Accuracy graphic representation

In hen of careful independent checks of predictive accuracy, the results of the comprehensive theoretical work will not be presented here. Simpler, more easily understood predictive methods, for certain important limiting cases, will be presented. As a check on the accuracy of these simpler methods, it will perhaps be prudent to calculate the bubble diameter from the graphical representation by Mersmann (loc. cit.) of the resiJts of Kumar et al. (loc. cit.). 

To obtain extreme or even necessary accuracy for some design conditions, the end portions of the graphical representation may require enlargement from the usual size for graphical plotting. In most cases a size of 11 x 17 inches is suggested. 

Experimental data on only 26 quaternary systems were found by Sorensen and Arlt (1979), and none of more complex systems, although a few scattered measurements do appear in the literature. Graphical representation of quaternary systems is possible but awkward, so that their behavior usually is analyzed with equations. To a limited degree of accuracy, the phase behavior of complex mixtures can be predicted from measurements on binary mixtures, and considerably better when some ternary measurements also are available. The data are correlated as activity coefficients by means of the UNIQUAC or NRTL equations. The basic principle of application is that at equilibrium the activity of each component is the same in both phases. In terms of activity coefficients this... 

The magnetic field values of the EPR spectra of atomic fluorine, chlorine, and bromine are recorded in Table 1. For the sake of completeness, the data of Bowers et al. (2, 3) on atomic iodine have also been included. Accuracy of these data is probably within 2 gauss, as estimated from the atomic oxygen line in the fluorine spectra. A graphical representation of the spectral data is shown in Figure 1. The species giving rise to the various spectra was easily identified by determination of the atomic g factor and measurement of the number of lines observed. For atomic fluorine, chlorine, and bromine the observed g factor was... 

There are some other equations available, where the measured viscosity data can be reproduced with high accuracy as a function of temperature. However, care should be taken as extrapolation of most of these equations is dangerous. It is recommended that any correlation for the liquid viscosity that is more complicated than Eq. (3.108) should be checked with a graphical representation. 

Inorganic chemistry has widened considerably in recent years, and it becomes more and more evident that methods of representation of the type used in organic chemistry must he employed. Physico-chemical measurements have served in many ways to test the accuracy of formula , and the introduction from time to time of new theories of valency and affinity of the atoms has led to the elucidation of the behaviour of certain complexes where the elements in the complex appear to react in a manner quite contrary to that of the same elements in their simpler compounds. It should be possible, however, to adopt some convenient method to show graphically the union of the constituents of the complex. 

The results of calculation from Eqs. (101a) and (101b) coincide with graphical accuracy with those obtained from another representation (100a). 

Figure 1.1.10 Schematic representation of a possible energy surface for methane combustion. The graphical impression is a projection of energy peaks onto a plane of reaction coordinates. The reactant systems (clouds) are not given with stoichiometric accuracy. There are many more intermediates and reaction pathways in the real gas combustion process.

A summary of the points made above is shown graphically in Fig. 11.1. The figure emphasizes that accuracy depends on both the level of treatment and the value of in the -mode representation. Finally, because the above theory is based on a set of normal coordinates defined with respect to a single stationary point we refer hereafter to the version of MM based on this approach as MM-SR.
