Intermediate regime dynamics

The exponential part in Eq. (59) arises from the sped chain conformational energetics whereas the front term reflects the diain connectivity effect and frictional drag due to environment. The role of the latter becomes predominantly important in intermediate regime dynamics. 

In practice, the process regime will often be less transparent than suggested by Table 1.4. As an example, a process may neither be diffusion nor reaction-rate limited, rather some intermediate regime may prevail. In addition, solid heat transfer, entrance flow or axial dispersion effects, which were neglected in the present study, may be superposed. In the analysis presented here only the leading-order effects were taken into account. As a result, the dependence of the characteristic quantities listed in Table 1.5 on the channel diameter will be more complex. For a detailed study of such more complex scenarios, computational fluid dynamics, to be discussed in Section 2.3, offers powerful tools and methods. However, the present analysis serves the purpose to differentiate the potential inherent in decreasing the characteristic dimensions of process equipment and to identify some cornerstones to be considered when attempting process intensification via size reduction.

An important problem of molecular spectroscopy is the assignment of quantum numbers. Quantum numbers are related to conserved quantities, and a full set of such numbers is possible only in the case of dynamical symmetries. For the problem at hand this means that three vibrational quantum numbers can be strictly assigned only for local molecules (f = 0) and normal molecules ( , = 1). Most molecules have locality parameters that are in between. Near the two limits the use of local and normal quantum numbers is still meaningful. The most difficult molecules to describe are those in the intermediate regime. For these molecules the only conserved vibrational quantum number is the multiplet number n of Eq. (4.71). A possible notation is thus that in which the quantum number n and the order of the level within each multiplet are given. Thus levels of a linear triatomic molecules can be characterized by... 

Abernathy and Sharp (130,145) treated the intermediate regime, when the reorientation of the paramagnetic species is in-between the slow- and fast-rotations limits. They applied the spin-dynamics method, described in Section VI, to the case of outer-sphere relaxation and interpreted NMRD profiles for non-aqueous solvents in the presence of complexes of Ni(II) (S = 1) and Mn(III) (S = 2). 

It is natural that non-ideality of the adsorption system produces a strong effect on the way the multistage process occurs, viz., on its intermediate regimes and the number of stationary states, existence of self-oscillations, etc. (The dynamic modes are also characterized in Ref. [131].)... 

Dynamical effects of a two-axis 3-by-2-site jump process as can be observed in DMS-d6 were investigated by both QCPMG and MAS simulations. Besides rather interesting line broadening effects when both rate constants were in the intermediate regime, it was observed that the QCPMG experiment is more sensitive towards motional effects than MAS if either of the two rate constants is in the fast regime. 

For microwave field stengths in the intermediate regime the quantum dynamics of the SSE system is still simple. It can be described in a multi-photon picture. For fixed microwave field strength we expect that the ionization probability exhibits a pronounced peak or threshold structure with large amounts of ionization occurring whenever the microwave frequency is in resonance with unperturbed SSE levels, or tuned to the ionization threshold. A schematic sketch of the first four SSE levels is shown in Fig. 6.7 together with possible ionization routes to the continuum. 

The situation in the intermediate regime is substantially more complicated both decay to the ground state and energy relaxation can occur fi-om any of the intermediate levels in. The exact dynamics therefore not only depends on the modified decay rates, but also on the details of the relaxation dynamics within 5, a process that is not understood in detail and is... 

Since the dielectric continuum representation of the solvent has significant limitations, the molecular dynamics simulation of PCET with explicit solvent molecules is also an important direction. One approach is to utilize a multistate VB model with explicit solvent interactions [34-36] and to incorporate transitions among the adiabatic mixed electronic/proton vibrational states with the Molecular Dynamics with Quantum Transitions (MDQT) surface hopping method [39, 40]. The MDQT method has already been applied to a one-dimensional model PCET system [39]. The advantage of this approach for PCET reactions is that it is valid in the adiabatic and non-adiatic limits as well as in the intermediate regime. Furthermore, this approach is applicable to PCET in proteins as well as in solution. 

Dynamic regime (T When the period of the oscillation is of the order of the system s characteristic response lime, the system is in intermediate or dynamic periodic operation. The transient behavior of the system has to be determined to predict the effects of periodic operation. Dynamic reactor operation may result in considerably higher performance if resonance phenomena are involved, and therefore this range of operation is of particular interest for optimization of the reactor. 

We remark that if condition (273) is not satisfied, which is the case if one misses the conical intersection in an intermediate regime (f Ac), the Landau-Zener formula shows that the dynamics splits the population into the two surfaces near the intersection. This gives rise afterwards to two states that will have their own adiabatic evolution. 

Droplet deformation and collision are also important features in the intermediate regime. In addition, in the intermediate region, the droplet loading could be severe. The variations in the local liquid-phase volume fraction also become important and should be considered in order to capture the droplet dynamics correctly. A robust algorithm capable of addressing all numerical issues related to spray modeling is necessary.
