On page 176, Eq. 3 and the two sentences immediately following should read:µ ∝ e Ea µ /KT Since the viscosity is a transport property of the liquid, they claim that the temperaturen dependence of the viscosity can be a measure of the temperature dependence of mass-transfer rates. The argument can be valid in a limited context because the mass transfer rate decreases with increasing viscosity. However, the argument is not entirely valid because the mass-transfer coefficient is a function of many temperature dependent parameters other than viscosity.In addition, the descriptions of Fig. 4 and 6c given on pages 180 and 181, respectively, are in error. Correctly stated, they should be: Figure 4 shows the qualitiative dependence of the polishing efficiency (η pol ) on the ratio of the mass transfer resistance (R m,i ) to the kinetic resistance (R r,i ). The parameters (R m,i /R r,i ) and (R m,i /R r,i ) max , in general, should correspond to the same η pol . Figure 6c shows the qualitative dependence of the polishing efficiency on the ratio of the effective mass transfer resistance (Rm,eff,i) to the kinetic resistance (R r,i ). The parameters (R m,eff,i /R r,i ) and (R m,eff,i /R r,i ) max , in general, should correspond to the same η pol .
