    About this ebook

    Mathematical Theory of Sedimentation Analysis presents the flow equations for the ultracentrifuge. This book is organized into two parts encompassing six chapters that evaluate the systems of reacting components, the differential equations for the ultracentrifuge, and the case of negligible diffusion. The first chapters consider the Archibald method for molecular weight determination; pressure-dependent sedimentation; expressions for the refractive index and its gradient; relation between refractive index and concentration; and the analysis of Gaussian distribution. Other chapters deal with the basic equations for three-component systems, the extension of the Archibald method to multicomponent systems, and the case of independent sedimentation and diffusion. These topics are followed by a presentation of the extrapolation procedures due to Oth and Desreux. The last chapters are devoted to the examination of the Johnston-Ogston effect and sedimentation with a differential boundary. The book can provide useful information to chemists, physicists, students, and researchers.
