Diffusion Coefficients of Bolaform Electrolytes in Aqueous Solution

Sucrose diffusion in aqueous solution

The diffusion of sugar in aqueous solution is important both in nature and in technological applications, yet measurements of diffusion coefficients at low water content are scarce. We report directly measured sucrose diffusion coefficients in aqueous solution. Our technique utilises a Raman isotope tracer method to monitor the diffusion of non-deuterated and deuterated sucrose across a boundar...

Prediction of Activity Coefficients of Electrolytes in Aqueous Solutions at High Temperatures

A recently published model for the excess Gibbs energy of aqueous solutions containing mixed electrolytes (Lu and Maurer, 1993) is extended from 298 K to temperatures up to 573 K. The extension is achieved by introducing a universal relation for the influence of temperature on some model parameters. Although parameters are still ion specific, the influence of temperature on those parameters is ...

Numerical Solution of Stochastic Differential Equations with Constant Diffusion Coefficients

We present Runge-Kutta methods of high accuracy for stochastic differential equations with constant diffusion coefficients. We analyze L2 convergence of these methods and present convergence proofs. For scalar equations a second-order method is derived, and for systems a method of order one-and-one-half is derived. We further consider a variance reduction technique based on Hermite expansions f...

Low Rank Solution of Unsteady Diffusion Equations with Stochastic Coefficients

We study the solution of linear systems resulting from the discreitization of unsteady diffusion equations with stochastic coefficients. In particular, we focus on those linear systems that are obtained using the so-called stochastic Galerkin finite element method (SGFEM). These linear systems are usually very large with Kronecker product structure and, thus, solving them can be both timeand co...
