As the domestic mix of fossil fuel resources changes over the coming years, new challenges will emerge for the design and renovation of our nation s installed base of refineries. While the practical aspects of this task must be left to the petroleum and gas industries, there is a need for fundamental research to provide new design concepts and for trained engineering personnel to maintain international competitiveness in these industries. 

The second group of papers (chapters 13-20) discusses the more practical aspects of isobutane alkylation including mixing, reaction variables, computer modeling, recovery of catalyst, and an alternate fuel to alkylate. 

This being the primary goal of the subsequent discussion we would also like to emphasize two other, perhaps more practical, aspects. On account of the rigidity of the underl3dng lattice it seems inconceivable to develop mixed isostress isostrain ensembles suitable for lattice MC simulations. On the other hand, lattice simulations are computationally much less demanding because molecules can occupy only discrete positions in. space. Hence, the number of configurations possible on a lattice is greatly reduced compared with simulations of continuous model systems. 

The above-described procedures are in use in the preparation of insoluble (truly speaking, sparingly soluble) metal salts (sulphides, selenides, halides, sulphates, carbonates, oxides etc.). Isolation, cleaning, calcination (wherever required) can be performed as required. Procedural information maybe found in recent literature [21-24]. According to experimental observations, the nature of the yield (particle size in particular) may depend on the sequence and rate of mixing. This aspect is not often tested in practice. 

Before finishing this section, we would like to discuss the practical aspects of mixing index calculations. The method requires utilization of the species transport equation along with a flow solver, which presently exists... 

In electrochemistry an electrode is an electronic conductor in contact with an ionic conductor. The electronic conductor can be a metal, or a semiconductor, or a mixed electronic and ionic conductor. The ionic conductor is usually an electrolyte solution however, solid electrolytes and ionic melts can be used as well. The term electrode is also used in a technical sense, meaning the electronic conductor only. If not specified otherwise, this meaning of the term electrode is the subject of the present chapter. In the simplest case the electrode is a metallic conductor immersed in an electrolyte solution. At the surface of the electrode, dissolved electroactive ions change their charges by exchanging one or more electrons with the conductor. In this electrochemical reaction both the reduced and oxidized ions remain in solution, while the conductor is chemically inert and serves only as a source and sink of electrons. The technical term electrode usually also includes all mechanical parts supporting the conductor (e.g., a rotating disk electrode or a static mercury drop electrode). Furthermore, it includes all chemical and physical modifications of the conductor, or its surface (e.g., a mercury film electrode, an enzyme electrode, and a carbon paste electrode). However, this term does not cover the electrolyte solution and the ionic part of a double layer at the electrode/solution interface. Ion-selective electrodes, which are used in potentiometry, will not be considered in this chapter. Theoretical and practical aspects of electrodes are covered in various books and reviews [1-9]. 

There are many further considerations and comparisons that could be made e.g., solid-state processes require the mixing of the two solid phases, but aqueous techniques require preparation of the exchange solution and filtration of the product from the spent liquor. Thus, there are reasons to consider solid-state techniques from a perspective of improving the practical aspects of processing in addition to the...

This chapter describes practical aspects of the application of UV absorbance temperature profiles to determine the thermodynamics of nucleic acid structural transitions. Protocols and practical advice are presented for issues not normally addressed in the primary literature but that are crucial for the determination of reliable thermodynamics, such as sequence design, sample preparation, choice of buffer, protocols for determining strand concentrations and mixing strands, design of microvolume cuvettes and cell holder, instrumental requirements, data analysis methods, and sources of error. References to the primaiy literature and reviews are also provided where appropriate.

Our purpose in this chapter is not to describe how to carry out a Cl calculation, but rather to convey what a Cl calculation is and what its predictive capabilities are. Therefore, we will not concern ourselves with the mathematical complexities of evaluating Hij and Sij But we will consider one practical aspect of Cl calculations, namely, how one goes about choosing which configurations should be mixed together, and which ones may he safely ignored. 

Fundamental and Practical Aspects of Mixed Matrix Gas Separation Membranes... 

The theory and practical aspect of potentio- and galvanostatic measurements of selective dissolution of homogeneous alloys are developed quite good [24-27], but not all the possibilities of chronovoltammetry are utilized. This is primarily determined by the fact that a solution of even a simplest diffusion problem for a perfectly smooth electrode at the linear potential trace is given by an integral equation [28, 29]. Obviously, accounting such complex nonlinear effects of non-equilibrium vacancy subsystem relaxation and alloy / solution interface displacement is hardly possible without the use of labor-intensive numerical calculations. At the same time the surface roughness of an electrode, equilibrium solid-phase adsorption accumulation of alloy components before selective dissolution, and ability of the mixed kinetic control can be taken into account in the analytieal solution of the voltammetric problem.
