Practical applications of modeling

As a last note we underline that, while it is easy to see that nonequUibrium effects have to be taken into account in the presence of fast changes in the electronic distribution of the solute, or of an oscillating external field (as that exploited to measure molecular optical properties), nonequilibrixun approaches for nuclear vibrational analyses are still open. 

In this section we will present some examples of how to determine properties of pure liquids by means of the previously-shown computational procedures. In spite of the fact that most literature in this field is concerned with the study of the properties of water, we will rather focus the attention on the determination of the properties of a few organic solvents of common use (for a review of studies on water, we address interested readers to the already quoted paper of Floris and Tani). Obviously, the following discussion cannot be considered as a complete review of all the literature in the field, but it is rather intended to give the reader a few suggestions on how the previously-shown computational methodologies can be used to obtain data about the most usual properties of pure liquids. 

From what we said in the previous section, it should be clear to the reader that contin-uxun models cannot properly be used in order to determine liquid properties they are in fact concerned in the treatment of a solute in a solvent, and so not of direct use for the study of the solvent properties. For this reason, we will present in the following some examples concerning the application of integral equations and computer simulations. 

The analysis will be limited to the examination of the most usual static and dynamic properties of liquids. 

Let us begin the discussion by considering a couple of examples regarding the calculation of the dielectric constant of pure liquids.

The understanding of retention and selectivity behaviour in reversed-phase HPLC in order to control and predict chromatographic properties ai e interesting for both academic scientists and manufacturers. A number of retention and selectivity models are the subject of ongoing debate. The theoretical understanding of retention and selectivity, however, still lags behind the practical application of RP HPLC. In fact, many users of RP HPLC techniques very often select stationary phases and other experimental conditions by experience and intuition rather than by objective criteria.

The use of even the very simple models for isothermal operation described in Section IV,B requires a substantial amount of information regarding the elementary iate processes occurring in a gas-liquid-particle operation, as discussed in Section IV,A. While a considerable amount of information of this kind is available in the chemical engineering literature, it is widely scattered. It will be attempted in this section to present a comprehensive review of this information in order to facilitate its use. It is hoped that this review will be of value not only to those chemical engineers directly interested in the practical applications of gas-liquid-particle operations, but also, by pointing to the several areas characterized by very limited information, to those interested in research in this field. 

This map has been checked by many researchers, indicating that it is applicable to a wide range of conditions. Also shown in Figure 3.4 are correlations derived by Mishima and Ishii (1984), which used similar basic principles except for the slug-to-churn transition. These authors pointed out that, in view of the practical applications of the separate-fluid model to transient analysis, flow regime criteria based on the superficial velocities of the liquid and gas may not be consistent with the separate-flow model formulation. A direct geometric parameter such as the...
