Important relationships

As solution gas is liberated, the oil shrinks. A particularly important relationship exists between the volume of oil at a given pressure and temperature and the volume of the oil at stock tank conditions. This is the oil formation volume factor (B, measured in rb/stb or rm /stm ). 

We conclude this section with a numerical example which serves to review and compare some of the important relationships we have considered. 

A very important relationship between stereochemistry and reactivity arises in the case of reaction at an 5 carbon adjacent to a chiral center. Using nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group as an example, it can be seen that two diastereomeric products are possible. The stereoselectivity and predictability of such reactions are important in controlling stereochemistry in synthesis. 

This is a very important relationship in that it permits the fundamental material property Gc to be calculated from the fracture force, Fc, and the variation of compliance with crack length. 

This is an important relationship. It states that the modulus of a unidirectional fibre composite is proportional to the volume fractions of the materials in the composite. This is known as the Rule of Mixtures. It may also be used to determine the density of a composite as well as other properties such as the Poisson s Ratio, strength, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity in the fibre direction. 

Amines are weak bases, but as a class, amines are the strongest bases of all neutral molecules. Table 22.1 lists basicity data for a number of fflnines. The most important relationships to be drawn from the data ar e... 

If k is much larger than k", Eq. (6-64) takes the form of Eq. (6-61) for the fraction Fhs thus we may expect the experimental rate constant to be a sigmoid function of pH. If k" is larger than k, the / -pH plot should resemble the Fs-pH plot. Equation (6-64) is a very important relationship for the description of pH effects on reaction rates. Most sigmoid pH-rate profiles can be quantitatively accounted for with its use. Relatively minor modifications [such as the addition of rate terms first-order in H or OH to Eq. (6-63)] can often extend the description over the entire pH range. 

Capacitors are often combined in series or parallel, with the resulting circuit capacitance calculated as depicted in Figure 4. An important relationship is the time constant of a capacitor. The time constant is based on the product of the resistance and capacitance and is known as the RC time constant. A capacitor in a dc circuit will charge or discharge 63.2 percent in one RC time constant. The time dependence of a capacitor is shown in the equations. 

The theraiodynamic relations formulated earlier for a pure substance are summarized in Table 2-19 with unit mass of fluid as the basis. Several additional important relationships can be derived from them and these are shown in the third column of Table 2-19. 

Montmorillonite clays absorb water readily, swell greatly and confer highly plastic properties to a soil. Thus soil stress (Section 14.8) occurs most frequently in these soils and less commonly in predominantly kaolinitic types. Similarly, a soil high in bentonite will show more aggressive corrosion than a soil with a comparable percentage of kaolinite. A chalky soil usually shows low corrosion rates. Clay mineralogy and the relation of clays to corrosion deserves attention from corrosion engineers. Many important relationships are not fully understood and there is need for extensive research in this area. 

Another important relationship between the salts of the soil and corrosion has to do with biological activity. Since the growth of plants and microorganisms depends upon the proper inorganic mineral nutrients, the action of these forms of life varies with the mineral content of the soil. While many of the possible indirect effects, such as the role of various nitrogenous... 

Expression of mass loss in terms of a percentage of the original mass of a test-piece is usually meaningless except for comparing specimens of the same size and shape, since it does not take into account the important relationship between surface and mass.

An important relationship exists between the weight distribution coefficient and the volume of eluant (Vmax) required to reach the maximum concentration of an eluted ion in the effluent. This is given by the equation ... 

For a given geometry, view factors are related to each other, one example being the reciprocity relationship given in equation 9.126. Another important relationship is the summation rule which may be applied to the surfaces of a complete enclosure. In this case, all the radiation leaving one surface, say i, must arrive at all other surfaces in the enclosure so that, for n surfaces ... 

As analyzed in section 4.6, equation (4.20) can be derived theoretically and is in good qualitative agreement with experiment over five orders of magnitude (Fig. 4.23). This important relationship shows that ...

Approximately 5%-10% of ethanol is excreted unchanged in the breath and urine. The blood-to-breath ratio of ethanol is 2,000 to 1, an important relationship that permits blood alcohol determination from expired air, providing the basis for the use of breath alcohol measurement for clinical, research, and forensic applications.

The periodic table organizes a remarkable amount of information about the chemical and physical properties of the elements. The information is organized in such a manner that trends in properties and important relationships can be readily identified. In this activity, you will identify several elements based on their properties and the properties of the surrounding elements in the periodic table. 

There are two important relationships in thermochemistry which are very useful in the calculation of enthalpies of reactions. These are known as Hess s law and Kirchoff s equation. 

The above important relationship now allows evaluation of the thermodynamic driving force of a redox reaction in terms of a measurable cell emf. Moreover, it is possible to utilize the relationship between the standard state potential and the standard state free energy to arrive at an expression for the equilibrium constant of a redox reaction in terms of the emf. Thus...

Equation (2.18) establishes an important relationship connecting E, jJ2) (the stabilization energy) and Q, Jt (the charge transferred) in a general donor-acceptor interaction. Since Ac is typically a large energy separation (of order unity in a.u., 1 a.u. = 627.5 kcal mol-1), we can express this relationship in the approximate form... 

This is an important relationship between the mole fraction and the ratio of partial and mixture pressures. 

Principally, conservation of energy for the compartment provides the important relationship to establish the extent of thermal feedback to the fuel. Conservation of mass and oxygen provide additional support equations. The process relationships, given previously, establish the important transport rates of mass and energy. These constitutive relationships may not always be complete enough to describe all fire scenarios. 

Due to the important relationship between particle size of starting powders and resulting electrode microstructure and corresponding performance, much work has been performed to modify the particle size and morphology of the starting powders used in SOFC processing. Additional methods have been investigated to better control the microstructure and properties of fuel cell components, which are discussed in more detail in Section 6.2. 

Documentation is structured around specifications and implementation and their refinement and import relationships. A user manual—a description of how a user accomplishes tasks by using the system(s)—is a particular form of documentation associated with a refinement how the abstract business model and actions are realized by more-detailed actions performed by the users and systems. Test specifications are also associated with refinement relationships. The rules for system architecture are documented in a package that specifies the patterns and frameworks that will be used in other packages that import it. 

This equation defines the quantitative relationship between the substrate concentration and enzyme reaction rate when the constants, Vmax and Km, are known. An interesting and important relationship emerges when v is equal to 1/2Vmax. Under these conditions, [S] is equal to KM.
