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

Phase transformations in metals and alloys
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the properties of phase diagrams for single-component systems, including the influence of interfaces on the equilibrium of binary solutions in Heterogeneous Systems (Heterogeneous Binary Phase Diagrams).
Journal ArticleDOI
Heating magnetic fluid with alternating magnetic field
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed analytical relationships and computations of power dissipation in magnetic fluid (ferrofluid) subjected to alternating magnetic field and showed that the dissipation results from the orientational relaxation of particles having thermal fluctuations in a viscous medium.

Pre-nucleation clusters as solute precursors in crystallisation
TL;DR: In this review, classical nucleation theory, as well as established concepts of spinodal decomposition and liquid-liquid demixing, is introduced together with a description of the recently proposed pre-nucleation cluster pathway.

Microfluidics: The no-slip boundary condition
TL;DR: A review of recent experimental, numerical and theoretical investigations on the subject can be found in this article, where the authors present a complex behavior at a liquid/solid interface involving an interplay of many physico-chemical parameters, including wetting, shear rate, pressure, surface charge, surface roughness, impurities and dissolved gas.

The Radial Distribution Function in Liquids
TL;DR: In this article, an integral equation for the radial distribution function for pairs in a liquid, and an approximate solution is effected for a system of ''hard spheres'' is derived. But the form of the function depends on a single parameter λ which can be related to certain observed physical properties of the liquid and to the diameter of closest approach.

On the Law of Distribution of Molecular Velocities, and on the Theory of Viscosity and Thermal Conduction, in a Non-Uniform Simple Monatomic Gas
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for a special case of a gas composed of molecules which are point centres of force varying inversely as the fifth power of the distance, the results of the law of distribution for such a gas do not correspond to the observed data of actual gases.

Joseph E. Mayer,S. F. Harrison +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for a system composed of N identical molecules with mutual potential energy, the assumption that the total potential energy can be expressed as the sum of that between pairs of molecules allows the derivation of simple, accurate formal equations for the thermodynamic properties of the system.

Theory of the Viscosity of Liquids as a Function of Temperature and Pressure
Raymond H. Ewell,Henry Eyring +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an equation for the viscosity of a liquid in terms of the energy of vaporization and the molal volume is developed from the reaction rate theory of viscosity due to Eyring.
