A number of early experimental studies have provided qualitative evidence for some or all of these behavioral aspects (e.g., 4, 74-80), but the techniques employed were usually crude and/or the systems were poorly characterized, if at all. This makes it impossible to use these early exper-mental data to draw conclusions as to die quantitative relationships between the rheological properties on the one hand, and important system variables, such as volume fiaction, interfacial tension, mean drop size (and size distribution), fluid viscosities, shear rate, etc., on the other. In the last decade or so, interest in this area has intensified and much progress has been and is being made along several fronts theoretical modeling, computer simulation, and careful experimentation. For other recent, though by now somewhat outdated, reviews, see Refs 81-84.

At this point we should also recall another application of the already mentioned Bernal model of amorphous surface. Namely, Cascarini de Torre and Bottani [106] have used it to generate a mesoporous amorphous carbonaceous surface, with the help of computer simulation and for further application to the computer simulation study of adsorption. They have added a new component to the usual Bernal model by introducing the possibility of the deletion of atoms, or rather groups of atoms, from the surface according to some rules. Depending on the particular choice of those rules, surfaces of different porosity and structure can be obtained. In particular, they have shown examples of mono- as well as pohdispersed porous surfaces...

Hypercubes and other new computer architectures (e.g., systems based on simulations of neural networks) represent exciting new tools for chemical engineers. A wide variety of applications central to the concerns of chemical engineers (e.g., fluid dynamics and heat flow) have already been converted to run on these architectures. The new computer designs promise to move the field of chemical engineering substantially away from its dependence on simplified models toward computer simulations and calculations that more closely represent the incredible complexity of the real world.

If a reliable kinetic model and data on cooling capacity are at hand, runaway scenarios can be examined by computer simulations and only final findings have to be tested experimentally. Such an approach has been presented, e.g. by Zaldivar et al. (1992). However, the detailed reaction mechanism and reaction kinetics are rarely known. Therefore, thermokinetic methods with gross (macro-)kinetics dominate among methods for data... 

In the third class of models, computer simulations try to fully incorporate all processes in the discharge, the interaction of species created in the discharge with the wall (i.e., the substrate), and the network formation [190,191,232,447-449]. These models to date do not treat the formation of disorder or defects, but aim at the understanding of the deposition rate, hydrogen content, and other macroscopic properties in relation to the discharge conditions (see also Section 1.4). 

The interpretation of phenomenological electron-transfer kinetics in terms of fundamental models based on transition state theory [1,3-6,10] has been hindered by our primitive understanding of the interfacial structure and potential distribution across ITIES. The structure of ITIES was initially studied by electrochemical and thermodynamic analyses, and more recently by computer simulations and interfacial spectroscopy. Classical electrochemical analysis based on differential capacitance and surface tension measurements has been extensively discussed in the literature [11-18]. The picture that emerged from... 

This chapter is concerned with the application of liquid state methods to the behavior of polymers at surfaces. The focus is on computer simulation and liquid state theories for the structure of continuous-space or off-lattice models of polymers near surfaces. The first computer simulations of off-lattice models of polymers at surfaces appeared in the late 1980s, and the first theory was reported in 1991. Since then there have been many theoretical and simulation studies on a number of polymer models using a variety of techniques. This chapter does not address or discuss the considerable body of literature on the adsorption of a single chain to a surface, the scaling behavior of polymers confined to narrow spaces, or self-consistent field theories and simulations of lattice models of polymers. The interested reader is instead guided to review articles [9-11] and books [12-15] that cover these topics. 

Wallqvist and Mountain (1999) explored molecular models of water, beginning with the precomputer-era models, but mainly focused on the computer-era models. Computer simulations, which have been available since the 1960s, have contributed the missing dimension of time to the picture (or should we say movie) of the molecular structure of water. Computer simulations are powerful additions to the previous combination...

Clearly, any measurement that differentiates between the properties of high and low temperature forms of H20(as), and/or delineates the relationship between H20(as) and liquid H20, can be used to test the hypotheses advanced vis a vis their structures. These and the experimental tests suggested, together with the construction of continuous random network models more sophisticated than that for Ge(as), the increased use of computer simulation, and exploitation of the available experimental information to guide the choice of appproximations in a statistical mechanical theory should increase our understanding of H20(as) and, uitimately, liquid H20.

Over the last four decades or so, transport phenomena research has benefited from the substantial efforts made to replace empiricism by fundamental knowledge based on computer simulations and theoretical modeling of transport phenomena. These efforts were spurred on by the publication in 1960 by Bird et al. (6) of the first edition of their quintessential monograph on the interrelationships among the three fundamental types of transport phenomena mass transport, energy transport, and momentum transport. All transport phenomena follow the same pattern in accordance with the generalized diffusion equation (GDE). The unidimensional flux, or overall transport rate per unit area in one direction, is expressed as a system property multiplied by a gradient (5)... 

In addition to these experimental methods, there is also a role for computer simulation and theoretical modelling in providing understanding of structural and mechanical properties of mixed interfacial layers. The techniques of Brownian dynamics simulation and self-consistent-field calculations have, for example, been used to some advantage in this field (Wijmans and Dickinson, 1999 Pugnaloni et al., 2003a,b, 2004, 2005 Parkinson et al., 2005 Ettelaie et al., 2008). 

Figure 1.5—Theoretical plate model. Computer simulation of the elution of two compounds, A and B, chromatographed on a column with 30 theoretical plates (KA = 0.5 KB = 1.6 MA — 300 pg Mb = 300 pg) showing the composition of the mixture at the outlet of the column after the first 100 equilibria. As is evident from the graph, this model leads to a non-symmetrical peak. However, when the number of equilibria is very large, and because of diffusion, the peak looks more and more like a Gaussian distribution.

Due to the superposition of two inversionally related half molecules in Fe3(CO), 2, the determination of the arrangement of the carbonyl groups proved a difficult task. In fact, nearly 17 years elapsed before it was successfully solved by a process of computer simulation and modeling.40... 

Direct establishment of the asymptotic reaction law (2.1.78) requires performance of computer simulations up to certain reaction depths r, equation (5.1.60). In general, it depends on the initial concentrations of reactants. Since both computer simulations and real experiments are limited in time, it is important to clarify which values of the intermediate asymptotic exponents a(t), equation (4.1.68), could indeed be observed for, say, r 3. The relevant results for the black sphere model (3.2.16) obtained in [25, 26] are plotted in Figs 6.21 to 6.23. The illustrative results for the linear approximation are also presented there.
