In connection with Eq. (1.4), we noted that the standard deviation measures the spread of a distribution now we see that the ratio M /M also measures this polydispersity. The relationship between these two different measures of polydispersity is easily shown. Equation (1.14) may be written as... 

Similar models for the crystal stmcture of Fortisan Cellulose II came from two separate studies despite quite different measured values of the diffraction intensities (66,70). Both studies concluded that the two chains in the unit cell were packed antiparallel. Hydrogen bonding between chains at the corners and the centers of the unit cells, not found in Cellulose I, was proposed to account for the increased stabiUty of Cellulose II. The same model, with... 

The behavior of colloidal suspensions is controlled by iaterparticle forces, the range of which rarely extends more than a particle diameter (see Colloids). Consequentiy suspensions tend to behave like viscous Hquids except at very high particle concentrations when the particles are forced iato close proximity. Because many coating solutions consist of complex mixtures of polymer and coUoidal material, a thorough characterization of the bulk rheology requires a number of different measurements. 

Thermocouples are unsurpassed for making temperature-difference measurements. The thermoelectric power of thermocouple materials makes them adequate for use at hquid-air temperatures and above. At 20 K and below, the thermoelectric power drops to a few lV/K, and their use in this range is as much art as science. 

Thermal turbulence is turbulence induced by the stability of the atmosphere. When the Earth s surface is heated by the sun s radiation, the lower layer of the atmosphere tends to rise and thermal turbulence becomes greater, especially under conditions of light wind. On clear nights with wind, heat is radiated from the Earth s surface, resulting in the cooling of the ground and the air adjacent to it. This results in extreme stabihty of the atmosphere near the Earth s surface. Under these conditions, turbulence is at a minimum. Attempts to relate different measures of turbulence of the wind (or stability of the atmosphere) to atmospheric diffusion have been made for some time. The measurement of atmospheric stabihty by temperature-difference measurements on a tower is frequently ntihzed as an indirect measure of turbulence, particularly when climatological estimates of turbulence are desired.

Many different measures of local ventilation performance exist. These measures can be divided into three main categories capture velocities, capture efficiencies, and containment efficiencies. Table 10.1 shows the connections between hood types and different efficiency measurements. Section 10.5 describes procedures for measuring each of these performance measures. 

Frequently the value of the quantity of interest has to be determined indirectly. For example, the determination of the efficiency of any system is based on the measurement of several quantities and some equation relating the measured quantities X, and the final quantity Y under consideration. When the confidence limits of the different measured quantities are known, and the relationship y = f(X,) is known, an estimate for the cumulated confidence limits dy of the final quantity can be determined from... 

The absolute, barometric pressure is not normally required in ventilation measurements. The air density determination is based on barometric pressure, but other applications are sufficiently rare. On the other hand, the measurement of pressure difference is a frequent requirement, as so many other quantities are based on pressure difference. In mass flow or volume flow measurement using orifice, nozzle, and venturi, the measured quantity is the pressure difference. Also, velocity measurement with the Pitot-static tube is basically a pressure difference measurement. Other applications for pressure difference measurement are the determination of the performance of fans and air and gas supply and e. -haust devices, the measurement of ductwork tightness or building envelope leakage rate, as well as different types of ventilation control applications. 

Tracer methods are not as well standardized as some of the conventional methods. One standard is available, but it comprises radioactive tracers only, which are perhaps not the best alternative for measurements in buildings. In principle, at least three different measurement methods are available the... 

This method involves very simple and inexpensive equipment that could be set up m any laboratory [9, 10] The equipment consists of a 250-mL beaker (used as an external half-cell), two platinum foil electrodes, a glass tube with asbestos fiber sealed m the bottom (used as an internal half-cell), a microburet, a stirrer, and a portable potentiometer The asbestos fiber may be substituted with a membrane This method has been used to determine the fluoride ion concentration in many binary and complex fluondes and has been applied to unbuffered solutions from Willard-Winter distillation, to lon-exchange eluant, and to pyrohydrolysis distil lates obtained from oxygen-flask or tube combustions The solution concentrations range from 0 1 to 5 X 10 M This method is based on complexing by fluonde ions of one of the oxidation states of the redox couple, and the potential difference measured is that between the two half-cells Initially, each cell contains the same ratio of cerium(IV) and cerium(tll) ions... 

The latest trend is to smaller beads in smaller columns, as this saves eluent and shortens the time for a chromatographic analysis. This argument can be correct if only one suitable detector is used. However, these modern small columns are not optimal for a combination of detectors. So-called multiple detection is a combination of some detectors with different measurement principles (differential refractometer, spectral photometer, light-scattering detector, on-line viscometer) behind the last column, mostly in series, seldom in a branched ( parallel ) order. In this way, the tedious preparative fractionation of a polymer sample can often be avoided. 

Instrumental methods of analysis provide different measures of the progress of reaction. Consider this kinetie system as observed by absorption speetroseopy. Beer s law applied to the system gives... 

In section 8.2 we described the solvophobic effect, which theory leads us to expect is related to the solvent surface tension. Abraham et al. have developed a different measure of solvophobicity by relating the transfer free energy W)... 

A macro supply curve of conserved electricity tor the U.S. residential sector. Key assumptions are given inside the chart. This supply curve shows estimated savings potentials from 304 different measures. The associated table describing the measures is too long to present here, but certain measures with numbers on top of them are noteworthy from a policy perspective. For example, measure 80 is conversion from conventional water heaters to heat pump water heaters. 

AMCP 706-177 (1971) gives the power of PETN as 145% of TNT in the Ballistic Mortar and 173% of TNT in the Trauzl block. It also lists PETN s brisance at 1.5g/cc as 129% of TNT as detd in plate dent test. The Russians use a somewhat different measure of power which they call total efficiency . This involves computing expln product expansion to 1 atm. Andreev Belyaev (Ref 25, p 655) list the total efficiency of 1.6g/cc PETN as 134% of TNT... 

The materials to be investigated have to be incorporated into electrochemical cells in such a way as to permit the influx and the reflection of microwaves. The electrodes have to be adjusted to the microwave techniques that will be used for the investigation. Basically three different measurement approaches can be distinguished (Fig. 3). The simplest technique for microwave conductivity studies [Fig. 3(a)] is to place the sample directly at the exit of an ordinary waveguide. This setup has the advantage of being very simple and relatively transparent with respect to the phenomena occurring. Microwave power is reflected from the sample... 

We use a different measure of concentration when writing expressions for the equilibrium constants of reactions that involve species other than gases. Thus, for a species J that forms an ideal solution in a liquid solvent, the partial pressure in the expression for K is replaced by the molarity fjl relative to the standard molarity c° = 1 mol-L 1. Although K should be written in terms of the dimensionless ratio UJ/c°, it is common practice to write K in terms of [J] alone and to interpret each [JJ as the molarity with the units struck out. It has been found empirically, and is justified by thermodynamics, that pure liquids or solids should not appear in K. So, even though CaC03(s) and CaO(s) occur in the equilibrium...
