Kinetic energy expansions

It may thus appear that any direct TPQ-scalet quantization procedure (with no involvement of wavelets) is impossible. However, this may not be true. It turns out that the underlying regularity of the scalet representation, with respect to kinetic energy expansions (i.e. e expansions), appears to generate, bounded (and infinitely differentiable) basis expansion. We do not investigate the feasibility of a pure TPQ-scalet quantization analysis within such a perturbative (kinetic energy expansion) scalet representation. Instead, for completeness, we outline the basic steps of this type of analysis. 

The scalet equation representation incorporates the Moment Quantization formalism, with its explicit anal rtic (regular) dependence on the kinetic energy expansion parameter, c, and all the (complex) turning points. 

When a molecule is isolated from external fields, the Hamiltonian contains only kinetic energy operators for all of the electrons and nuclei as well as temis that account for repulsion and attraction between all distinct pairs of like and unlike charges, respectively. In such a case, the Hamiltonian is constant in time. Wlien this condition is satisfied, the representation of the time-dependent wavefiinction as a superposition of Hamiltonian eigenfiinctions can be used to detemiine the time dependence of the expansion coefficients. If equation (Al.1.39) is substituted into the tune-dependent Sclirodinger equation... 

The present perturbative beatment is carried out in the framework of the minimal model we defined above. All effects that do not cincially influence the vibronic and fine (spin-orbit) stracture of spectra are neglected. The kinetic energy operator for infinitesimal vibrations [Eq. (49)] is employed and the bending potential curves are represented by the lowest order (quadratic) polynomial expansions in the bending coordinates. The spin-orbit operator is taken in the phenomenological form [Eq. (16)]. We employ as basis functions...

The pressure at every instant during an expansion or contraction of the working substance must be only infinitesimally greater or less respectively, than the external pressure, otherwise turbulent motions occur, the kinetic energy of which is ultimately converted into heat by friction, and this heat production is intrinsically irreversible. 

Available expin energy is then correlated with the kinetic energy of the metal cylinder. In Table 3 we see that relative cylinder expansion energies (from Ref 7) correlate fairly well with relative heats of detonation if the latter are taken on a per unit volume basis...

In the original mathematical treatment of nuclear and electronic motion, M. Bom and J. R. Oppenheimer (1927) applied perturbation theory to equation (10.5) using the kinetic energy operator Tq for the nuclei as the perturbation. The proper choice for the expansion parameter is A = (me/M) /", where M is the mean nuclear mass... 

Pressure drop in the transmission pipes is a combination of pressure losses in the pipes and pipe fittings7. Pipe fittings include bends, isolation valves, control valves, orifice plates, expansions, reductions, and so on. If the fluid is assumed to be incompressible and the change in kinetic energy from inlet to outlet is neglected, then ... 

At this point it might be helpful to summarize what has been done so far in terms of effective potentials. To obtain the QFH correction, we started with an exact path integral expression and obtained the effective potential by making a first-order cumulant expansion of the Boltzmann factor and analytically performing all of the Gaussian kinetic energy integrals. Once the first-order cumulant approximation is made, the rest of the derivation is exact up to (11.26). A second-order expansion of the potential then leads to the QFH approximation. 

The pressure drops throughout the cyclone owing to several factors (1) gas expansion, (2) vortex formation, (3) friction loss, and (4) changes in kinetic energy. The total pressure drop can be expressed in terms of an equivalent...
