Note MM-i- is derived from the public domain code developed by Dr. Norm an Allinger, referred to as M.M2( 1977), and distributed by the Quantum Chemistry Program Exchange (QCPE). The code for MM-t is not derived from Dr. Allin ger s present version of code, which IS trademarked MM2 . Specifically. QCMPOlO was used as a starting point Ibr HyperChem MM-t code. The code was extensively modified and extended over several years to include molecular dynamics, switching functuins for cubic stretch terms, periodic boundary conditions, superimposed restraints, a default (additional) parameter scheme, and so on.

Isolated gas phase molecules are the simplest to treat computationally. Much, if not most, chemistry takes place in the liquid or solid state, however. To treat these condensed phases, you must simulate continuous, constant density, macroscopic conditions. The usual approach is to invoke periodic boundary conditions. These simulate a large system (order of 10 molecules) as a continuous replication in all directions of a small box. Only the molecules in the single small box are simulated and the other boxes are just copies of the single box. 

Third, design constraints are imposed by the requirement for controlled cooling rates for NO reduction. The 1.5—2 s residence time required increases furnace volume and surface area. The physical processes involved in NO control, including the kinetics of NO chemistry, radiative heat transfer and gas cooling rates, fluid dynamics and boundary layer effects in the boiler, and final combustion of fuel-rich MHD generator exhaust gases, must be considered. 

An eminent researcher at the boundaries between physics and chemistry, Howard Reiss, some years ago explained the difference between a solid-state chemist and a solid-state physicist. The first thinks in configuration space, the second in momentum space so, one is the Fourier transform of the other. 

A WBL can also be formed within the silicone phase but near the surface and caused by insufficiently crosslinked adhesive. This may result from an interference of the cure chemistry by species on the surface of substrate. An example where incompatibility between the substrate and the cure system can exist is the moisture cure condensation system. Acetic acid is released during the cure, and for substrates like concrete, the acid may form water-soluble salts at the interface. These salts create a weak boundary layer that will induce failure on exposure to rain. The CDT of polyolefins illustrates the direct effect of surface pretreatment and subsequent formation of a WBL by degradation of the polymer surface [72,73]. 

Chemical scaling is another form of fouling that occurs in NF and RO plants. The thermodynamic solubility of salts such as calcium carbonate and calcium and barium sulfate imposes an upper boundary on the system recovery. Thus, it is essential to operate systems at recoveries lower than this critical value to avoid chemical scaling, unless the water chemistry is adjusted to prevent precipitation. It is possible to increase system recovery by either adjusting the pH or adding an antisealant, or both.

There apparently exists a critical amount of liquid phase for the optimization of grain/interface boundary sliding during superplastic deformation. The optimum amount of liquid phase may depend upon the precise material composition and the precise nature of a grain boundary or interface, such as local chemistry (which determines the chemical interactions between atoms in the liquid phase and atoms in its neighboring grains) and misorientation. The existence of an equilibrium thickness of intergranular liquid phase in ceramics has been discussed [14]. This area of detailed study in metal alloys has not been addressed.
