Mint model

Relation (4.283), obtained by coupling Eq. (4.282) and (4.280), presents the time derivation results in (4.284). Replacing the term dCgg/dt in (4.284) by (4.280) results in the famous Mint model equation (4.285). Relations (4.286) and (4.287) are the most commonly used univocity conditions of this model (i) before starting fdtration, the bed does not contain any retained solid (ii) during filtration, the bed is fed with a constant flow rate of suspension, which has a constant concentration of solid. ... 

Relations (4.288)-(4.290) give one solution for the Mint model. It is not difficult to verify that this solution cannot cover the requirement of relation (4.281). The given solution is a series with a rapid convergence due to the strong evolution of the chain T . A good result will consequently be obtained by limiting the sum of Eq. (4.288) to four or five terms ... 

In the Mint model, we have to take into account the following considerations (i) the initial filtration coefficient Xq, which is a parameter, presents a constant value after time and position (ii) the detachment coefficient, which is another constant parameter (iii) the quantity of the suspension treated by deep filtration depends on the quantity of the deposited solid in the bed this dependency is the result of the definition of the filtration coefficient (iv) the start of the deep bed filtration is not accompanied by an increase in the filtration efficiency. These considerations stress the inconsistencies of the Mint model 1. valid especially when the saturation with retained microparticles of the fixed bed is slow 2. unfeasible to explain the situations where the detachment depends on the retained solid concentration and /or on the flowing velocity 3. unfeasible when the velocity of the mobile phase inside the filtration bed, varies with time this occurrence is due to the solid deposition in the bed or to an increasing pressure when the filtration occurs with constant flow rate. Here below we come back to the development of the stochastic model for the deep filtration process. 

For the transformation of the stochastic model into a form, such as the Mint model, that allows the computation of Cx,g(x, r)/Cvo, we consider that this ratio gives a measure of the probability to locate the microparticle in the specified position P(x,t) = Pi(x,t) + P2(x,t). We can simplify our equations by eliminating probabilities Pi(x, r) and P2(x,t) with the use of this last definition and the rela-... 

It is well known that only experimental investigation can validate or invalidate a model of a process. For the validation of the model developed above, we use the experimental data of the filtration of a dilute Fe(OH)j suspension (the concentration is lower than 0.1 g Fe(OH)3 /I) in a sand bed with various heights and particle diameters. The experiments report the measurements at constant filtrate flow rate and give the evolution with time of the concentration of Fe(OH)3 at the bed output when we use a constant solid concentration at the feed. Figure 4.36 shows the form of the time response when deep bed filtration occurs. The concentration of the solid at the exit of the bed is measured by the relative turbidity (exit turbidity/ input turbidity 100). The small skips around the mean dependence, which appear when the clogging bed becomes important, characterize the duality between the retention and dislocation of the bed-retained solid. This dislocation shows that the Mint model consideration with respect to the detachment coefficient is not acceptable, especially when the concentration of the bed-retained solid is high.

In this model, whether kq is a function of the solvent viscosity depends upon the relative magnitudes of Mint) and Mext). If Mint) Mext),then kq will depend upon viscosity if Mint) > Mext), the structural fluctuations in the protein allowing penetration of the quencher determine the magnitude of M and change in bulk viscosity may not affect this rate. Simulation of protein penetration behavior suggests that the penetration rate should be extremely sensitive to the size and charge of the quencher.(65)... 

Boyle was also a close colleague of another natural philosopher, who would come to have even greater distinction than he, Isaac Newton (1642—1727). Newton s crowning achievement was the elucidation of the law of gravitation and its application to celestial and terrestrial phenomena. He was a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University. He was also for many years president of the Royal Society of London and, more briefly, a member of Parliament and Master of the Mint. He was, in short, the very model of a modern major scientist and statesman of science. Until recently, historians have accepted that strict model and been reluctant to recognize that he was also a serious student and practitioner of alchemy. It is arguable that alchemy was as important to him as mathematical physics and astronomy. Newton and the age in which he lived were clearly more complex than the old historical model perceived. 

The mass balance of the retained solid is described by Eq. (4.280). The Mint deterministic model results from the coupling of this relation vfith the definition of the filtration coefficient. The result is written in Eq. (4.281) for the start time of the filtration and in Eq. (4.282) for the remaining filtration time. Here a is the detachment coefficient of the retained particle its dimension is T h...

Marx had an economic theory, but it is not clear whether he also minted it out in economic models. This involves the use of deliberately simplifying, quantitative assumptions - achieving precision at the expense of realism. Some of the - interrelated - advantages of models are the following, (i) They make it possible to assess the consistency of a theory and to derive testable implications from it. As long as a theory is offered...

A very useful theoretical model developed by Mints and Pukhov [51] allows the relationship between the spin factor and spin relaxation to be analysed. Using the stochastic LiouviUe equation and a phenomenological approach to treating spin relaxation, the authors arrive at the expression for the (e + radical) reactions as...
