Application Of Porous Electrode Theory On Metal Hydride Electrodes In Alkaline Solution, G. Zheng, Branko N. Popov, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Porous electrode theory was applied to estimate the exchange current density, the polarization resistance, and symmetry factor for LaNi_4.27Sn_0.24 hydride electrode in alkaline solution. The exchange current density, polarization resistance, and symmetry factor were determined from polarization curves which were obtained at low overpotentials.

Galvanostatic Pulse And Pulse Reverse Plating Of Zinc-Nickel Alloys From Sulfate Electrolytes On A Rotating Disc Electrode, Branko N Popov, M. Ramasubramanian, S. N. Popova, Ralph E. White, K-M. Yin

Faculty Publications

Galvanostatic pulse and pulse reverse techniques have been used to study the plating of zinc–nickel alloys in the presence of nonyl phenyl polyethylene oxide. The effects of average current density, rotation speed of disc electrode and the presence of nonyl phenyl polyethylene oxide in the electrolyte on deposition of zinc–nickel alloys were evaluated. Zinc–nickel plating bath solution chemistry was studied by determining the equilibrium concentrations at various pH levels. It was found that the alloy composition was determined by solution equilibria, mass transfer of the electroactive species within the diffusion layer and by the surface coverage of nonyl phenyl polyethylene …

A Model For The Galvanostatic Deposition Of Nickel Hydroxide, Mahesh Murthy, Gowri S. Nagarajan, John W. Weidner, John W. Van Zee

Faculty Publications

A mathematical model is presented for the galvanostatic deposition of Ni(OH)₂ films in stagnant Ni(NO₃)₂ solutions. The objective is to quantify the anomalous deposition behavior reported previously in which the utilization of the electrochemically generated OH^– species decreased drastically as the concentration of Ni(NO₃)₂ increased beyond 0.1 M. For example as the Ni(NO₃)₂ concentration increased from 0.1 to 2.0 M, the deposition rate decreased by a factor of ten at 2.5 mA/cm². At this high ratio of concentration to current density, a comparison with Faraday's …

Analysis Of Transient Hydrogen Uptake By Metal Alloy Particles, Wenlin Zhang, Supramaniam Srinivasan, Harry J. Ploehn

Faculty Publications

This paper describes a new approach to solving the equations comprising the shrinking core model for diffusion and reaction of a chemical species in a solid spherical particle. The reactant adsorbs on the particle surface, diffuses into the particle's interior, and reacts with the particle to form a solid product. The shrinking core model assumes a fast reaction rate compared to reactant diffusion so that the reaction is localized in the interfacial zone between the unreacted solid core and the surrounding shell of reacted product. Analytical solutions of the governing conservation equations usually invoke the pseudo-steady state (PSS) approximation which …

The Ingram Vessel 38ct204: Intensive Survey & Excavation Of An Upland Rivercraft At Cheraw, South Carolina, Christopher F. Amer, Suzanne C. Linder, Mark M. Newell, William B. Barr

Research Manuscript Series

In 1993 and 1994 the Underwater Archaeology Division of the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology conducted an intensive survey of the remains of a small, wooden hulled craft in the Great Pee Dee River near Cheraw, South Carolina. The project was sponsored in part by the Cheraw Historical Society and partially funded by a grant from the South Carolina Humanities Council. The Ingram Vessel (38CT204), named after its discoverer Miller Ingram, lay overturned and largely buried beneath the river sediments and protected by a large mushroom-shaped rock just upstream of the site. The site was partially excavated and …

An Empirical Test Of The Rational Actor Theory Of Litigation, Donald R. Songer, Charles M. Cameron, Jeffrey A. Segal

Faculty Publications

This article examines the decisions of litigants in criminal cases to appeal decisions from the U.S. Courts of Appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court. Using a random sample of search and seizure cases from 1962 through 1990 and a measure of the likelihood that the appeals court decision will be reversed if cert is granted, we demonstrate that litigants behave as if they rationally consider costs and benefits in their decisions to appeal. Given the extraordinary number of cases decided by lower federal courts vis-g-vis the number of cases the Supreme Court can decide, we argue that such behavior is …

An Historical Critique Of The Emergence And Evolution Of Ernesto Che Guevara's Foco Theory, Matt D. Childs

Faculty Publications

This article provides an analysis of Ernesto Che Guevara's theory of guerrilla warfare, the foco. The numerous changes to the originalfoco thesis, as presented in Guerrilla Warfare (1960), are examined in detail covering two dozen articles, speeches, essays, interviews and books authored by Guevara, Castro and Debray while stressing their relation to national and international politics. The author argues that there was an apparent discourse between Cuban politics and the numerous changes in Guevara's writings. Juxtaposing changes to the foco theory from 1960 to 1967, to Cuban historical events, reflects the political expedience of the 196os and the primary …

Assessing Fundamental Power Differences In Exchange Networks: Iterative Gpi, Michael J. Lovaglia, John Skvoretz, Barry N. Markovsky, David Willer

Faculty Publications

Networks have been discovered for which Network Exchange Theory (NET Markovsky, Willer and Patton 1988; Lovaglia, Skvoretz, Willer and Markovsky 1995) fails to provide tenable predictions. Here we elaborate NET to create a more general method. We show not only when and where exchange networks break into simpler substructures, but propose rules to decisively classify networks and substructures as strong, weak, or equal power. In doing so, we advance general heuristics for power development in exchange networks and demonstrate the promise of an approach using reciprocal comparison of general heuristics, formal theory, and computer simulation.
