Cumulative properties composition

Bauer et al. describe the use of a noncontact probe coupled by fiber optics to an FT-Raman system to measure the percentage of dry extractibles and styrene monomer in a styrene/butadiene latex emulsion polymerization reaction using PLS models [201]. Elizalde et al. have examined the use of Raman spectroscopy to monitor the emulsion polymerization of n-butyl acrylate with methyl methacrylate under starved, or low monomer [202], and with high soUds-content [203] conditions. In both cases, models could be built to predict multiple properties, including solids content, residual monomer, and cumulative copolymer composition. Another study compared reaction calorimetry and Raman spectroscopy for monitoring n-butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate and for vinyl acetate/butyl acrylate, under conditions of normal and instantaneous conversion [204], Both techniques performed well for normal conversion conditions and for overall conversion estimate, but Raman spectroscopy was better at estimating free monomer concentration and instantaneous conversion rate. However, the authors also point out that in certain situations, alternative techniques such as calorimetry can be cheaper, faster, and often easier to maintain accurate models for than Raman spectroscopy, hi a subsequent article, Elizalde et al. found that updating calibration models after... 

A solid structural substance produced by a combination of two or more materials that retain their identities. Typically, one of the materials combined is the strengthening agent, the other being the matrix (a thermoset or a thermoplastic resin). The word composite is also used for systems that are reinforced (reinforced where cumulative properties are superior to the individual components) by addition of certain solid particles (i.e., short fibre composites - long fibre composites - continuous fibre composites). 

The distribution in bipolymers can be displayed on a two-axis graph, in which the ordinate gives the sum of all the fractions W and the abscissa gives the properties in this case the compositions. A cumulative (integral) compositional distribution of this kind can be obtained from fractionation data after one or two calculations, as shown, for example, for the data given in Table 2-6. 

A note on intensive and extensive properties Many things we are surrounded with can be added or subtracted money, apples, liters of gas. Mass, distance, volume, and time can accumulate and this is how we label them cumulative properties. We can also use the words extrinsic or extensive for these properties. Pressure, on the other hand, depends on two quantities, two properties force and area. We say that pressure is a composite property. For this reason we cannot add, subtract, or multiply two pressures. There are other properties that cannot be added, subtracted, and multiplied with each other and we have a common name for them intensive properties. Other words with the same meaning as intensive are intrinsic or specific.

In Table 2 the textural properties of all the composites heat-treated at 150°, 500°C and 850°C are presented. The sample designation is the same as that used for the raw materials with the addition of the letter m to indicate that the results refer to monolith composites. The total pore volume is the sum of the micro- and mesopore volumes (0-2 nm and 2-50 nm) calculated from the corresponding nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, and the macroporosity (50 nm - 100 pm) determined from MIP, respectively. The threshold diameter was that at which in the MIP analysis there was a sudden upswing in the cumulative volume curve where a large part of the porous network became filled. This pore size can be considered as that which controls any transport phenomena through the solid sample. 

Recent advances in computational chemistry have made it possible to calculate enthalpies of formation from quantum mechanical first principles for rather large unsaturated molecules, some of which are outside the practical range of combustion thermochemistry. Quantum mechanical calculations of molecular thermochemical properties are, of necessity, approximate. Composite quantum mechanical procedures may employ approximations at each of several computational steps and may have an empirical factor to correct for the cumulative error. Approximate methods are useful only insofar as the error due to the various approximations is known within narrow limits. Error due to approximation is determined by comparison with a known value, but the question of the accuracy of the known value immediately arises because the uncertainty of the comparison is determined by the combined uncertainty of the approximate quantum mechanical result and the standard to which it is compared. 

A special case occurs when two dissolution profiles are compared. This is often the case when a change has been introduced in the composition, manufacturing process or manufacturing site. The aim is then to maintain the same dissolution properties as for the original version. Such comparisons of dissolution profiles are performed by calculating a similarity factor, f2, which is calculated as follows from cumulative mean data (Shah et al. 1998) ... 

The two extremes, using instantaneous and cumulative phase predictions discussed above, provide only the framework for the total variability, which can be expected in the reservoir filling history studied here. Unravelling the evolution of petroleum fluid compositions in the Snorre Field through time would require a model resolution far exceeding what can be handled in reasonable computing time. The approach shown allows, however, a prediction of fluid properties, which is much closer to the natural fluid compositions than previously possible. This compositional kinetic scheme is the first of its kind to allow reasonable petroleum phase behaviour assessment in the simulation of basin evolution and hydrocarbon migration.
