The System was established in 1963 by action of the President’s Office of Science and Technology and the Federal Council for Science and Technology. The responsibility to administer the System was assigned to the National Bureau of Stand- ards and an Office of Standard Reference Data was set up at the Bureau for this purpose. Since 1963, this Office has developed systematic plans for meeting high-priority needs for reliable ref- erence data. It has undertaken to coordinate and integrate existing data evaluation and compilation activities (primarily those under sponsorship of Federal agencies) into a comprehensive program, supplementing and expanding technical coverage when necessary, establishing and maintaining standards for the output of the participating groups, and providing mechanisms for the dissemina- tion of the output as required. The System now comprises a complex of data centers and other activities, carried on in Government agencies, academic institutions, and nongovermental laboratories. The independent operational status of existing critical data projects is maintained and encouraged. Data centers that are components of the NSRDS produce compilations of critically evaluated data, critical reviews of the state of quantitative knowledge in specialized areas, and computations of useful functions derived from standard reference data. In addition, the centers and projects establish criteria for evaluation and compilation of data and make recommendations on needed modifications or extensions of experimental techniques. Data publications of the NSRDS take a variety of physical forms, including books, pamphlets, loose-leaf sheets and computer tapes. While most of the compilations have been issued by the Government Printing Office, several have appeared in scientific journals. Under some circum- stances, private publishing houses are regarded as appropriate primary dissemination mechanisms. The technical scope of the NSRDS is indicated by the principal categories of data compila- tion projects now active or being planned: nuclear properties, atomic and molecular properties, solid state properties, thermodynamic and transport properties, chemical kinetics, colloid and surface properties, and mechanical properties. An important aspect of the NSRDS is the advice and planning assistance which the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences-National Academy of Engineering pro- vides. These services are organized under an overall Review Committee which considers the program as a whole and makes recommendations on policy, long-term planning, and international collaboration. Advisory Panels, each concerned with a single technical area, meet regularly to examine major portions of the program, assign relative priorities, and identify specific key prob- lems in need of further attention. For selected specific topics, the Advisory Panels sponsor sub- panels which make detailed studies of users’ needs, the present state of knowledge, and existing data resources as a basis for recommending one or more data compilation activities. This assembly of advisory services contributes greatly to the guidance of NSRDS activities. The NSRDS-NBS series of publications is intended primarily to include evaluated reference data and critical reviews of long-term interest to the scientific and technical community. A. V. Astin, Director. in Preface Now that chemical kinetics is approaching a certain level of maturity, with some of the field passing from frontline research to established applied science, its quantitative data should be tabulated in handbooks. Decisions must be made as to what to tabulate; suggestions have in- cluded: Empirical rate constants with defined order and regardless of mechanism, parameters of the Arrhenius equation or parameters of activated-complex theory, nothing but molecular transition probabilities or cross sections for identified changes of quantum states. The position taken in this review is that we should tabulate individual rate constants for elementary chemical reactions. I oppose basing handbooks on the other proposals listed above for the following reasons: Empirical rate data for an unanalyzed complex reaction are analogous to empirical thermodynamic data for an impure unanalyzed substance; the data may be useful for the case in hand but of no general interest. The bare reporting of parameters of the Arrhenius equation or activated-complex theory equation conceals the source of the numbers, the probable error, the relationship to other investigations. In tables of data of this sort one entry may represent an average of several hundred observed points as obtained by a dozen different investigators over a wide temperature range, and another entry may be a wild guess by an amateur in the field or the unsupported prediction of a crude theory. A refusal to tabulate any kinetic data except fundamental, quantum-state transitions is analogous to a refusal to tabulate any thermodynamic data until they are obtained by statistical mechanics from molecular parameters. The idea of elementary chemical reactions, as opposed to complex reactions on the one hand and elementary chemical-physical reactions or elementary physical reactions on the other hand, is the main topic of section 1. A detailed discussion of each of three complex reaction systems (decomposition of O2, decomposition of O3, and isotopic exchange between oxygen species) is the subject matter of the next three sections. The fifth section gives a discussion of a theoretical problem raised by these data. The strictly handbook elements of this report are given by the tables, summarized further in tables 15, 17, and 28 and in section 6. Nonkineticists are inclined to expect greater precision from kinetic data than is really there; as a step toward correcting this misapprehension, all data are presented in figures, where the experimental scatter and range of observations are readily seen. IV Acknowledgment An extensive set of reprints supplied by the Chemical Kinetics Information Center, National Bureau of Standards, permitted this study to get off to a fast start. This set of reprints was checked for completeness and supplemented by a literature search carried out by Frank

