Dummies

Before attempting to answer this question, let us first summarize the procedure of section 11.3 in a slightly modified form. Equations (11.20) and (11.21) provide a set of simultaneous ordinary differential equations to determine the pressure and the composition, represented by mole fractions Xi,..,Xn in terms of the dummy variable. If at least one of the x s varies monotonically with X, so that its derivative never vanishes, we may use this x in place of X as an Independent variable. Without loss of generality this x may be labelled x, so we may divide equation (11.20) and each equation (11.21) for r = 2,...,n-l, by equation (11.21)...

The ring closure bond between atoms 1 and 5 would be strongly coupled to the other internal coordinates inless dummy atoms are used to define the Z-matrix (right). 

The notation < i j k 1> introduced above gives the two-electron integrals for the g(r,r ) operator in the so-called Dirac notation, in which the i and k indices label the spin-orbitals that refer to the coordinates r and the j and 1 indices label the spin-orbitals referring to coordinates r. The r and r denote r,0,( ),a and r, 0, ( ), a (with a and a being the a or P spin functions). The fact that r and r are integrated and hence represent dummy variables introduces index permutational symmetry into this list of integrals. For example,... 

Note that the distance to the dummy atoms is held fixed at 1.0 A. This value was chosen arbitrarily. The calculation would likely fail if told to optimize this distance because there is no energy associated with it. 

Molecules with rings should always be given a dummy atom in the center of the ring. The atoms in the ring should then be referenced to the central dummy atom rather than each other. Here is a Z-matrix for a benzene molecule enforcing Dfih symmetry ... 

Coordination creates additional problems also. Consider the metal-Cp bond in a metallocene. One option is to have five bonds from the metal to each carbon. A second option is to have a single bond connecting to a dummy atom at the center of the Cp ring. 

Babel (we tested Version 1.6) is a utility for converting computational chemistry input hies from one format to another. It is able to interconvert about 50 different hie formats, including conversions between SMILES, Cartesian coordinate, and Z-matrix input. The algorithm that generates a Z-matrix from Cartesian coordinates is fairly simplistic, so the Z-matrix will correctly represent the geometry, but will not include symmetry, dummy atoms, and the like. Babel can be run with command line options or in a menu-driven mode. There have been some third-party graphic interfaces created for Babel. 

Some power tubes can be operated without the need for a protective ferrite isolator. One example is the cooker magnetron (700 W) used in modern microwave ovens (57). At higher power levels, such as 25 kW, it is more common to employ a protective ferrite device, particularly in the form of a circulator (58), as shown in Figure 3. This results in a power loss equivalent to a few percentage points in system efficiency. The ferrite circulator prevents reflected power from returning to the power tube and instead directs it into an auxiHary dummy load. The pulling of tube frequency is thus minimised. 

Thus, the value of a definite integral depends on the limits a, b, and any selected variable coefficients in the func tion but not on the dummy variable of integrations. Symbolically... 

Subscript i identifies species, and J is a dummy index all summations are over all species. Note that Xp however, when i = J, then Xu = = 1. In these equations / (a relative molecular volume) and (a relative molecular surface area) are pure-species parameters. The influence of temperature on g enters through the interaction parameters Xp of Eq. (4-261), which are temperature dependent ... 

Again subscript i identifies species, and J and I are dummy indicies. Values for the parameters r, qi, and (up — tip) are given by Gmehhng, Onken, and Ant (Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Data Collection, Chemistry Data Series, vol. I, parts 1-8, DECHEMA, FrankfurUMain, 1974-1990). 

Dummy tubes. These tubes do not pass through the tube sheets and can be located close to the inside of the shell. 

Dummy tubes or tie rods with spacers may be located within the pass partition lanes (and between the baffle cuts) in order to ensure maximum bundle penetration by the shell-side fluid. 

Note Dummy panels are also healed simultaneously, the same way, as the panel under test... 

Equations (5)-(8) assume that the energy functions (7 and Ub operate on the same conformation space i.e., A and B must have the same number N of degrees of freedom. In practice, this almost always implies that A and B have the same number of atoms or particles. Most biochemical changes of interest (e.g., point mutations of a protein) do not obey this requirement, but they can often be made to do so artificially through the use of dummy atoms (see below).
