Volume LIT, S MATHEMATICS CONCERNING THE RESOLVENTS OF AN HERMITIAN OPERA ?0 WITH THE DEFICIENCY-INDEX (7n, in) By M. KREIN (Communicated by A. N. kolmogoroff, Member of the Academy, H. H. 1946) In one of my preceding papers (1.) I have indicated a metLod for obtainina all generalized resolvents R, of an Hermitian operator A defin- ed in the Hilbert space * with a domain of definition 1) (A) dense in * and with the deficiency-index (1,1) *. In the present note I generalize this result and find the general form of the resolvent Rz of an Hermitian operator A in the case where its deficiency-index is (m, m), m being an arbitrary natural number. If the operator A is positive (i. e. (Af, f) 0 for f E (A)), then for it there will be resolvents 11,, the whole spectrum of which is situated in the interval (0, co); I determine also the general form of all these resolvents. 1. if the operator A has the deficiency-index (m, m), then for every non-real z the equation A*cp ? zcp = 0 (A* being the operator maximally adjoined to A) will have exactly m (and not more) linearly independent solutions c,c), (z), (p, (z),..., cp. (z) which we shall construct in a special manner as vector-functions of z. Let A? be a certain self-adjoined extension of the operator A, and = (A? ?zlr (Im z 0), the corresponding resolvent. Then the linearly independent solutions < p (z) (f=' 1,2, ... , in) of the equation A* cp ? =-- 0, where z is an arbitrary non-real point, or even an arbitrary regular point of the resolvent R, may be constructed in such a way that for any two regular points z and 7, (z) (C) (z ? (j=1, 2, ? ? ? , in) (1) To this end for some 7,o (Im Co 4, 0) we choose an arbitrary system of linearly independent solutions p .....p of the equation Ap-0p=0 and then putting in (1) = cpi (C0) = cpui CI =1, 2,..., m) determine thence the cpi (z) (j =1, 2, ... , m) for every regular point z of the operator R. Consider the matrix-function of the in-th order Q (z) = qj. (z) = ((z zo) (z) + y0pi cz*0), Pk (zo )) where z? = x0+ iYo is an arbitrarily chosen regular point of the resolvent R. By means of (I.) it may be easily shown that the marix-functions (z) corresponding to different choices of the point zo can differ from one another only by an Hermitian, matrix not depending on z. Another solution of this problem was given by M. Neumark (2). 651 Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-2 Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-21 Denote by 9Z?, the class of all holonnurphic in the upper half-plane m > 0 matrix-functions F (z)==li (z) hr possessing the property that for. mlY complex Za, ? ? trt 111 I (.!?41;(*). fik (z) ikEi) 0 (Im: >0) . And j, It is easily seen that Q(z)ET?, and, moreover,: that the Hermitian form un (!i?Q (z) E) corresponding to it, is strictly positive for Im z > 0. Using the well-known integral representation of fwictions 1(z) bolo- morphie in and representing thc upper half-plane on a part, of it, (cf., for instance (s), p. 52), we may obtain -a general formula for an arbitrary matrix F (z) E 9.1?,. Denote by 9-tn, the class wn, complemented by infinite matrix-functions F (z) of the form F (z)=.5" CP(19s (2) 0 I,, N\ here C,, (z) is a, certain finite matrix-function from 9'4; I,,, the unit matrix of order y; S. a hon-singular numerical matrix of order in; and S', the matrix, Herniae adjoined to S. If F (z)E9Zn, and for at least one z (Im z > 0) the Hermitian form m (Z*F (z) t) is strictly positive. then the same will hold also for arbit- rary z (lm z > 0); in this case the matrix F(z) is non-singular and - F-1 (z)E Thus, if F (z)E9i, the matrix-function (F (z) Q (z))-' (1m z > 0) always exists. If F (z) is of the form (2), then we shall put (F (z)? Q())-1 =, hint (Ft (z)+ Q (z)r (Im z > 0) where Ft (z) is obtained from F (z) by replacing in (2) the symbol of infinity by I. This definition has always a sense and it will be readily found how this limit is calculated. Recall. now that by the spectral function of an operator A is under- stood (',4) an one-parametric family E (? oo < X < ,r) of bounded self-aijoined operators, possessing the property that for any /E (E (X)1, 1) is a non-decreasing function of (i.)1 is a function of continuous from the left, E (A) 0 for t ? and E (l)f / for t and, besides, for any / E Z (A) (Al, ?L' d(E ().)1, It, Af dE (L) f To the spectral function E, (it.) correspoads a certain generalized resol- vent IL (Im z > 0) of the operator A R .1 S (IL (All (/E) - - and t he functioa F Inj is completely determined by R, for hit z >0.

