This follows a series-parallel network, corresponding to either hydroxylation of the benzene ring, or de-ethylation of the tertiary amine, leading to MEGX, to hydroxylidocaine, and ultimately to hydroxyMEGX ... 

An illustration of a series-parallel network is provided by the step-change polymerization kinetics model of Section 7.3.2. The following example continues the application of this model to steady-state operation of a CSTR. 

This network is a series-parallel network series with respect to HCHO in steps (1) and (2), parallel with respect to CH4 in steps (1) and (3), and parallel with respect to 02 and H20 in all steps. The rate constants kl, k2, and are step rate constants (like k in equation... 

Continuity equations for A and B are written similar to equations 23.4-11 to -16 (in this case we have a series network rather than a parallel network) ... 

In all cases studied, the membrane reactor offered a lower yield of formaldehyde than a plug flow reactor if all species were constrained to Knudsen diffusivities. Thus the conclusion reached by Agarwalla and Lund for a series reaction network appears to be true for series-parallel networks, too. That is, the membrane reactor will outperform a plug flow reactor only when the membrane offers enhanced permeability of the desired intermediate product. Therefore, the relative permeability of HCHO was varied to determine how much enhancement of permeability is needed. From Figure 2 it is evident that a large permselectivity is not needed, usually on the order of two to four times as permeable as the methane. An asymptotically approached upper limit of...

Compared to the formulation of Judd, our use of simple color shifts is much more elegant. A temporal effect is introduced when we assume that the local averaging, as described in Chapter 10, takes a finite amount of time. It takes some time until the process converges. Of course, intermediate results can still be obtained at any point in time. The computed output color would then depend on outdated information about local space average color, which is stored in the parallel network. This would explain why afterimages occur when the focus of fixation is suddenly moved to a different location. 

The topologically simplest networks are ID—>1D parallel networks but few are known for coordination polymers. A hydrogen bonded example is the co-crystal of 4,4 -dipyridylpropane (9.12) and 4,4 -sulfonyldiphenol (9.13), Figure 9.36. One dimensional strands can also give rise to two dimensional... 

We now analyze the Nyquist plots corresponding to some circuits. In this regard, for a parallel network involving a resistance, Rp, and a capacitance, (the impedance is given by...

Again, like the series network shown in Equation (1.5.22), the parallel network of Equation (1.5.33) can represent a variety of important reactions. For example, dehydrogenation of alkanes can adhere to this reaction network where the desired product DP is the alkene and the undesired side-product SP is a hydrogenolysis (C — C bond-breaking reaction) product ...

Consider the simple parallel network shown in Figure 18.1, where there are N lines connecting a supply point at pressure pi (Pa) and height zi (m) with a downstream vessel at pressure p2 and height Z2- If liquid is being carried, the flow in each line will conform to equation (4.81) given below with notation adapted to that of Figure 18.1 ... 

Additions of these two simple cases can lead to series parallel networks of chemical reaction. When we encounter a problem like this one, we have to handle the kinetics carefully. This is just what we will do in the case of this problem.

Stereophotographs of a space-filling model of part of the a-TMA (5) structure, showing how the three-dimensional structure is built up by triple catenation of two pleated chicken-wire TMA networks. The arrangement in (a) is directly comparable with the schematic diagram of Fig. 8 however the model comprises only that portion of Fig. 8 lying between the eentral and right-hand two-fold axes, (b) Two interlaced TMA networks. This part of the diagram is directly comparable to Fig. 9. (c) Three networks (d) Four networks. This shows the interpenetration of one network by parallel portions of three other networks, (e) Six networks, showing the mutual interlaeing of three parallel networks with three others in the second orientation.

When evaluating parallel network performance, it is important to ascertain whether reported bandwidth data refer to unidirectional or bidirectional bandwidths. Most communication networks provide bidirectional communication channels, which are able to transmit messages in both directions...

The second basic t5rpe of construct in a RED is the parallel network. The parallel drawing (Figure 5-4) shows that a system will be successful if any of the components are successful.
