Elements, list error ranges

Of the five group-13 elements, only B and A1 have experimentally well characterized electron affinities. Lists of recommended EAs [50,51] show errors ranging from 50% to 100% for Ga, In, and T1. Very few calculations have appeared for the latter atoms. These include the multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) ofAmau etal. using pseudopotentials [52], our relativistic coupled cluster work on T1 [45], and the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) computation of Wijesundera [53]. 

Table III lists the material balances for the preparative separations. These are the percent weight recoveries for either asphaltene or maltene defined, using the sulfur balance for an example, as the sum of the amount of sulfur in each cut times the cut weight percent divided by the total sulfur. In general, the balances are in the 80-120% range, which is reasonable considering the amount of sample handling involved. The recoveries are out of line only in a few cases, most notably the Prudhoe Bay maltene nickel balance. In addition, a comparison of the calculated elemental values for the total residua differ somewhat from the raw total values for several residua. These discrepancies are probably attributable to the small samples, multiple sample manipulations, and compounding of individual errors when the asphaltene and maltene data are summed. The data-fitting routine described in the next section was used to obtain a set of best fit data, which were used in the subsequent size calculations.

Figure 2 Variations of counting statistical error (2cr or 95% confidence) for nuclides of different half-lives using different measurement techniques. Four different scenarios are shown with details listed in legend, aimed to cover a typical range of conditions. The values of ionization efficiencies span a full range of values appropriate for elements difficult (Th) and easy (Ra) to ionize thermally, see text. All scenarios assume a sample with MORB-hke U concentration (50 ngg ), but with all daughter nuclides in secular equilibrium (for illustrative simplicity). Calculations assume (unrealistic) 100% yields for chemical purification of the nuclide of interest and 40% counting...

Thus, over the entire range of the frequencies applied, the element O showed Warburg-like behavior and offered no definite indication of the thickness of diffusion layer. The modified and supplemented with non-faradaic elements ultimate EC is shown in Figure 8.38. This EC was found to fit quite well (with 2% error) the experimental data obtained at pH 3,4, and 5. At pH 4.5, the error was somewhat higher and averaged between 3 and 4%. The fitting results are shown in Figure 8.39 and the EC parameters are listed in Table 8.7. The double layer capacitance was calculated by the equation [114] ... 

Based on the constant value of the parameter Cb = 0.4s m, it is possible to verify by calculation 85% of the experimental pressure drop values for irrigated packing elements of any type or size as well as for type Y structured packings (for the latter, the wall factor K = 1 must be substituted into Eq. (4-48) or (4-49), see Chap. 3). The calculation is performed with a relative error of less than 15 %. This was the result of the evaluation of approx. 10000 experimental data items of various systems. The resistance coefficients xf of the tested packing elements for the transition range and the turbulent flow range of the gas phase are listed in Tables 6-la-c. 

Listing 10.21 shows code to solve the set of equations for the circuit example above. The equation set is defined in the f() function on lines 8 through 13. The reader should be readily able to correlate the code formulation with the basic equation set of Eq.(10.61). The major differences are the use of the v[4] variable for the inductor current in the equation set and the notation vp[] for the various derivatives. A selected set of element values are defined on lines 5 and 6 to complete the equation definition. The set of equations is solved on line 15 by a call to the function odeivseQ which is the adaptive step size algorithm with a returned error estimate. Other choices for functions to generate the solution include the odeiv() routine with a specified range of times and number of solution time points...