Obsei?ve that formula (3) yields then and only then the resolvent R, of a certain self -adjoined extension X of the operator A.; when (z) is a constant Hermitian matrix. 2. Consider now the case where the Hermitian operator A is positive. in this case, according to our preceding investigations (cf. (5), Theo- rem 2), the operator A possesses two positive self-adjoined extensions Afil) and A(-1), the resolvents of which RV and RS-kr) possess the property that for ,any a>0 and tE fr) (-r..,) f)- 0) and I E the points of the complex plane w of the form w (Rd, I), where R, is an arbitrary generalized resolvent with a non-negative spectrum of an ope- rator A, fill up a certain convex domain bounded by two circular arcs intersecting under the angle Tr?arg z (measured irrside the domain). .T!worern 2 finds some interesting applications in the generalized pro- blem of moments on a semi-axis (`) (of. the Stieltjes type).

Volume LH, N S FLUID DYNAMICS ON THE LAW OF RESISTANCE IN THE CASE OF TURBULENT FLOW THROUGH SMOOTH TUBES By A. N. KOIMOGOROFF, Member of the Academy In place of the well-known type of formula for the coefficient of resistance lg(ReVr.)+B (1) which has come into general use from Karman's classical works, Konakov, in a note recently published in this periodical ('), suggests formulae of the type i/?e=AlgRe-FB (2) From his tuatment of the measurements made by Nikuradze Kona- kov has been led to propose the following values for the coefficients in (2) 1--ve 1.8 ig Re ? 1.5 This result invites comparison with the formula = 2.0 lg (Re VC) ? 0.8 (3) proposed by Nikuradze for the best approximation of his experimental data within the range of Reynolds numbers he has investigated (from 3070 to 3 230 000). For 125 measurements carried out by Nikuradze the Mean quadratic deviation from theoretically computed values is nearly the same whether formula (3) or (4) is used. In both cases it will be found to equal 0.07. Nor shall we detect any significant advantage of one of these formulae over the other if we were to consider large and small Reynolds numbers sepa- rately and subject the experimental data to a thorough analysis. Therefore it is rather difficult to understand the reason which made Konakov express himself in favour of his formula, as regards its applicability to a wide range of 663 Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-2 Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-2 ? Reynolds numbers. Perhaps he compared it not with formula (fr), but with ;mother formula of Nikuradze 1.9.5 I g (Re): (5) whit IL however, had been recomm oiled by its author for large ReyinibIs numbers only. Still, it must be admitted that formulae of type (2) are easier to use. Within the accuracy of the available observations they may indeed from pu- rely empirical poinI of view ,:laim equality with formulae of type (1). On this ,,onsideration the contribution of Konakov may be only well-corned. Un- fortunately, his PaPer pretends to give a theoretical deduction of formula (2). From his belief in the theoretical soundness of this formula the author arrives :it the conclusion that it should be used in extrapolating to higher Reynolds 'lumbers, and with this one can hardly agree. It will be shown presently that his reasoning, if 4:orrectly completed, would only have led Konakov to the generally adopted formula (1). Let us start from Konakoy's formulae where .V and a are II', / V ?2.); (1- 2.'0 (II (2,N + c)13'' N in Wide. 3/ constants, The quantity ,.cry close to unity.

Anil according to formula (6) or (13) the variation of the ratio 114fl. is just as wide, too. Therefore the use of (6) instead of (8) is beyond one's comprehension. It. may be remarked, in addition, that the assumption IV; 661 Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-2 Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-2 together with (13), leads to c const or, with good approximation, to the equality = const (9) This is what we have in rough tubes, for which the hypothesis of simila- rity of the flow at different Reynolds numbers (?automodelling?)holds through- out the cross-section of the tube. But in the case of smooth tubes its range of application is confined to relative velocities at different points of the ?turbulent core? of the flow. It will be apparent that Konakov's considerations go only to confirm the theoretical soundness of formula (1) for large Reynolds numbers. Not until Reynolds numbers shrink to thousands or tens of thousands, can we expect to meet with deviations from this formula. Indeed, the experimental data of Nikuradze seem to indicate that the real plot of 1/17C as a function of Ig (Re-VC) is a straight line only for large Re, and shows a slight downward bent for small Re. It is to be regretted that the advantage that may be gained in using for large Re formula (5), which is built on the experimental indication just mentioned, instead of formula (4), which satisfactorily interpolates the observation throughout the range of variation of Re, lies too close to the limits of experimental error. If, however, the downward bent of the curve should be real, it can certainly receive no theoretical explanation on the basis of the foliaceous constructions made by Konakov. Received 8. V. 1946.

