This book is conceived as a textbook for application in teaching and self-learning of chemoinfoimatics. We aim to present a comprehensive overview of the field of che-moinformatics for students, teachers, and scientists from other areas of chemistry, from biology, informatics, and medicine. Those interested in a more in-depth presentation and analysis of the topics in this Textbook are referred to an accompanying set of four volumes. 

Chetnoinformatics has matured to a sdentific discipline that will change - and in some cases has already changed - the way in which we perceive chemistry. The chemical and, in particular, the pharmaceutical industry are in high need of che-moinformatics specialists. Thus, this field has to be taught in academia, both in specialized courses on chemoinformatics and by integrating chemoinformatics into regular chemistry curricula.

In principle, Chen, given the flux relations there is no difficulty in constructing differencial equations to describe the behavior of a catalyst pellet in steady or unsteady states. In practice, however, this simple procedure is obstructed by the implicit nature of the flux relations, since an explicit solution of usefully compact form is obtainable only for binary mixtures- In steady states this impasse is avoided by using certain, relations between Che flux vectors which are associated with the stoichiometry of Che chemical reaction or reactions taking place in the pellet, and the major part of Chapter 11 is concerned with the derivation, application and limitations of these stoichiometric relations. Fortunately they permit practicable solution procedures to be constructed regardless of the number of substances in the reaction mixture, provided there are only one or two stoichiomeCrically independent chemical reactions. 

In unsteady states the situation is less satisfactory, since stoichiometric constraints need no longer be satisfied by the flux vectors. Consequently differential equations representing material balances can be constructed only for binary mixtures, where the flux relations can be solved explicitly for the flux vectors. This severely limits the scope of work on the dynamical equations and their principal field of applicacion--Che theory of stability of steady states. The formulation of unsteady material and enthalpy balances is discussed in Chapter 12, which also includes a brief digression on stability problems. 

Clearly the general situation is very complicated, since all three mechanisms operate simultaneously and might be expected to interact in a complex manner. Indeed, this problem has never been solved rigorously, and the momentum transfer arguments we shall describe circumvent the difficulty by first considering three simple situations in which each of the three separate mechanisms in turn operates alone. In these circumstances Che relations between fluxes and composition and/or pressure gradients can be found without too much difficulty. Rules of combination, which are essea-... 

When Che diameter of the Cube is small compared with molecular mean free path lengths in che gas mixture at Che pressure and temperature of interest, molecule-wall collisions are much more frequent Chan molecule-molecule collisions, and the partial pressure gradient of each species is entirely determined by momentum transfer to Che wall by mechanism (i). As shown by Knudsen [3] it is not difficult to estimate the rate of momentum transfer in this case, and hence deduce the flux relations. 

But Che molar flux of species r per unit cross-sectional area is given by... 

Strictly speaking, this expression is correct for a semi-infinite region bounded by a plane wall and containing a gas at rest. Here it is applied to a bounded region surrounded by a curved wall, and the molecules have a drift velocity parallel to che wall. Knudsen was concerned that this drift velocity might invalidate the treatment, but Pollard and Present [8] showed Chat this is not che case.
