Numerical modelling theory

The NMR experimental methods for studying chemical exchange are all fairly routine experiments, used in many other NMR contexts. To interpret these results, a numerical model of the exchange, as a frmction of rate, is fitted to the experimental data. It is therefore necessary to look at the theory behind the effects of chemical exchange. Much of the theory is developed for intennediate exchange, and this is the most complex case. However, with this theory, all of the rest of chemical exchange can be understood. 

As described in Sect. 2.4, SCF calculations are useful in determining local details of density profiles. A more local examination of profiles is indeed necessary to study the question of interpenetration in more detail. The analytical SCF theory [56, 57] shares with the adapted Alexander model embodied in Eq. 35 the characteristic of impenetrability. The full numerical SCF theory is necessary to... 

Numerous models have been proposed to interpret pore diffusion through polymer networks. The most successful and most widely used model has been that of Yasuda and coworkers [191,192], This theory has its roots in the free volume theory of Cohen and Turnbull [193] for the diffusion of hard spheres in a liquid. According to Yasuda and coworkers, the diffusion coefficient is proportional to exp(-Vj/Vf), where Vs is the characteristic volume of the solute and Vf is the free volume within the gel. Since Vf is assumed to be linearly related to the volume fraction of solvent inside the gel, the following expression is derived ...

While stellar evolution models describe neutron production, the calculations must be supplemented with nucleosynthesis calculations to determine what abundances of heavy elements the 13C or 22Ne neutron sources will produce. While analytic theory can approximate the production of heavy elements [3], numerical modelling of - 500 isotopes is used for detailed comparison of stellar evolution theory and observation. In general, the destruction of an isotope between Fe and Bi occurs due to that isotope capturing a neutron or f) decaying, while the creation of an isotope will be due to the neutron capture or f decay of lighter elements.

Although comparisons between analytic theory and model results can be used to extend our understanding of the controlling processes in a system with limited physical complexity, many systems may preclude any analytic formulation. Then experimental data provide the only means of checking the accuracy of the model. Below we show a non-reacting case in which the results from an experiment were used to test a numerical model. The model results then suggested new directions for the experiments. 

The model theory requires that in the scale-up from model- to the full-scale not only the geometric similarity (V/l3 = idem) is maintained, but also that all the other pi-numbers describing the problem keep the same numerical values (pi= idem). This implies that, for example, in the measurements with the boat and ship models both process numbers... 

Reliable scaling-up of the desired operating conditions from the model to the full-scale plant. This is based on the scale invariance of the pi-space. According to the model theory, two processes may be considered to be similar if they take place under geometrically similar conditions and all dimensionless numbers which describe the process have the same numerical value. 

Solvent permittivity — is an index of the ability of a solvent to attenuate the transmission of an electrostatic force. This quantity is also called the -> dielectric constant. -> permittivity decreases with field frequency. Static (related to infinite frequency) and optical op (related to optical frequencies) permittivities are used in numerous models evaluating the solvation of ions in polar solvents under both static and dynamic conditions. Usually the refractive index n is used instead of op (n2 = eop), as these quantities are available for the majority of solvents. The theory of permittivity was first proposed by Debye [i]. Systematic description of further development can be found in the monograph of Frohlich [ii]. Various aspects of application to reactions in polar media and solution properties, as well as tabulated values can be found in Fawcetts textbook [iii].

Before presenting numerical results, it is worth summarizing the main characteristics of the experimental results for the osmotic pressure of polyelectrolyte solutions [9, 17, 18, 57, 107], The measured osmotic coefficients most often exhibit strong negative deviations from ideality. The measured values are a) lower than it was predicted by the cylindrical cell model theory, b) rather (but not completely) insensitive to the nature of the counterions, and c) also insensitive to the polyelectrolyte concentration in a dilute regime and/or for...