Volume LH, Al 8 ASTRONOMY ON TILE LAW OF PLANETARY DISTANCES By 0. 3. SCHMIDT, Member of the Academy 1. The distances from planet to planet increase as we move away from the Sun. Is this variation of distance subject to mathematical law, and if it is, just what is the underlying physical reason? The question has long attracted the attention of astronomers. Well-known is oBode's law>>, which was made public in 1772. In terms of the distance between the Earth and the Sun (put at unity) the distance from the Sun to Mercury is approximately 0.4, and the distances to the other planets, according to Bode's law, are expressed by the formula 0.4 + where n is the number of the planet (n =0 for Venus, n=1 for the Earth, and soon). In the table below the figures obtained accord- ing to Boclq are compared with the actual distances: a C.) r. A7-1 ,..9 =a .? .4-> i= I F... i ' 'I A El) c .

But there are also consi- derable departures. We find no planet between Mars and Jupiter, though the law requires that one should be present there. The asteroids fill the gap badly, for their total mass is far less than that of any individual planet. Unsatisfac- tory also is the figure for Neptune, and if we refer it to Pluto in order to obtain a better coincidence, we will find it even more difficult to explain why the little Pluto should be admitted to full membership in the series, when much the more massive Neptune is excluded from it. For close on two centuries Bode's law has continued to be a subject of discussion. Some scientists considered it a law of nature, unaccounted-for but none the less real. Others (their number appears to be stronger) looked upon it as a chance coincidence of two sequencies of numbers. Recently WeizsAcker (1) has made an attempt to deduce Bode's law in a simplified form by approximately doubling the distance on transition from one planet to the next. But the premises on which his conclusion is based seem very arti- ficial. Nor is it all that can be said against Bode's law. Its most essential draw- back is that the planets are arranged in a single row without taking account of the fact that they actually fall into two sharply different groups. It is in fact an important feature of the solar system that Jupiter and the planets farther away from the Sun are of much larger mass, compared to the nearer 2* 667 Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-2 Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-2 planets?from Mercury to Mars?not to speak of other differences between these groups. One may hardly expect that, an adequate law of planetary distances can be based on the neglect of this distinction. The author's theory of the origin of planets (2) yields a reasonable inter- pretation at once of the existence of two groups of planets, and of the dis- tance relationships within each group separately. First, we shall consider the qualitative aspect of the problem, then proceed to its quantitative treatment, and, lastly, compare the results of the theory with the known facts. 2. On the author's theory the planets have arisen from a swarm of meteo- rites captured once by the Sun, while it was crossing the central plane of the Galaxy. Afterwards, as a result of collisions, smaller meteorites settled on those of larger mass, thus contributing to the eventual formation of several large bodies, the planets. Let us examine this process in greater detail. The relatively large nuclei of the future planets, which had segregated at the early stages of the process, must, on account of symmetry, have been revolving in the central plane of the swarm along circular orbits. Collision between such a nucleus and a mete- orite occurs when the meteorite which may move in an elliptical as well as circular orbit happens to arrive at its node in the central plane just mentioned at the time that the nucleus is also there (2). Adding its mass to that of the planetary nucleus, the meteorite also imparts to it its angular momentum of revolution about the Sun. Thus, the angular momentum of a planet is the sum (if the angular momenta of the meteorites of which it is composed, and the position of its orbit (its distance from the Sun) is determined by the value of this total angular momentum. All the time mutual perturbations make the meteorites slightly change their orbits, and the neighbour meteorites come to fill the place of those *scooped onto by the planets. Let us see now what is likely to happen in the natural course of events to two neighbouring planet nuclei that are in progress of growth. If close to each other, they will soon exhaust the store of meteorites that stand a chance to get between them. With no meteorites to be raptured from these quarters, the nuclei, provided they do not fuse together, will further increase in mass and momentum at the expense of meteorites from outside of the exhausted interval. This means that one of the planets will now aggregate meteorites revolving nearer to the Sun, and accordingly, having smaller angular momenta in the mean, as compared to thi meteorites that will add to the other planet. As a result, the angular momentum per unit mass will gradually decrease in one planet, and increase in the other, and the difference between their orbital radii will grow correspondingly. This will continue until the planet is drawn into the region where it will have to compete with its neighbour from the other side, which will exert upon it an opposite influence. It, appears there- fore that, the planetary distances have been controlled by the mechanisin the planet growth from meteorites. A methematical treatment of the results of this control will be given in ? i. 3. Before we proceed to it we shall dwell on the fate of the planets initiat- ed in the neighbourhood of the Sun. In eapturing meteorites such a planet lied It) compete not only with its neighbour farther away from the Sun, but with the Sun itself. Certainly, it was itO match for the latter. The major part of lit" meteorites was bound to fall to the Sun and not to the planet on account 'if two factors. First, owing to perturbations, part of the meteorites iwly have assumed orbits with perihelion distant es shorter than the Sun's radius, and such meteorites were destined to fall to thl? Sun on the next revolution.Second: ly, the pressure of Sun light made the particles of matter gradually lose their orbital momentum (4) with the result that numbers of meteorites approa- ched the Sun in a spiral, and eventually fell upon it. The magnitude of ?this effect (time of approach) depends on the size of the partiele and its no rat diatance from the Sun. 668 Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-2 ? Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-2 It will be obvious that the influence of the two factors was particularly strong on meteorites revolving in the vicinity of the Sun. The fall of these meteorites, as will be shown elsewhere, is responsible for the rotation of the Sun on its axis. So in the region about it the Sun itself came in for by far the bigger share of the meteorites present and thus prevented their formation into bodies of respectable size. From the remains of the meteoric mass in the proximity to the Sun only small planets could arise, and the first planet whose mass corresponded to the total mass of the meteorites tevolving in its domain could only be formed at a distance from the Sun, where the influence of the above-mentioned factors was so weakened as not to affect the result materially. This is the reason why we have to-day two groups of planets: the so-called terrestrial planets, not very different from the Earth in size, and the major (distant) planets of much larger dimensions. 4. We are going now to derive a law of planetary distances from the theory. To begin with, let us consider the major planets, to wich we shall assign num- bers in order of distance from the Sun, putting n=0 for Jupiter. The total angular momentum of the system rests invariable, though indi- vidual meteorites may gain or lose momentum by mutual approach. Of course, small changes are more probable than great. At this juncture the law of dis- tribution of these probabilities is of no import to us, and it will suffice to assume that increase and decrease in angular momentum by the same amount are equally probable. We shall speak of domains of meteorites belonging to particular planets and of the boundaries between these domains as of definite notions. For an individual meteorite the chances are in favour of its being brought in the end on to that particular planet whose angular momentum per unit mass differs least from that which the meteorite had upon the formation of the meteoric swarm about the Sun. Together, all the meteorites whose angular momenta in this sense are nearest to the angular momentum of an n-th planet will be described as the ?domain of the n-th planet)). A meteorite which stands equal chances to fall to the n-th or to the (n 1)-th planet is said to be the boundary between the domains of these planets. As a matter of fact, all meteorites of a domain do not necessarily fall to the planet con- trolling this domain. Some may land on an alien planet. But as their own planet is also likely to capture some meteorites from foreign domains, there will be a tendency to equalize the balance, and we may assume, for the sake of simplification, that every planet will in time receive all the meteorites revolving in its domain, and no others. Neither shall we take account of the ( small angle that may possibly exist between different momentum vectors, so that they might be added arithmetically. No further simplification is required for the mathematical deduction of the law. Let an be the angular momentum per unit mass of the n-th planet and my, the total mass of the meteorites in the respective domain. The angular momen- tum of the meteorite revolving at the boundary between the domains n and n +1 will be denoted by uci.The mass of an individual meteorite will be expres- sed as a diferential dm, and its angular momentum per unit mass will be denoted by u. Then, in virtue of the law of conservation of angular momentum, we can write the following expression for the total angular momentum in the domain n U=UL uninn= u dm (1) By the definition of the boundary, the angular momentum tin' differs from u? just as much as from un,i, i. e. un +1 --:141. an' ?

