Primary Driving Force in Wood Vacuum Drying
… the total pressure difference is the primary driving force during the vacuum drying. The theoretical drying rates of diffusion, free water bulk flow and water vapor bulk flow were calculated and compared. The concept of equilibrium moisture content under the vacuum was developed. The …

Kinetic and Thermodynamic Aspects of Voltage as a Driving Force for Ammonia Activation
… industry, leveraging voltage as an alternative driving force to enable operation at mild temperatures and pressures. I then aim to answer the question “If I can apply mechanical energy (pressure), thermal energy (temperature), or electrical energy (voltage) to a chemical reaction, which should I …

Investigating the Effect of Heat Transfer Driving Force and Seed Loading on the Batch Eutectic Freeze Crystallization of a Dilute Brine
… even for dilute brines. The heat transfer driving force (ΔTLMTD) and ice seed loading (SL) are two operating conditions that are of interest in this work as they are linked to heat transfer; ΔTLMTD, directly by affecting the heat transfer rate and in turn the production capacity of a …

Victimhood as a driving force in the intractability of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: reflections on collective memory, conflict ethos, and collective emotional orientations.
… it is suggested that fear also represents a main force behind Israel’s 'hyper security,’ which is seen as the most destructive manifestation of Israel’s victimhood narratives. Second, it is argued that even though Palestinian and Israeli-Jewish victimhood narratives are socio-psychologically …

Exploring the determinants of chloride homeostasis in neurons using biophysical models
… receptors. As a result, changes to the neuronal driving force for Cl- are thought to play pivotal roles in many physiological and pathological brain processes. Established theories regarding the determinants of Cl- driving force have recently been questioned based on new experimental data. …

Molecular simulation of crystal growth in alkane and polyethylene melts
… has led to theory that models the thermodynamic driving force and its effect on kinetics. Phenomenologically, one observes a maximum growth rate at a temperature intermediate between the glass transition temperature ... and the melt temperature ... This arises as a competition between a …

The kinetics of growth competition during rapid solidification of ternary steel alloys
… successfully modeled. Alloys with equal thermal driving force for growth during secondary recalescence but different solute concentrations were selected and compared. The growth velocity of stable -y into the metastable [delta]/l semi-solid (Vss ) was confirmed to be independent of undercooling …

Ice scaling in continuous eutectic freeze crystallization
… a mechanical scraping device. The effect of the driving force for heat transfer, scraper speed and the solute type and concentration of inorganic electrolyte impurities in a binary eutectic Na₂SO₄-H₂O system was investigated. Induction time decreased with an increase in the driving force for heat …
