Determinant a quantity

In complete accord with a simple numerical evaluation, / — Pmaxr/D0 and the magnitude of DQ decreases the turbulent diffusion is independent of the molecular diffusion coefficient. Let us carefully consider the structure of the quantity r = vX. It is obvious that in a turbulent flow we cannot directly determine a quantity which is linear in the fluctuation velocity. It is no accident that the square of the velocity figured in the original equation. It is precisely the mean square of the velocity and its spectral representation that may be determined in a turbulent flow. Therefore, consistently performing all the calculations, we obtain... 

From this expression, it is possible to determine what percentage of a mixture is accounted for by a given substance. This is done by determining a quantity known as the mole fraction, which is defined as XA (where A is a variable that represents a gas in the mixture) ... 

In his thesis van der Waals expressed his desire to determine a quantity that plays a peculiar role in Laplace s theory of capillarity. He was referring to a molecular pressure, a measure for the cohesion of matter. He was—in the Newtonian tradition—looking for a way of grasping inter-molecular forces, the forces that would appear in his own equation of state. 

Sometimes an investigator has to determine a quantity that is a function of more than one random variable. In such cases, it is very important to know how to calculate the error of the complex quantity in terms of the errors of the individual random variables. This procedure is generally known as propagation of errors and is described in this section. 

As a measure of the (de)hydrogenation function of a catalyst we determine a quantity proportional to the rate constant for the dehydrogenation of cyclohexane under standard conditions. This involves a catalytic test operation providing for (a) conversion levels far below thermodynamic equilibrium conversion, (b) negligible reactant concentration gradients in the catalyst bed, (c) negligible reactant concentration gradients within the (porous) catalyst particles. 

The USP assay (10) of amodiaquine hydrochloride in pure form and in tablets involves ultraviolet spectrophotometric determination. A quantity of the drug equivalent to about 300 mg is dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid (1 100) to obtain a concentration of about IS The absorbance of this solution, along with a solution of undried USP Amodiaquine Hydrochloride RS in the same medium having a known concentration of about IS Ag/nil, is determined at 342 run using dilute hydrochloric add (1 100) as the blank. The quantity, in mg, of C20H22CIN3O, 2HQ in the portion of amodiaquine hydrochloride taken is calculated the formula 20c (Au/As), in which C is the concentration, in /Amodiaquine Hydrochloride RS in the standard solution and Au and As are the absorbances of the solution of amodiaquine hydrochloride and the standard solution respectively. The same method is applied to the assay of amodiaquine hydrochloride in tablets after extraction of the base into chloroform and then re-extraction with dilute hydrochloric acid (1 100). 

From eqn. (14), if one can specify the values of A°n. A/if and one of the orientation functions,/ then the other may be determined by measuring A it. This procedure has been used for semi-crystalline systems where X-ray diffraction is used to determine/r, of all crystalline axes. Thus one can determine/ . a quantity which, in general, is not easy to obtain from two-component systems. The results plotted in Fig. 7 are an example of the data obtained by combining both wide-angle X-ray diffraction and birefringence to uniaxially drawn low density polyethylene. It is clear... 

In short, chemists must stabilize a specific domain of application of the whole complex in order to determine a quantity of a particular type of body within certain limits imposed by standards of normalization and laws. The sentence all things being equal encompasses the co-adaptation and the channeling of multifarious fluctuations which, in turn, leads to the very possibility of making holistic inferences as regards the performance of the whole complex within the normative framework of a quality control process. The ceteris paribus clause is not illusory in the domain of chemistry but refers to a new type of nomological machine, to use Nancy Cartwright s turn of phrase, that is... 

Definition A.IO Analytical redundancy) Use of two, not necessarily identical ways to determine a quantity where one way uses a mathematical process model in analytical form. 

Titrimetric analysis is most likely the oldest method of quantitative analysis. Its commonplace use has continued to date, due to its great simplicity of use and low cost. It is an absolute method to determine a quantity of matter. It is often used in official methods as well as in reference methods of analysis, but it has equal success as a routine quantitative method of analysis. 

Although the rate of dissolving measurements do thus give a quantity identified as the total surface area, this area must include that of a film whose thickness is on the order of a few micrometers but basically is rather indeterminate. Areas determined by this procedure thus will not include microscopic roughness (or fractal nature). 

The "periodic acids and periodates are powerful oxidising agents and they will oxidise manganese to manganate(VlI). a reaction used to determine small quantities of manganese in steel. 

The plaque assay is desirable because it is very sensitive and only detects infectious viral particles. However, there are viral agents which cannot be supported by cell lines. In these cases other methods must be used. The polymerase chain reaction (PGR), which amplifies DNA or RNA from viral agents, can be used to detect the presence and quantity of viral agents. The amount of RNA or DNA target in the initial sample can be determined by competitive PGR where the quantity of amplified product is compared to a control PGR product where the initial amount of target is known. Quantification is also possible by an end-point dilution method similar to that used to determine a tissue culture infections dose. PGR methods can be very sensitive however. 

