Nonisothermal moisture transport in wood
… content, temperature range, and species. The Soret coefficient, defined as - ( 1/M )( dM/dT ), was also calculated and was found to vary with the above variables as the dM/dT ratio. These two quantities always increased with wood moisture content. They were also slightly higher at the higher …

Advancing thermal field-flow fractionation for industrial polymer characterization
… applied field as well as the analyte’s diffusion coefficient (D). This imparts the ability for FFF techniques to be used as both a separation and characterization tool. In the case of flow FFF, the retention parameter is dependent solely on D which subsequently relates to hydrodynamic size. For …

The high temperature geochemistry of vanadium: From isotope ratios in ocean island basalt to thermal diffusion processes at the core-mantle boundary
… 1). The relationship between ionic size and Soret coefficient of trace element groups with different charge indicates the importance of valence state in thermal diffusion experiments; 2). XANES spectra of basaltic glass from graphite capsule experiments indicate that Fe and V are …

The synergistic role of light and heat in liquid-based nanoparticle manipulation
… strength, as well as the previously unknown Soret coefficients of azide ions were quantified. Transmission of laser beams through nanoparticle suspensions can lead to strong nonlinear lensing and soliton-like propagation effects. Literature has attributed these to redistribution of particles …

A Detailed Treatment of the Measurement of Transport Coefficients in Transient Grating Experiments
This thesis treats the measurement of transport coefficients in transient grating experiments and is organized into 3 parts. Part 1 provides a brief review of the thermodynamic-phenomenological theory relevant for a correct description of the Soret effect. It comprises the formulation of the first …
