Dimensional analysis, advantages

Other dimensional systems have been developed for special appHcations which can be found in the technical Hterature. In fact, to increase the power of dimensional analysis, it is advantageous to differentiate between the lengths in radial and tangential directions (13). In doing so, ambiguities for the concepts of energy and torque, as well as for normal stress and shear stress, are eliminated (see Ref. 13). 

To compute C, the only unknown is A. It is advantageous to regard the product S(A ) 1 as the unknown. Dimensional analysis shows that it is a ncxnc square matrix (nc =number of components), we call it a transformation matrix T ... 

Photoacoustic imaging method is useful for the analysis of localization of various components in two-dimension and photoacoustic method has one more advantage that it can be applied to the non-destructive depth-profiling. Thus, in future, 3-dimensional analysis should be possible by this method. For the development of this possibility, the model experiments were performed. 

The advantages made possible by correct and timely use of dimensional analysis are as follows ... 

Because moles are a new idea, dimensional analysis will be useful to you in solving mole problems. You can rely on units and their cancelation in setting up problems correctly. Another advantage is that this approach works with any kind of problem involving units and their numbers. 

The first important advantage of using dimensional analysis exists in the essential compression of the statement. The second important advantage of its use is related to the safeguarding of a secure scale-up. This will be convincingly shown in the next two examples. 

Heat transfer processes are described by physical properties and process-related parameters, the dimensions of which not only include the base dimensions of Mass, Length and Time but also Temperature, , as the fourth one. In the discussion of the heat transfer characteristic of a mixing vessel (Example 20) it was shown that, in the dimensional analysis of thermal problems, it is advantageous to expand the dimensional system to include the amount of heat, H [kcal], as the fifth base dimension. Joule s mechanical equivalent of heat, J, must then be introduced as the corresponding dimensional constant in the relevance list. Although this procedure does not change the pi-space, a dimensionless number is formed which contains J and, as such, frequently proves to be irrelevant. As a result, the pi-set is finally reduced by one dimensionless number. 

In fact, the advantage of these combinations of numbers obtained by making differential equations dimensionless, over those combinations delivered by dimensional analysis, is that they characterize certain types of mass and heat transfer, respec-... 

For instance, the processes of motion in the living world are perfectly describable by dimensional analysis and from these correlations valuable information is obtained about a similar process concerning another, larger or older species. The scale-invariance of dimensionless representation is an advantage for the living world, which should not be underestimated The relevant dimensions of length span here over a whole of eight decades. 

In problems like this, it is helpful to express the equation in dimensionless form (at present, all the terms in (I) have the dimensions of force.) The advantage of a dimensionless formulation is that we know how to define small—it means much less than 1. Furthermore, nondimensionalizing the equation reduces the number of parameters by lumping them together into dimensionless groups. This reduction always simplifies the analysis. For an excellent introduction to dimensional analysis, see Lin and Segel (1988). 

The GCxGC resolution advantage is known to improve the efficiency of enantioselective essential oil analysis (in contrast to one-dimensional analysis). In a single temperature-programmed analysis, the individual antipodes of optically active components can be separated and are effectively free from matrix interferences. The enantiomeric compositions of a number of monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated monoterpenes in Australian tea tree Melaleuca alternifolia), including sabinene, a-pinene, (3-phellandrene, limonene, trans-sabinene hydrate, ds-sabinene hydrate, linalool, terpinen-4-ol, and a-terpineol shown in Figure 7,... 

Buckingham is best known for his early work on thermodynamics and for his later study of dimensional theory. Attracted to problems that could not be solved by pure calculation but requiring experimentation as well, he demonstrated more clearly than anybody before him how the planning and interpretation of experiments can be facilitated by the method of dimensions, later referred to as dimensional analysis. He pointed out the advantages of dimensionless variables and how to generalize empirical equations. His frequently cited ir-theorem serves to reduce the number of independent variables and shows how to experiment on geometrically similar models so as to satisfy the most general requirements of physieal as well as dynamic similarity. 

Note that application of the above procedure does not require physical separation of the component dyes prior to spectroscopic analysis. Nevertheless, the procedure is two dimensional because separation of the ESI-MS ions does occur within the first mass filter of the triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The use of a tandem mass spectrometer affords the advantages of a two dimensional analysis, without some of the disadvantages associated with physically separating a mfacture of compounds into its individual components.
