In this appendix, we discuss some interesting properties of the Legendre transform result (29) for the moment entropy of mixing, in particular its relation to large deviation theory (LDT). 

FIGURE 11 An entropy function in the sense of fluctuation (i.e., large-deviation) theory, describing how fast the mean magnetization of a spin system gets classical with an increasing number of spins. The figure is based on an approximate calculation for the Curie-Weiss model. The temperature is fixed and has been taken here as one third of the critical (Curie) temperature. Above the Curie temperature the respective entropy Sn ,an would only have one minimum, nameiy, at m = 0. 

If we look at a small portion of a macroscopic system or study a mesoscopic system, we must study fluctuations. The probability of fluctuations is phenomenologically described by the thermodynamic theory of fluctuations (5). From the ensemble theory point of view, the fluctuation theory is the study of large deviations from the expectation value. This is the reason why large deviation theory is becoming increasingly important in statistical thermodynamics. Standard works on large deviation theory are References 16 and 17 perhaps as accessible introduction to the topic may be found in Reference 18. 

Figure 3 presents results for acetic acid(1)-water(2) at 1 atm. In this case deviations from ideality are important for the vapor phase as well as the liquid phase. For the vapor phase, calculations are based on the chemical theory of vapor-phase imperfections, as discussed in Chapter 3. Calculated results are in good agreement with similar calculations reported by Lemlich et al. (1957). ...

The osmotic coefficients from the HNC approximation were calculated from the virial and compressibility equations the discrepancy between ([ly and ((ij is a measure of the accuracy of the approximation. The osmotic coefficients calculated via the energy equation in the MS approximation are comparable in accuracy to the HNC approximation for low valence electrolytes. Figure A2.3.15 shows deviations from the Debye-Htickel limiting law for the energy and osmotic coefficient of a 2-2 RPM electrolyte according to several theories. 

The assumption that the free energy is analytic at the critical point leads to classical exponents. Deviations from this require tiiat this assumption be abandoned. In mean-field theory. 

The McMillan-Mayer theory offers the most usefiil starting point for an elementary theory of ionic interactions, since at high dilution we can incorporate all ion-solvent interactions into a limitmg chemical potential, and deviations from solution ideality can then be explicitly coimected with ion-ion interactions only. Furthemiore, we may assume that, at high dilution, the interaction energy between two ions (assuming only two are present in the solution) will be of the fomi... 

In the case of bunolecular gas-phase reactions, encounters are simply collisions between two molecules in the framework of the general collision theory of gas-phase reactions (section A3,4,5,2 ). For a random thennal distribution of positions and momenta in an ideal gas reaction, the probabilistic reasoning has an exact foundation. Flowever, as noted in the case of unimolecular reactions, in principle one must allow for deviations from this ideal behaviour and, thus, from the simple rate law, although in practice such deviations are rarely taken into account theoretically or established empirically. 

Some density functional theory methods occasionally yield frequencies with a bit of erratic behavior, but with a smaller deviation from the experimental results than semiempirical methods give. Overall systematic error with the better DFT functionals is less than with HF. 

The multiple use of logarithms in the analysis presented by Fig. 4.9 obliterates much of the deviation between theory and experiment. More stringent tests can be performed by other numerical methods. 

Traditionally, the average specific cake and medium resistances have been deterrnined from constant pressure experiments and the solution of the basic filtration equation for constant pressure which relates filtrate volume to time. This relationship is, in theory, paraboHc but deviations occur in practice. 

Conventional filtration theory has been challenged a two-phase theory has been appHed to filtration and used to explain the deviations from paraboHc behavior in the initial stages of the filtration process (10). This new theory incorporates the medium as an integral part of the process and shows that the interaction of the cake particles with the medium controls filterabiHty. It defines a cake-septum permeabiHty which then appears in the slope of the conventional plots instead of the cake resistance. This theory, which merely represents a new way of interpreting test data rather than a new method of siting or scaling filters, is not yet accepted by the engineering community. 

Anodic deposition is controlled by either fluid shear (cross-flow filtration) (48), similar to gel-polarization control, or by continual anode replacement (electrodeposited paints) (46). High fluid shear rates can cause deviations from theory when E > (49). The EUF efficiency drops rapidly... 

However, the kinetics of PVC emulsion does not foUow the above theory. The rate shows the same increasing behavior with conversion as mass polymerization (94,95). [N depends on [3], but the relationship varies with the emulsifier type (96,97). However, the rate is nearly independent of [N (95). The average number of radicals per particle is low, 0.0005 to 0.1 (95). The high solubiUty of vinyl chloride in water, 0.6 wt %, accounts for a strong deviation from tme emulsion behavior. Also, PVC s insolubiUty in its own monomer accounts for such behavior as a rate dependence on conversion. 

Normal Fluids. Asymmetrical compounds having Httle molecular interaction, eg, carbon monoxide, / -butane, and / -hexane, deviate slightly from the theory of corresponding states and are considered to be normal fluids. 

In effect, the standard deviation quantifies the relative magnitude of the deviation numbers, i.e., a special type of average of the distance of points from their center. In statistical theory, it turns out that the corresponding variance quantities s have remarkable properties which make possible broad generalities for sample statistics and therefore also their counterparts, the standard deviations. 

T] Check of 132 data points showed average deviation 14.6% from theory. Johnstone and Pig-ford [Ref. 105] correlation (5-22-D) has exponent on Nue rounded to 0.8. Assume gauze packing is completely wet. Thus, = a, to calculate Hq and Same approach may be used generally applicable to sheet-metal packings, but they will not be completely wet and need to estimate transfer area.
