The next problem is the formulation of the transport fluxes. The precision with which it must be done for multicomponent mixtures is a matter on which there is diversity of opinion. This arises because the more precise formulations rapidly become more expensive in computer time but have uncertain returns in terms of accuracy because of shortcomings in the primary data. The author is of the opinion that a detailed transport flux model is a necessary reference representation on which approximations may be based so as to give the most satisfactory compromise for a specific problem. Fortunately, the various degrees of approximation result in formally similar continuity equations which can be treated by the same numerical techniques. Readers interested in the general aspects of modeling reactive flows are advised to omit this section on first reading and to accept the results given at the commencement of Section 4. 

In the first chapter of Volume 2 (hereinafter referred to as 21 1) we presented the general framework of MODEL.LA., a modeling language that can capture the hierarchical and distributed character of processing systems. We will employ all aspects of MODEL.LA. in order to develop a complete and consistent description of plants that will satisfy the modeling needs for the synthesis of operating procedures. 

In this chapter, we first cite examples of catalyzed two-phase reactions. We then consider types of reactors from the point of view of modes of operation and general design considerations. Following introduction of general aspects of reactor models, we focus on the simplest of these for pseudohomogeneous and heterogeneous reactor models, and conclude with a brief discussion of one-dimensional and two-dimensional models. 

Although the resonant level model successfully explains a few general aspects of chemisorption, it has nevertheless many shortcomings. The model gives no information on the electronic structure of the chemisorption bond it does not tell where the electrons are. Such information is obtained from a more refined model, called the density functional method. We will not explain how it works but merely give the results for the adsorption of Cl and Li on jellium, reported by Lang and Williams [20]. 

The majority of compounds A+Me +Fe and A +Me +Fe crystalhzes in the KOsFe- or BaSiFe-type resp. The two structures differ only slightly. As can be seen from the figures above the BaSiFe-type 748) is a special case of the KOsFe-type, that has been elucidated later by Hepworth, Jack and Westland [140). Although Weise and Klemm [331) for example report a BaSiFe-type structure of BaRuFe and some alkali compounds ARuFe (A = K, Rb, Cs), it is not proved whether these fluorides do not fit the KOsFe-model even better. The same could be true for other fluorides of the BaSiFe-type. For this reeison these compounds are mentioned under the more general aspect of the KOsFe-type. 

The general notion of a boundary later is found in many aspects of modeling physical systems. Recognizing boundary-layer behavior can very often lead to important simplifications in the analysis and modeling of such systems. Certainly the analysis and study of fluid mechanics is greatly facilitated by the exploitation of boundary-layer approximations. 

Some important general aspects of rate-based modeling as well as further peculiarities of the specific process applications and the different solution strategies are given in Appendices A and B. 

The area between enzymatic and chemical catalyses, associated with simulation of biochemical processes by their basic parameters, is accepted as mimetic catalysis. The key aspect of the mimetic catalyst is diversity of enzyme and biomimetic function processes, which principally distinguishes the mimetic model from traditional full simulation. Based on the analysis of conformities and diversities of enzymatic and chemical catalysis, the general aspects of mimetic catalysis are discussed. An idealized model of the biomimetic catalyst and the exclusive role of the membrane in its structural organization are considered. The most important achievements in the branch of catalysis are shown, in particular, new approaches to synthesis and study of biomimetic catalase, peroxidase and monooxidases reactions. 

Intermolecular solvent-solute interactions influence the charge distribution on a carbohydrate molecule. Subtle electronic changes that occur as a result of these interactions are responsible for the solvent dependence of carbon -proton coupling constants. The general aspects of solvent effects on NMR parameters have been reviewed,78-79 and consequently, only a very brief outline of the theoretical model within FPT INDO SCF MO formalism is considered here.
