Contours Construction

The tube is a construct which we might continue to sketch around an emerging chain as it diffuses out of the original sleeve. Instead, it is convenient to start with the tube initially in place and consider how long it takes for the molecule to escape. The initial entanglements which determine the contours of the tube comprise a set of constraints from which the molecule is relaxing, even if only to diffuse into another similar set. Accordingly, we identify this reptation time as a relaxation time r for the molecule. 

The data on which Fig. 8.74 is based are for tests carried out in carbonate well-water. McAdam made the further interesting discovery that if mild steel were tested in condenser water and a similar graph constructed, the set of contours corresponded more closely to the right-hand side of Fig. 8.74, i.e. the behaviour of mild steel in condenser water was similar to that of Monel in carbonate water. The apparent universality of this diagram is an interesting observation, but it has not provoked a basic theory of corrosion fatigue. 

A crude idea of the real situation can be obtained with the help of the contour diagram in Fig. 2, which was constructed with the assistance of many energies calculated for different points (Rp R2)16). 

The study of the peak temperature sensitivity to the reactor operating parameters and the construction of sensitivity boundary curves for stable reactor operation were previously reported ( l). This paper presents a computer study on conceptual relationships between the conversion-product properties and the reactor operating parameters in a plug flow tubular reactor of free radical polymerization. In particular, a contour map of conversion-molecular weight relationships in a reactor of fixed size is presented and the sensitivity of its relationship to the choice of initiator system, solvent system and heat transfer system are discussed.

Curves were constructed using varying jacket temperatures (kinetic parameters for the initiator Ea = 32.921 Kcal/mol In k/ = 26.494 In sec f = 0.5 (------------------------) optimum operating line)...

(Use different colors to distinguish the different orbitals.) What does your contour drawing tell you about the importance of the = 2 orbitals for chemical interactions when the 3 Px orbital contains electrons ... 

The ZOE impression paste is used in taking impressions of the mouth prior to constructing a denture. It is used as a corrective impression material after a preliminary impression has been taken (Phillips, 1982a). A preliminary impression lacks detail so it is necessary to take a secondary or corrective impression which is placed on a tray that has the contours of the preliminary impression.

It is estimated that between 1000 and 2500 m3 ha-1 of water are required to produce a rice crop in the southern US and generally less than one third of that requirement is met by rainfall [35]. Levees, which separate fields into bays, or paddies, and control flood depth (i.e., by use of gates or spills), are commonly constructed on contours that were surveyed on 3 to 6 cm vertical intervals. This creates winding, contour-shaped levees in fields that are not precision-leveled, whereas precision leveling to a uniform grade of 0.2% or less allows the construction of uniformly spaced, straight levees and may reduce the number of levees required [34].

Figure 2 was constructed by contouring of values calculated from the flow net of figure 1. Much more complex diagrams are possible provided sufficient information concerning the aquifer and fluid-flow conditions can be obtained. For simple boundary conditions and homogeneous aquifers, a direct analytical solution for isochronal surfaces is available [2]. 

This behavior can be shown graphically by constructing the rD-7 -/A relation from equation 5.3-16, in which kp kr, and Keq depend on T. This is a surface in three-dimensional space, but Figure 5.2 shows the relation in two-dimensional contour form, both for an exothermic reaction and an endothermic reaction, with /A as a function of T and ( rA) (as a parameter). The full line in each case represents equilibrium conversion. Two constant-rate ( -rA) contours are shown in each case (note the direction of increase in (- rA) in each case). As expected, each rate contour exhibits a maximum for the exothermic case, but not for the endothermic case. 

Neither of the problems illustrated in Figures 4.5 and 4.6 had more than one optimum. It is easy, however, to construct nonlinear programs in which local optima occur. For example, if the objective function / had two minima and at least one was interior to the feasible region, then the constrained problem would have two local minima. Contours of such a function are shown in Figure 4.7. Note that the minimum at the boundary point x1 = 3, x2 = 2 is the global minimum at / = 3 the feasible local minimum in the interior of the constraints is at / = 4. 

For well-posed quadratic objective functions the contours always form a convex region for more general nonlinear functions, they do not (see tlje next section for an example). It is helpful to construct contour plots to assist in analyzing the performance of multivariable optimization techniques when applied to problems of two or three dimensions. Most computer libraries have contour plotting routines to generate the desired figures. 

With regard to comprehensive LC data elaboration, the acquired data is commonly elaborated with dedicated software that constructs a matrix with rows corresponding to the duration of the second-dimension analysis and data columns covering all successive second-dimension chromatograms. The result is a bidimensional contour plot, where each component is represented as an ellipse-shaped peak, defined by double-axis retention time coordinates. When creating a 3D chromatogram, a third axis by means of relative intensity is added. The colour and dimension of each peak is related to the quantity of each compound present in the sample. Figure 4.9 illustrates an example of data elaboration in comprehensive LC.
