If we assume that the protein molecule can be represented by an ellipsoid of revolution, the axial ratio of the ellipsoid determines a value of the frictional ratio. The mathematical relations involved have been derived by Perrin (93) and by Herzog, Illig and Kudar (55). Numerical values giving ///q as a function of the axial ratio of the ellipsoid have been listed by Svedberg and Pedersen [122, p. 41) and by Cohn and Edsall (16, p. 406). However, the derivation of axial ratios from the ///q values is by no means a straightforward process. The measured ///<, is determined not only by the shape, but the hydration of the protein. If the molecule is spherical, but binds w grams of water per g of protein, then the frictional ratio should deviate from unity by the factor... 

The mathematical relation becomes rather complicated for reactions with a more complex stoichiometry such as the reaction of Fe " ions with I ions mentioned above. For better overview, it would be advisable in this case to create a kind of table (Table 6.1). For each substance involved, the table lists in the first row the standard value of its chemical potential for calculating the drive of the reaction under standard conditions. In the following, we assume that at the begiiming of the reaction, Fe " and I both have a concentration of Cq and that Fe " and I2 are absent. The concrete values of the initial concentrations of the substances follow in the next row. Finally, the formulas for the concentrations at an arbitrary time t are listed which can be calculated by using the stoichiometry of the reaction, is the density of conversion mentioned above. 

To extract infomiation from the wavefimction about properties other than the probability density, additional postulates are needed. All of these rely upon the mathematical concepts of operators, eigenvalues and eigenfiinctions. An extensive discussion of these important elements of the fomialism of quantum mechanics is precluded by space limitations. For fiirther details, the reader is referred to the reading list supplied at the end of this chapter. In quantum mechanics, the classical notions of position, momentum, energy etc are replaced by mathematical operators that act upon the wavefunction to provide infomiation about the system. The third postulate relates to certain properties of these operators ... 

With a reactive solvent, the mass-transfer coefficient may be enhanced by a factor E so that, for instance. Kg is replaced by EKg. Like specific rates of ordinary chemical reactions, such enhancements must be found experimentally. There are no generalized correlations. Some calculations have been made for idealized situations, such as complete reaction in the liquid film. Tables 23-6 and 23-7 show a few spot data. On that basis, a tower for absorption of SO9 with NaOH is smaller than that with pure water by a factor of roughly 0.317/7.0 = 0.045. Table 23-8 lists the main factors that are needed for mathematical representation of KgO in a typical case of the absorption of CO9 by aqueous mouethauolamiue. Figure 23-27 shows some of the complex behaviors of equilibria and mass-transfer coefficients for the absorption of CO9 in solutions of potassium carbonate. Other than Henry s law, p = HC, which holds for some fairly dilute solutions, there is no general form of equilibrium relation. A typically complex equation is that for CO9 in contact with sodium carbonate solutions (Harte, Baker, and Purcell, Ind. Eng. Chem., 25, 528 [1933]), which is... 

References A variety of mathematical methods are proposed to cope with hnear (e.g., material balances based on flows) and nonhnear (e.g., energy balances and equilibrium relations) constraints. Methods have been developed to cope with unknown measurement uncertainties and missing measurements. The reference list provides ample insight into these methods. See, in particular, the works by Mah, Crowe, and Madron. However, the methods all require more information than is tvpicaUy known in a plant setting. Therefore, even when automated methods are available, plant-performance analysts are well advised to perform initial adjustments by hand. 

The calculational base consists of equilibrium relations and material and energy balances. Equilibrium data for many binary systems are available as tabulations of x vs. y at constant temperature or pressure or in graphical form as on Figure 13.4. Often they can be extended to other pressures or temperatures or expressed in mathematical form as explained in Section 13.1. Sources of equilibrium data are listed in the references. Graphical calculation of distillation problems often is the most convenient... 

In the modern mathematical theory of Lagrange singularities the metamorphosis of saucer formation is the first in a long list (related to the classification of Lie groups, catastrophe theory, etc.). But Ya.B. s pancake theory was constructed two years prior to these mathematical theories and, thus, Ya.B. s work anticipated a series of results in catastrophe theory and the theory of singularities. Many later mathematical studies in the theory of singularities and metamorphoses of caustics and wave fronts were performed under the influence of Ya.B. s pioneering work in 1970 on the pancake theory [34 ]. 

There is no way to predict off-hand the angles between a set of hybrid orbitals without elaborate mathematical calculations, so the geometry of the orbitals is a matter that the be-gihner simply has to remember. The important distinction between simple atomic and hybrid orbitals lies in the fact that hybrid orbitals are much more concentrated into one direction in space than are atomic orbitals, and they have a different geometrical relation to one another. Table 4.7 lists various hybrid orbitals and their general geometries. The numbers listed in the table under overlap strength provide a measure of the relative concentration of the orbitals into one direction. 

There are very many methods available to build mathematical models that relate biological properties to chemical structure. Given the limitations of space here, this section will just focus on a few of the more commonly used techniques. To give a taste of the variety of methods available, Table 7.3 lists some of the better known techniques. 

We will specifically consider water relations, solute transport, photosynthesis, transpiration, respiration, and environmental interactions. A physiologist endeavors to understand such topics in physical and chemical terms accurate models can then be constructed and responses to the internal and the external environment can be predicted. Elementary chemistry, physics, and mathematics are used to develop concepts that are key to understanding biology—the intent is to provide a rigorous development, not a compendium of facts. References provide further details, although in some cases the enunciated principles carry the reader to the forefront of current research. Calculations are used to indicate the physiological consequences of the various equations, and problems at the end of chapters provide further such exercises. Solutions to all of the problems are provided, and the appendixes have a large list of values for constants and conversion factors at various temperatures. 

Fin efficiency relations are developed for fins of various profiles, listed in Table 3-3on page 165. The mathematical functions 7 and K that appear in some of these relations are the modified Bessel functions, and their values are given in Table 3-4. Efficiencies are plotted in Fig. 3-42 for fins on a plain surface and in Fig. 3-43 for circular fins of constant lhickne.s.s. For most fins of constant thickness encountered in practice, the fin thickness t is too small relative to the fin length L, and thus the fin tip area is negligible.
