does not introduce any new transport property. It is present only in mixtures of fluids and is therefore properly discussed in connection with mass diffusion in multicomponent mixtures. The transport of heat by radiation may be ascribed to a photon gas, and a close analogy exists between such radiative transfer processes and molecular transport of heat, particularly in optically dense media. However, our primary concern is with liquid flows, so we do not consider radiative transfer because of its limited role in such systems. 

The proportionality factor u, is a transport property, like thermal conductivity or diffusivity, called the mobility because it measures how mobile the charged particles are in an electric field. The mobility may be interpreted as the average velocity of a charged particle in solution when acted upon by a force of 1 N mol . The units of mobility are therefore mol N ms or mol s kg . The concept of mobility is quite a general one, since it can be used for any force that determines the drift velocity of a particle (a magnetic force, centrifugal force, etc.). The flux relation can also be expressed in terms of mass by... 

These tables give thermodynamic and transport properties of a variety of fluids, as generated from the equations of state presented in the references below. The properties tabulated are pressure (P), density (p), enthalpy (H), entropy (S), isochoric heat capacity (C, isobaric heat capacity (C ), speed of sound (u), viscosity (tj), thermal conductivity (A), and static dielectric constant (D). AU extensive properties are given on a mass basis. Not all properties are included for every substance. The references should be consulted for information on the uncertainties. 

The Flux Expressions. We begin with the relations between the fluxes and gradients, which serve to define the transport properties. For viscosity the earliest definition was that of Newton (I) in 1687 however about a century and a half elapsed before the most general linear expression for the stress tensor of a Newtonian fluid was developed as a result of the researches by Navier (2), Cauchy (3), Poisson (4), de St. Venant (5), and Stokes (6). For the thermal conductivity of a pure, isotropic material, the linear relationship between heat flux and temperature gradient was proposed by Fourier (7) in 1822. For the difiiisivity in a binary mixture at constant temperature and pressure, the linear relationship between mass flux and concentration gradient was suggested by Pick (8) in 1855, by analogy with thermal conduction. Thus by the mid 1800 s the transport properties in simple systems had been defined.
