Partial Quantities

Here we exemplify the concept of partial quantities in terms of the volume in a system composed of two components. However, the concept is more general. We assume that the volume is a function of the mol numbers, V = V(rii, 2)- Then the total differential is 

Because of the thermodynamic similarity, i.e., the volume is a homogeneous function of first order 

By division by i + 2, thus introducing molar quantities, we obtain 

The partial volumes Vi and V2 do not need to be constant quantities, in particular in nonideal systems. 

Obviously, in Eq. (2.32) the functional dependence changes now to Xi or X2 as independent variables, since the constraint Xi + X2 = 1 holds.

The turnover approximation approach illustrated in figure 54 is based on partial quantity points subdividing the turnover curve into multiple sections, for which turnover is linearly approximated. As explained in the previous section, X mm and Xs ""x are given as management-defined control parameters, which indicate the minimum and maximum spot sales... 

Since the turnover curve is concave7 and the piecewise linear turnover gradients decrease monotonically, no integer variables are required to decide, which partial quantity section is filled first. The objective function to maximize turnover will ensure to fill the partial quantity sections from left to right8. 

The partial quantity points imm, im,d, z max depend on the number of additional partial quantity points iadd added to improve the approximation accuracy. 

Partial spot sales quantities are defined first for the partial quantity points 7=1, zmm, im,d and zmax as cornerstones for the turnover approximation. The zero point, minimum and maximum sales boundaries as well as the spot demand forecast are assigned as partial spot sales quantities to these cornerstones. 

If further partial quantity points are added, additional partial sales quantities are evenly determined between minimum, demanded and maximum spot sales quantity. 

Now, partial spot sales quantities are defined for all partial quantity points on the x-axis of the turnover approximation, and the partial turnovers are determined for all partial spot sales quantities. 

Partial spot sales turnovers at the partial quantity points are determined using the exact turnover function. 

Turnover gradients are calculated for the linear connection of the sections between two neighbored partial quantity points. The special case of a section size 0 has to be handled. 

Now, the turnover approximation based on partial quantity points, partial spot sales quantities and partial spot turnover is fully defined. Concluding, thanks to this preprocessing phase, the spot sales parameters used in the model can be reduced to only four parameters ... 

Partial spot sales turnover is the product of partial quantity and partial turnover gradient. 

Elasticity experiments rely on the developed turnover approximation method. The following model performance tests investigate the influence of partial quantity points on approximation accuracy and solution time. The more sections subdivide spot sales quantities into partial quantities, the better the approximation, but the more constraints and decision variables are required. 

Table 32 shows the model performance the total and the maximum relative turnover gap are analyzed to evaluate the accuracy of the turnover approximation depending on the number of partial quantity points constraints, variables and solution time indicate the solution performance and model complexity. 

These partial quantities may either be used directly or transformed by means of the Gibbs-Duhem equation in the overall assessment of the system in question (Moser 1979). 

Administration ofchewable dispersible tablets Swallow lamotrigine chewable dispersible tablets whole, chewed, or dispersed in water or diluted fruit juice. If chewed, consume a small amount of water or diluted fruit juice to aid in swallowing. To disperse chewable dispersible tablets, add the tablets to a small amount of liquid (5 ml or enough to cover the medication). Approximately 1 minute later, when the tablets are completely dispersed, swirl the solution and consume the entire quantity immediately. Do not attempt to administer partial quantities of the dispersed tablets. 

Before these partial quantities are discussed further, an important comment has to be made unlike the partial transition rates, the partial level widths have no direct physical meaning, because even for a selected decay branch it is always the total level width which determines the natural energy broadening. The partial level width is only a measure of the partial transition rate. Both aspects can be inferred from the Lorentzian distribution attached to a selected decay branch, e.g., Auger decay, which is given by... 

Partial quantities are related to some part of the system they have their opposite in integral quantities, whose value relates to the system as a whole(like length, volume, mass, voltage,...). As an example having a mixture of two components, like sand and seeds -the mass of the mixture of both is an integral (and extensive) quantity, the masses of the individual components are partial in nature (extensive, too). Only integral extensive quantities are those that can be measured directly, partial or intensive ones are calculated from the results of other measurements. 

The internal energy balance equation for the fluid is based on the momentum balance equation. The assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium will enable us to introduce the thermodynamic relationships linking intensive quantities in the state of equilibrium and to derive the internal energy balance equation on the basis of equilibrium partial quantities. By assuming that the diffusion is a slow phenomenon, 1" J/p pv2, the change of the total energy of all components per unit volume becomes... 

First, two-dimensional partial quantities can be introduced. For the area, = 0A/3n° ) o it represents the increase in molar area if an infinitesimal amount... 

The additivity rule is well founded with ideal solutions where the molecules of the components show no mutual interactions and each keeps the value of a particular property the same as in the pure state. With real solutions the behaviour shows substantial deviations from the ideal one, and this is also the case of glasses consideration of glasses as solutions is nevertheless useful. As with real solutions, the behaviour here may also be described by means of partial quantities which depend on concentration and can be regarded as constant within a narrow composition range only. The problems of partial quantities and their use in the calculation of properties of glasses and for interpretation of structure has been the subject of a number of studies by Appen (1970). 

In the thermodynamics of mixtures [3.1], page 114, it can be shown, that for specific partial quantities of state the following relationship is valid... 

Similarly for partial quantities in a mixture we do not consider that different S3nnbols are required for different units of quantity. For example for the partial volume of ethyl alcohol in a mixture of water and alcohol containing 15% by mass of alcohol of molecular weight 46 we write... 

If we add to a water solution AN moles of any component i, its volume, heat, energy and other extensive properties will change by some value Ag. Such change of an extensive parameter, related to one mole solved component i, is called mean partial quantity... 

At least for this linear fluids mixfure, we (partially) overcome the usual objection to Truesdell s conception how to find fhe thermodynamic partial properties taken as primitives in this theory. Namely, we show that such partial quantities maybe calculated from the dependence of corresponding mixture properties on the composition using the so-called mixture invariance of balances [59], see Sects. 4.5 and 4.6. 

Summary. The balance of momentum postulated for individual constituents leads to the Cauchy s theorem for partial stress tensors (4.53) and the local form of this balance is given by (4.56) or (4.57). The balance of momentum for mixture as a whole is given by (4.63) or (4.64). The balance of moment of momentum postulated for individual constituents gives the symmetry of the partial stress tensor—see (4.70). Analogical balance for mixture as a whole gives symmetry of sum of these tensors, cf. (4.75). Note that in mixture conceptually new quantities entered these balances— especially partial quantities and the interaction forces between constituents. 

The property of mixture invariance will be used in the application of our model, see Sect. 4.6, namely, it gives the possibility of explicit calculations of partial thermodynamic properties similarly as in classical thermodynamics of solutions. Other applications (e.g. using mixture invariance as a constitutive principle permits to simplify constitutive equations for partial quantities) are discussed in [59, 60].
