The most important parameter governing stability is the dispersion coefficient of the dispersed phase such as bubbles, drops, and particles. The published information is not sufficient. A comprehensive research program is needed for the measurement of dispersion in all multiphase reactors over a wide range of terminal velocities, column diameters, column heights, sparger designs, phase velocities, and continuous-phase physical properties.

It is important to realize that an / or r value (instead of an or value) might give a false sense of how well the factors explain the data. For example, the R value of 0.956 arises because the factors explain 91.4% of the sum of squares corrected for the mean. An R value of 0.60 indicates that only 36% of 55 has been explained by the factors. Although most regression analysis programs will supply both R (or r) and R (or r ) values, researchers seem to prefer to report the coefficients of correlation R and r) simply because they are numerically larger and make the fit of the model look better. 

The complexity and importance of combustion reactions have resulted in active research in computational chemistry. It is now possible to determine reaction rate coefficients from quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics using the ideas of reaction mechanisms as discussed in Chapter 4. These rate coefficient data are then used in large computer programs that calculate reactor performance in complex chain reaction systems. These computations can sometimes be done more economically than to carry out the relevant experiments. This is especially important for reactions that may be dangerous to carry out experimentally, because no one is hurt if a computer program blows up. On the other hand, errors in calculations can lead to inaccurate predictions, which can also be dangerous. 

The number of additional Fourier spectral components to recover is the option of the researcher. The number of iterations to execute with the most general computer program written is also the option of the researcher. A tolerance is presently used to determine the number of iterations performed. However, it is found in practice that only 5 or 10 iterations yield sufficiently accurate results for nearly all experimental data of interest. With the presently used computer program, restoration is to the spatial function, and the improved spatial function and the improved values of the coefficients are both generated with each iteration. If the improved Fourier spectrum is not desired, then additional computational time could be saved by neither reading nor writing the Fourier coefficients. When M data points are treated, the computer memory requirements are seldom more than 1M words. If it is not necessary to determine the extended Fourier spectrum, then more than 5M words are seldom needed in computer memory.

Diffusivity data are available only for a limited number of polymer-solvent systems. This paper describes research that has led to the development of the use of capillary column inverse gas chromatography (IGC) for the measurement of diffusion coefficients of solute molecules in polymers at infinite dilution. The work has resulted in a precise, rapid technique for the diffusion measurements that circumvents the many problems attendant to classical sorption methods and packed column IGC methods. Initial results of the program appeared in two recent publications (1,2)- Some of the material introduced in those papers is discussed here to present background for...
