30 Containment systems Criteria

The 200 m depth required corresponds approximately to the maximum depth of the continental shelf. Recovery of a package from this depth would be possible and desirable. The acceptance criterion for the immersion test is that there is no rupture of the containment system. Further advice may be found in paras 657.2, 657.3 and 657.5-657.7. 

The closed system criterion for equilibrium is dGj-p = 0, but this is obviously inappropriate in this case because is certainly not zero and dn is not necessarily zero because we have said nothing about P. There are in fact no conditions pertaining only to the system containing both A and B that will specify the equilibrium state when the environment is attached to it. This is essentially self-evident. A thermodynamic potential appropriate for the system plus environment must evidently contain terms referring to both parts of the system. 

Criterion 54. Containment system for the reactor Should specifically include internal events and address the question of confinement versus traditional use of containment. ... 

Let us consider a system S with n objects. Suppose we have a criterion which enables us to distribute the objects into different subsets of S. One condition is that no object can belong to any two different subsets. Once the distribution is complete, we may have m subsets containing ni objects, correspondingly, so that LiH = n and I = 1, 2, m. 

The Archimedes number contains parameters that characterize the properties of the heterogeneous system and the criterion establishing the type of settling. The criterion of separation essentially establishes the separating capacity of a sedimentation machine. The product of these criteria is ... 

Similarly, only selected cyclic systems containing more than one sulfoxide or sulfone groups have been included and discussed here, primarily in the thietane (i.e. 1,2- and 1,3-dithietanes) and thiane (i.e. 1,2-, 1,3- and 1,4-dithianes) series. The criterion for the inclusion of these multifunctional heterocycles was their contribution to the understanding of the physical properties and chemical reactivity of cyclic sulfones and sulfoxides, and the effects of these groups on either their immediate vicinity or on the behavior of the whole molecule. 

The following presentation is limited to closed-shell molecular orbital wave-functions. The first section discusses the unique ability of molecular orbital theory to make chemical comparisons. The second section contains a discussion of the underlying basic concepts. The next two sections describe characteristics of canonical and localized orbitals. The fifth section examines illustrative examples from the field of diatomic molecules, and the last section demonstrates how the approach can be valuable even for the delocalized electrons in aromatic ir-systems. All localized orbitals considered here are based on the self-energy criterion, since only for these do the authors possess detailed information of the type illustrated. We plan to give elsewhere a survey of work involving other types of localization criteria.