Weighing is the operation of determining the mass of any material as represented by one or more objects or by a quantity of bulk material. Proportioning is the control, by weighing, of relative quantities of two or more ingredients according to a specific recipe in order to make a mixed product, or to prepare the ingredients for use in a chemical process. 

Thermal Properties and Enduranee. The heat capacity or specific heat, is a quantity of theoretical thermodynamic significance as well as of practical importance. It has been determined for Parylene N over the temperature range of 220 to 620 K (—53 to +347° C) (24,29). 

Surface Area. Surface area is measured by determining the quantity of nitrogen gas that adsorbs on the particle/crystal surfaces of a dry sample. Determination of surface area by measuring adsorption at gas—soHd interfaces is covered extensively in the Hterature (84). Instmments such as the FlowSorb 2300 are used to control the adsorption/desorption within specific conditions of temperature and pressure. 

Trace Mercury. There are a number and variety of methods and instmments to determine trace quantities of both inorganic and organic mercury ia natural or synthetic substances (19) (see also Trace and residue analysis). Literature describiag numerous techniques and trace element analysis of a myriad of mercury-containing substances is available (20). Only the most commonly used methods are mentioned hereia. 

Both nicotinic acid and nicotinamide have been assayed by chemical and biological methods. Owing to the fact that niacin is found in many different forms in nature, it is important to indicate the specific analyte in question. For example, if biological assay procedures are used, it is necessary to indicate whether the analysis is to determine the quantity of nicotinic acid or if niacin activity is the desired result of the analysis. If nicotinic acid is desired, then a method specific for nicotinic acid should be used. If quantitation of niacin activity is the desired outcome, then all compounds (bound and unbound) which behave like niacin will assay biologically for this substance (1). 

Instrumental Quantitative Analysis. Methods such as x-ray spectroscopy, oaes, and naa do not necessarily require pretreatment of samples to soluble forms. Only reUable and verified standards are needed. Other instmmental methods that can be used to determine a wide range of chromium concentrations are atomic absorption spectroscopy (aas), flame photometry, icap-aes, and direct current plasma—atomic emission spectroscopy (dcp-aes). These methods caimot distinguish the oxidation states of chromium, and speciation at trace levels usually requires a previous wet-chemical separation. However, the instmmental methods are preferred over (3)-diphenylcarbazide for trace chromium concentrations, because of the difficulty of oxidizing very small quantities of Cr(III). 

The yield in a chemical reaction determines the quantities of materials in the material balance. Assumed yields are used to obtain approximate exploratoiy estimates. In this case, possible ranges should be given. Firmer estimates require yields based on laboratoiy or, preferably, pilot-plant work. 

Example 3 Air Heating Air is heated by a steam coil from 30 F dry-bulb temperature and 80 percent relative humidity to 75 F dry-bulb temperature. Find the relative humidity, wet-bulb temperature, and dew point of the heated air. Determine the quantity of heat added per pound of dry air. 

QUENCH LIQUID QUANTITY A good discussion of the factors determining the quantity of quench hquid required is presented by CCPS (AIChE-CCPS, 1995). 

Cyclic tests can be perfonned in just a few months to simulate years of fill and discharge cycles. The adsorbent filled ANG tank is repeatedly charged with natural gas to a preset pressure, then discharged through a flow meter to determine the quantity of gas delivered from each cycle. 

To confirm the pertinence of a particular dispersion equation, it is necessary to use extremely precise and accurate data. Such data can only be obtained from carefully designed apparatus that provides minimum extra-column dispersion. In addition, it is necessary to employ columns that have intrinsically large peak volumes so that any residual extra-column dispersion that will contribute to the overall variance is not significant. Such conditions were employed by Katz et al. (E. D. Katz, K. L. Ogan and R. P. W. Scott, J. Chromatogr., 270(1983)51) to determine a large quantity of column dispersion data that overall had an accuracy of better than 3%. The data they obtained are as follows and can be used confidently to evaluate other dispersion equations should they appear in the literature. 

The initial moisture content is a determinant factor in the rate of heat transfer to the center of the core mat [226,227]. At short press closing times the rapid temperature rise occurs at the same time for both lower and higher moisture content percentages indicating that the steam condensation front reaches the core at the same rate and that this is then determined more by local permeability rather than local moisture content. The slope of the rise is similar as it is the balance of horizontal and vertical permeability which controls the rate of steam flow to the core layer. Furthermore, water remains in the surface layer in a quantity such as...