For the meaning of the quantity p (the limit distance at which capture occurs) the reader is referred to that paper. Here it will suffice to mention that p may taken to be constant in the mean throughout the meteoric swarm. In the cited paper it was shown also that e in this formula can be used with+ as well as with and that all its values from ?1 to +1 are equall y probabl e. In virtue of the latter circumstance the mass of meteorites with e ranging from el to e2 is proportional to the magnitude of this interval. If the total mass of the swarm be denoted by in, we shall have Flt dm de (4) because the interval of variation of e from ?1 to +1 equals two. For any member of the system the angular momentum per unit mass is known to be k (1 ? et) (5) where M is the mass of the Sun, V is the constant of gravitation. Let us so select the units as to have k I.

This theorem involves the law of planetary distances, as derived from the author's theory. We can, in fact, denote irk, by' a, and the constant difference between the successive square roots by b, to obtain lifF7n=a+bn (13) which means that the square roots of the distances between the successive planets and the Sun form an arithmetical progression. This is precisely the author's law of planetary distances. We have derived it for the distant planets, i. e. for the region where the direct absorption of meteorites by the Sun, discussed in ?3, is a factor of minor importance. The following considerations will show, however, that it holds also for the nearer planets. In the course of time the Sun had absorbed the main mass of smaller particles from the region of the nearer planets, so that only those of relati- vely larger size remained, and their orbits were less sensitive to the influence of light pressure. Moreover, once the meteorites with the longest orbits had fallen to the Sun, the remaining orbits, being more circular, were also less liable to be affected by perturbations. Therefore the action of the two factors mentioned in ? 3 was growing weaker as time went on, and eventually the conditions were created for planets to form from the remains of meteoric matter in the regions lying nearer to the Sun. On this consideration we may expect the above theorem and the law of planetary distances, as expressed by formula (13), to hold for the nearer planets as well, though, of course, with modified coefficients a and b. 5.

