Experiments experimentation

Kolar and Broz (K4) have described a theoretical analysis of counter-current flow of liquid and gas through a packed bed. A relationship has been derived between holdup of liquid, flow rates of fluids, and physical properties of fluids. The relationship contains three parameters, the values of which must be determined by experiment. Experimental data are not presented.

Experiments. Experimental adsorption isotherms were determined with a classical manometric apparatus in the equilibrium pressure range 1-760 torr and at temperatures 0°-80°C, thus ranging above and below the critical temperatures Tc for the adsorbates (see Table I).

To illustrate the information that can be distracted from the neutron diffraction and muon spin rotation experiments, experimental data from both techniques are combined in fig. 10 for the compound U(Pto.99Pdo.oi)3- The lowest temperature data of the neutron diffraction results [20] extrapolate to...

Top Dependence of diffusivity on chemical potential and Fermi level at a temperature of 1 300 K illustrating the competition between vacancy and interstitialcy mechanisms. The dark grey areas indicate the experimental data range around 1 300 K. Bottom Comparison between calculation and experiment. Experimental data from Moore and Williams [131], Hofmann and Lauder [132], Robin et al. [133], Tomlins et al. [134], Haneda et al. [135], and Sabioni et al. [136]. Solid and dashed lines correspond to regions I (interstitialcy mechanism dominant) and II (vacancy mechanism dominant) in the top graph, respectively.

Advances in relativistic quantum theory and computational methods made it possible to predict properties of the heaviest element compounds by performing accurate calculations of their electronic structures. Relativistic atomic and molecular calculations in combination with various models were useful in helping to design sophisticated and expensive chemical experiments. Experimental results, in turn, were helpful in defining the scope of the theoretical problems and provided an important input. The synergism between the theoretical and experimental research in the last decade led to better understanding the chemistry of these exotic species. 

Hydropyridinyl radicals have given excellently resolved ESR spectra which have been assigned following MO calculations and partial deuteration experiments. Experimental results from various workers are compared in Table III for a series of C-monosubstituted 1-hydropyridinyl radicals. 

The available transport models are not reliable enough for porous material with a complex pore structure and broad pore size distribution. As a result the values of the model par ameters may depend on the operating conditions. Many authors believe that the value of the effective diffusivity D, as determined in a Wicke-Kallenbach steady-state experiment, need not be equal to the value which characterizes the diffusive flux under reaction conditions. It is generally assumed that transient experiments provide more relevant data. One of the arguments is that dead-end pores, which do not influence steady state transport but which contribute under reaction conditions, are accounted for in dynamic experiments. Experimental data confirming or rejecting this opinion are scarce and contradictory [2]. Nevertheless, transient experiments provide important supplementary information and they are definitely required for bidisperse porous material where diffusion in micro- and macropores is described separately with different effective diffusivities. 

Double-blind experiment experimental design where the subjects do not know whether they are receving the experimental treatment or a placebo. 

From earlier investigations, one should mention the work of Sahami and Weaver [113] on the electroreduction of CoEn " (En = ethylenediamine), Co(NH3)6 and Co(NH3)5F. They found that solvent effects do not agree with predictions of the Marcus theory. The discrepancies between theory and experiment (experimentally observed changes were higher than those theoretically predicted) were ascribed to contributions to the energy of activation from extensive reorientation of solvent molecules. 

The latter applies also to the COSY-DQF experiment. Experimentally, modem software allows COSY spectra to be recorded in the phase sensitive... 

An alternative interpretation of the Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distribution is helpful in statistical analysis of the experiment. Experimentally, the probability that a molecule selected from the gas will have speed in the range Au is defined as the fraction AN/N discussed earlier. Because AN/N is equal to f u) Au, we interpret this product as the probability predicted from theory that any molecule selected from the gas will have speed between u and u + Au. In this way we think of the Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distribntion f(u) as a probability distribution. It is necessary to restrict Au to very small ranges compared with u to make sure the probability distribution is a continuous function of u. An elementary introdnction to probability distributions and their applications is given in Appendix C.6. We suggest you review that material now. 

A metamodel is a reduced model that is fitted to approximate a complex model (usually a rigorous, first-principles mathematical model). The data used to fit the metamodel is obtained from several runs of the rigorous model, frequently called computer experiments. By analogy to physical experiments, experimental design techniques are used to define the sites where the data should be generated.
