Parameter interrelation

When the energy of the system depends upon the magnetic field B, electron spin S and nuclear spins 7y, the set ofmagneticparameters is covered by the second-rank tensors ic, D, Ag, oN, TN and KNM. These are the reduced magnetic parameters, interrelated with the observed (measured) quantities according to Table 5.1.

Another parameter that plays an important role in unifying viscosity, diffusion, and sedimentation is the friction factor. This proportionality factor between velocity and the force of frictional resistance was introduced in Chap. 2, and its role in interrelating the topics of this chapter is reflected in the title of the chapter. 

The critical parameters of steam sterilization are temperature, time, air elimination, steam quaUty, and the absence of superheating. Temperature and time are interrelated, as shown in equation 8. The success of steam sterilization is dependent on direct steam contact which can be prevented by the presence of air in the chamber. The abiUty of steam to heat a surface to a given temperature is considerably reduced by the presence of air. Air elimination, therefore, is regarded as an absolute parameter. If the required amount of air has not been eliminated from the chamber and the load, no combination of time and temperature results in complete sterilization. 

Parameters q and W are variables when filtration conditions are changed. Coefficient (rj, is a function of pressure (rj, = f(P). The exact relationship can be derived from experiments in a device called a compression-permeability cell. Once this relationship is defined, the integral of the right hand side of the above equation may be evaluated analytically. Or, if the relationship is in the form of a curve, the evaluation may be made graphically. The interrelation between W and P, is established by the pump characteristics, which define q = f(W) in the integral. Filtration time may then be determined from dq/dt = W, from which we may state ... 

Beaded polymeric supports are produced by a two-phase suspension polymerization in which microdrops of a monomer solution are directly converted to the corresponding microbeads. The size of a microdroplet is usually determined by a number of interrelated manufacturing parameters, which include the reactor design, the rate of stirring, the ratio of the monomer phase to water, the viscosity of both phases, and the type and concentration of the droplet stabilizer. 

The molecular structure and properties of polyolefins have been explained by several workers in the past [10-14]. This chapter deals with the primary molecular parameters and their effect on processability and ultimate properties of PEs. Since molecular parameters are closely interrelated, it is not possible to discuss one without referring to the other. Hence, in the section relating to the effect of chain branching, reference has also been made to MW and MWD and vice versa. 

In a fundamental sense, the miscibility, adhesion, interfacial energies, and morphology developed are all thermodynamically interrelated in a complex way to the interaction forces between the polymers. Miscibility of a polymer blend containing two polymers depends on the mutual solubility of the polymeric components. The blend is termed compatible when the solubility parameter of the two components are close to each other and show a single-phase transition temperature. However, most polymer pairs tend to be immiscible due to differences in their viscoelastic properties, surface-tensions, and intermolecular interactions. According to the terminology, the polymer pairs are incompatible and show separate glass transitions. For many purposes, miscibility in polymer blends is neither required nor de-... 

We conclude that the preparation of the samples of the polymer composites with the corresponding electrical properties in the form, say, of the plates, bars, hollow cylinders, etc., that are usually used for the purpose of research in the laboratories, and of real articles should be considered as two interrelated problems. This is important and should be stressed, as the values of the conductivity and other parameters obtained for the simple forms might prove different for the forms that may be used as constructional elements. Therefore, these circumstances should be taken into account at the design stage of a conducting composite as well as the optimum technological techniques of molding of practically important articles. 

Thermodynamic, statistical This discipline tries to compute macroscopic properties of materials from more basic structures of matter. These properties are not necessarily static properties as in conventional mechanics. The problems in statistical thermodynamics fall into two categories. First it involves the study of the structure of phenomenological frameworks and the interrelations among observable macroscopic quantities. The secondary category involves the calculations of the actual values of phenomenology parameters such as viscosity or phase transition temperatures from more microscopic parameters. With this technique, understanding general relations requires only a model specified by fairly broad and abstract conditions. Realistically detailed models are not needed to un-... 

In this application the reader will examine the influence of the interrelation between the two liquids on the extent and rate of the demixing process. In Example 5.1, the two liquids have a modest affinity for each other, characterized by rules describing a relatively low breaking probability rule between them. These setup data are found in Parameter setup 5.1. 

Modern representations of the virtual heart, therefore, describe structural aspects like fibre orientation in cardiac muscle, together with the distribution of various cell types, active and passive electrical and mechanical properties, as well as the coupling between cells. This then allows accurate reproduction of the spread of the electrical wave, subsequent contraction of the heart, and effects on blood pressure, coronary perfusion, etc. It is important to point out, here, that all these parameters are closely interrelated, and changes in any one of them influence the behaviour of all others. This makes for an exceedingly complex system. 

In electrolyte solutions the molecules dissociate into ions spontaneously, so that the solution becomes conductive. Different electrolytes exhibit different degrees of dissociation, a, which will influence the actual values of molar conductivity A the two parameters are interrelated as... 

Passivation looks different when observed under galvanostatic conditions (Fig. 16.2b). The passive state will be attained after a certain time t when an anodic current which is higher than is applied to an active electrode. As the current is fixed by external conditions, the electrode potential at this point undergoes a discontinuous change from E to Ey, where transpassive dissolution of the metal or oxygen evolution starts. The passivation time t will be shorter the higher the value of i. Often, these parameters are interrelated as... 

