Parabola equations

Curvature can result from non-linearity of the change in the shape of potential energy surfaces in the region where they intersect. A reasonable assumption (over a small range of pK variation) is that the two intersecting curves are parabolic and that the change in entropy within the series is constant. The equations for free energy may therefore be written for the reactant parabola (Equation 4) and product parabola (Equation 5). "... 

When calculating the lattice parameter, the diffraction peak data Kai and Ka2 of the sample should be separated first, and then peak values can be calculated by parabola function fitting method. As the accuracy of the determination of lattice parameters is determined by the precision of the angle measured, so in order to enhance the accuracy when reading value of angles and to avoid errors caused by human factors, as shown in Fig. 7.26, in the vicinity of peak 20m, 10 to 15 data of diffraction intensity are collected, with parabola equation fitting near the peak intensity distribution curve by the least square method to obtain the best 20 peak value. With known lattice parameters of the silica powder and sample together, the test results are obtained under the same condition to establish curve correction. 

Equation V-64 is that of a parabola, and electrocapillary curves are indeed approximately parabolic in shape. Because E ax tmd 7 max very nearly the same for certain electrolytes, such as sodium sulfate and sodium carbonate, it is generally assumed that specific adsorption effects are absent, and Emax is taken as a constant (-0.480 V) characteristic of the mercury-water interface. For most other electrolytes there is a shift in the maximum voltage, and is then taken to be Emax 0.480. Some values for the quantities are given in Table V-5 [113]. Much information of this type is due to Gouy [125], although additional results are to be found in most of the other references cited in this section. 

The exact solution of the instanton equation in the large ohmic friction limit has been found by Larkin and Ovchinnikov [1984] for the cubic parabola (3.18). At T = 0... 

Equation 18 defmes a parabolic relationship between filtrate volume and time. The expression is valid for any type of cake (i.e., compressible and incompressible). From a plot of V + C versus (t+Tq), the filtration process may be represented by a parabola with its apex at the origin as illustrated in Figure 5. Moving the axes to distances C and Tq provides the characteristic filtration curve for the system in terms of volume versus time. Because the parabola s apex is not located at the origin of this new system, it is clear why the filtration rate at the beginning of the process will have a finite value, which corresponds to actual practice. 

Similar equations were suggested by experimental studies.Some authors determine the trajectory axis from equations of another kind—parabola,... 

Solution. Draw into the iv diagram the characteristic curve of the fan and the duct-pressure-drop volume flow dependency. The latter is a parabola passing through the origin with the following equation ... 

Let us assume a reaction coordinate x running from 0 (reactant) to 1 (product). The energy of the reactant as a function of x is taken as a simple parabola with a force constant of a. The energy of the product is also taken as a parabola with the same force constant, but offset by the reaction energy AEq- The position of the TS (jc ) is taken as the point where the two parabola intersect, as shown in Figure 15.27. The TS position is calculated by equating the two energy expressions. 

Actually the assumptions can be made even more general. The energy as a function of the reaction coordinate can always be decomposed into an intrinsic term, which is symmetric with respect to jc = 1 /2, and a thermodynamic contribution, which is antisymmetric. Denoting these two energy functions h2 and /zi, it can be shown that the Marcus equation can be derived from the square condition, /z2 = h. The intrinsic and thermodynamic parts do not have to be parabolas and linear functions, as in Figure 15.28 they can be any type of function. As long as the intrinsic part is the square of the thermodynamic part, the Marcus equation is recovered. The idea can be taken one step further. The /i2 function can always be expanded in a power series of even powers of hi, i.e. /z2 = C2h + C4/z. The exact values of the c-coefficients only influence the...

The advantage of equation (A1.35) over equation (A1.34) is that it approximates the line segment with a curve (parabola) instead of a straight line, which generally allows the line segment to better follow the actual line, and increases the accuracy with which the area can be determined. 

To examine the shape that this equation enables us to predict for log k or AG as a function of AG, we substitute the parameter for a specific case. The value of kfc will be taken as 7.4 x 109 L mol-1 s l, that being the value in water at 298 K. Values of k calculated from Eq. (10-66) are shown in Fig. 10-10 as a function of AG. Values of AG are also depicted. The value A = 80 kJ mor1 was used and Z was taken from TST as 6.21 x 1012 s l at 298 K. The effect of introducing the diffusion-controlled limit is that the plot is shaped like a truncated parabola. This figure was drawn with K = k /k-Ac = 0.2 L mol-1. The left side of each of the diagrams shows the inverted region where k decreases and AG increases as AG becomes more negative. 

Marcus theory. Prove the point that A = 4AGJ by making use of the analytic expressions for the equation of a parabola. The two equations should be those that describe the curves on the left side of Fig. 10-11. 

For any constant pressure P, equation 2.78 is the equation of a parabola, and therefore all surfaces of constant pressure are paraboloids of revolution. The free surface of the liquid is everywhere at the pressure P0 of the surrounding atmosphere and therefore is itself a paraboloid of revolution. Putting P = Pa in equation 2.78 for the free surface... 

The secret is to build a primary that is aspheric to get the desirable optical properties of these designs while keeping the segments as close as possible to a shape that is spherical or can be polished almost as easily as a sphere such as a toroid, a surface with two constant radii. To study this idea further, consider a mirror that is a parabola of revolution. We use a parabola because the more realistic hyperboloid is only a few percent different from the parabola but the equations are simpler and thus give more insight into the real issues of fabrication. The sagitta, or sag, of a parabola is its depth measured along a diameter with respect to its vertex, or... 

Figure 24. Lattice strain model applied to zircon-melt partition coefficients from Hinton et al. (written comm.) for a zircon phenocryst in peralkaline rhyolite SMN59 from Kenya. Ionic radii are for Vlll-fold coordination (Shannon 1976). The curves are fits to Equation (1) at an estimated eraption temperature of 700°C (Scaillet and Macdonald 2001). Note the excellent fit of the trivalent lanAanides, with the exception of Ce, whose elevated partition coefficient is due to the presence of both Ce and Ce" in the melt, with the latter having a much higher partition coefficient into zircon. The 4+ parabola cradely fits the data from Dj, and Dy, through Dzi to Dih, but does not reproduce the observed DuIDjh ratio. We speculate that this is due to melt compositional effects on Dzt and (Linnen and Keppler 2002), and possibly other 4+ cations, in very silicic melts. Because of its Vlll-fold ionic radius of 0.91 A (vertical line), Dpa is likely to be at least as high as Dwh, and probably considerably higher.

A cosh plot resembles a very steep parabola for small values of (0(concentration dependence of CGC arising through k (equation (2.28)). At the pzc, the only drop across the mercury interface is due to the water dipoles and we can write

Debye length from the differential capacitance plot. 

Past the transition state of the photoinduced reaction, J, the system goes down the repulsive product surface, P, until P crosses the intersection with the reactant surface R. These two surfaces are sketched in Fig. 16a. Their intersection is a parabola (the central line in Fig. 16c) whose projection in the X -Yi plane (straight line in Fig. 16b) is defined by equation (67). 

In the adsorption formula the exponent is a constant, and the equation is, therefore, that of a general parabola. If we make n — 2, a case which actually occurs, the formula becomes...
