Personal Computer MODELing

Quantitative Image Analysis. A software package compatible with a HP personal computer (Model 9836) has been developed to assess the morphology of rubber particles in HIPS. The package is capable of analyzing the following information ... 

Convection Drying Modeling. Models of the drying process have been developed to estimate whether a particular coating can dry under the conditions of an available dryer. These models can be mn on desktop personal computers (see Computer technology).

With the introduction of Gear s algorithm (25) for integration of stiff differential equations, the complete set of continuity equations describing the evolution of radical and molecular species can be solved even with a personal computer. Many models incorporating radical reactions have been pubHshed. 

Seeing the success of the UNAMAP BBS, EPA s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards started a BBS for information on regulatory models in June 1989. This has expanded to a BBS called TTN, Technology Transfer Network. This BBS, in Durham, NC, is reached on (919) 541-5742 and the system operator on (919) 541-5384. A part of this BBS called SCRAM, Support Center for Regulatory Air Models, contains model FORTRAN codes, model executable codes for use on personal computers, meteorological data, and in some cases model user s guides. Much of the information is downloaded in "packed" form, and software to unpack the files must also be downloaded from the bulletin board. 

The confluence of sharply rising Operations and Maintenance (O M) costs. NRC requested Individual Plant Examinations (IPEs) and increased personal computer capabilities gave rise to the R R Workstation. Its uses and maintains-current PSA models and databases for individual plants to perform O M planning and scheduling, and uses the PSA in IPE models to identify plant design, procedure and operational vulnerabilities. The Risk and Reliability Workstation Alliance was organized by EPRI to support the R R Workshop in order to achieve O M cost reduction, plant productivity and safety enhancement through risk-based, user-friendly, windowed software louls (Table 3.6 8). The Alliance, initiated in 1992, includes 25 U.S. utilities and four international partners from Spain, France, Korea, and Mexico. SAIC is the prime contractor for the R R Workstation, with participation of five other PSA vendors. 

This workbook contains over 200 problems that will allow you to build and refine your understanding of chemistry from the molecule s eye view . This is achieved by basing every problem on a set of molecular models that you view and manipulate on your own personal computer. We believe that this combination of problems-i-models will improve your understanding of molecular structure and the relationship between molecular structure and other properties. More importantly, we believe that when you do the problems in this workbook you will gain a much better grasp of the conceptual basis of organic chemistry, and that this will make the rest of your study of organic chemistry more satisfactory and ultimately more successful. 

Ethylene was polymerized with 2.5 pmol catalysts in toluene / CH2CI2 for 30 min. at different temperatures and 5 psig ethylene pressure. Polymerization rate was determined fitim the rate of consumption, measured by a hotwire flow meter (model 5850 D ftom Brooks Instrument Div.) connected to a personal computer throu an A/D converter. Polymaization was quenched by the addition of methanol containing HCl (5 v/v %). The polymar was washed with an excess amount of methanol and dried undw vacuum at 50 C.
