If the dependence on temperature as well as on composition is known for a solution, enthalpies and entropies of adsorption may be calculated from the appropriate thermodynamic relationships [82]. Neam and Spaull [147] have, for example, calculated the enthalpies of surface adsorption for a series of straight-chain alcohols. They find an increment in enthalpy of about 1.96 kJ/mol per CH2 group. 

Cortona embedded a DFT calculation in an orbital-free DFT background for ionic crystals [183], which necessitates evaluation of kinetic energy density fiinctionals (KEDFs). Wesolowski and Warshel [184] had similar ideas to Cortona, except they used a frozen density background to examine a solute in solution and examined the effect of varying the KEDF. Stefanovich and Truong also implemented Cortona s method with a frozen density background and applied it to, for example, water adsorption on NaCl(OOl) [185]. 

After transforming to Cartesian coordinates, the position and velocities must be corrected for anharmonicities in the potential surface so that the desired energy is obtained. This procedure can be used, for example, to include the effects of zero-point energy into a classical calculation. 

A simple example would be in a study of a diatomic molecule that in a Hartree-Fock calculation has a bonded cr orbital as the highest occupied MO (HOMO) and a a lowest unoccupied MO (LUMO). A CASSCF calculation would then use the two a electrons and set up four CSFs with single and double excitations from the HOMO into the a orbital. This allows the bond dissociation to be described correctly, with different amounts of the neutral atoms, ion pair, and bonded pair controlled by the Cl coefficients, with the optimal shapes of the orbitals also being found. For more complicated systems... 

By carefully adjusting the kind of variational wavefunction used, it is possible to circumvent size-extensivity problems for selected species. For example, a CI calculation on Bc2 using all CSFs that can be formed by placing the four valence electrons into the orbitals 2ag, 2ay, 3 <5g, 3 a, 1 Tty, and 1 Tig can yield an energy equal to twice that of the Be... 

The notation for denoting this type of calculation is sometimes more specihc. For example, the acronym MCSCF+1+2 means that the calculation is a MRCI calculation with single and double Cl excitations out of an MCSCF reference space. Likewise, CASSCF+1+2 and GVB+1+2 calculations are possible. 

Another technique is to use an ah initio method to parameterize force field terms specific to a single system. For example, an ah initio method can be used to compute the reaction coordinate for a model system. An analytic function can then be fitted to this reaction coordinate. A MM calculation can then be performed, with this analytic function describing the appropriate bonds, and so on. 

Normally, you would expects all 2p orbitals in a given first row atom to be identical, regardless of their occupancy. This is only true when you perform calculations using Extended Hiickel. The orbitals derived from SCE calculations depend sensitively on their occupation. Eor example, the 2px, 2py, and 2pz orbitals are not degenerate for a CNDO calculation of atomic oxygen. This is especially important when you look at d orbital splittings in transition metals. To see a clear delineation between t2u and eg levels you must use EHT, rather than other semiempirical methods. 

The BIOh- force field option in HyperChem has no hydrogen bonding term. This is consistent with evolution and common use of the CHARMM force field (even the 1983 paper did not use a hydrogen bonding term in its example calculations and mentioned that the functional form used then was unsatisfactory and under review). 

The analysis for I using the Volhard method requires a back titration. A typical calculation is shown in the following example. 

The drop in pressure when a stream of gas or liquid flows over a surface can be estimated from the given approximate formula if viscosity effects are ignored. The example calculation reveals that, with the sorts of gas flows common in a concentric-tube nebulizer, the liquid (the sample solution) at the end of the innermost tube is subjected to a partial vacuum of about 0.3 atm. This vacuum causes the liquid to lift out of the capillary, where it meets the flowing gas stream and is broken into an aerosol. For cross-flow nebulizers, the vacuum created depends critically on the alignment of the gas and liquid flows but, as a maximum, it can be estimated from the given formula. 

The effect of the charge as well as that of the indifferent electrolyte, then, is contained in the term in brackets. A numerical calculation is probably the easiest way to examine this effect. This is illustrated in the following example. 

Example 2 Calculation of Kremser Method For the simple absorber specified in Fig. 13-44, a rigorous calculation procedure as described below gives results in Table 13-9. Values of were computed from component-product flow rates, and corresponding effective absorption and stripping factors were obtained by iterative calculations in using Eqs. (13-40) and (13-41) with N = 6. Use the Kremser method to estimate component-product rates if N is doubled to a value of 12. 

However, any average drop size is fictitious, and none is completely satisfactory. For example, there is no way in which the high surface and transfer coefficients in small drops can be made avail le to the larger drops. Hence, a process calculation based on a given droplet size describes only what happens to that size and gives at best an approximation to the total mass.

For sampling a relatively small number of sources, a simplified calculation form may be used. Such forms enable the office personnel to perform the arithmetic necessary to arrive at the answers, freeing the technical staff for proposals, tests, and reports. Many of the manufacturers of source-testing equipment include example calculation forms as part of their operating manuals. Some standard sampling methods include calculation forms as a part of the method (8). Many control agencies have developed standard forms for their own use and will supply copies on request. 

An example that shows that the cohesive strength of a material is less than that of the adhesional strength of the interface is that of the nominal 50,000 mile steel belted radial tire. It is a simple calculation to show that, on average, a tire leaves a monolayer of rubber particles on the road every time it makes a rotation. In essence, the strength of the adhesional bonding between the road and the tire is greater than that of the rubber within the tire.
