Non-integer power

The particular power (3 is an example of a critical exponent. There are many more such examples of critical exponents, of course, as a variety of thermodynamic functions have singularities at H = 0 and T = Tc and are all similarly expected to be non-integer powers for example, it is expected that... 

Numerous attempts to interpret the Stefan-Ostwald constant in terms of molecular models have been reviewed by Partington Some of the proposed equations contain, not surprisingly, or with the inherent dimensional problem of non-integer powers of numbers of moles. Others contain the latent heat of evaporation, or or both. By way of illustration Abdulnur found that... 

Today this AI most often is known as Freundlich-isotherm although it is due to the three authors mentioned [7.34]. It is a truncated Taylor-series expansion of the mass adsorbed (m) in powers of an often non-integer power (a > 0) of the sorptive gas pressure (p) ... 

The approach with non-integer powers can be used to compactly formulate this infinite number of RC circuits [OUS 97]. This has been successfully applied to a PEM electrolyzer in [RAL 11]. 

If we introduce non-integer powers (nip), the impedance of an electrolyzer can be expressed in the following manner, preserving as much generality as possible ... 

The kinetics of the ethylene oxidation are rather complicated as they depend not only on ethylene and oxygen pressure but also on the concentration of the reaction products. These influence the rate by adsorption competition with the reactants. Moreover, different forms of adsorbed oxygen may occur on the catalyst surface. Consequently, the rate equations proposed in the literature consist of either Langmuir—Hinshelwood and Eley—Rideal types or power rate models with non-integer coefficients. Power rate models are less appropriate as their coefficients inevitably depend on the reaction conditions. 

In eqn. 2 Dg Is the dissociation energy, n the power of the asymptotically dominant Inverse-power term in the potential, vp the effective, non-integer value of the vibrational quantum number at dissociation and XgCn) Is a constant of the form... 

Functional forms used for the repulsion include the simple exponential multiplied by a linear combination of powers (possibly non-integer) of r, a generalized exponential function exp(-Z>(r)), where b r) is typically a polynomial in r, and a combination of these two ideas. 

Here /, r and, v are unequal integers in the set 1, 2, 3. As already mentioned, in the thin-layer approach the fluid is assumed to be non-elastic and hence the stress tensor here is given in ternis of the rate of deforaiation tensor as r(p) = riD(ij), where, in the present analysis, viscosity p is defined using the power law equation. The model equations are non-dimensionalized using... 

The combinatorial interpretation (or the computations of Sec. 14 regardless of combinatorial considerations) implies the following useful result Substituting a power series with non-negative integer coefficients in the difference of the cycle indices of A, and we get a power series with non-negative integer coefficients. 

In digital computation, numbers are represented by expansion in powers of a base (or radix) b, which is usually either 2 or 10, with coefficients that are non-negative integers <6. Thus... 

Reactions with fast pre-dissociation may, but need not, lead to fractional reaction orders of one half or integer multiples of one half or non-power law rate equations involving such exponents. 

It is clear that for large integers, this procedure is not efficient, since finding the order is a non-trivial procedure. The power of Shor s factorization algorithm lies in the fact that a quantum routine, which is extremely efficient, can be used to determine the order of a number. 

Variations exist of the BET equations, designed to linearize any non-linear plots. This is done by introducing a power term n to the equations. Unfortunately, this led to assumptions that n described the number of layers in a multilayer (volume filling) simation. Similarly when the DR equation does not predict a linear plot, the log term is replaced by a log" term when n usually is between 1 and 5 and need not be an integer. Such modifications are known as the Dubinin-Astakhov (DA) equation.
