Calculated Parameters

The for crude oil and its fractions generally range between 10 (highly naphthenic crude) and 13 (highly paraffinic crude). For highly aromatic compounds to highly paraffinic compounds, the value of usually ranges between 10 and 15, respectively, and therefore, can be said to be a qualitative measure of either the aromaticity or the paraffinicity of a crude oil. 

In addition to MeABP and the pseudo-critical properties (T , P ), MW and the pseudo-acentric factor (to) are also required for estimating various thermo-physical properties of crude and its fractions. Several correlations/methods exist for calculating 

CO and MW, in terms of MeABP and SG (or K ). Some of the most widely used methods for estimating these parameters are listed in Table 2. Most of these methods use a simple 2-parameter correlation of the form

In many process-design calculations it is not necessary to fit the data to within the experimental uncertainty. Here, economics dictates that a minimum number of adjustable parameters be fitted to scarce data with the best accuracy possible. This compromise between "goodness of fit" and number of parameters requires some method of discriminating between models. One way is to compare the uncertainties in the calculated parameters. An alternative method consists of examination of the residuals for trends and excessive errors when plotted versus other system variables (Draper and Smith, 1966). A more useful quantity for comparison is obtained from the sum of the weighted squared residuals given by Equation (1).

The structure refinement program for disordered carbons, which was recently developed by Shi et al [14,15] is ideally suited to studies of the powder diffraction patterns of graphitic carbons. By performing a least squares fit between the measured diffraction pattern and a theoretical calculation, parameters of the model structure are optimized. For graphitic carbon, the structure is well described by the two-layer model which was carefully described in section 2.1.3. 

We have already thoroughly discussed the structural results of Vincent and Radom s ab initio investigation in Section 4.3. Most of their calculated parameters are in very good agreement with experimental structural data for the benzenediazo-...

Plasma analysis is essential in order to compare plasma parameters with simulated or calculated parameters. From the optical emission of the plasma one may infer pathways of chemical reactions in the plasma. Electrical measurements with electrostatic probes are able to verify the electrical properties of the plasma. Further, mass spectrometry on neutrals, radicals, and ions, either present in or coming out of the plasma, will elucidate even more of the chemistry involved, and will shed at least some light on the relation between plasma and material properties. Together with ellipsometry experiments, all these plasma analysis techniques provide a basis for the model of deposition.

Fig. 4. Variation of autocorrelation function with changes in the equilibrium constant in the fast reaction limit. A and B have the same diffusion coefficients but different optical (fluorescence) properties. A difference in the fluorescence of A and B serves to indicate the progress of the isomerization reaction the diffusion coefficients of A and B are the same. The characteristic chemical reaction time is in the range of 10 4-10-5 s, depending on the value of the chemical relaxation rate that for diffusion is 0.025 s. For this calculation parameter values are the same as those for Figure 3 except that DA = Z)B = lO"7 cm2 s-1 and QA = 0.1 and <9B = 1.0. The relation of CB/C0 to the different curves is as in Figure 3.

P 162 x 1CT4 cm-1, k0 0.5, c2 0.9, and fry 0.9 (= V23 0.5), indicating only a small degree of metal-ligand interaction for the level. It was suggested by Rettig etal. (65) that the metal orbitals (5 ) of Mn(Cp)2 were more involved in back donation to the ring than in Fe(Cp)2+ (q.v.) by virtue of the smaller apparent k values found for the former (ca. 0.5 vs. ca. 0.8). However, since the calculated parameter is actually fcy 23 this conclusion cannot be substantiated since only the product of k and V23 is currently known for Fe(Cp)2+. 

The calculated parameters X, qf, cp and ri are presented in Tables lb, lib and III. In addition the attachment equivalent diameter 3 was determined from the attachment coefficient 6 = X/Z by means of the attachment theory (Porstendorfer et al., 1979). 

Experimental data on the substitution reactions of free radicals with peroxides were analyzed by the IPM method [64]. The calculated parameters are collected in Table 6.27. The activation energies and the rate constants of radical substitution reactions calculated by the IPM method are presented in Table 6.28. 

Several other useful values can be obtained with a complementary procedure, similar to MAXSLOPE except it calculates variances instead of regression slopes (see Grove Meehl, 1993). An investigator can use these values to calculate parameters of latent distributions (e.g., mean and standard deviation of the taxon). These estimates are not biased by nuisance correlations, unlike MAXCOV estimates. Unfortunately, these calculations are fairly arduous, so we will not describe them here (for more details see Grove Meehl, 1993).
