Comparison Data Model

We here consider our error model in relation to the method comparison situation. For a given sample measured by two analytical methods, 1 and 2, we have 

From this general model we may study some typical situations. First, comparison of a field method with a reference method wiU be treated. Secondly the more frequently occurring situation, the comparison of two field methods, is considered. 

Comparison of a Field Method With a Reference Method 

We may start supposing that method 1 is a reference method. In this case, the bias components per definition disappear, and we have the following situation  

In the comparison of two field methods, the paired differences become

As mentioned, we also carried out IR studies (a fast vibrational spectroscopy) early in our work on carbocations. In our studies of the norbornyl cation we obtained Raman spectra as well, although at the time it was not possible to theoretically calculate the spectra. Comparison with model compounds (the 2-norbornyl system and nortri-cyclane, respectively) indicated the symmetrical, bridged nature of the ion. In recent years, Sunko and Schleyer were able, using the since-developed Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) method, to obtain the spectrum of the norbornyl cation and to compare it with the theoretically calculated one. Again, it was rewarding that their data were in excellent accord with our earlier work. 

One goal of tropospheric [HO ] or [H02 ] measurements is the generation of data for comparison with model calculations-to test or validate the models. Due to its high reactivity, HO comes into rapid photochemical equilibrium with its surroundings. Thus a test of a photochemical model, which compares measured and calculated HO concentrations, is mainly a test of the chemical mechanism that the model contains, and is relatively independent of... 

On the other hand, very few ncdels for nulticonponent systans have been reported in the literature. Apart from models for binary systems, usually restricted to "zero-one" systans (5) (6), the most detailed model of this type has been proposed by Hamielec et al. (7), with reference to batch, semibatch and continuous emilsion polymerization reactors. Notably, besides the usual kinetic informations (nonomer, conversion, PSD), the model allows for the evaluation of IWD, long and short chain brandling frequencies and gel content. Comparisons between model predictions and experimental data are limited to tulK and solution binary pwlymerization systems.

Models have been formulated to enable the simulation of the concentration vs. radial distance profile as it develops with time, from which the time-dependent concentration vs. distance, d, profile, observed at the probe, can be extracted for comparison with experimental data. Models based on Eqs. (29) and (30) give similar results for conditions encountered practically.

Detailed quantitative analyses of the data allowed the production of a mathematical model, which was able to reproduce all of the characteristics seen in the experiments carried out. Comparing model profiles with the data enabled the diffusion coefficients of the various components and reaction rates to be estimated. It was concluded that oxygen inhibition and latex turbidity present real obstacles to the formation of uniformly cross-linked waterborne coatings in this type of system. This study showed that GARField profiles are sufficiently quantitative to allow comparison with simple models of physical processes. This type of comparison between model and experiment occurs frequently in the analysis of GARField data.

DDE The comparison of model data with observations shows significant discrepancies for the spatial distribution in atmosphere and ocean. The observed concentrations show a decrease from low to high latitudes, whereas the model results show an increase of oceanic concentrations. Therefore, modeled concentrations in the Arctic atmosphere strongly exceed observations. In general, possible could be in-...

An alternative to establishing a new mechanism is adopting (without change) an existing mechanism from the literature to model the system of interest. When a literature mechanism is chosen, it is important to make sure that it is reliable under the conditions of interest. This involves procedures similar to those described above, that is, comparison of modeling predictions with global experimental data and refinement of the mechanism, if necessary. The validation procedure is facilitated if a so-called comprehensive mechanism is available. A mechanism is comprehensive if it has been validated over a wide range of conditions. 

A mathematical model has been developed to describe the kinetics of multicomponent adsorption. The model takes into account diffusional processes in both the solid and fluid phases, and nonlinear adsorption equilibrium. Comparison of model predictions with binary rate data indicates that the model predictions are in excellent for solutes with comparable diffusion rate characteristics. For solutes with markedly different diffusion rate constants, solute-solute interactions appear to affect the diffusional flows. In all cases, the total mixture concentration profiles predicted compares well with experimental data.
