Particle selection

For small particles, selectivity increases with particle size (14,30) In our results, Ag(lll) has an average selectivity which is about 6% higher (in absolute units) than Ag(llO) (28). Since the particle surface should evolve from open, or (110)-like, to close-packed, or (lll)-like, with increasing size, these results may be favorably correlated. [Pg.214]

The random selection in step (iii) is carried out by generating uniform random numbers U e [0, 1], For example, the index of a random particle selected from a set of N particles will be n = intup(//N) where intuP() rounds the argument up to the nearest integer. Note that for constant-density, statistically stationary flow, the effective flow rates will be constant. In this case, steps (i) and (ii) must be completed only once, and the MC simulation is advanced in time by repeating step (iii) and intra-cell processes. For variable-density flow, the mean density field ((p)) must be estimated from the notional particles and passed back to the FV code. In the FV code, the non-uniform density field is held constant when solving for the mean velocity field.15... [Pg.354]

Random selection with replacement means that elements from the set are returned to the selection pool after they are selected. This implies that members of the set can be selected more than once. There appears to be some confusion in the literature on the use of random sampling with or without replacement. However, because the notional particles represent a composition PDF with fixed statistical properties (and not fluid particles), selection with replacement is the correct choice. Moreover, it is the only choice that will allow iV to be different in every cell. For example, in the extreme case where Ni = 1 and Ni = 100, (7.16) might yield W)v = 10 so that ten notional particles must be selected from the first grid cell. Since N = 1, this can only be accomplished with replacement. [Pg.354]

The inner cavity of carbon nanotubes stimulated some research on utilization of the so-called confinement effect [33]. It was observed that catalyst particles selectively deposited inside or outside of the CNT host (Fig. 15.7) in some cases provide different catalytic properties. Explanations range from an electronic origin due to the partial sp3 character of basal plane carbon atoms, which results in a higher n-electron density on the outer than on the inner CNT surface (Fig. 15.4(b)) [34], to an increased pressure of the reactants in nanosized pores [35]. Exemplarily for inside CNT deposited catalyst particles, Bao et al. observed a superior performance of Rh/Mn/Li/Fe nanoparticles in the ethanol production from syngas [36], whereas the opposite trend was found for an Ru catalyst in ammonia decomposition [37]. Considering the substantial volume shrinkage and expansion, respectively, in these two reactions, such results may indeed indicate an increased pressure as the key factor for catalytic performance. However, the activity of a Ru catalyst deposited on the outside wall of CNTs is also more active in the synthesis of ammonia, which in this case is explained by electronic properties [34]. [Pg.400]

The interaction of ultrasound waves with microbubbles allows a drug (including genetic material for gene therapy [10]) to be released from the particles selectively at the desired insonified areas of the body, thus allowing targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. Currently, this approach is still far from clinical application. [Pg.76]

XPS data suggest that the surface of the CVD catalysts is finely covered by a homogeneous silica layer except for Pt particles, where small holes are formed. Since hydrogenation exclusively occurs on Pt particles, selectivity is brought about by steric hindrance around the Pt site in the holes. Less hindered double bonds, consequently, are hydrogenated preferentially. [Pg.850]

In this way, Lu and coworkers [99] have prepared core-shell particles selective to 2,4-D, via RAFT controlled/living polymerization, to allow growth of uniform MIP shells with adjustable thicknesses (Fig. 13). Moreover, a competitive assay was accomplished between 2,4-D and the structurally related fluorophore 7-car-boxy-4-methylcoumarin (CMMC). A typical competitive curve is obtained in buffered solution. The useful concentration range for the detection of 2,4-D ranged from 50 nM to 20 pM. The detection limit was around 10 nM, making possible its application to real samples. [Pg.151]

Following Atkins [68], the propagation of particles follows a path dictated by Newton s laws, equivalent to Hamilton s principle, that particles select paths between two points such that the action associated with the path is a minimum. Therefore, Fermat s principle for light propagation is Hamilton s principle for particles. The formal definition of action is an integral identical in structure with the phase length in physical optics. Therefore, particles are associated with wave motion, the wave-particle dualism. Hamilton s principle of least... [Pg.101]

