Mechanics of gelation distinction between a sol (solution) and a gel therefore appears to be understood in a manner analogous to the practical distinction between the elastic and plastic deformation ranges of a metal. The distinction lies in the ability to respond to an applied shear force via macroscopic viscous flow. In a dynamic sense, the response of a gel to an alternating force (oscillation or vibration) will depend upon the period or frequency of vibration. As indicated here, even most simple liquids will exhibit some elastic response at shear rates or frequencies exceeding 5 x 10 cycles per second. Experiments on such
Per-unit system this, the base currents I and I are related in the opposite way that V and V are related, in that formula_31 The reason for this relation is for power conservation S = S The full load copper loss of a transformer in per-unit form is equal to the per-unit value of its resistance: formula_32 formula_33 Therefore, it may be more useful to express the resistance in per-unit form as it also represents the full-load copper loss. As stated above, there are two degrees of freedom within the per unit system that allow the engineer to specify any per unit
