Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The research purpose is to prove the probability of a direct quantitative correlation between proportion of these clusters and liquid viscosity. A quasi-polycrystalline clustering model of the liquid (in particular, melts) should be used. The Boltzmann distribution, the concepts of the chaotic particles and the virtual cluster size distribution should be applied to achieve this purpose. This study analyzed the complete reference data on the temperature dependences of the dynamic viscosity for the alkali metals. As a result, a directly proportional correlation between viscosity and cluster content in liquid has been determined. It has provided the probabil-ity for the quantitative concept of the quasi-polycrystalline clustering model on the liquid state of matter due to its properties. The concept of the chaotic particles in direct correlation to the Boltzmann distribution has been used as a basis. The Boltzmann energy spectrum has been used for the kinetic energy of the chaotic thermal particle motion in the solid, liquid and gaseous states of matter. As a result, their three energy classes have been distinguished with their presence in all aggregate states and in the sum constantly equal to one. Formulas to calculate the proportion of the virtually ordered clustering and complete chaotic fluid compo-nents were deduced. These formulas have been derived with using the particle distributions by the energy class and cluster sizes.
