Fast dynamics

We define the fast, stretched time scale r = t/e. On rewriting Equation (3.10) in this time scale and considering the limit case e — 0 (which physically corresponds to an infinitely large recycle number or, equivalently, an infinitely high recycle flow rate), we obtain a description of the fast dynamics of the process  

Note that the above model of the fast dynamics involves only the large recycle and internal flow rates u1, and does not involve the small feed/product flow rates us. Examining the material balance equations in (3.1), it is intuitive that the flow rates of the internal streams do not affect the total holdup of any component in the process, and that total holdups are affected only by the flow rates us of the

MD simulations are valuable tools if one wants to gain detailed insight into fast dynamical processes of proteins and other biological macromolecules at atomic resolution. But since conventional MD simulations are confined to the study of very fast processes, conformational flooding represents a complementary and powerful tool to predict and understand also slow conformational motions. Another obvious application is an enhanced refinement of Xray- or NMR-structures. 

Regulators may be used in gas blanketing systems to maintain a protective environment above anv liquid stored in a tank or vessel as the liquid is pumped out. When the temperature of the vessel is suddenly cooled, the regulator maintains the tank pressure and protects the waUs of the tank from possible collapse. Regulators are known for their fast dynamic response. The absence of time delay that often comes with more sophisticated control systems makes the regulator useful in applications requiring fast corrective action. 

The measurement ranges for the base-metal thermocouples are 0 to +750 °C (type J), -200 to +1200 °C (type K), and -200 to +350 °C (type T). The noble-metal thermocouples can be used at higher temperatures up to 1700 °C. The dynamic response of sheathed thermocouples is not very fast however, a probe made from bare, thin wires can have very fast dynamic properties. One of the best features of thermocouples is the simplicity of making new probes by soldering or welding the ends of two wires together. 

The measurement range is dependent on the instrument but can cover the range -50 to +500 °C. The accuracy is not as high as the best contact thermometers. One reason for this is that the emissivity of the surface has an effect on the measurement result, and an emissivity correction is necessary for most instruments. The positive features are noncontact measurement and very fast dynamics, which enable a rapid scan of surface temperatures from a distance this is convenient when carrying out, for example, thermal comfort measurements. 

Carboxylates, which are chiral in the a-position totally lose their optical activity in mixed Kolbe electrolyses [93, 94]. This racemization supports either a free radical or its fast dynamic desorption-adsorption at the electrode. A clearer distinction can be made by looking at the diastereoselectivity of the coupling reaction. Adsorbed radicals should be stabilized and thus react via a more product like transition state... 

In addition to the surface/interface selectivity, IR-Visible SFG spectroscopy provides a number of attractive features since it is a coherent process (i) Detection efficiency is very high because the angle of emission of SFG light is strictly determined by the momentum conservation of the two incident beams, together with the fact that SFG can be detected by a photomultiplier (PMT) or CCD, which are the most efficient light detectors, because the SFG beam is in the visible region, (ii) The polarization feature that NLO intrinsically provides enables us to obtain information about a conformational and lateral order of adsorbed molecules on a flat surface, which cannot be obtained by traditional vibrational spectroscopy [29-32]. (iii) A pump and SFG probe measurement can be used for an ultra-fast dynamics study with a time-resolution determined by the incident laser pulses [33-37]. (iv) As a photon-in/photon-out method, SFG is applicable to essentially any system as long as one side of the interface is optically transparent. 

The -conformation 13 is lower in energy than the Z-isomer 14. These are the smallest cyclopropyl substituted carbocations which can be investigated in solution by high resolution NMR. The corresponding primary cyclopropylmethyl cation 15 cannot directly be observed by high resolution NMR in solution because it is energetically less favorable than the bicyclobutonium ion 16 and thus only a minor isomer in the fast dynamic equilibrium of the cations 15 and 16. 13C- and H... 

From the resulting reactions a set of coupled differential equations can be derived describing the deactivation of P, L and PI and the reaction rate constants can be derived from storage stability data by the use of parameter estimation methods. The storage stability data give the concentration of P+PI (it is assumed that the inhibitor fully releases the protease during analysis due to fast dynamics and the extensive dilution in the assay) and L as a function of time.

You may wonder why we would ever be satisfied with anything less than a very accurate integration. The ODEs that make up the mathematical models of most practical chemical engineering systems usually represent a mixture of fast dynamics and slow dynamics. For example, in a distillation column the liquid flow or hydraulic dynamic response occurs fairly rapidly, of the order of a few seconds per tray. The composition dynamics, the rate of change of hquid mole fractions on the trays, are usually much slower—minutes or even hours for columns with many trays. Systems with this mixture of fast and slow ODEs are called stiff systems.

The four key features of PTR-MS can be summarised as follows. First, it is fast. Time dependent variations of headspace profiles can be monitored with a time resolution of better than 1 s. Second, the volatile compounds do not experience any work-up or thermal stress, and very little fragmentation is induced by the ionisation step hence, measured mass spectral profiles closely reflect genuine headspace distributions. Third, measured mass spectral intensities can be directly related to absolute headspace concentrations, without calibration or use of standards. Finally, it is not invasive and the process under investigation is not affected by the measurements. All these features make PTR-MS a particularly suitable method to investigate fast dynamic process. 

The ideas presented here use a weak UV pulse. One could also imagine using strong UV pulses, e.g. in one of the schemes presented by Sola et al. in this book, which alter the BO potentials by mixing them. These schemes usually involve three electronic states. This alters the discussion somewhat since even in the weak-field limit a trivial solution may be found in a pump-dump setup the wave packet is first excited to a repulsive state, where the (now fast) dynamics takes place and when the wave packet has reached the desired location it is dumped to the excited bound state. Exploring various three-state setups is a topic for future research.
