Sketch f(y) versus y. Show that y is increasing as a function of t for y < 1 and also for y > 1. The phase line has upward-pointing arrows both below and above y = 1. Thus solutions below the equilibrium solution approach it, and those above it grow farther away. Therefore, ϕ(t) = 1 is semistable.
Given V = x2i + y2j + z2k, integrate V · n dσ over the whole surface of the cube of side 1 with four of its vertices at (0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 1), (0, 1, 0), (1, 0, 0). Evaluate the same integral by means of the divergence theorem.
Consider two immiscible liquids such as water and oil. If a spherical oil molecule of radius r is taken out of the oil phase and placed in the water phase, the unfavorable energy of this transfer is proportional to the area of the solute (oil) molecule newly exposed to the solvent (water) multiplied by the interfacial energy, i, of the oil-water interface. The interfacial energy of the bulk cyclohexane-water interface is i = 50 mJ m-2, and the radius of a cyclohexane molecule is 0.28 nm. Using Boltzmann distribution, estimate the solubility of cyclohexane in water at 25 C in units of mol L-1.The concentration of water in water phase is 55.5 mol L-1.
