The above whole calculation is performed actually by inputting the individual values of a, b, c, e, AT, V, p, q2 and (7), - T,et-up) to a computer program used to calculate the for a chemical of the TD type, including every gas-permeable oxidatively-heating substance. 

Various munerical techniques are used to indirectly obtain solutions to large systems of equations with too many imknowns to solve explicitly. One approach is to solve the equations iteratively. This is done by first assuming that all of the anions are unbound and, hence, their free ion concentrations are equal to their total (stoichiometric) concentrations. By substituting these assumed anion concentrations into the cation mass balance equations, an initial estimate is obtained for the free cation concentrations. These cation concentrations are substituted into the anion mass balance equations to obtain a first estimate of the free anion concentrations. These free anion concentrations are then used to recompute the free cation concentrations. The recalculations are continued imtil the resulting free ion concentrations exhibit little change with further iterations. The computer programs used to perform speciation calculations perform these iterations in a matter of seconds. 

In excerpt 3Y, the authors refer to computational results performed with the Gaussian suite of programs, a computational package used to calculate molecular ab initio or semiempirical electronic structure theory. Computational parameters (e.g., the basis set and level of theory) are included in the description. Do not worry if you do not understand the content of excerpt 3Y the language is intended for chemists with a computational or theoretical background.

Thermal conductivity is essential in almost every heat transfer calculation, from such basic applications as component heat conduction and dissipation to the complex computer programs used to simulate plastic manufacturing processes. Plastics fall into the category of materials of intermediate thermal conductivity (0.15-0.4 W/m-K). They are an order of magnitude more conductive than foams and insulation but about five times less conductive than ceramics and glass. This puts them in a unique class by themselves, making this measurement quite important. A number of techniques are available, arising from two basic philosophies as described below. 

All reactions were followed for three or four half-lives and gave good pseudo first-order plots of log(.4, — A o) vs, time, where At is the absorbance at time t and /loo is the absorbance after more than eight half-lives. A computer program which was adapted to the available CDC 3600 computer was used to calculate the least-squares-best slopes for the straight line plots of ln(/l, — /loo) vs. time and was used to obtain the pseudo first-order rate constants. The rate constants were calculated for the first, the first and second, and for the first, second and third half-lives in order to detect trends in the rate data. 

The text listed below provides more details on how the potentiometric titration data may be used to calculate equilibrium constants. This text provides a number of examples and includes a discussion of several computer programs that have been developed to model equilibrium reactions. 

For more precise values, computer programs can be used to calculate soluble recoveiy as weh as solution compositions for conditions that are typical of a CCD circuit, with varying underflow concentrations, stage efficiencies, and solution densities in each of the stages. The calculation sequence is easily performed by utihzing material-balance equations around each thickener. 

Fig. 4.7. If the bar is repeatedly zone refined from left to right then more and more of the impurity will be swept to the right-hand end of the bar. A large number of zone-refining passes may be needed to make the left-hand half of the bar as pure os we need. The right-hand half is cut off and recycled. Note that eqn. (4.9) con only be used to calculate the impurity distribution produced by the first pass. A computer program has to be written to handle each subsequent pass.

Experimentally, the absorbance A(5) of a band is measured as a function of the angle of incidence B and thus of S. Two techniques can be used to determine a(z). A functional form can be assumed for a(z) and Eqs. 2 and 3 used to calculate the Laplace transform A(5) as a function of 8 [4]. Variable parameters in the assumed form of a(z) are adjusted to obtain the best fit of A(5) to the experimental data. Another approach is to directly compute the inverse Laplace transform of A(5) [3,5]. Programs to compute inverse Laplace transforms are available [6]. 

Changes in free energy and the equilibrium constants for Reactions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are quite sensitive to temperature (Figures 2 and 3). These equilibrium constants were used to calculate the composition of the exit gas from the methanator by solving the coupled equilibrium relationships of Reactions 1 and 2 and mass conservation relationships by a Newton-Raphson technique it was assumed that carbon was not formed. Features of the computer program used were as follows (a) any pressure and temperature may be specified (b) an inert gas may be present (c) after... 

An important step toward the understanding and theoretical description of microwave conductivity was made between 1989 and 1993, during the doctoral work of G. Schlichthorl, who used silicon wafers in contact with solutions containing different concentrations of ammonium fluoride.9 The analytical formula obtained for potential-dependent, photoin-duced microwave conductivity (PMC) could explain the experimental results. The still puzzling and controversial observation of dammed-up charge carriers in semiconductor surfaces motivated the collaboration with a researcher (L. Elstner) on silicon devices. A sophisticated computation program was used to calculate microwave conductivity from basic transport equations for a Schottky barrier. The experimental curves could be matched and it was confirmed for silicon interfaces that the analytically derived formulas for potential-dependent microwave conductivity were identical with the numerically derived nonsimplified functions within 10%.10... 

As an option, you can use a computer or a graphing calculator connected to a printer to graph the data. You can use the following instructions or use those that specifically apply to your computer program or graphing calculator. 

Computer aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacture (CAM) programs have been developed to carry out the necessary calculations. One current system known as Polyflow is offered by a Belgian organisation (Polyflow SA). Polyflow can be used to calculate three-dimensional flow and die swell, using finite element analysis. Other systems are available. 

A computer program has been used to calculate the magnitude of systematic errors incurred in the evaluation of equivalence points in hydrochloric acid titrations of total alkalinity and carbonate in seawater by means of Gran plots. Hansson [13] devised a modification of the Gran procedure that gives improved accuracy and precision. The procedure requires approximate knowledge of all stability constants in the titration.
