Equation capacity

The mathematical models incorporate mass balance equations, capacity constraints, the cost functions, and the special constraints mentioned in the previous section. The mass balance equations, the capacity constraints, and the variable cost functions, are all linear and need not be explained here. How the special constraints are formulated is explained below. 

H, HETP H is the height equivalent to a theoretical plate also called the equilibrium step height. It is a measure of column efficiency, H is approximately 0.5 mm in a GC capillary column and 0.01 mm in HPLC. H = L/N where L is column length, N is number of theoretical plates in a column. /fcALC is the practical plate height of a column, Z/ min is the theoretical minimum plate height at optimmn linear velocity and maximum column efficiency, and may be calculated in terms of the retention or capacity factor of a column see A eir, van Deemter equation, capacity factor and coating efficiency. 

Both MIPS are comprised of three main blocks of equations capacity limitations, demand satisfaction, and objective function-related equations. To formulate these constraints, we consider the generic SC structure depicted in Figure 13.2. The model contains two types of variables binary and continuous. The former are used to model the SC configuration (i.e., establishment of a new plant in a potential location), while the latter denote planning decisions (i.e., transportation flows). We describe next each of these equations in detail for both cases. 

Enthalpies are referred to the ideal vapor. The enthalpy of the real vapor is found from zero-pressure heat capacities and from the virial equation of state for non-associated species or, for vapors containing highly dimerized vapors (e.g. organic acids), from the chemical theory of vapor imperfections, as discussed in Chapter 3. For pure components, liquid-phase enthalpies (relative to the ideal vapor) are found from differentiation of the zero-pressure standard-state fugacities these, in turn, are determined from vapor-pressure data, from vapor-phase corrections and liquid-phase densities. If good experimental data are used to determine the standard-state fugacity, the derivative gives enthalpies of liquids to nearly the same precision as that obtained with calorimetric data, and provides reliable heats of vaporization.

The value of at zero temperature can be estimated from the electron density ( equation Al.3.26). Typical values of the Femii energy range from about 1.6 eV for Cs to 14.1 eV for Be. In temis of temperature (Jp = p//r), the range is approxunately 2000-16,000 K. As a consequence, the Femii energy is a very weak ftuiction of temperature under ambient conditions. The electronic contribution to the heat capacity, C, can be detemiined from... 

As one raises the temperature of the system along a particular path, one may define a heat capacity C = D p th/dT. (The tenn heat capacity is almost as unfortunate a name as the obsolescent heat content for// alas, no alternative exists.) However several such paths define state functions, e.g. equation (A2.1.28) and equation (A2.1.29). Thus we can define the heat capacity at constant volume Cy and the heat capacity at constant pressure as... 

It is manifestly impossible to measure heat capacities down to exactly 0 K, so some kind of extrapolation is necessary. Unless were to approach zero as T approaches zero, the limiting value of C T would not be finite and the first integral in equation (A2.1.71) would be infinite. Experiments suggested that C might... 

Many substances exist in two or more solid allotropic fomis. At 0 K, the themiodynamically stable fomi is of course the one of lowest energy, but in many cases it is possible to make themiodynamic measurements on another (metastable) fomi down to very low temperatures. Using the measured entropy of transition at equilibrium, the measured heat capacities of both fomis and equation (A2.1.73) to extrapolate to 0 K, one can obtain the entropy of transition at 0 K. Within experimental...

Although the previous paragraphs hint at the serious failure of the van der Waals equation to fit the shape of the coexistence curve or the heat capacity, failures to be discussed explicitly in later sections, it is important to recognize that many of tlie other predictions of analytic theories are reasonably accurate. For example, analytic equations of state, even ones as approximate as that of van der Waals, yield reasonable values (or at least ball park estmiates ) of the critical constants p, T, and V. Moreover, in two-component systems... 

However, the discovery in 1962 by Voronel and coworkers [H] that the constant-volume heat capacity of argon showed a weak divergence at the critical point, had a major impact on uniting fluid criticality widi that of other systems. They thought the divergence was logaritlnnic, but it is not quite that weak, satisfying equation (A2.5.21) with an exponent a now known to be about 0.11. The equation applies both above and... 

The brackets symbolize fiinction of, not multiplication.) Smce there are only two parameters, and a, in this expression, the homogeneity assumption means that all four exponents a, p, y and S must be fiinctions of these two hence the inequalities in section A2.5.4.5(e) must be equalities. Equations for the various other thennodynamic quantities, in particular the singidar part of the heat capacity Cy and the isothemial compressibility Kp may be derived from this equation for p. The behaviour of these quantities as tire critical point is approached can be satisfied only if...

Similar equations apply to the extended scaling of the heat capacity and the coexistence curve for the determination of a and p. 

The enthalpy of fomiation is obtained from enthalpies of combustion, usually made at 298.15 K while the standard entropy at 298.15 K is derived by integration of the heat capacity as a function of temperature from T = 0 K to 298.15 K according to equation (B 1.27.16). The Gibbs-FIehiiholtz relation gives the variation of the Gibbs energy with temperature... 

Hence it is necessary to measure the heat capacity of a substance from near 0 K to the temperature required for equilibrium calculations to derive the enthalpy as a fiinction of temperature according to equation (B1.27.15f... 

The remaining question is how we got from G3MP2 (OK) = —117.672791 to G3MP2 Enthalpy = —117.667683. This is not a textbook of classical thermodynamics (see Klotz and Rosenberg, 2000) or statistical themiodynamics (see McQuarrie, 1997 or Maczek, 1998), so we shall use a few equations from these fields opportunistically, without explanation. The definition of heat capacity of an ideal gas...

The physical adsorption of gases by non-porous solids, in the vast majority of cases, gives rise to a Type II isotherm. From the Type II isotherm of a given gas on a particular solid it is possible in principle to derive a value of the monolayer capacity of the solid, which in turn can be used to calculate the specific surface of the solid. The monolayer capacity is defined as the amount of adsorbate which can be accommodated in a completely filled, single molecular layer—a monolayer—on the surface of unit mass (1 g) of the solid. It is related to the specific surface area A, the surface area of 1 g of the solid, by the simple equation... 

To obtain the monolayer capacity from the isotherm, it is necessary to interpret the (Type II) isotherm in quantitative terms. A number of theories have been advanced for this purpose from time to time, none with complete success. The best known of them, and perhaps the most useful in relation to surface area determination, is that of Brunauer, Emmett and Teller. Though based on a model which is admittedly over-simplified and open to criticism on a number of grounds, the theory leads to an expression—the BET equation —which, when applied with discrimination, has proved remarkably successful in evaluating the specific surface from a Type II isotherm. 

As is seen from Fig. 2.L, the BET equation yields an isotherm which (so long as c exceeds 2) has a point of inflection this point is close to, but not necessarily coincident with, the point where the amount adsorbed is equal to the BET monolayer capacity. 

The kind of results adduced in the present section justify the conclusion that the quantity n calculated by means of the BET equation from the Type II isotherm corresponds reasonably well to the actual monolayer capacity of the solid. The agreement lies within, say, +20 per cent, or often better, provided the isotherm has a well defined Point B.
