Adding quanta to the C-Cl bond promotes bond extension, so that the central barrier can be reached as Cl- approaches. This dynamical effect is in accord with the role of vibrational energy in A + BC -> AB + C triatomic displacement reactions.15 The plot in Figure 5 of the probability of directly attaining the central barrier versus Cl + CH3Clb collision impact parameter shows that direct substitution occurs at small impact parameters. In contrast, association extends to larger impact parameters. 

The above nonstatistical view of reaction (2) has been reinforced by recent experiments made under LP conditions and presents a great challenge to the GPIC community. It now appears that the LP rate constants obtained for any nonstatistical reaction of this type will be extremely difficult to interpret in terms of candidate mechanisms and potential energy surfaces envisioned for that reaction. An accurate prediction of for such reactions would have to include a set of very complex factors, some of which are not presently well understood. These factors would include the initial distributions of energy within the set of collision complexes, X, formed under all possible collision impact conditions the rates of energy transfer between all vibrational modes within the species, X and Y and the mode-dependent rate constants for the motion of individual species within the sets of ion complexes, X and Y, in both directions on the reaction coordinate. 

The attractive forces, represented by wiggly lines in Fig. 2.4ii, may have complex R dependences that make it difficult to quantify the pressure reduction Fred. However, for a specified collider molecule, we can expect that the attractive force is proportional to the number density n/V of surrounding molecules, so that, for example, doubling the number of surrounding molecules at distance R also doubles their effect on collision impact and pressure. We express this proportionality in the form... 

Ab initio direct dynamics trajectory calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory.39 The trajectories were initiated at the separated reactants, TS (HOOCH3- F ), and the CII 2( 011)0 H- F region on IRC, with quasiclassical sampling including ZPE. The trajectories from the reactants were started at 15 A separation of the two species with small attractive potentials of -0.21 or -0.13 kcalmol-1. The collision impact parameter was chosen randomly between zero and maximum. The initial CH3OOH vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom were selected from their 300 K Boltzmann distributions. 

The preceding presentation describes how the collision impact parameter and the relative translational energy are sampled to calculate reaction cross sections and rate constants. In the following, Monte Carlo sampling of the reactant s Cartesian coordinates and momenta is described for atom + diatom collisions and polyatomic + polyatomic collisions. Initial energies are chosen for the reactants, which corresponds to quantum mechanical vibrational-rotational energy levels. This is the quasi-classical model [2-4]. 

If in fact the Pinto engineers did not test the gas tank for rear-end collision impact until the car was produced, then the engineers upstream willingness to go along with the radically compressed new model development cycle effectively contributed to putting a car into the marketplace that was inadequately tested for safety, known to be riskier than it needed to be, and, unknown to the public, correctable with the use of an inexpensive part. 

The potential initiating events, preventive features, and mitigating features were evaluated using event tree analysis methodology, which is detailed in Appendix 3E. The analysis showed that the accident risk could be conservatively bounded by a worst case crash of the forklift with target into fixed, unyielding features at the entrance to the HCF. The expected orientation in a collision impact would be a side impact of the cask. Structural analysis of the isotope transfer cask indicates that the cask will not be broken or breached in a conservatively worst case collision. 

Collisions/impacts The relatively very small size and mass of free cells is unlikely to result in cell colUsions of high impact strength that can cause damage to the cell wall.

A - B overall rotation is equivalent to A,B orbital motion, the excitation of this rotation will give insight into the collision impact parameter as in full collisions (Ba + HI (3)). 

These findings may also explain the observed influence of the fines content on the attrition propensity of a given material Forsythe and Hertwig (1949) already noticed a reduction of the degradation of FCC catalysts in jet attrition tests due to the presence of fines. They themselves supposed some kind of cushioning effect that limits the force of collision impact and thus limits the degradation of the coarse particles. The effect of fine particles is of strong interest because they are produced by attrition, so attrition inhibits itself if the fine particles remain in the system. 

In Section 3.3 we discussed how elastic and inelastic collisions contribute to the broadening of spectral lines. In a semi classical model, where the colliding particles travel along definite paths, an impact parameter b can be defined (see Fig.12.1) and the collisions may be classified as soft collisions (impact parameter b large compared to the minimum location r of the interaction potential) and hard collisions (bsoft collisions probe the...
