Although this section has emphasized possible errors in the observed data, the above considerations should not be used as a crutch to support an invalid or inaccurate model. In truth, in most circumstances the observed data are our best real indication of system behavior. Combining model simulations with an informed skepticism of both model and the observed data can lead to a better overall understanding of modeling natural systems.

Thirteen minerals appear supersaturated in the first block of results produced by the chemical model (Table 6.6). These results, therefore, represent an equilibrium achieved internally within the fluid but metastable with respect to mineral precipitation. It is quite common in modeling natural waters, especially when working at low temperature, to find one or more minerals listed as supersaturated. Unfortunately, the error sources in geochemical modeling are large enough that it can be difficult to determine whether or not a water is in fact supersaturated.

Dispersion and Tanks in Series Model. The first attempts at modeling naturally tried the simple one-parameter models however, observed conversion well below mixed flow cannot be accounted for by these models so this approach has been dropped by most workers. 

We have discussed methods for experimentally finding dispersion coefficients for the various classes of dispersion models. Although the models were treated completely separately, there are interrelations between them such that the simpler plug-fiow models may be derived from the more complicated general models. Naturally, we would like to use the simplest possible model whenever possible. Conditions will be developed here for determining when it is justifiable to use a simpler plug-flow model rather than the more cumbersome general model.

In this chapter we focus on supramolecular chemical reactivity. In particular this means predominantly the role supramolecular chemistry plays in accelerating or understanding chemical reactions. There are close parallels between artificial, abiotic supramolecular reactivity and biochemistry, for example in the study of enzymes, Nature s catalysts - described in Section 2.6. Synthetic catalysts can both model natural ones and allow the design of new, different kinds of reactions. Supramolecular catalysis sits somewhere between chemical catalysis (transition metal and organocatalysis) and biology. Some considerations within various kinds of catalysis are summed up in the chart shown in Figure 12.1.
