Descriptive models

The logic that leads us to this last result also limits the applicability of the ensuing derivation. Applying the fraction of total lattice sites vacant to the immediate vicinity of the first segment makes the model descriptive of a relatively concentrated solution. This is somewhat novel in itself, since theories of solutions more commonly assume dilute conditions. More to the point, the model is unrealistic for dilute solutions where the site occupancy within the domain of a dissolved polymer coil is greater than that for the solution as a whole. We shall return to a model more appropriate for dilute solutions below. For now we continue with the case of the more concentrated solution, realizing...

In order to design a zeoHte membrane-based process a good model description of the multicomponent mass transport properties is required. Moreover, this will reduce the amount of practical work required in the development of zeolite membranes and MRs. Concerning intracrystaUine mass transport, a decent continuum approach is available within a Maxwell-Stefan framework for mass transport [98-100]. The well-defined geometry of zeoHtes, however, gives rise to microscopic effects, like specific adsorption sites and nonisotropic diffusion, which become manifested at the macroscale. It remains challenging to incorporate these microscopic effects into a generalized model and to obtain an accurate multicomponent prediction of a real membrane. 

The key attribute of flows in micro devices is their laminar character, which stands in contrast to the mostly turbulent flows in macroscopic process equipment. Owing to this feature, micro flows are a priori much more accessible to a model description than macro flows and can be described by first-principle approaches without any further assumptions. In contrast, for the simulation of turbulent flows usually a number of semi-heuristic models are applied, and in many situations it is not clear which description is most adequate for the problem under investigation. As a result, it stands to reason to assume that a rational design of micro reactors... 

This example is based on the model description of Sec. 3.3.4, and involves a multicomponent, semi-batch system, with both heating and boiling periods. The compositions and boiling point temperatures will change with time. The water phase will accumulate in the boiler. The system simulated is based on a mixture of n-octane and n-decane, which for simplicity will be assumed to be ideal but which has been simulated using detailed activity coefficient relations by Prenosil (1976). 

There are various parameters and assumptions defining radionuclide behavior that are frequently part of model descriptions that require constraints. While these must generally be determined for each particular site, laboratory experiments must also be conducted to further define the range of possibilities and the operation of particular mechanisms. These include the reversibility of adsorption, the relative rates of radionuclide leaching, the rates of irreversible incorporation of sorbed nuclides, and the rates of precipitation when concentrations are above Th or U mineral solubility limits. A key issue is whether the recoil rates of radionuclides can be clearly related to the release rates of Rn the models are most useful for providing precise values for parameters such as retardation factors, and many values rely on a reliable value for the recoil fluxes, and this is always obtained from Rn groundwater activities. These values are only as well constrained as this assumption, which therefore must be bolstered by clearer evidence.
