Numerical Evaluation of the Model

using data reported in the literature [99,104] and considering that abH2 2 0 [kJ/mol] [104], Tables 9.2 and 9.3 show the experimental values for 2 calculated with Equation 9.24, and the theoretical values for i 2 (x) and i 2 (R) calculated with the help of Equations 9.18b and c in terms of the variables x = dlrv and R, using the Scientific Notebook program [111], 

The results obtained with the slit pore model are not reported since the calculated values do not agree with the experiment [97], This is an expected outcome, since the zeolite geometry can be modeled with the cylindrical pore or the spherical pore geometries, but not with the slit pore geometry. 

The results obtained with the cylindrical pore geometry (Table 9.2) are in reasonable agreement with the reported experimental data [97], However, for the H-Y zeolite, the cylindrical pore model did not provide a good result, since the pore system of the zeolite Y resembles a three-dimensional cylindrical system [115], The appropriate model for the zeolite Y is the spherical geometry pore [107] in this regard, the results reported in Table 9.3 shows that only the zeolite Y is properly described with the spherical geometry pore model [97],

The results reported in this Section 9.6.4 clearly shows that the pore geometry is very important for the understanding of how the reaction takes place as was previously stated by Derouane and collaborators [116,117],

In these relations, Ki denotes the equilibrium constant of reaction step i. For the numerical evaluation of the model, it is assumed that the backward reaction of step lb has the same transition state as the transition state for the re-desorption of A2 in Model 1, and that the entropy of the molecular precursor on the surface is negligible. The results are shown in Figure 4.37. It is observed that the model predicts that catalysts of much larger reactivity (more negative AEt) will be optimal for reactions where the diatomic molecule is strongly bound to the surface before the dissociation. 

For numerical evaluations of the model we have to set the values of the parameters matching the studied systems. The value of the dielectric permittivity of water was assumed to be equal to that of bulk water at the corresponding temperature throughout all the calculations, i.e., = 87.74... 

An important issue is the reliability of the model over the entire United States. EPIC was tested for accuracy in estimating ET and Q by many investigators on data gathered from the United States and other countries. Numerous tests of the model are described by Sharpley and Williams70 and by others. Model tests by others are summarized below in each of these evaluations, EPIC produced accurate estimates of ET and Q. 

Loadings Plot (Model and Sample Diag io tiL) The iouding.s can he used to help determine the optimal number of factors to consider for the model. For spectroscopic and chromatographic data, the point at which the loading displays random behavior can indicate the maximum number to consider. Numerical evaluation of the randomness of the loadings has been proposed as a method for determination of the rank of a data matrix for spectroscopic data... 

The QCE model also allows numerical evaluation of the heat capacities, thermal coefficients, and compressibilities needed to construct the thermodynamic metric geometry. Unfortunately, the higher derivatives of Q that are needed to evaluate the QCE thermodynamic metric are subject to considerable errors, both from underlying theoretical approximations and from increasingly severe numerical errors in finite-difference evaluations. Significant improvements, including extension to multicomponent chemical mixtures and more accurate description of cluster-cluster interactions, are needed before QCE-like models can provide additional ab initio insights into the mysteries of nonideality in phase equilibria.

The numerical nature of the model elements are, in principle, in a convenient form for subsequent quantitative evaluation. 

All the solutions discussed above are given in the form of infinite integrals. In the case of a pulse injection, a similar analytical solution has not been derived yet, except for Carta s solution of Rosen s model. However, the numerical evaluation of the inverse Laplace transform is possible. It has been calculated in the case of the general rate model i.e., Eqs. 6.58 to 6.64a) by Lenhoff [38]. The numerical integral derived by Lenhoff is given by ... 

Note added in proof In view of the failure of the harmonic oscillator model to account for the observed rate of activation in unimolecular dissociation reactions (the dissociation lag problem) these calculations have been repeated for a Morse anharmonic oscillator with transition between nearest and next-nearest neighbor levels [S. K. Kim, /. Chem. Phys. (to be published)]. The numerical evaluation of the analytical results obtained by Kim has not yet been carried out. From the results obtained by us and our co-workers [Barley, Montroll, Rubin, and Shuler, /. Chem. Phys. in press)] on the relaxation of vibrational nonequilibrium distributions of a system of Morse anharmonic oscillators it seems clear, however, that the anharmonic oscillator model with weak interactions (i.e., adiabatic perturbation type matrix elements) does not constitute much of an improvement on the harmonic oscillator model in giving the observed rates of activation. The answer to tliis problem would seem to lie in a recalculation of the collisional matrix elements for translational-vibrational energy exchange which takes account of the strong interactions in highly energetic collisions which can lead to direct dissociation. 

With this classification scheme a PLS-DA model was built. The best fitting model included five latent variables. Figure 8.3 shows the plot of the first two latent variables of the PLS-DA model. In the plot, about 92% of the total variance of the data is represented. As it can be seen, a clear separation between the data related to patients with lung cancer and the other samples is observed. On the other hand, the samples related to postsurgery and healthy reference show some overlap. A numerical evaluation of the classification properties can be obtained by considering the cross-validation of the PLS-DA method according to a leave-one-out technique [44]. 

Of particular importance for the numerical evaluation of the parameters of the previously mentioned model of substituent effects on orbital energies (or ionization energies, respectively) is the observation that the ionization energies of the highest-energy a orbitals ( (i)) of allenes are related to the group moments li R) of the substituents R (as defined in Table 3). The substituent effect A/ (if(,)) = /.(iF(o)(RHC=C=CH2) - 7 (2e)(H2C=C=CH2) is given by Equation 96 (24). 

Yeh and Tsai (104) present a model obtained by integral transform techniques. Their model includes a periodic velocity component as shown in Eq. (46). They assume that velocity is not a function of distance. Their solutions are too lengthy to present here, and numerical evaluation of the analytical expressions is required. A substantial computer effort is required for this, especially since the sine and cosine series are slow to converge. Benedict (5, 6) had noted the fact that coefficients determined by Yeh and Tsai (104) from fitting to field data are one to two orders of magnitude greater than typical values as presented in Section III. Care must therefore be exercised in model use. 

Simulation results in Fig.4.17 obtained by numerical evaluation of the coupled bond graph models in Fig. 4.16 confirm that residuals V2 and indicate this change in the behavioural model of the real circuit in accordance with the FSM in Table4.1. 

It is often implied that the dual-mode-sorption model has a [ ysical basis in two distinct mechanisms of gas solubility in dense polymers. The first one is assumed to be associated with a liquid-like solubility, while the second one is due to gas solubility in some preexisting holes in a polymer structiue. To check the microscopic basis of this aiqu-oach, one can analyze the distribution d bj values, obtained through numerical evaluation of the solute s distribution function in atomistic micro-structures dense polymers if the dual-mode-sorption model is meaningful for this case, tlten tie value bn should stand out among all others in the spectrum of bj valtes.

Although Eq. (49) possesses the simple Yukawa-type form, its application in the general case of spheroid interaction in space is not straightforward because of the necessity of a numerical evaluation of the geometrical functions G and G [12,15], However, analogous to the Deijaguin model, these functions can be evaluated analytically for some limiting orientations collected in Table 1. 

In three dimensions, this combinatorial problem is so complex, that an analytical form for P(v, p) has not yet been found, in spite trf great interest in the infinite Ising lattice as a model for describing phase transitions in general. As our model is finite by nature of the problem, we have resorted to numerical evaluation of the hmction P and of the summations required for obtaining z, 0 and other functions depending on p and q.
