Residence time control is an important indicator of micromixer design. When using vortex shedding to enhance mixing efficiency in a micromixer, the relationship between residence time and vortex shedding becomes important; if residence time is shorter than shedding time, the fluid elements flow through the channel too quickly with no contribution of vortex shedding to mixing. Both residence tim...

and anatase, but it does not sorb significantly to pure clay minerals or soil organic matter (Fordham and NorIn order to make sound decisions regarding arsenate contamination rish, 1979, 1983; Jacobs et al., 1970). Arsenate sorption in soil and water environments, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of arsenate sorption and desorption on soils and soil components ...

A component-functions model of choice behavior is proposed for performance on interdependent concurrent variable-interval (VI) variable-interval schedules based on the product of two component functions, one that enhances behavior and one that reduces behavior. The model is the solution to the symmetrical pair of differential equations describing behavioral changes with respect to two categorie...

A method is presented that uses the well-understood O2/Ax ion-molecule reaction system to determine the effective ion source residence time of a chemical ionization source. The process consists of: (1) defining the kinetic system in terms of reactions, reaction rates, and ionization cross sections; (2) solving the differential equations that describe the time evolu-tion of the kinetic system, a...

Stochastic dynamical systems arise as models for fluid particle motion in geophysical flows with random velocity fields. Escape probability (from a fluid domain) and mean residence time (in a fluid domain) quantify fluid transport between flow regimes of different characteristic motion. We consider a quasigeostrophic meandering jet model with random perturbations. This jet is parameterized by t...
