Comparison between Theory and Experiment. The last column of Table 12 gave the difference between the value of J at 313°K and the value of J at 293°K. Since Jis independent of temperature, this difference is the increment in Jmv between these two temperatures—or if we use (140) it is the increment in J,t between these two temperatures. We see then that in class II the value of Jei increases by about 0.010 electron-volt in the 20° interval, while in class IV it increases by more than 0.03 electron-volt. In each case, according to (140), the increment in J,i is proportional to J,i itself for the increment is... 

The preceding paragraphs have been primarily devoted to a brief description of the methods of measuring detonation pressure and the presentation of selected measurement data. We have emphasized that both theory and measurements entail considerable uncertainty. Thus comparison between theory and observation is at best rather risky. Nevertheless, the P j vs loading... 

Jensen (J3) has conducted experimental studies in both laboratory and test motors to determine the value of the exponent g. The results obtained in a 3-in.-diameter test motor show that a value of g = 0.5 correlates the data. Using this correlation, experimentally observed propagation rates could be predicted with reasonable accuracy using Eqs. (21)—(24). A typical comparison between theory and experiment is shown in Fig. 12. 

Anion photoelectron spectroscopy [37, 38] amd photodetachment techniques [39] provide accurate information on electron detachment energies of negative ions. Ten closed-shell ainions considered here exhibit sharp peaks, indicative of minor or vanishing final-state nuclear rearrangements, in their photoelectron spectra. Comparisons between theory and experiment are straiightforward, for differences between vertical and adiabatic electron detachment energies (VEDEs and AEDEs, respectively) are small. 

The dynamic process of bubble collapse has been observed by Lauter-born and others by ultrahigh speed photography (105 frames/second) of laser generated cavitation (41). As seen in Fig. 4, the comparison between theory and experiment is remarkably good. These results were obtained in silicone oil, whose high viscosity is responsible for the spherical rebound of the collapsed cavities. The agreement between theoretical predictions and the experimental observations of bubble radius as a function of time are particularly striking.

Space limitations prevent my presenting a full-fledged review of the history of the observational programs along with the evolution of the comparisons between theory and data. For some recent reviews of mine, see [1] and further references therein. Instead, an overview is presented which highlights the challenges to SBBN. The remainder of this article is devoted to some of the key issues associated with each of the light nuclide relic abundances. 

All of the above tests were for hard chains at surfaces. The only comparison between theory and simulation for various values of fluid-fluid and bulk fluid attractions is that done by Patra and Yethiraj (PY) [137], who presented a simple van der Waals DFT for polymers and compared to simulations of fused-sphere chains. In their theory, PY used the Yethiraj functional [39] for the hard-chain contribution to the free energy and a simple mean-field term for the attractive contribution. Their excess free energy functional is given by... 

As will be shown later, the surface coverages of CO vary with distance into the pellet during CO adsorption and desorption, as a result of intrapellet diffusion resistances. However, the infrared beam monitors the entire pellet, and thus the resulting absorption band reflects the average surface concentration of CO across the pellet s depth. Therefore, for the purpose of direct comparison between theory and experiment, the integral-averaged CO coverage in the pellet... 

Another comparison between theory and experiment is provided by the TPD data of Hogan et al.fV" for 600-bp DNA/Methylene Blue complexes, shown in Figure 4.12. The theoretical anisotropy is calculated using the BZ form of F (t) with P = 500 A, and using the appropriate expressions for Cn(t) with the upper bound a = (1.90)(3.8 x 10 12) = 7.22x 10 12 dyn-cm obtained...

Comparison of the experimental potential in a crystal and the theoretical potential for an isolated molecule is an excellent test for the transferability of theoretical isolated molecule densities to problems such as molecular packing and protein folding. A systematic study of this kind was done on L-alanine. Figure 8.3 shows a comparison between theory and experiment for a plane containing the C—N bond in this molecule. The comparison is with the 6-3IG basis set of double-zeta-plus-polarization quality. The agreement of experiment with more modest basis-set calculations was found to be inferior, which gives confidence in the experimental results. Both in the plane shown, and in the plane of the carboxyl... 

This chapter offers pertinent information facilitating the comparison between theory and experiment using thermochemical data, such as the standard enthalpies of formation, and spectroscopic information that serve our purpose. Special attention is given to zero-point and heat-content energies which are often not as readily available as desired. 

In Sections 12.1 and 12.2 we discuss the theory of surface modes in spherical and nonspherical particles, respectively in Sections 12.3 and 12.4 comparisons between theory and experiment are given, first for insulators and then for metals and metal-like materials. 

For theory to be legitimately compared with experiment it is necessary that samples be prepared in which the particles are quite small (usually submicrometer), well isolated from one another, and that the total mass of particles be accurately known also, reliable optical constants obtained from measurements on bulk samples must be at hand. These requirements are, of course, easy to state but often difficult to meet however, if they are not met, then comparison between theory and experiment—agreement or disagreement—is likely to be specious. 

Measurements of extinction by small particles are easier to interpret and to compare with theory if the particles are segregated somehow into a population with sufficiently small sizes. The reason for this will become clear, we hope, from inspection of Fig. 12.12, where normalized cross sections using Mie theory and bulk optical constants of MgO, Si02, and SiC are shown as functions of radius the normahzation factor is the cross section in the Rayleigh limit. It is the maximum infrared cross section, the position of which can shift appreciably with radius, that is shown. The most important conclusion to be drawn from these curves is that the mass attenuation coefficient (cross section per unit particle mass) is independent of size below a radius that depends on the material (between about 0.5 and 1.0 fim for the materials considered here). This provides a strong incentive for deahng only with small particles provided that the total particle mass is accurately measured, comparison between theory and experiment can be made without worrying about size distributions or arbitrary normalization.
