Large zeolite crystals with dimensions of tens and hundreds of micrometers have proven to be irreplaceable as model materials for reactivity and diffusion studies in the field of zeolite science and heterogeneous catalysis [1-3], These large crystallites often possesses complex structures consisting of several intergrown subunits and since the pore orientations of the different elements are not always aligned, this phenomenon can have a considerable effect on the accessibility of the pores in different crystallite regions [4]. 

Fe(btr)2(NCS)2]-H20 undergoes a complete ST centred at 134 Kwith a hysteresis loop of width 21 K. This derivative represents the first example of a 2D ST compound and has become a model material in SCO research. The presence of a crystallographic phase transition to account for the observed hysteresis was first proposed since crystal cracking was regularly observed when the sample was cooled through the temperature region of the spin transition [59]. Recent X-ray data recorded at 95 K, where the com-... 

Aggregates are microprecipitates of tens to thousands of polymer molecules which can be invisible to the naked eye or appear as a faint cloudiness in the solution. They form when a poor solvent such as methanol is added to a molecularly dispersed solution of the polymer in a good solvent, such as toluene or THF, or vice versa. Since aggregates are the first stage of a solid precipitate, they are also useful as model materials of the solid bulk state polymers and are amenable to study by many solution techniques such as solution-state UV and CD spectroscopy. Chiral molecules... 

Here is the element viscosity, is the element modulus, and Ay is the relaxation time. If this model material is placed in a constant stress environment for a fixed time and then the stress is removed, then the time-dependent strain will have the recovery characteristics shown in Fig. 3.11.

Is one model scale sufficient or should tests be carried out in models of different sizes One model scale is sufficient if the relevant numerical values of the dimensionless numbers necessary to describe the problem (the so-called process point in the pi space describing the operational condition of the technical plant) can be adjusted by choosing the appropriate process parameters or physical properties of the model material system. If this is not possible, the process characteristics must be determined in models of different sizes, or the process point must be extrapolated from experiments in technical plants of different sizes. 

We have to realize that sometimes requirements concerning physical properties of model materials exist that cannot be implemented. In such cases only a partial similarity can be realized. For this, essentially only two procedures are available (for details see Refs. 5 and 10). One consists of a well-planned experimental strategy in which the process is divided into parts, which are then investigated separately under conditions of complete similarity. This approach was first applied by William Froude (1810-1879) in his efforts to scale-up the drag resistance of the ship s hull.