I. 1946) One of the most interesting sets of questions connected with the problem ,of modern effective photoelectric cathodes-electron emitters which are known to be of a semi-conductor nature?is that of the conditions determining the absorption of light quanta by these emitters, the excitation of photoelectrons, and the kinetics of their subsequent motion towards the emitter surface. The present investigation is devoted to these probleins, the well-known antimony- ceasium, Sb ? Cs, photocathode being selected as the object of study. The expe- rimental results presented below areas yet of a preliminary character. Given a wedge-shaped cathode with a continuously varying thickness d, admitting both direct illumination1 i. e. ordinary illumination from the anode side of the photocell, and reverse illumination, i. e. from the outer side of the glass bulb covered with the Sb?Cs layer; let us assume that we have here a purely volume photoeffect, and that the absorption by the emitters of both light quanta and excited photoelectrons obeys the exponential law ng naoe- (1) where 11 and a are the absorption coefficients of the quanta and the photoelec- trons, respectively. Accepting this law for photoelectrons means, assuming that their absorption results from a single act of adhesion to the crystal lattice and not from the gradual loss of their energy. Thus, from. assumption (1) it is easy to show that the intensity of the photoelectronic current with direct illumination I, depends on the thickness of the photocathode d and the coefficients p. and a in the following way i. e. as d decreases, a maximum, limiting, On the other hand, reverse illumination I, ing dependence I, =-- A a) [1 ? e -(11+) d].

In order to carry out, those measurements, special photocells were prepa- red. On their walls a layer of antimony in the shape of a long wedge tapering to a point was deposited by means of evaporation from a sphere made of the metal concerned. This layer was then completely exposed to caesium vapour until an antimony-caesium layer was obtained having normal photo-electro- nic sensitivity throughout its surface. Contact with the Sb?Cs photolayer was obtained by means of two platinized strips placed parallel to the Sb?Cs wedge on either side. In this manner we obviated the distorting effect of the longitudinal resistance of the Sb?Cs layer. Since the source of the anti- mony was a small sphere, the subsequent distribution of the thickness of the antimony layer along our wedge and, accordingly, the distribution of the thickness of the Sb? Cs layer (making the natural assumption that the distension of the antimony layer under caesium vapour treatment is uniform) may be expressed, as can be readily shown, in the following form d, (6) 4 ?cep II+ war ris It +(r/a)93/2 The value of the constant d? may be determined for the Sb?Cs layer by employing some other independent methods. The author, for instance, uti- lized the fact, established for the first time in our laboratory by P. G. Bor- zyak, that the ordinary interference picture may be observed in thin Sb?Cs layers. In our case, on observing this picture in reflected monochromatic light, in the direction of the rise in the value of d from its smallest values, we first see the continuous bright edge of the wedge, passing subsequently into the ordinary sequence of dark and bright interference bands. Hence, it fol- lows that the index of refraction n of the Sb?Cs layer lies within limits of n.> n> 1 where no is the index of refraction of glass, for reflection from the anterior and posterior surfaces of the Sb?Cs layer occurs here with similar phase; since in our case n0 1.52, we assume n 1.4. Hence the thickness of the Sb?Cs layer dk in the position of the. k-th dark interference band is * = (2k ?1) 1;171 where k 1, 2, 3,...

In Fig. 1 with X=630 ma. we observe at x =12.5 the appearance of some local maximum, which vanishes for other wave-lengths. This shows that this phenomenon can hardly be attributed to any optical or structural properties of our Sb?Cs film at the given place. In the same figure, the line shows the position of the first dark interference band. 3. The direct photocurrent Ii, contrary to expectation, does not always yield a monotonous change with a variation in the value of d; with increase in X and, especially, at X =630 nip. an anomalous character for the changes in the value of I, is observed, the reasons for which are not yet clear. It is interesting to note that, fol undiscovered reason, this anomaly of the direct photocurrent seems to parallel the anomaly of the optical transparency mentioned above. 4. In complete agreement, with expectation, the reverse photocurrent behaves perfectly normally at all wave-lengths X and passes through a maxi- mum at the values of dm given in the table. These values of dm diminish with a decrease in the wave-length of radiation. 5.

The rate of burning of ash coal depends essentially on temperature. It is important therefore to establish what temperature a burning coal will have under given conditions, and how it will change as the process of combus- tion develops. These problems are discussed in the present paper. The distribution of temperature is assumed to be steady at every parti- cular instant, and it is also supposed that the coal, when burnt out, leaves a layer of ash, at the boundary of which the combustion takes place and through which heat is transferred by conduction. The delivery of heat from the coal is supposed to obey Newton's law. There will be deduced the relations determining the temperature in the zone of burning for a wall, a cylinder and a sphere. 2. A wall of ash coal is taken to be bounded by parallel planes. In its middle lies the origin of coordinates, the x-axis being directed perpendicular to the planes bounding the wall. Denote the total thickness of the wall and the thickness of its unburnt part by 2d and 2C, respectively; the absolute temperature iii the zone of burning, at the external surface of the wall and in the surrounding gas medium, by T,, T01 and To; the termal conductivity of the ash layer by X; the heat conductance by a; the specific rate of combustion by ks; the thermal effect of the reaction by q. The temperature distribution in the ash layer should satisfy the differential equation PT dx2 under the boundary conditions dT ? (-df) x=d= (11 ?T 0) From equation (1) and condition (2) follows 5:0 (7' ??T 0) where 1 kco = 1+ + A (1 ?

