To illustrate this procedure, consider a situation that might arise in the pharmaceutical industry. Assume that the specification for a commercial 500-mg acetaminophen (the active painkiller in Tylenol) tablet is that each batch of tablets must contain 450—550 mg of acetaminophen per tablet. Suppose that chemical analysis gave the following results for a batch of acetaminophen tablets 428, 479, 442, and 435 mg. How can these results be used to decide whether the batch of tablets meets the specification Although the details of how to draw such conclusions from measured data are beyond the scope of this discussion, we will consider some aspects of this process. We will focus here on the types of experimental uncertainty, the expression of experimental results, and a simplified method for estimating experimental uncertainty when several types of measurements contribute to the final result.

In general, the phonon density of states g(cn), doi is a complicated fimction which can be directly measured from experiments, or can be computed from the results from computer simulations of a crystal. The explicit analytic expression of g(oi) for the Debye model is a consequence of the two assumptions that were made above for the frequency and velocity of the elastic waves. An even simpler assumption about g(oi) leads to the Einstein model, which first showed how quantum effects lead to deviations from the classical equipartition result as seen experimentally. In the Einstein model, one assumes that only one level at frequency oig is appreciably populated by phonons so that g(oi) = 5(oi-cog) and, for each of the Einstein modes. is... 

In making certain mathematical approximations to the Schrodinger equation, we can equate derived terms directly to experiment and replace dilTiciilL-to-calculate mathematical expressions with experimental values. In other situation s, we introduce a parameter for a mathematical expression and derive values for that parameter by fitting the results of globally calculated results to experiment. Quantum chemistry has developed two groups of researchers ...

The theoretical curve, deduced from the kinetic expression of the mechanism, fits the experimental points with gratifying exactness, whereas, for pD>12, the simple mechanism reported earlier (428,430) becomes predominant, and the rate increases very rapidly with pD and becomes first order both in thiazole and deuteroxide concentrations (Fig. 

The purpose of these comparisons is simply to point out how complete the parallel is between the Rouse molecular model and the mechanical models we discussed earlier. While the summations in the stress relaxation and creep expressions were included to give better agreement with experiment, the summations in the Rouse theory arise naturally from a consideration of different modes of vibration. It should be noted that all of these modes are overtones of the same fundamental and do not arise from considering different relaxation processes. As we have noted before, different types of encumbrance have different effects on the displacement of the molecules. The mechanical models correct for this in a way the simple Rouse model does not. Allowing for more than one value of f, along the lines of Example 3.7, is one of the ways the Rouse theory has been modified to generate two sets of Tp values. The results of this development are comparable to summing multiple effects in the mechanical models. In all cases the more elaborate expressions describe experimental results better. 

Table 4.1 lists values of as well as AH and ASf per mole of repeat units for several polymers. A variety of experiments and methods of analysis have been used to evaluate these data, and because of an assortment of experimental and theoretical approximations, the values should be regarded as approximate. We assume s T . In general, both AH and ASf may be broken into contributions Ho and So which are independent of molecular weight and increments AHf and ASf for each repeat unit in the chain. Therefore AHf = Hq + n AHf j, where n is the degree of polymerization. In the limit of n AHf = n AHf j and ASf = n ASf j, so T = AHf j/ASf j. The values of AHf j and ASf j in Table 4.1 are expressed per mole of repeat units on this basis. Since no simple trends exist within these data, the entries in Table 4.1 appear in numbered sets, and some observations concerning these sets are listed here ... 

This has the advantage that the expressions for the adsotbed-phase concentration ate simple and expHcit, and, as in the Langmuir expression, the effect of competition between sorbates is accounted for. However, the expression does not reduce to Henry s law in the low concentration limit and therefore violates the requirements of thermodynamic consistency. Whereas it may be useful as a basis for the correlation of experimental data, it should be treated with caution and should not be used as a basis for extrapolation beyond the experimental range.

Design of experiments. When conclusions are to be drawn or decisions made on the basis of experimental evidence, statistical techniques are most useful when experimental data are subject to errors. The design of experiments may then often be carried out in such a fashion as to avoid some of the sources of experimental error and make the necessary allowances for that portion which is unavoidable. Second, the results can be presented in terms of probability statements which express the reliabihty of the results. Third, a statistical approach frequently forces a more thorough evaluation of the experimental aims and leads to a more definitive experiment than would otherwise have been performed. 

For many years, it was thought that the macro solute forms a new phase near the membrane—that of a gel or gel-like layer. The model provided good correlations of experimental data and has been widely used. It does not fit known experimental facts. An explanation that fits the known data well is based on osmotic pressure. The van t Hoff equation [Eq. (22-75)] is hopelessly inadequate to predict the osmotic pressure of a macromolecular solution. Using the empirical expression... 

The specific conductivities of molten salts are frequently represented, as a function of temperature by an AtTlrenius equation, but it is unlikely that the unit step in diffusion has a constant magnitude, as in the coiTesponding solids and the results for NaCl may be expressed, within experimental eiTor, by the alternative equations...

The accurate calculation and proper evaluation of the losses within the axial-flow compressor are as important as the calculation of the bladeloading parameter, since unless the proper parameters are controlled, the efficiency drops. The evaluation of the various losses is a combination of experimental results and theory. The losses are divided into two groups (1) losses encountered in the rotor, and (2) losses encountered in the stator. The losses are usually expressed as a loss of heat and enthalpy. 

The cross-section for electron impact ionization has already been mentioned in Sect. 2.2.2.2 in connection with electron sources, and a variety of experimental and theoretical cross-sections have been shown in Fig. 2.18 for the particular case of the K-shell of nickel. The expression for the cross-section derived by Casnati et al. [2.128] gives reasonably good agreement with experiment the earlier expression of Gry-zinski [2.131] is also useful.
