With these kinetic data and a knowledge of the reactor configuration, the development of a computer simulation model of the esterification reaction is iavaluable for optimising esterification reaction operation (25—28). However, all esterification reactions do not necessarily permit straightforward mathematical treatment. In a study of the esterification of 2,3-butanediol and acetic acid usiag sulfuric acid catalyst, it was found that the reaction occurs through two pairs of consecutive reversible reactions of approximately equal speeds. These reactions do not conform to any simple first-, second-, or third-order equation, even ia the early stages (29).

Method of Variation of Parameters This method is apphcable to any linear equation. The technique is developed for a second-order equation but immediately extends to higher order. Let the equation be y" + a x)y + h x)y = R x) and let the solution of the homogeneous equation, found by some method, he y = c f x) + Cofoix). It is now assumed that a particular integral of the differential equation is of the form P x) = uf + vfo where u, v are functions of x to be determined by two equations. One equation results from the requirement that uf + vfo satisfy the differential equation, and the other is a degree of freedom open to the analyst. The best choice proves to be... 

The higher-order equation can be written as a set of first-order equations. 

Convert this second-order equation into two first-order equations along with the boundaiy conditions written to include a parameter. s to represent the unknown value of i (0) = dy/dx 0). 

The kinetic equation can vary with a number of factors. For the reaction between tricalcium phosphate and urea, relatively coarse material (-180-1-200 mesh) obeyed the law x = kt with E = 18 kcaP g mol (32,400 Btu/lb mol) and finer material (—300f320 mesh) obeyed a first-order equation with E = 28 kcaPg mol. 

The interaction of one solute molecule with two solvent molecules would lead directly to a second order equation in terms of concentration but more experimental evidence is required before this can be confirmed. 

Obviously, the implementation of the second-order equations is a completely numerical procedure [55-58]. It is a comphcated numerical task even for simple fluids. However, the accuracy of the results depends on the closures applied. 

Consider the first-order equation, Eq. (2-6). Writing this for concentrations Ci and C2 at times ti and t2 and subtracting gives Eq. (2-42). 

Although a closed-form solution can thus be obtained by this method for any system of first-order equations, the result is often too cumbersome to lead to estimates of the rate constants from concentration-time data. However, the reverse calculation is always possible that is, with numerical values of the rate constants, the concentration—time curve can be calculated. This provides the basis for a curve-...

A water body is considered to be a one-diiuensional estuary when it is subjected to tidal reversals (i.e., reversals in direction of tlie water quality parameter are dominant). Since the describing (differential) equations for the distribution of eitlier reactive or conserv ative (nomciictive) pollutants are linear, second-order equations, tlie principle of superposition discussed previously also applies to estuaries. The principal additional parameter introduced in the describing equation is a tid il dispersion coefficient E. Methods for estimating this tidiil coefficient are provided by Thomaim and Mueller... 

These are zero-, first-, second-, th-order perturbation equations. The zero-order equation is just the Schodinger equation for the unperturbed problem. The first-order equation contains two unknowns, the first-order correction to the energy, Wi, and the first-order correction to the wave function, 4< i. The th-order energy correction can be calculated by multiplying from the left by 4>o and Integrating, and using the turnover rule ( o Ho, ) = (, Ho o)... 

Up to this point we are still dealing with undetermined quantities, energy and wave funetion corrections at each order. The first-order equation is one equation with two unknowns. Since the solutions to the unperturbed Schrddinger equation generates a complete set of functions, the unknown first-order correction to the wave function can be expanded in these functions. This is known as Rayleigh-Schrddinger perturbation theory, and the equation in (4.32) becomes...

The economics of an immobilised cell process depend on the lifetime of the microorganism and a continued level of clean product delivered by the fixed cells. It is important to eliminate the free cells from the downstream product without the use of any units such as centrifuge or filtration processes. Since the cells are retained in the ICR, the activity of intracellular enzymes may play a major role. It is assumed that the deactivation of the enzyme at constant temperature follows a first-order equation as shown below 17... 

In various fields of commercial catalyst practice, it has been customary for more than 30 years (I) to use a very simple first order, or psuedo first order, equation in preliminary converter design where very great changes in conditions are not made. This equation, for constituent X, may be written as... 

Figure 5 depicts the effect of calcination temperature on subsequent catalyst activity after reduction at 300°C (572°F). Activity was measured in laboratory tubular reactors operating at 1 atm with an inlet gas composition of 0.40% CO, 25% N2, and 74.6% H2, and an inlet temperature of 300°C. Conversion of CO is measured and catalyst activity is expressed as the activity coefficient k in the first order equation ... 

It was shown, in Eqs. (1-73), (1-74), (1-75), that a = 1, afy r> => 0, a = 0. As the zeroth approximation we shall assume that A mid /a are zero (their effects are negligibly small) if Eqs. (1-86) and (1-87) are multiplied by /a and A, respectively, we obtain the condition that og0 and -oSi are zero higher order equations would show that all the coefficients are zero. Thus, the coefficients are proportional to some power of /a (or A). The zero-order approximation to the distribution function is just the local maxwellian distribution...