Consider the propagation of a one-dimensional normal shock wave in a gas medium heavily laden with particles. Select Cartesian coordinates attached to the shock front so that the shock front becomes stationary. The changes of velocities, temperatures, and pressures of gas and particle phases across the normal shock wave are schematically illustrated in Fig. 6.12, where the subscripts 1, 2, and oo represent the conditions in front of, immediately behind, and far away behind the shock wave front, respectively. As shown in Fig. 6.12, a nonequilibrium condition between particles and the gas exists immediately behind the shock front. Apparently, because of the finite rate of momentum transfer and heat transfer between the gas and the particles, a relaxation distance is required for the particles to gain a new equilibrium with the gas. [Pg.265]

Preferential concentration of particles by turbulence, i.e., the particles selectively concentrated in particular structures by turbulence may cause rapid attenuation of that structure or trigger a new instability [Squires and Eaton, 1990]. [Pg.286]

Figure 16.4 Comparison of the character [513C, 14C age, and organic carbon (OC)/surface area ratio] of POC collected in the (a) Eel (USA) and (b) Amazon rivers. In the Eel, sorption of marine OC on riverine particles, which have lost very little kerogen as they enter the coast, account for the decrease in age of particles with increasing distance from shore. Conversely, as particles selectively lose young labile terrestrial OC on the coast there is an increase in the age of these particles with increasing distance, since they are not completely reloaded with marine OC.

Suppose, for example, of 10 particles selected for analysis 7 had the attribute A and 3 the attribute B, we are to determine the chance that the proportion of those having attribute A is between 0.6 and 0.8 of the whole, that is, that it differs by = =0.1 of its expected value 0.7.

Fluidized and transport bed processes have also been developed for better management of the heat released. The former prevents the occurrence of hot spots in the catalyst bed through a more uniform temperature profile. The concentration of the -butane can also be higher, even within the explosion limits, thanks to the barrier to flame propagation constituted by the fluidized bed of particles. Selectivity is not however dissimilar to that in fixed bed operation due to considerable back-mixing of the products and longer residence times. [Pg.59]

Fig. 9. Comparison of cryo-EM images of T7 heads with corresponding reprojections of the full-head reconstruction and with projections of a computer-modeled DNA spool (Cerritelli et at, 1997). These tailless heads were obtained from an 11. 12T deletion mutant. The particles selected for comparison (c, h, and m) are viewed along icosahedral symmetry axes (of the capsid) that are parallel or perpendicular to the axis of the DNA spool (packaging axis). Cutaway views of the reconstructed head viewed in 5-fold, 2-fold, and nearly 3-fold orientations are shown in (a), (f), and (k), respectively. Fig. 9.

Figure 17.14a shows the separation of racemic propranolol by CEC on a capillary column filled with poly(methacrylic acid-co-TRIM), polymerised in situ using (i )-propranolol as the print molecule [61]. Several attractive features make this system look promising for the future very low consumption of the print molecule (in this case only 10 pg), fast preparation of the capillaries (3 h) and fast separation (less than 2 min). In Fig. 17.14b, MIP particles selective for (5)-propranolol were added to the mobile phase in a CE separation [62]. The application of MIPs in CE and CEC is described in more detailed in Chapter 16.

Chiral separation using MIPs can also be achieved by bubble fractionation [63] and with MIP membranes [64-68], MIP particles selective for an amino acid derivative were used as collectors for enantiomeric enrichment by bubble fractionation. The method is envisaged to be a potentially powerful approach to process-scale separations [63]. [Pg.413]

Since the shape selectivity is clearly related to reactant and/or product diffusion through the pores and cavities of the zeolite, the selectivity should increase as the size of the zeolite particles and, thus, the extent of diffusion, increases. This has been established using the H-ZSM-5 alkylation of toluene with methanol as the probe reaction. Three catalysts with particles ranging in size from 0.025 j.m to 4.5 im were used. The results listed in Table 10.1 for reactions run at various temperatures show that with the largest catalyst particles selectivity toward p-xylene formation was 100% at all temperatures. As the particle size decreased so did the reaction selectivity. Increasing the temperature increased the reaction selectivity with the smaller particle sized catalysts. 3... [Pg.203]