Gas kinetics in galactic disk. Why we do not need a dark matter to explain rotation curves of spirals? Lipovka A.A. Department of Research for Physics, Sonora University, 83000, Hermosillo, Sonora, México May 27, 2020 Abstract In present paper, we analyze how the physical properties of gas affect the Rotation Curve (RC) of a spiral galaxy. It is shown, that the observed non-Keplerian RCs measured for outer part of disks, and the observed radial gas distribution are closely related by the diffusion equation, which clearly indicates that no additional mass (Dark Matter) is need. It is stressed, that while the inner part of the RC is subject of the Kepler law, for the correct description of the outer part of the RC, the collisional property of the gas should also be taken into account.

  • Gas Kinetics Introduction
    Gas Kinetics Introduction • Most deposition techniques rely on gas flow in a vacuum. • We need a model for understanding; – the speed and energy of the gas molecules as a function of temperature and pressure, – how these molecules interact with each other and their surroundings, – and how mass, heat and momentum is transported by these molecules. The Size of a Molecule (a very rough calculation) • Take water (liquid H2 O) as an example. • Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons for a total of 16 nucleons and Hydrogen has 1 proton. So water has 16+1+1=18 nucleons −24 m≈PN1 m . ≈ 66 × 10g −23 m18HO= mN 2 = . 99 × g 10 2 d HO2 N1= m 3 = . 35 ×22 molecules 10 / g HO2 HO2 ρ 1= .g 00 cm3 / HO2 1 V = 2= . 99 × −23 10cm 3 molecule / HO2 ρ N HOHO2 2 3 d=2 ×3 V5 . = 64− ×8 10cm HO2 4 HO2 The Distance Between Molecules in a Gas • Now take water vapor (gaseous H2 O). ρ 0= . 8 ×g 10−3 cm3 / HO2 1 −20 3 l V = 3= . 73 × 10cm molecule / HO2 HO2 ρ N HOHO2 2 l=3 V3 . = 34 ×−7 10cm HO2 HO2 l≈ 6 d HO2 HO2 Molecular Velocities • Basic assumptions: – We’ll assume an ideal gas where the gas molecules interact elastically (collisions are similar to the collisions of hard billiard balls). – The distance between molecules are large compared to their sizes. – There are no attractive or repulsive forces between the molecules and each molecule moves independently of the others. Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution • Under these assumptions, the molecules of a gas have velocities that are distributed according to: 1 dn M ⎛ Mv2 ⎞ where f is the fractional number of 2 ⎜ ⎟ molecules, v is the velocity, M is the f() v= =4πv exp⎜− ⎟ molecular weight, T is the temperature n dv 2πRT ⎝ 2RT ⎠ and R is the universal gas constant.

LIU The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Summary--This paper presents theoretical methods to determine the gas dynamic and the electrostatic effects due to the interaction caused by a rapidly moving body in the ionosphere. The principles of the methods are derived from the kinetic theory of collision-free plasma. It is shown that the collective behavior of the collision-free plasma makes it possible to use the fluid approach to treat the problems of ionospheric aerodynamics. Various solutions to the system of fluid and field equations that have direct bearing on the ionospheric aerodynamics are presented and discussed. Physical significances of the mathematical results are stressed. Some outstanding unsolved problems in ionospheric aerodynamics are elaborated and discussed. LIST OF SYMBOLS AND UNITS (EM) l.

We study biosignature gases on exoplanets with thin H2 atmospheres and habitable surface temperatures, using a model atmosphere with photochemistry and a biomass estimate framework for evaluating the plausibility of a range of biosignature gas candidates. We find that photochemically produced H atoms are the most abundant reactive species in H2 atmospheres. In atmospheres with high CO2 levels, atomic O is the major destructive species for some molecules. In Sun-Earth-like UV radiation environments, H (and in some cases O) will rapidly destroy nearly all biosignature gases of interest. The lower UV fluxes from UV-quiet M stars would produce a lower concentration of H (or O) for the same scenario, enabling some biosignature gases to accumulate. The favorability of low-UV radiation environments to accumulate detectable biosignature gases in an H2 atmosphere is closely analogous to the case of oxidized atmospheres, where photochemically produced OH is the major destructive species.
