Fractional numbers

N = real (or fractional) number of shells resulting from the temperatures of enthalpy interval k Sk = number of streams in enthalpy interval k... 

It is important to work in fractional numbers of shells (rather than integer) in order to use the additive property for 1-2 shells from one interval to another. If each match in enthalpy interval k requires iV shells using the temperatures of interval k in Eqs. (7.14) to (7.16), then the minimum shells count for the interval is... 

The large number of matches assumed in Eq. (E.2) is not a complication in establishing the target. This is so because the additive property shows that the total fractional number of shells is independent of how many vertical sections are used to divide a given heat exchange profile. 

Equation (E.2) can be considered further by using the contribution of the total fractional number of shells from each stream. The shells contribution of each stream i per match is... 

The composite curves (including utilities) are divided into enthalpy intervals. The minimum (fractional) number of shells for the temperatures of each interval k is evaluated using Eqs. (D.7) to (D.9).

Fractional numbers can pose a problem, but should be rounded to the next integer. 

We may generalize this by introducing an occupation number (number of electrons), n, for each MO. For a single determinant wave function this will either be 0, 1 or 2, while it may be a fractional number for a correlated wave function (Section 9.5).

STRATEGY Divide each mass percentage by the molar mass of the corresponding element to obtain the number of moles of that element found in exactly 100 g of the compound. Divide the number of moles of each element by the smallest number of moles. If fractional numbers result, then multiply by the factor that gives the smallest whole numbers of moles. 

Another fundamental difference is that the rate of the uncatalyzed reaction from R to P is always first order in the reactant, whereas the order in R of the catalytic reaction is undetermined, and depends on the values of the rate constants in Eq. (Ill) which on their turn depend on the temperature of the reaction. All we can say is that the order will be a fractional number between 0 and 1, depending on the conditions. We earlier defined the reaction order Hr as ...

Another type of notation, introduced by P. Niggli, uses fractional numbers in the chemical formula. The formula Ti06/, for instance means that every titanium atom is surrounded by 6 O atoms, each of which is coordinated to 3 Ti atoms. Another example is NbOCl3 = NbC C C /i which has coordination number 6 for the niobium atom (= 2 -)- 2 + 2 = sum of the numerators), coordination number 2 for the O atom and coordination numbers 2 and 1 for the two different kinds of Cl atoms (cf. Fig. 16.11, p. 176). 

The calculation of VEC(X) for many compounds results in non-integral numbers. According to equation (13.7) fractional numbers then also result for the number b(XX) of covalent bonds. This happens when structurally different atoms occur in the anion. The following examples help to illustrate this ...

The darkness associated with dense interstellar clouds is caused by dust particles of size =0.1 microns, which are a common ingredient in interstellar and circum-stellar space, taking up perhaps 1% of the mass of interstellar clouds with a fractional number density of 10-12. These particles both scatter and absorb external visible and ultraviolet radiation from stars, protecting molecules in dense clouds from direct photodissociation via external starlight. They are rather less protective in the infrared, and are quite transparent in the microwave.6 The chemical nature of the dust particles is not easy to ascertain compared with the chemical nature of the interstellar gas broad spectral features in the infrared have been interpreted in terms of core-mantle particles, with the cores consisting of two populations, one of silicates and one of carbonaceous, possibly graphitic material. The mantles, which appear to be restricted to dense clouds, are probably a mixture of ices such as water, carbon monoxide, and methanol.7...

For some quants staff is required with different qualifications and fractional numbers (multiple resources). One staff qualification for the setup and one qualification for the production for each quant are taken into account. For certain resources a shift model and also lockup intervals were defined. These constraints may force quants to be enlarged or lengthened over a shift break or lockup interval. This means that within the setup and production intervals of a quant there can... 

The arcs connect the different nodes with each other and represent either the utilization of equipment or material flows. Material flows occur when materials are produced or consumed by tasks. All arcs are labeled by fractional numbers which describe the percentage of material transported to the successor node. The overall amounts of transported materials are products of the labels of the arcs and the batch sizes.
