Assume that this is the controlling resistance so that U=h. A kinetic model is needed for Rp and for the instantaneous values of and Iw The computer program in Appendix 13 includes values for physical properties and an expression for the polymerization kinetics. Cumulative values for the chain lengths are calculated as a function of position down the tube using... 

Use the computer program in Appendix 13.1 to explore thermal runaway. Feed pure styrene at 135°C and maintain a wall temperature of 300 K. At what tube diameter does the reactor run away Repeat... 

Most of the algorithms and formulae discussed in this chapter can be implemented as expressions in computer spreadsheets, and the rest as simple computer programs. Most are also incorporated into the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program by the Isoplot add-in (Ludwig 1999, in press) as user-available functions and graphical routines (Appendix III). 

STEP 2. Determine for each possible pairing of like-signed charges the values of the functions %(/) and E9(j(I) of I by numerical integration or approximation (for details, see Pitzer, 1987, pp. 130-132 Harvie and Weare, 1980). A computer program for this purpose is listed in Appendix 2. The functions are zero for like charges and symmetrical about zero, so only the positive unlike pairings (e.g., 2-1, 3-1, 3-2) need be evaluated. 

Certain variables (columns) may be prohibited from being selected as iterates because, for example, the sensitivity of that equation (row) for the particular variable is too great. Those variables that the user wants to omit as iterates can be specified in the computer program in Appendix A. 

In order to decompose the system equations successfully, it was necessary to prepare carefully the occurrence matrix (of equations and variables) for introduction into the computer program listed in Appendix A. The major difficulty that faces any analyst is distinguishing between system variables and parameters included in the equations. Actually, several sets of system variables could have been chosen depending upon whether one wished to study the design or simulation of the N-reactor plant. It was found that assigning... 

The occurrence matrix for the evaporator problem was formed and analyzed using the computer program listed in Appendix A. Figure 21 is the... 

Many extensive models of the high-temperature oxidation process of methane have been published [20, 20a, 20b, 21], Such models are quite complex and include hundreds of reactions. The availability of sophisticated computers and computer programs such as those described in Appendix I permits the development of these models, which can be used to predict flow-reactor results, flame speeds, emissions, etc., and to compare these predictions with appropriate experimental data. Differences between model and experiment are used to modify the mechanisms and rate constants that are not firmly established. The purpose here is to point out the dominant reaction steps in these complex... 

Confidence Band Statistics. The confidence-band statistical approach is described in texts by Natrella (1) and Miller 2) and in three papers from our laboratory (3-5). A computer program, REGRES, (See Appendix) was used to carry out all the computations described in this paper. 

The formulas are really not too difficult to use. In fact, with these handy formulas, you can compute the volume for a 6-D sphere just as easily as for a 4-D one. Code 2 in Appendix F lists some of the computer program steps used to evaluate this formula. 

The mathematical basis of the Mie theory is the subject of this chapter. Expressions for absorption and scattering cross sections and angle-dependent scattering functions are derived reference is then made to the computer program in Appendix A, which provides for numerical calculations of these quantities. This is the point of departure for a host of applications in several fields of applied science, which are covered in more detail in Part 3. The mathematics, divorced from physical phenomena, can be somewhat boring. For this reason, a few illustrative examples are sprinkled throughout the chapter. These are just appetizers to help maintain the reader s interest a fuller meal will be served in Part 3. 

A computer program for calculating the scattering coefficients (8.38) and the corresponding cross sections and scattering matrix elements is described in Appendix C all the examples in this section were obtained with this program. 

Bell (1981) (see also Bell and Bickel, 1981) measured all matrix elements for fused quartz fibers of a few micrometers in diameter with a photoelastic polarization modulator similar to that of Hunt and Huffman (1973) the HeCd (441.6 nm) laser beam was normal to the fiber axes. Advantages of fibers as single-particle scattering samples are their orientation is readily fixed and they can easily be manipulated and stored. Two of the four elements for a 0.96-jtim-radius fiber are shown in Fig. 13.16 dots represent measurements and solid lines were calculated using an earlier version of the computer program in Appendix C. Bell was able to determine the fiber radius to within a few tenths of a percent by varying the radius in calculations, assuming a refractive index of 1.446 + iO.O, until an overall best fit to the measured matrix elements was obtained. 

This book was not written with scissors all derivations are our own, as are most of the figures, many of them generated with the computer programs in the appendixes. Even much of the experimental data was taken with an eye toward examples for the book. Any errors, therefore, are solely ours.
