Mixed constitutions

The losses in the reactor are chemical exergy losses, whereas the cooler losses can be attributed to physical exergy losses. Mixing constitutes physical losses as do the losses in the extruder due to the dissipation of mechanical energy to heat. The losses in the purge vessel (V3) are due to the fact that the gas is incinerated. The sum of all losses equals 4.73MJ/kg PE, or US 0.0465 per kg PE. 

Vapours and gases, either pure or mixed, constitute a single phase because the component gases are miscible. 

A century later Aristotle (384—322 b.c.), who had been a pupil of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, took up the idea of prime matter and Empedocles four elements, and he added four qualities, hot, cold, wet, and dry. Qualities imposed on prime matter generated elements, which, when mixed, constituted the substances that we find in and on the earth. Earth was cold and... 

In case of mixed constitutive properties, in inductive-conductive or in capacitive-conductive multipoles, the impedance is a combination of two paths, one per nature of system constitutive properties. This fusion of purely inductive or capacitive paths with a purely conductive one justifies the adoption of common mounting rules for all natures of dipoles. 

The second point to be examined is, whether the Convention were authorised to frame and propose this mixed Constitution. 

For the constitutional theories of Book i, the study of Polybius by K. von Fritz, The Theory of the Mixed Constitution in Antiquity (New York, 1954), remains fundamental. More recent studies include the chapter on Polybius Book 6 in F. W. Walbank, Polybius (Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1972) D. Hahm, Polybius Applied Political Theory, in Justice and Generosity, and A. Lintott The Theory of the Mixed Constitution at Rome, in Philosophia Togata II. J. A. North, Democratic Politics in Republican Rome, Past and Present 126 (1990), 3—21, relates constitutional theory to the practice of Roman politics and reviews the recent debate on democratic elements in Roman government, and M. Schofield provides an excellent discussion of Cicero s use of the term respublica in Cicero s Definition of Res Publicaf in Cicero the Philosopher.

The account of the Servian constitution is not only fragmentary but concentrates on its timocratic elements and its place in the mixed constitution to such an extent that C. omits the reorganization of the tribes generally connected with it and the miUtary purpose of the centuriate structure. C. s numbers diverge somewhat from the other accounts, and all versions clearly reflect later reorganizations of the system. 

The reference is to Carthage, traditionally founded in 815/4. Polybius too compares Rome with Carthage and Sparta as examples of the mixed constitution. 

While Polybius emphasizes the mixed constitution as a defensive system of checks and balances, C. prefers to see the ideal more positively as one that incorporates elements of all three simple forms. 

The first ( good ) Decernvirale was in 451 the second ( bad ) Decemvirate, in 450—449. For C., this represents the change frcm aristocrat to oligarchy, while the overthrow of the second Decemvirate jmd the restoration of the Repubhc under the consuls Valerius and Horatius in 449 m u ks the transition to the mixed constitution.
