Poly internal coordinates

A statistical description of multiphase flow might be developed based on an analogy to the Boltzmann theory of gases [11, 39, 60,63, 66, 91, 125,135]. The fundamental variable is the particle distribution function with an appropriate choice of internal coordinates relevant for the particular problem in question. Most of the multiphase flow modeling work performed so far has focused on isothermal, non-reactive mono-disperse mixtures. However, in chemical reactor engineering the industrial interest lies in multiphase reactive flow systems that include poly-dispersed mixtures of multiple particle types, with their associated effects of mixing, segregation and heat and mass transfer. 

Compounds of known composition but uncertain polymeric structure can be conveniently named by selecting a suitable subunit and prefixing poly to the compositional coordination name of the subunit. Bridging and other bonding notations are not generally employed, unless limited bonding and specific structural detail is known about the internal structure of the polymer subunit. The poly prefix is not italicized and the name of the subunit given after poly is enclosed in square brackets. For examples see Table 23.