Different parameters are nsed to characterize the corrosion rate the loss of mass by the metal sample within a certain length of time (per nnit area), the decrease in sample thickness, the eqnivalent electric cnrrent density, and so on. For most metals nndergoing nniform general corrosion, these parameters in order of magnitude can be interrelated (while allowing for atomic masses and densities) as 1 g/m -yr 10 " mm/yr 10 " A/m. ... 

Many of the parameters above are by themselves interrelated. Thus, the heat of sublimahon characterizing the chemical bond strength in the crystal lathee correlates with the temperature of fusion and with the compressibility of a metal. Therefore, finding a correlahon with a new parameter does not necessarily imply the gain of new, independent information concerning the nature of catalyhc achon. 

A plasma process is characterized by many parameters, and their interrelations are very complex. It is of paramount importance to understand, at least to a first approximation, how the plasma parameters have to be adjusted when the geometrical dimensions of the plasma system are enlarged. Especially of use in scaling up systems are scaling laws, as formulated by Goedheeret al. [148, 149] (see also Section 1.3.2.2). 

Once the selectivity is optimized, a system optimization can be performed to Improve resolution or to minimize the separation time. Unlike selectivity optimization, system cqptimization is usually highly predictable, since only kinetic parameters are generally considered (see section 1.7). Typical experimental variables include column length, particle size, flow rate, instrument configuration, sample injection size, etc. Hany of these parameters can be. Interrelated mathematically and, therefore, computer simulation and e]q>ert systems have been successful in providing a structured approach to this problem (480,482,491-493). 

These relationships interrelate the parameters pressure, volume and temperature with the Gibbs free energy of a system. It may be pointed out that the results embodied in these equations are applicable to closed systems only. 

For the design of a GAC system, the following interrelated parameters should be taken into consideration ... 

Since the integration values form such an important element of structure determination, we need to set the spectrometer up properly before carrying out the NMR experiment. And one very important parameter which is often forgotten is the relaxation delay, the delay between the single NMR experiments which allows the nuclei to relax. Remember that relaxation is an exponential process, so that theory suggests that it is necessary for the best results to set this equal to at least five times (in our case more than 25 sec for the aromatic protons ). The other parameter we need to set correctly is of course the pulse angle, and the following set of experiments show how these are interrelated. 

In this introductory chapter, we first consider what chemical kinetics and chemical reaction engineering (CRE) are about, and how they are interrelated. We then introduce some important aspects of kinetics and CRE, including the involvement of chemical stoichiometry, thermodynamics and equilibrium, and various other rate processes. Since the rate of reaction is of primary importance, we must pay attention to how it is defined, measured, and represented, and to the parameters that affect it. We also introduce some of the main considerations in reactor design, and parameters affecting reactor performance. These considerations lead to a plan of treatment for the following chapters. 

In water atomization, a number of operation variables are to be considered in order to properly control the process. The variables include geometry parameters, process parameters, and thermophysical properties of metal/alloy and water. Each design and configuration of an atomization unit are unique and thus only some specific operation conditions may be employed. Many of the variables are interrelated. Therefore, there may exist more than one set of optimum variable combinations for a given atomization unit. 

Optimization of texture is the practical aspect of texturology, and the sections below, along with the derivation of the basic interrelations between textural parameters, illustrate some possible routes for texture optimization. 

Table 9.7 shows the results of the calculations of average parameters of PBU/P for isotropic DRP, fulfilled by Serra [134] and Meijering [152], Serra used VD-method while Meijering used the Johnson-Mehl s (JM) statistical model [150] of simultaneous growth of crystals until the total filling of the whole free space was accomplished. The parameter Nv in the table is the number of PBUs in a unit of system volume, thus Nv 1 is the mean volume of a single PBU, which is related to the relative density of the packing (1—e) with an interrelation... 

The quantitation of 13C spectra, which involves Tl and n.O.e. values, is often interrelated with the spin-spin relaxation-time (T2), which is short for polysaccharides and can lead to broad lines and, thus, lack of resolution. Thus, a description of each parameter is necessary from the standpoints of quantitation, and knowledge, of molecular motions in solutions and gels. 

Again, the majority of these parameters are interrelated and highly dependent on the method used to determine them. Red blood cell count (RBC), platelet counts, and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) may be determined using a device such as a Coulter counter to take direct measurements, and the resulting data are usually stable for parametric methods. The hematocrit, however, may actually be a value calculated from the RBC and MCV values and, if so, is dependent on them. If the hematocrit is measured directly, instead of being calculated from the RBC and MCy it may be compared by parametric methods. 

Last, it should always be kept in mind that it is rare for a change in any single hematologic parameter to be meaningful. Rather, because these parameters are so interrelated, patterns of changes in parameters should be expected if a real effect is present, and analysis and interpretation of results should focus on such patterns of changes. Classification analysis techniques often provide the basis for a useful approach to such problems. 

The obvious advantage is that the steady-state solution of an S-system model is accessible analytically. However, while the drastic reduction of complexity can be formally justified by a (logarithmic) expansion of the rate equation, it forsakes the interpretability of the involved parameters. The utilization of basic biochemical interrelations, such as an interpretation of fluxes in terms of a nullspace matrix is no longer possible. Rather, an incorporation of flux-balance constraints would result in complicated and unintuitive dependencies among the kinetic parameters. Furthermore, it must be emphasized that an S-system model does not necessarily result in a reduced number of reactions. Quite on the contrary, the number of reactions r = 2m usually exceeds the value found in typical metabolic networks. 

Since both reactants compete for the same binding site, both saturation parameters are interrelated 0J < 0J. A similar situation occurs for two substrates that compete for the same binding site.
