Abstract Unsteady liquid flow and chemical reaction characterize hydrodynamic dispersion in soils and other porous materials and flow equations are complicated by the need to account for advection of the solute with the water, and competitive adsorption of solute components. Advection of the water and adsorbed species with the solid phase in swelling systems is an additional complication. Computers facilitate solution of these equations but it is often physically more revealing when we discriminate between flow of the solute with and relative to, the water and the flow of solution with and relative to, the solid phase. Spacelike coordinates that satisfy material balance of the water, or of the solid, achieve this separation. Advection terms are implicit in the space-like coordinate and the flow equations are focused on solute movement relative to the water and water relative to soil solid. This paper illustrates some of these issues. 

The past two decades have seen a marked change in the reporting of the application of various techniques to the determination of structure. Most papers relating to the synthesis of organic molecules now confine comments on UV and IR data to a minimum. While NMR data are presented in more detail, much 13C NMR spectral information is often presented simply as a catalogue of chemical shifts with little or no attempt at assignment. X-Ray structural determinations have become more commonplace and many papers now contain ORTEP representations of molecules. In addition, proposed structures are frequently supported by calculations and computer-assisted representations. 

The Intel 8086 or 8088 microprocessors could be used in conjunction with the Intel 8087 floating point processor chip (4) which is probably twice as fast as the Am9511A for on-chip operations and includes extended precision arithmetic in its instruction set. Unfortunately the 8087 was only laid down on paper, not silicon, when this work started. The 8087 is now (January 1981) available in sample quantities at a price far in excess of the Am9511A. In addition to the price and availability problem the instruction set of the 8087 is less suited to chemical computations than the Am9511A in that many transcen-... 

Figure 2 Number of papers added each year to the CJACS (Current Journals of the American Chemical Society) database file of the Chemical Abstracts Service. This file contains full text of each paper published. For purposes of this figure, computational chemistry papers are counted based on any mention of at least one of the 60 or so programs covered in this chapter. Among these programs are many of those most widely used, as well as a sampling of additional computational chemistry programs. The numbers of computational chemistry papers in this plot are lower bounds to the true numbers, however, because there are thousands of other programs in use.

Takeuchi et al. 7 reported a membrane reactor as a reaction system that provides higher productivity and lower separation cost in chemical reaction processes. In this paper, packed bed catalytic membrane reactor with palladium membrane for SMR reaction has been discussed. The numerical model consists of a full set of partial differential equations derived from conservation of mass, momentum, heat, and chemical species, respectively, with chemical kinetics and appropriate boundary conditions for the problem. The solution of this system was obtained by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). To perform CFD calculations, a commercial solver FLUENT has been used, and the selective permeation through the membrane has been modeled by user-defined functions. The CFD simulation results exhibited the flow distribution in the reactor by inserting a membrane protection tube, in addition to the temperature and concentration distribution in the axial and radial directions in the reactor, as reported in the membrane reactor numerical simulation. On the basis of the simulation results, effects of the flow distribution, concentration polarization, and mass transfer in the packed bed have been evaluated to design a membrane reactor system. 

In other cases [166, 167] literature values for (supposedly) fc(w) taken from quantum chemical calculations were used to separate the Ag and Aj contributions. While this is in principle preferred over the first approach, the use of computational data leads to questions concerning their reliability, as low-level data might easily deteriorate the accuracy of the quadrupole moments obtained in this way. In addition, there has been some confusion in the earlier literature concerning the hyperpolarizability correction term / ( >). In the original papers by Buckingham and coworkers [134, 168] this term was called B and was referred to as a quadrupole hyperpolarizability. This was apparently misunderstood and led to the incorrect use of the averaged static dipole-dipole-quadrupole hyperpolarizability correction term instead of in the determination of the quadrupole moment [166, 167]. 

Professors Kenichi Fukui (Kyoto University) and Roald Hoffmann (Cornell University) received the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their quantum mechanical studies of chemical reactivity. Their applied theoretical chemistry research is certainly at the core of computational chemistry by today s yardstick. Professor Fukui s name is associated with frontier electrons, which govern the transition states in reactions, while that of Hoffmann is often hyphenated to R. B. Woodward s name in regard to their orbital symmetry rules. In addition, Professor Hoffmann s name is strongly identified with the extended Hiickel molecular orbital method. Not only was he a pioneer in the development of the method, he has continued to use it in almost all of his over 300 papers.