The ratio defining k? is taken from an earlier work ('). It is from equation (3) that we can determine the temperature at which combustion will take place in a wall of ash coal at a steady state. 3. Let us now consider an ash coal cylinder of radius r?,. The radius of the unburnt part of the cylinder will be denoted by r,. In this case the computations lead to a relationship identical with formula (3) except that DONV Iteo 20.= (1 Nu in) - I.', 1. Relation (3) is also true [Or a sphere, but here we have CL0 ?k ; 1 - Null (5) (6) the quantities Nu, A and E are determined in the same way as in the case of a cylinder. 5. Equation (3) may as well be solved by the graphical method formerly used by the author (2)? On the i-axis of a rectangular system of coordinates we lay off T.., and on the y-axis, 7,-= qk, ,-..=1,(T.,?T.) (Fig. 1). The abscissae of the intersection points of the curves thus plotted will give the values of the tempe- rature Ilia becomes established under the gi- ven conditions. According to the conditions under which the process goes on, the curves z1 and intersect at one or at three points. In the former case one definite state of combustion is possible; in the latter, three states, cor- responding to three values of the temperature, 0. and 0,. At 7',?=-0, the process is slow and stable (oxidation), at T..:=0 it is stable and proceeds rapidly (burning). But. at the process Fig. I. will not, he stable. If in fact the temperature has risen above 8,, the balance of heat is positive, more heat being received than lost, and the temperature in the burning zone will increase until it reaches the point 0, when the coal bursts into flame. On the other band, if the temperature remains below 0,, the balance of heat is negative, and the temperature will decrease down to 0,, at, which point the proc_ess of combustion dies out. Therefore 0, is the minimum temperature to which under given conditions the coal must be heated up in order to start burning. In other words, 0, is the inflammation temperature of the coal. 6. As the zone of reaction shifts, :7, and z, do not remain invariable, and accordingly the values 0? 6, and 0, vary also. The portion of z, corresponding to lower temperatures will not be affected by the variation of E. In the case of a burning wall the upper portion of the curve declines continuously as the burning zone moves, while in the case of a sphere or cylinder it either goes Up all the time, or down at first to rise later in aucordance with the ratio of H to A. 6811 Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-2 Approved For Release 2002/07/29 : CIA-RDP80-00926A000200010071-2 The curve z, will not change in shape, hut the angie y between z,-and the ac-,axis will decrease continuously with in the case of a wail, while it Will either grow all along or decrease at first and increase later in the case of a sphere- -or cylinder. - If z, and z, intersect at three points, 0.3 will decrease with 7 and approach Under certain conditions 0, will coincide with 0,, and the coal in the process of oxidation will, burst into flame spontaneously. 67 Mil With' increasing y.the value of -02 grows towards 0'3, and, if the conditions are suitable, will coincide with it. If the coal is burning, it will now cease to do so. If at the outset only a slow process is possible?oxidation, and afterwards as..the..zone of reaction shifts, the curves z1 and z, come to intersect at three 'points,, then no burning will take place unless there is a layer Of ash of ad- equate thickness. If only stable burning is possible at the outset, and afterwards the curves zi and -; will intersect at three points, then in the presence of an ash layer of sufficient thickness a decrease in the temperature of the burning obje(.t will eventually bring the burning process to an end. Using this graphical -method one can also establish how the process is influenced by the conditions under which it proceeds. 7.- More definite data on the variation of 4,, D2 and 0?3 in a coal sphere, under certain conditions, as the zone of burning shifts, are given in Figs. 2 and 3, where AT? 41-13, 42?T0 and i13 --To are plotted. against The plotting has been made on the assumption that 7, and ad are infinitely great, koco is put at 5.74.'104 (for the air), E=,35 500, and X and D are taken to be equal to the respective values for the air. The curve in Fig. 2 is for a sphere of radius r0 =1 Nil, burning in the air whose temperature is 400 and 480 ?C. The results obtained for a sphere of unit radius are shown. in Fig. 3.

