Order of equation

The rate law necessary for making a mechanistic proposal is conveniently determined by DCV using the reaction order approach introduced in Section 6.7.1. Usually, the value of v required to keep R/ equal to 0.5 is used and referred to as U /2 (or v0.5). The relationships between v /2 and the reaction orders of Equation 6.30 are given by Equations 6.44 and 6.45... 

With the general polynomial equation discussed above, the value of the first coefficient, a, represents the intercept of the line with the y-axis. The b coefficient is the slope of the line at this point, and subsequent coefficients are the values of higher orders of curvature. A more physically significant model might be achieved by modelling the experimental data with a special polynomial equation a model in which the coefficients are not dependent on the specific order of equation used. One such series of equations having this property of independence of coefficients is that referred to as orthogonal polynomials. 

The ordering of equations affects the equation solution time. 

Interactions of third (or higher) order can be extended in a straightforward manner. The order of equation 2.61 has a dimensionality of n=3. A third order interaction (involving five bonds or three bond rotational angles) has a dimensionality of n = 9 because the rotational states of two bonds have to be considered. Thus, the state of bond i-2 has to be included with that of bond i-l. Similarly, the state of bond /+ has to be included in that of bond i. This calculation thus involves the transition between bonds i-2, i-1 to bonds i, i+1. 

In Figure 1(A), chains interpenetrate strongly whereas chains are segregated in Figure 1(B). Neutron scattering experiments showed that chains are ideal in a melt. Hence, interpenetration of chains is necessary in a three-dimensional melt to establish a concentration in the order of Equation (4). Figure 1(A) is adequate. 

These two mechanisms give rise to tlie following resultant bond orders of Equation 8.45 ... 

One condition of analysis is that the pivots must be different from zero. To achieve this, it may be required to change the order of equations. This is called partial pivoting. In some cases, it may require not only an interchange of equations but also an interchange of the position of the variables. This is called complete pivoting. 

Equation (5.8) tends to predict vapor loads slightly higher than those predicted by the full multicomponent form of the Underwood equation. The important thing, however, is not the absolute value but the relative values of the alternative sequences. Porter and Momoh have demonstrated that the rank order of total vapor load follows the rank order of total cost. 

The enthalpy of pure hydrocarbons In the ideal gas state has been fitted to a fifth order polynomial equation of temperature. The corresponding is a polynomial of the fourth order ... 

The previous equation is only valid as long as there is no compositional change of the gas between the subsurface and the surface. The value of E is typically in the order of 200, in other words the gas expands by a factor of around 200 from subsurface to surface conditions. The actual value of course depends upon both the gas composition and the reservoir temperature and pressure. Standard conditions of temperature and pressure are commonly defined as 60°F (298K) and one atmosphere (14.7 psia or 101.3 kPa), but may vary from location to location, and between gas sales contracts. 

At first we tried to explain the phenomenon on the base of the existence of the difference between the saturated vapor pressures above two menisci in dead-end capillary [12]. It results in the evaporation of a liquid from the meniscus of smaller curvature ( classical capillary imbibition) and the condensation of its vapor upon the meniscus of larger curvature originally existed due to capillary condensation. We worked out the mathematical description of both gas-vapor diffusion and evaporation-condensation processes in cone s channel. Solving the system of differential equations for evaporation-condensation processes, we ve derived the formula for the dependence of top s (or inner) liquid column growth on time. But the calculated curves for the kinetics of inner column s length are 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller than the experimental ones [12]. 

The sound pressure P was produced at the point D by the ultrasonic sound source which was generated at the point B in "n" order of the munite area AA by the incident beam. The sound pressure P is given by the equation(l)... 

Here, r is positive and there is thus an increased vapor pressure. In the case of water, P/ is about 1.001 if r is 10" cm, 1.011 if r is 10" cm, and 1.114 if r is 10 cm or 100 A. The effect has been verified experimentally for several liquids [20], down to radii of the order of 0.1 m, and indirect measurements have verified the Kelvin equation for R values down to about 30 A [19]. The phenomenon provides a ready explanation for the ability of vapors to supersaturate. The formation of a new liquid phase begins with small clusters that may grow or aggregate into droplets. In the absence of dust or other foreign surfaces, there will be an activation energy for the formation of these small clusters corresponding to the increased free energy due to the curvature of the surface (see Section IX-2). 

There is also a traffic between the surface region and the adjacent layers of liquid. For most liquids, diffusion coefficients at room temperature are on the order of 10 cm /sec, and the diffusion coefficient is related to the time r for a net displacement jc by an equation due to Einstein ... 

Spreading velocities v are on the order of 15-30 cm/sec on water [39], and v for a homologous series tends to vary linearly with the equilibrium film pressure, it", although in the case of alcohols a minimum seemed to be required for v to be appreciable. Also, as illustrated in Fig. IV-3, substrate water is entrained to some depth (0.5 mm in the case of oleic acid), a compensating counterflow being present at greater depths [40]. Related to this is the observation that v tends to vary inversely with substrate viscosity [41-43]. An analysis of the stress-strain situation led to the equation... 

It is worthwhile, albeit tedious, to work out the condition that must satisfied in order for equation (A1.1.117) to hold true. Expanding the trial fiinction according to equation (A1.1.113). assuming that the basis frmctions and expansion coefficients are real and making use of the teclmiqiie of implicit differentiation, one finds... 

Note the order of the subscripts on D[R] which follows from the fact that we use the N-convention of (equation A1.4.56) to define the effect of a permutation on a function. 

If Langmuir adsorption occurs, then a plot of 9 versus p for a particular isothenn will display the fonn of equation (Al.7.3). Measurements of isothenns are routinely employed in this manner in order to detennine adsorption kinetics. 

When, for a one-component system, one of the two phases in equilibrium is a sufficiently dilute gas, i.e. is at a pressure well below 1 atm, one can obtain a very usefiil approximate equation from equation (A2.1.52). The molar volume of the gas is at least two orders of magnitude larger than that of the liquid or solid, and is very nearly an ideal gas. Then one can write... 

Oyy/Ais of the order of hT, as is Since a macroscopic system described by themiodynamics probably has at least about 10 molecules, the uncertainty, i.e. the typical fluctuation, of a measured thennodynamic quantity must be of the order of 10 times that quantity, orders of magnitude below the precision of any current experimental measurement. Consequently we may describe thennodynamic laws and equations as exact .
