Velocity expressions

The first requirement is the definition of a low-dimensional space of reaction coordinates that still captures the essential dynamics of the processes we consider. Motions in the perpendicular null space should have irrelevant detail and equilibrate fast, preferably on a time scale that is separated from the time scale of the essential motions. Motions in the two spaces are separated much like is done in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The average influence of the fast motions on the essential degrees of freedom must be taken into account this concerns (i) correlations with positions expressed in a potential of mean force, (ii) correlations with velocities expressed in frictional terms, and iit) an uncorrelated remainder that can be modeled by stochastic terms. Of course, this scheme is the general idea behind the well-known Langevin and Brownian dynamics.

For example, at n = 1200 rpm = 20 liter/sec and r = 0.5 m, the settling velocity in the centrifuge is almost 28 times greater than that in free settling. Note that the above expressions are applicable only for Re > 500. For small particles. Re < 2, migration toward the wall is laminar. The proper settling velocity expression for the gravitational field is... 

These two expressions follow from Eq. (229) multiply it by E (t), take the isolated system average, and do an integration by parts using the fact that K,1 = dS/dEi. The coarse grained expression follows by using it directly, and the terminal velocity expression follows by taking the x derivative. The thermal conductivity L x is obtained from the simulations as the plateau limit of these. 

With the surface-velocity expression known from the hydrodynamics, Equation 2 can be rewritten as... 

Thus in these equations for the steady-state, the convective terms are balanced by the transfer terms. Here the KLa value is based on the total volume Vx and is assumed to have the same value for each component. The linear velocities, expressed in terms of the volumetric flow rates and the empty tube cross-section, are for the gas and liquid phases... 

In other words, the velocity expressed as a proportion of the maximum possible velocity is... 

Note that in steady-state treatment, any of the pathways can be used to write the velocity expression. Either one of the two pathways linking X and X (see Scheme 7a) will yield the same expression ... 

Commonly, d [i /dt is referred to as the velocity of the reaction and denoted v. This reaction velocity expression captures the dependency of 6[i]ldt on [z] (see Fig. 17.16). Eq. 17-80 implies that the reaction velocity increases linearly with [z] (slope of kn [Enz]tot / KiMM) as long as [z] K,MM, and the reaction velocity is maximal (called Vmax = kE [Enz]Iot) when [z] is much greater than KiMM. Hence, Eq. 17-79 is commonly written ... 

Write the initial velocity expression v = k[EAB] — fc [EPQ], where the interconversion between the ternary complexes is associated with the rate constants k and k in the forward and reverse directions, respectively. 

Substitute appropriate distribution equations (e.g., EPQ/E0 and EQ/E0) into the initial velocity expression ... 

It should be observed that in all cases, even the linear Bingham plastic case, the resultant average velocity expressions are nonlinear relations between (v) and —dp/dz. This is true of all non-Newtonian constitutive relations. A direct consequence of this result is that the friction factor relation is also nonlinear. 

The settling velocity of bioparticles in centrifuges is given by Equation (1). In this equation, the angular velocity co is in rads-1. Equation (24) converts angular velocity expressed in rotations per minute (rpm) to rad s"1. 

In table n. C.I., the effect of various particle velocities, expressed as fractions of the gas velocity, on the specific impulse is illustrated for both complete thermal equilibrium and lack of thermal equilibrium. What is of practical interest is that thermal equilibrium between particle and gas is of far lesser importance than particle velocitylag. 

It was shown in Section 6.1 that a component focused at y = 0 by the velocity expression W-U --ay would form a Gaussian zone centered at y- 0. Equation 6.18 shows that the molecular diffusion coefficient D, yielding...

Plotting the velocity expressed as optical density per minute vs. substrate concentrations in the absence and presence of the three inhibitors yields the results shown in Figure 17.5.

We will now consider the response of the lowest-order flexural mode to various perturbations. For generality, we assume that there is some initial tension, Tx, in the plate. For simplicity, we assume that the plate is quite thin (d/A < 1), and so the approximate phase velocity expression of Equation 3.72 can be used as a basis for discussion. 

It has been shown [68,72] that when a semi-infrnite body of fluid contacts one side of a thin FPW device, the mass loading that the fluid produces can be described by simply adding an additional term to the mass per unit area, M, in the phase velocity expression of Equation 3.74 ... 

We can determine the velocity or flequency shift caused by such types of loading, which is in addition to the loading due to the liquid, by substituting into the denominator of the phase velocity expression of Equation 3.78 all the relevant masses per unit area that of die plate itself, M the equivalent loading of the liquid, pfSe, that of any selective biological or chemically soiptive layer, fnsorptive, und that due to the unknown itself. Am. If Am is much smaller than the sum of the other terms, as is usually the case when one is seeking the minimum detectable added mass, we can use the first term of the Taylor series expansion of the denominator of the square-root in the velocity expression, and write the approximate phase velocity as... 

The dimensions of flux are moles per square centimeter per second, and they are equal to the product of the dimensions of concentration expressed in moles per cubic centimeter and velocity expressed in centimeters per second.