Volume LII, N2 8 PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY AN ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC STUDY OF THE AGEING OF SMOKE DEPOSITS By S. Z. tOGINSKY, Corresponding Member of the Academy, A. B. SHEKB TER and S. V. SAKHAROVA The possibility of directly observing the location and statistical distri- bution of the dimensions of submicroscopic particles in the electron micro- scope has made it possible in principle to observe the variety of changes in structure that are classed under the conventional terms of (ageing)) and ((re- -crystallization)). As an object of investigation we selected the smoke deposits described elsewhere ("-). From the viewpoint of the problem stated above these smoke deposits possess two essential advantages: 1.) they are incompact to such an extent as to show predominance of isolated particles, that are in no contact with other particles but at a few separate points; 2) because of the absence of a supporting film these preparations can be subjected to considerable heating. The main observations were carried out on smoke deposits of gold and silver. In performing the experiments we availed ourselves of the possibility by repeatedly placing the specimen holder into the apparatus to return to the same field of vision, properly chosen and containing the characteristic structural formations. The following procedure was adopted: first, we took photographs of the fresh deposit, then the holder with the mounted preparation was taken out of the apparatus and held at a definite temperature for a certain. period. After that the holder was again placed inside the apparatus and more photographs were taken.. Not in a single case did we succeed to detect any change in the deposit upon keeping it exposed at room temperature. In several cases the preparations were kept in the mounted state for more than a month. When the temperature was raised, each preparation was found to possess a region of its own, in which the .deposit began to undergo an appreciable change. The changes observed in this case were of a varied nature. In the case of a smoke deposit of gold (Figs. I and 2), it could be seen that during the early stages of ageing there was a differentiation of particles according to dimensions: the number of biggest and smallest particles increased,, and the distribution according to dimensions expanded, the middle part undergoing a decrease. The initial spherical shape of the particles was retained.

II. 19,16) An analysis of practical cases of corrosion leads to the conclusion that in. most cases the cathodic process is the chief limiting (or controlling) factor iit'eorrosion. Thus, a change in the rate of corrosion is usually associated with the kinetics of the cathodic process (except in cases of appreciably pas- sivating corrosive systems). The importance of studying the kinetics of cathodic corrosion processes has already been emphasized by a- number of authors (1'). The usual cathodic processes in practical cases of corrosion are either the assimilation of an electron as a result of the ionization of the oxygen dissolved in the electrolyte with the subsequent formation of OH' ions (oxygen depola- rization), or as a result .of the discharge of the hydrogen ion with the subsequent evolution of the gaseous hydrogen (hydrogen depolarization). In so far as the experimental investigation of cathodic processes usually involves the construction and analysis of polarization curves, it is expedient to give a graphic interpretation of the regularities observed in cathodic processes. The figure shows such theoretical polarization curves, plotted by us on the basis of analytically established relations between the potential of the -cathode and the change in the density of the polarizing current for different conditions of operations (6). Curve ABCshowing the overvoltage of oxygen ioniz atio n depicts the variation of the cathode potential with the current density, unless there is concentration polarization. In that case the overvoltage ? of oxygen ionization (4 i. e. the negative shift of the potential as compared to the equilibrium oxygen potential in the same solution, will be connected with the density of the polarizing current (I) by a logarithmic relation analogous to Tafel's formula for the overvoltage of hydrogen.

Coefficient b is given its theoretical value, equal?like the overvoltage of hydrogen?to 0.117 (for 20?C) (6).

The oxygen polarization curve APFSN was obtained under such conditions of the -Abode's operation, under which the overvolt- age of oxygen ionization was accompanied by concentration polarization (the rate of oxygen transportation was limited).

The numerous experimental curves of 1.,nthodie polarization obtained by he author for various cathode materials are in good agreement (making allowance for a few well founded departures observed) with the calculated curve of cathodic polarization A PFS'QG Our analysis of the cathodic curve of oxygen-hydrogen polarization (') permitted us to define a number of characteristic points and se- ctions of this curve (see table). Such an examination of polarization curves is of considerable practical interest. Indeed, if we know the potential of the cathode in the process of corrosion (for small ohmic resistances it is equal to the potential of the corroding metal), we nifty?on the basis of the curve of cathodic polarization for the given corrosion process?fully charaeterize the cathodic process: determine the relation between hydrogen and oxygen depolarization, the relative value of overvoltage of oxygen ionization and the limiting diffusion current. This is achieved by simple examination of the location of the point representing the cathodic potential during corrosion on the cathodic pola- rization curve, according to data given in the table. In the case where the corrosion process is controlled chiefly by the cathodic process, such a cha- racteristic of the cathodic process is, generally speaking, a characteristic of the corrosion process as a whole. The possibilities offered by the use of polarization curves and their construction from experimental data have been discussed elsewhere in greater detail (1,9). laboratory of Corrosion of Alloys.

