TLDR
The solution of the general equations should be established as rigorously as the present knowledge of the fundamental law permits ; the solution of these equations may, however, be obtained by approximations suited to the case.Abstract:
THE problem of formulating a rigorous mathematical description of the molecular motion in .liquids has always been regarded as much more difficult than that of the kinetic theory of gases or of solids, because one has the simplifying features of low density in the case of gases, and of a regular lattice structure in the case of solids, while the molecules of a liquid are in a dense and disordered state. It is clear that only approximate solutions may be expected ; but, in introducing the approximations, we think that the following principle should be accepted. The general equations should be established as rigorously as the present knowledge of the fundamental law permits ; the solution of these equations may, however, be obtained by approximations suited to the case.read more

Influence of disjoining pressure on the stability of a liquid layer on a hard spherical core with respect to the self-charge
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the critical value of the Rayleigh parameter characterizing the stability of a thin charged layer of liquid on the surface of a hard spherical core increases rapidly as the thickness of the layer decreases.

Morphological Modelling and Transport Properties of Mesoporous Alumina
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-scale random set model of 3D nano-structures of mesoporous alumina was developed based on 2D TEM images and a refined three-scale model was proposed to simulate porosimetry isotherms in general porous media.

Crystal statistics. I. A two-dimensional model with an order-disorder transition
TL;DR: In this article, the eigenwert problem involved in the corresponding computation for a long strip crystal of finite width, joined straight to itself around a cylinder, is solved by direct product decomposition; in the special case $n=\ensuremath{\infty}$ an integral replaces a sum.

On the determination of molecular fields. —II. From the equation of state of a gas
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a molecular model of the same type will also explain available experimental data concerning the equation of state of a gas, and if so, whether the results so obtained, when taken in conjunction with those obtained from viscosity, will definitely fix the molecular field.
