Assumption linear mixing

In all considered above models, the equilibrium morphology is chosen from the set of possible candidates, which makes these approaches unsuitable for discovery of new unknown structures. However, the SCFT equation can be solved in the real space without any assumptions about the phase symmetry [130], The box under the periodic boundary conditions in considered. The initial quest for uy(r) is produced by a random number generator. Equations (42)-(44) are used to produce density distributions T(r) and pressure field ,(r). The diffusion equations are numerically integrated to obtain q and for 0 < s < 1. The right-hand size of Eq. (47) is evaluated to obtain new density profiles. The volume fractions at the next iterations are obtained by a linear mixing of new and old solutions. The iterations are performed repeatedly until the free-energy change... 

Phenomenological blending relations for Je° have been suggested, based on the properties of rj0 and J° for narrow distribution systems and the assumption that t]0 always obeys Eq. (5.28) in blends. The relaxation spectrum for a binary system according to the linear mixing rule is (214)... 

Numerous studies suggest that the relative proportion of calcium derived from the watershed compared to the calcium derived from atmospheric inputs can be inferred by using strontium isotope data. The strontium isotope ratios for the bedrock, atmospheric input, and output are combined in a linear mixing model to infer the ultimate sources of calcium (bedrock/soil complex versus atmosphere). The explicit assumption in this technique is that calcium and strontium behave similarly during all biogeochemical processes. The assumption has been challenged by Bullen et al. (2002). 

The linear mixed effect model assumes that the random effects are normally distributed and that the residuals are normally distributed. Butler and Louis (1992) showed that estimation of the fixed effects and covariance parameters, as well as residual variance terms, were very robust to deviations from normality. However, the standard errors of the estimates can be affected by deviations from normality, as much as five times too large or three times too small (Verbeke and Lesaffre, 1997). In contrast to the estimation of the mean model, the estimation of the random effects (and hence, variance components) are very sensitive to the normality assumption. Verbeke and Lesaffre (1996) studied the effects of deviation from normality on the empirical Bayes estimates of the random effects. Using computer simulation they simulated 1000 subjects with five measurements per subject, where each subject had a random intercept coming from a 50 50 mixture of normal distributions, which may arise if two subpopulations were examined each having equal variability and size. By assuming a unimodal normal distribution of the random effects, a histogram of the empirical Bayes estimates revealed a unimodal distribution, not a bimodal distribution as would be expected. They showed that the correct distributional shape of the random effects may not be observed if the error variability is large compared to the between-subject variability. 

S2 t),. .., r (f)] and A denote the latent source vector and the unknown constant m x n linear mixing matrix, respectively, to be simultaneously estimated, a,- is the /th column of A and is associated with the corresponding source s,(0- The assumption of m = n is imposed herein, i.e., the number of mixtures equals that of the sources and A is square. With only x(t) known, Eq. 1 may not be mathematically solved by classical methods additional assumption is thus needed to estimate the BSS model. 

The model assumes a well-mixed gas phase composition in the recycle loop, a well justified assumption in view of the very high (10-200) recycle ratio values used in the present work. For the batch electrocatalytic version we also neglect volume changes and assume linear kinetics for steps 1,3 and 4 of the consecutive OCM network (1), i.e. ... 

Show that the results may be interpreted on the assumptions that the solids are completely mixed, that the gas leaves in equilibrium with the solids and that the adsorption isotherm is linear over the range considered. If the flowrate of gas is 0.679 x 10-6 kmol/s and the mass of solids in the bed is 4.66 g, calculate the slope of the adsorption isotherm. What evidence do the results provide concerning the flow pattern of the gas ... 

As shown in Fig. 5.4, the flow domain can be denoted by 2 with inlet streams at Ain boundaries denoted by 3 2, (/el,..., Ain). In many scalar mixing problems, the initial conditions in the flow domain are uniform, i.e., cc(x, 0) = 40). Likewise, the scalar values at the inlet streams are often constant so that cc(x e 3 2, t) = c(f for all / e 1,..., Nm. Under these assumptions,38 the principle of linear superposition leads to the following relationship ... 

More generally, by using the linear transformation given in (5.107) on p. 167, the mixing model can be decomposed into a non-premixed, inert contribution for and a premixed, 118 reacting contribution for y>rp. It may then be possible to make judicious assumptions concerning the joint scalar dissipation rate. For example, if the spatial gradients of and y>rp are assumed to be uncorrelated, then... 

In this model, the rate of migration of each solute along with the mobile phase through the column is obtained on the assumptions of instantaneous equilibrium of solute distribution between the mobile and the stationary phases, with no axial mixing. Ihe distribution coefficient K is assumed to be independent of the concentration (linear isotherm), and is given by the following equation ... 

With a condensed monolayer, such as cholesterol, it may safely be assumed that each molecule occupies essentially the same area in both pure and mixed films (4). This value is approximately 38 sq. A. per cholesterol molecule. By making this assumption it is possible to obtain, by the method of intercepts (16), the partial molecular areas, (dA/dn)rr,T, at constant r and temperature, of the expanded component in a cholesterol-mixed film. An extrapolation (10) through MN (Type I, Figure 12), or MO if linear (Type II, Figure 12) to the Ai ordinate, yields the area per molecule of the expanded component in the mixed films, where the cholesterol content is either equal to or in excess of the compositions denoted by point N (Type I) or point O (Type II). Such... 

The data can be evaluated using any commonly available non-linear regression program or with a linear regression, in which k,a is the slope from the plot of the natural log of the concentration difference versus time. Linearity of the logarithmic values over one decade is required for the validity of the measurement. Of course the assumptions inherent in the model must apply to the experimental system, especially in respect to completely mixed gas as well as liquid phases and reactions are negligible. Two common problems are discussed below. Other common pitfalls and problems are summarized in Table 3-3. 

The equations for the two-phase fully mixed system are thus reduced to the equations for a single stirred tank by the physically motivated notion of only using the available fraction of the feed. This has been made possible by the uniformity of the dense phase and the linearity of the transfer process in the bubble. This allows us to see how the rather implausible assumption that the bubble phase is really well mixed can be made more realistic. Let us go to the other extreme, and suppose that the bubbles ascend with uniform velocity U. The surface area per unit length of reactor is SIH, where 5 is, as before, the total interphase area and H the height of the bed. If h is the transfer coefficient and z the height of a given point, a balance over the interval (z, z + dz) gives the equation for the concentration in the bubble phase b(z)...
