Computer simulation fraction procedure

Other theoretical methods. In addition to the procedure described above, three other theoretical methods have been developed for calculating fractionation factors involving minerals. The first is based on computer simulation of crystal structures and first principles prediction of their thermodynamic properties (Patel et al. 1991 Dove et al. 

The estimation of the jamming coverage for the RSA of monodisperse disks is not an important issue, because its value is already accurately known from Monte Carlo simulations [12], However, it is of interest to develop a procedure that can predict the available area and the jamming coverage for a mixture of disks, for which much Less information is available. Even at equilibrium, for which reasonable accurate equations of state for binary mixtures of hard disks are known for low densities [ 19,20], the available area vanishes only for the unphysical total coverage 9 = 9 +0p = 1 (where the subscripts S and L stand for small and large disk radii, respectively), hence there is no jamming . Exact analytical expressions are known only for the first three virial coefficients of a binary mixture of disks [21], The fourth and fifth coefficients were computed numerically for some diameter ratios and molar fractions for an equilibrium gas [22], However, there are no such calculations for the RSA model.

For gaseous flames, the LES/FMDF can be implemented via two combustion models (1) a finite-rate, reduced-chemistry model for nonequilibrium flames and (2) a near-equilibrium model employing detailed kinetics. In (1), a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is solved together with the FMDF equation for all the scalars (mass fractions and enthalpy). Finite-rate chemistry effects are explicitly and exactly" included in this procedure since the chemistry is closed in the formulation. In (2). the LES/FMDF is employed in conjunction with the equilibrium fuel-oxidation model. This model is enacted via fiamelet simulations, which consider a laminar counterflow (opposed jet) flame configuration. At low strain rates, the flame is usually close to equilibrium. Thus, the thermochemical variables are determined completely by the mixture fraction variable. A fiamelet library is coupled with the LES/FMDF solver in which transport of the mixture fraction is considered. It is useful to emphasize here that the PDF of the mixture fraction is not assumed a priori (as done in almost all other flamelet-based models), but is calculated explicitly via the FMDF. The LES/FMDF/flamelet solver is computationally less expensive than that described in (1) thus, it can be used for more complex flow configurations.
