Four-parameter model

Four Parameter Models. Two- and three-parameter theories are only accurate for simple, normal, and some slightly polar fluids. In order to accurately predict polar fluid behavior a fourth parameter is needed (80). The Stiel polarity factor, is one such fourth parameter and follows from the... 

When a spring and a dash pot are connected in series the resulting structure is the simplest mechanical representation of a viscoelastic fluid or Maxwell fluid, as shown in Fig. 3.10(d). When this fluid is stressed due to a strain rate it will elongate as long as the stress is applied. Combining both the Maxwell fluid and Voigt solid models in series gives a better approximation for a polymeric fluid. This model is often referred to as the four-parameter viscoelastic model and is shown in Fig. 3.10(e). Atypical strain response as a function of time for an applied stress for the four-parameter model is found in Fig. 3.12. 

The four-parameter model is very simple and often a reasonable first-order model for polymer crystalline solids and polymeric fluids near the transition temperature. The model requires two spring constants, a viscosity for the fluid component and a viscosity for the solid structured component. The time-dependent creep strain is the summation of the three time-dependent elements (the Voigt element acts as a single time-dependent element) ... 

Most screening designs are based on saturated fractional factorial designs. The firactional factorial designs in Section 14.8 are said to be saturated by the first-order factor effects (parameters) in the four-parameter model (Equation 14.27). In other words, the efficiency E = p/f = 4/4 = 1.0. It would be nice if there were 100% efficient fractional factorial designs for any number of factors, but the algebra doesn t work out that way.

One may question the need for a four parameter enthalpy equation, i.e., whether describing an acid or base by two parameters each is redundant. The following simple matrix algebra shows the conditions whereby a four parameter model reverts to a less redundant two parameter equation. Letting A be the transformation matrix, E and C represent the parameters for the four parameter model, and a represent the acid parameters for the two parameter model, the following equation results ... 

In this application the AOM is a four-parameter model, eCTx, eaY, enx and enY being AOM parameters in each case. It is to be noted that the CFT/LFT parameterization of these complexes would also most usually be at the same level. Indeed, recalling equation (10), it is easy to write the correspondence between the two parameter sets, say for MX5Y... 

Summarizing The basic idea, mentioned in chapter 6, that creep of solid polymers could be represented by a simple four-parameter model (the Burgers model), composed of a Maxwell and a Kelvin-Voigt model in series, appears to be inadequate for three reasons ... 

In all of the above there is assumed no product inhibition. Nonlinear regression of the kinetic data revealed the four parameter model, Eq. 1, to be marginally better than the two parameter model of Eq. 2 with both models the maximum error was less than 20%, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Eq. 2 is quite adequate for the range of variables studied and affords a more direct comparison of deactivation effects, hence it is used in the following. Fresh catalyst parameters are given below.

Two quantities—Pi, the concentration of the isotactic triad and ai, the probability that an isotactic triad be followed by another isotactic triad—are sufficient to describe the sequence length of the isotactic units. The concentration of the various triad states can be expressed in terms of the various transition probabilities of the four-parameter model discussed previously (1). It can be shown that in the expressions for the probabilities of the various triads, the four transition probability parameters occur in such a combination that the concentration of the various triad states like Pi, etc. depend on only two independent parameters (Appendix I).

E3 = — + and E4 = - 7 where the + and - define the relative configuration of two adjacent monomer units in the polymer chain. In accordance with the nomenclature of Bovey (7), we call the sequence (+ +) isotactic, (+ -), or (- +) heterotactic, and (- -) syndiotactic. The transition probabilities between various states were defined for the four-parameter model (1). 

The critical chain length for the four-parameter model can be found in a similar manner to that used above. In this case, as discussed earlier (Equation 1), the probability P+( ) that a given sequence of + s is exactly of length is given by ...

The simplest flaws of the Maxwell and Voigt models, the fact that one cannot model creep while the other cannot model stress relaxation, can easily be fixed by combining our basic linear elements in different ways. One such is the so-called four-parameter model (Figure 13-94), which combines a Maxwell model in series with a Voigt model. The four parameters are the Maxwell modulus and viscosity, Eu and and the Voigt modulus and viscosity Ev and r v...

Four- and five-parameter models have also been proposed. An example of the four-parameter model is the Cross-Williamson model given by (14)... 

There are four dimensionless parameters in eqns. (4.3.7 to 4.3.9) o, r,y, xji, and kjj. This version of the WS mixing rule can be used as a four-parameter model to correlate the behavior of complex mixtures or in several ways that have fewer adjustable parameters. For example, one can solve the two relations obtained from eqn. (4.3.8) in the infinite dilution limit bi... 

A crucial point of the four-parameter model is that T2 is assumed to be independent of cross-link density which is valid only in a first approximation [FU13]. Moreover, the experimental relaxation signal can be modelled at short and intermediate time scales with good agreement without the inclusion of dangling chains in the model the free induction decay of one such cross-link chain can be written as a product of an inhomogeneous and... 

Great caution must be exercised in interpreting multiple-reaction models containing several independent parameters. A four-parameter model will not be unique to a data set (Sposito, 1982). In addition, there is no evidence of... 

Theory for Nafion. To apply the general theory quantitatively it is necessary to express explicitly the relationships between rh and nh, rc and nc, and the force constant Ke. A four-parameter model (fCe,pi,p2,p3) was formulated to accomplish this goal. First, we define three packing factors pi, p2, and p3 as pi = packing factor for water molecules in a purely aqueous hydration shell p2 = packing factor for water molecules in hydration shells containing a cation, for example, ion-dipole hydration shells and p3 = packing factor of hydration shells in a cluster.
