We generalize the inverse patchy colloid model that was originally developed for heterogeneously charged particles with two identical polar patches and an oppositely charged equator to a model that can have a considerably richer surface pattern. Based on a Debye-Hückel framework, we propose a coarse-grained description of the effective pair interactions that is applicable to particles with an a...

This study recommends a non-grinding measurement method of leaf pH which can reduce the destructive interference to measured fresh-leaf values. To verify accuracy this method, we with and grinding further assessed dilution effect on in process. Compared significantly increased value; decreasing leaf–water ratio procedure but gradually stabilized. The effects severe physical damage thereafter ox...

Free energy of water aerosol plasma was calculated using the Debye–Hückel method. It established that free energies droplets, ions and simultaneously all charged particles had local minima (metastable states) at certain concentrations charges particles. The calculation results were confirmed by experimental data taken from literature on a droplet cluster in vapor structures fog. possible connec...

Thermal characteristics of pressure-driven, power-law fluid flows through narrow confinements are analyzed following a semi-analytical approach, by taking into consideration the electrokinetic effects beyond the Debye-Hückel limit. The influence of the induced streaming potential on the flow velocity, temperature and Nusselt number are delineated for parametric variations of the ionic Peclet nu...

New model equations are derived for dynamics of self-aggregation of finite-size particles. Differences from standard Debye-Hückel [1] and Keller-Segel [2] models are: a) the mobility μ of particles depends on the locally-averaged particle density and b) linear diffusion acts on that locally-averaged particle density. The cases both with and without diffusion are considered here. Surprisingly, t...

In solutions of the charged semirigid biopolymer hyaluronic acid in salt-free conditions, the diffusion coefficient D(NSE) measured at high transfer momentum q by neutron spin echo is more than an order of magnitude smaller than that determined by dynamic light scattering, D(DLS). This behavior contrasts with neutral polymer solutions. With increasing salt content, D(DLS) approaches D(NSE), whi...

To understand the range of close-to-classical critical behavior seen in various electrolytes, generalized Debye-Hückel theories (that yield density correlation functions) are applied to the restricted primitive model of equisized hard spheres. The results yield a Landau-Ginzburg free-energy functional for which the Ginzburg criterion can be explicitly evaluated. The predicted scale of crossover...

the solubility of co2 in the primary, secondary, tertiary and sterically hindered amine aqueous solutions at various conditions was studied. in the present work, the modified kent-eisenberg (m-ke), the extended debye-hückel (e-dh) and the pitzer models were employed to study the solubility of co2 in amine aqueous solutions. two explicit equations are presented to evaluate the concentration of h...

Screened potential, modified by non standard electron cloud distributions responsible for the shielding effect on fusion of reacting nuclei in astrophysical plasmas, is derived. The case of clouds with depleted tails in space coordinates is discussed. The modified screened potential is obtained both from statistical mechanics arguments based on fluctuations of the inverse of the Debye-Hückel ra...
