Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model

890
Various dissolution theories provide insight into the factors that influence the dissolution rate. Danckwerts' Model suggests that turbulence, rather than a stagnant layer, characterizes the dissolution medium at the solid-liquid interface. In this model, the agitated solvent contains macroscopic packets that move to the interface via eddy currents, facilitating the absorption and delivery of the drug to the bulk solution. The regular replenishment of solvent packets maintains the...

Colloids and Suspensions

3.8K
Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles visible to the naked eye or seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. The suspended particles in a suspension settle out after some time of mixing. The separation of particles from a suspension is...

Typical Model Studies

668
Fluid mechanics model studies often utilize scaled-down systems to predict fluid behavior in full-scale environments, such as river flows, dam spillways, and structures interacting with open surfaces. Maintaining Froude number similarity in river models is crucial, as it replicates surface flow features like wave patterns and velocities.

First Law: Particles in Two-dimensional Equilibrium

16.9K
Recall that a particle in equilibrium is one for which the external forces are balanced. Static equilibrium involves objects at rest, and dynamic equilibrium involves objects in motion without acceleration; but it is important to remember that these conditions are relative. For instance, an object may be at rest when viewed from one frame of reference, but that same object would appear to be in motion when viewed by someone moving at a constant velocity.
Newton's first law tells us about...

The Debye–Hückel Theory of Electrolyte Solutions01:27

The Debye–Hückel Theory of Electrolyte Solutions

78
The Debye–Hückel theory, established by Peter Debye and Erich Hückel in 1923, is a fundamental concept in physical chemistry. It provides an understanding of the behavior of strong electrolytes in solution, particularly explaining their deviations from ideal behavior.The theory is based on Coulombic interactions (the attraction or repulsion between charged particles) between ions in solution. In an ionic solution, oppositely charged ions tend to attract each other. This means...

The Colloidal State01:29

The Colloidal State

69
The formation of a colloidal system is exemplified by an aqueous solution containing Cl− ions is introduced to another containing Ag+ ions, resulting in the precipitation of solid AgCl as extremely tiny crystals. Instead of settling out as a filterable precipitate, these crystals remain suspended in the liquid, showcasing a colloidal system.A colloidal system involves colloidal particles within the approximate range of 1 to 1000 nm in at least one dimension, dispersed in a medium called...

Area of Science:

  • Physics of living organisms
  • Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics
  • Mathematical biology

Background:

  • A unified mathematical theory is needed to understand universal principles in intracellular and multicellular dynamics.
  • Active matter systems, such as cell assemblies and biomolecular networks, exhibit complex ordering phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare two recent nonlinear high-order continuum models for active polar and nematic suspensions.
  • To assess the applicability of these models to collective cell migration and microtubule-kinesin network dynamics.
  • To explore the potential of a unified mathematical framework for describing diverse active systems.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of two nonlinear high-order continuum models.
  • Analysis of model phase diagrams.
  • Relating model predictions to experimental data for active polar and nematic suspensions.

Main Results:

  • Both models demonstrate satisfactory agreement with existing experimental data.
  • The study supports the hypothesis that diverse non-equilibrium pattern formation can be described by similar higher-order partial differential equations.
  • Phase diagrams of the models align with experimental observations in cell migration and microtubule-kinesin systems.

Conclusions:

  • Nonlinear high-order continuum models provide a powerful framework for understanding active matter.
  • A common class of partial differential equations may describe pattern formation across various active biological systems.
  • This research bridges theoretical modeling and experimental validation in biophysics.
