Arii et al. [447] have used an integrated simultaneous TG-DTA/GC-MS system with dynamic rate control (DRC), a form of a high-resolution TG technique. In this DRC method the heating rate is controlled in such a way that the absolute value of a sample s temperature decrease rate is expressed as a monotonous function of the sample s weight decrease or decomposition rate. This feature improves... 

For the evaluation of the rheology of the silica dispersions, different test methods were applied (a) a shear rate-controlled relaxation experiment at = 0.5 s (conditioning), 500 s (shear thinning), and 0.5 s (relaxation) to evaluate the apparent viscosity, the relaxation behavior, and thixotropy (b) shear yield-stress measurements using a vane technique introduced by Nguyen and Boger [5] (c) low deformation dynamic tests at a constant frequency of 1.6 s in a stress range of ca. 0.5 - 100 Pa. All samples contained 3 wt% of fumed silica. 

A number of methods are used for studying the sorption of basic probe molecules on zeolites to learn more about zeolite acidity. A common disadvantage of all the examinations is that adsorbed basic probe increases the electron density on the solid and, thereby, change the acidic properties of the sites examined. From this aspect it seems advantageous to probe the acid sites with a weak base, e. g., with a hydrocarbon. It was shown that adsorption of alkanes is localized to the strong Brdnsted acid sites of H-zeolites [1, 2]. However, recent results suggest that usually the diffusion in the micropores controls the rate of hydrocarbon transport [3-5]. Obviously, the probe suitable for the batch FR examination of the sites has to be non-reactive and the sorption dynamics must control the rate of mass transport. The present work shows that alkanes can not be used because, due to their weak interaction with the H-zeolites, the diffusion is the slowest step of their transport. In contrast, acetylene was found suitable to probe the zeolitic acid sites. The results are discussed in comparison with those obtained using ammonia as probe. Moreover, it is demonstrated that fundamental information can be obtained about the alkane diffusivity in H-zeolites... 

In contrast, the electrodeposition of conducting polymers is an anodic process that involves both polymerization and subsequent deposition of the polymer. It is most often carried out at noble metal electrodes such as gold or platinum, or sometimes at carbon electrodes, using potentiostatic, potentio-dynamic, or galvanostatic methods [19]. These electrochemical methods provide accurate control over the polymerization rate, localizes the polymerization reaction at the metal surface to be covered, and permits precise control of polymer film thickness. 

In the following, reaction flow analysis, sensitivity analysis and the directed relation graph method will be presented as static and dynamic reduction procedures. Thereafter will the main features of ILDM (including extensions such as flamelet generated manifolds (FGM) and reaction-diffusion manifolds (REDIM)), CSP and the LOI be discussed, including the fundamentals of the quasi steady state elimination procedure and the rate-controlled constrained equilibria (RCCE) approach. 

The field of process dynamics and control often requires the location of the roots of transfer functions that usually have the form of polynomial equations. In kinetics and reactor design, the simultaneous solution of rate equations and energy balances results in mathematical models of simultaneous nonlinear and transcendental equations. Methods of solution for these and other such problems are developed in this chapter.
