The electrostatic solvation energy is only a part of the total solvation energy. Cavitation, dispersion and repulsion terms must be added. We show below that the MPE method leads to similar electrostatic energies than the polarizable continuum model (PCM) of Tomasi and co-workers [10], provided the same cavities are used. Therefore, non-electrostatic terms in these methods may be computed using the same computational strategies [15]. We emphasize the fact that accurate non-electrostatic contributions are often difficult to compute since they are based on parameterized formulae that cannot be directly compared to experiment. The obtained data must therefore be used with prudence, especially if they are expected to play a major role in the process under study. Fortunately, in many circumstances, non-electrostatic terms are small and/or vary little, so that they can be neglected. Tunon et al. [80] developed a parameterized expression for the MPE method using an expression of the type...

The antioxidant efficiency of phenolic acids, as determined by the accelerated autooxidation of methyl linoleate and scavenging of the free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (141) ° methods, was found to be inversely proportional to the maximal detector response potential in the voltammetric determination of these compounds. No similar correlation was found for the flavonoids . A good correlation was found between the O—H bond dissociation energy of a phenolic compound and its effectiveness as antioxidant, expressed as the rate constant of free radical scavenging . The bond dissociation energy of the phenol O—H bond was estimated by a three-dimensional quantitative structme-activity relationship method incorporating electron densities computed using the Austin Method 1 (AMI) followed by correlation of the... 

First of all, the density and all the thermodynamic coefficients are constants. Secondly, when the density and the transport properties are constants, the continuity and momentum equations are decoupled from the energy equation. This result is important, as it means that we may solve for the three velocities and the pressure without regard for the energy equation or the temperature. Third, for incompressible flows the pressure is determined by the momentum equation. The pressure thus plays the role of a mechanical force and not a thermodynamic variable. Fourth, another important fact about incompressible flow is that only two parameters, the Reynolds number and the Froude number occur in the equations. The Froude number, Fr, expresses the importance of buoyancy compared to the other terms in the equation. The Reynolds number indicates the size of the viscous force term relative to the other terms. It is mentioned that compressible flows are often high Re flows, thus they are often computed using the inviscid Euler (momentum) equations. 

Note that the expressions we have written thus far are entirely generic. All that we have assumed is the existence of a total energy function that is dependent upon the set of ionic positions. Our analysis is thus indifferent to the microscopic energy functional used to compute Etot and hence the results are equally valid for total energy methods ranging from pair potentials to fully quantum mechanical Etot.