Volume LII, Jill. 8 GEOLOGY CliANGES IN THE MODE OF SEDIMENTATION IN THE CASPIAN SEA WITHIN HISTORICAL TIME By S. W. BRUJEWICZ (Communicated by P. P. Shirshov, Member of the Academy, 24. IX. 1945) While studying the chemical composition of bottom sediments of the Caspian Sea, the author took and examined in the course of 1935-1940 core-samples at 25 stations. The variations along the vertical of the bottom deposits studied give a picture of the general changes in the physical geogra- phical conditions of the sea. Bringing out a number of regional characters, the vertical run of variation in the components of the Caspian sediments points at the same time to the following alterations, which are of rather general nature. At several stations of the North Caspian, viz. at those of the Tiub-K aragan gulf l'x 81, l'x 83,. l'x 85, l'x 92, at the Lbishchenski shoaly slope (St. 19) is recorded a reducti- on in the content of carbonates in the upper horizons, which is especially con- spicuous in the Tiub-Karagan gulf. This should be taken to mean that the supply of aeolian material from the land has been intensified here during the recent time. The rapidly accumulated fluviogenic sediments of the western part of the Northern, and particularly of the Middle Caspian Sea, are highly homogeneous along the vertical; they do not point to any essential changes in the conditions of sediment accumulation which would have occurred within the recent centuries. ? In the South Caspian, within the area of the sea basin, of the eastern slope and the eastern shelf, there was observed an increase in the content of calcium carbonate and a decrease in that of Fe, Mn and P downwards. In the region of the sea-bed, in the northern basin of the South Caspian (station 26) takes .place a well-pronounced transition from the upper layer, 40 cm thick, with a CaCO3 content of 17-21 per cent only, to the fiftieth centimetre and underlying layers, whose CaCO3 attains 45.6 per cent. In the southern basin of the South Caspian (station 50) the sediments are poor in calcium carbonate, homogeneous, and no underlying sediments high in CaC(3), could be found there within a thickness of 1.10 cm of the core. In the region of the eastern slope (station 28 and l'x 48) the content of CaCO must likewise show an increase down the vertical, though not so clearly pronounced. The thickness of the upper layer is 40 cm. The same phenomenon is observed in the eastern shelf, where it is less sharply pronounced, however. Special interest belongs to the sharp increase in the carbonate content in the under layers in the region of the northern basin of the South Caspian (station 26). The theory of ?landslips from the western slope? should, be flatly dis- carded for the following reason.

I. Gorshkova observed similar phenomena, viz, a earbonate content of 19.4-17.4 per cent, in the upper 40-cm layer, and of /13.2 per vent beginning with the 0011 centimetre (besides these, no measurements have been made). For the 'landslip* a rise by 100 in is excessive. According to data by G. G. Sarkissian (core samples up to 2.5 in) within the region of the basin of the Middle Caspian, at the deepest layers of the sections Gulf Peschany?Gulf Buynak, and especially Derbent?Sue there occur deposits showing a much higher content of carbonates and a coarser mechanical compositinn. The nature of sediments speaks against the theory of landslips in this case, too. We are thus led to conclude that the phenomenon of decrease of the carbonate content, in the sediments formed during the recent epoch is peculiar to the Middle and South Caspian as a whole, and is not connected with landslips. In so far as under the conditions of sedimentation that prevail in the Caspian Sea the variation of carbonate content points to a variation in a given place or the inten- sity of precipitation of fluviogenic and aeolian talassogenic sediments, the phenomenon here described cannot be accounted for otherwise than in the following way: During the epoch preceding the recent one the zone of expansion of solid matter discharged by rivers has been pronouncedly extended from west to east. This refers both to the sea basin and the lower part, of the eastern slope. The decrease in the carbonate content in the eastern shelf took place because of the prevalence or precipitation of aeolian sediments poor in carbonates and rich in Fe, Mn and P Over the purely talassogeoic deposits high in carbonates, which was due to the intensification of winds blowing from the east. It seems most natural to explain both phenomena by a common cause, viz, by a general increase in the atmosphere circulation, which is supposed to have taken place during the last thousand years. Because of the increased pressure within the area of the Siberian winter anticyclone, the latter phenn- menon is associated with an increase in the Caspian region of winter winds blowing from the east and carrying aeolian matter from Central Asia. On the other hand, any increase in the displacement of the upper water layer of the Caspian westward results in an increase in the eastward compensatory 'movement of the deep waters carrying particles in suspension. The recent epoch of low carbonate content embraces a time interval of about 1000 years; the epoch of transition was a very short one, of no more than 200-300 years. The data available are insufficient to determine precisely how remote was the (Torii of high carbonate content. Received Xl. 1945. REFERENCES S. V.hirujewicz and E. U. Vinogradov a, C. R. Acad. Sci.

II. 1946) Fire clays and refractory clays are among the products of Meso-Cenozoic weathering crusts widelydeveloped in West Siberia. In the Lower Cretaceous and Lower Palaeogene time processes of chemical weathering which produced the weathering crust went on over a vast territory. The chemical weathering of various stone and loose rocks over vast areas of a peneplained country would bring about the formation of decomposition
