Second Key Problem

We proceed now to the second key problem. In view of the foregoing discussion, the axial conduction will be excluded from the beginning.  

Reconsider the control volume used for the first key problem. Since the axial conduction is neglected and the peripheral flux is specified, there is no need for any particular law. We now have a thermodynamically determined problem. The first law applied to the control volume shown in Fig. 2.41 directly gives the governing equation subject to the inlet boundary condition. The formulation is then 

The separation of variables followed by a simple integration readily yields the solution of Eq. (2.161) as 

Water pressurized to 2 atm (abs) Bows steadily with inlet velocity V = 0.05 m/s and inlet temperature Tt = 20 °C in an industrial evaporator made of a 1 inch (nominal) diameter and 20 m long insulated pipe (Ftg. 2.43). The pipe is heated electrically. We wish to determine the power need for which the water evaporates completely at the exit of the pipe and the fraction of pipe length at which the water begins to evaporate. 

We being the electrical power input. Clearly, this power is related to the peripheral heat flux q and the rate of energy generation per unit volume as

A second key problem is to devise means to separate the tubes from the soot and metal particles, either chemically or mechanically. This is an essential step towards manipulation and thorough characterization of these materials. Recently, it was reported that a significant fraction of the metal particles could be removed from the sample by vacuum annealing it at... 

In addition to the somatic side-effects of neuroleptics, there are a number of important psychiatric side-effects, such as demotivation or indifference (a direct effect of most drugs, actually part of the definition of the neuroleptic effect). This may mimic the negative features of the illness and may lead to prescriptions of an antidepressant when a reduction in dose or change of antipsychotic may be more appropriate. A second key problem is anxious activation or akathisia. This dose-dependent dysphoric state may lead to an apparent worsening in the clinical picture and accordingly an increase in antipsychotic dose rather than decrease and may be so intolerable as to lead on to suicide.

The second aspect refers to the protein nature of enzymes. In 1894 Fischer (Fischer, 1909) stated that amongst the agents which serve the living cell the proteins are the most important. He was convinced that enzymes are proteins. The role of this key problem may be illustrated with a citation from Fruton (1979) ... the peptide theory was indeed only a hypothesis fifty years after Franz Hofmeister and Emil Fischer advanced it... (in 1902). The nature and stracture of proteins remained unknown throughout the 19th century remarkably, technological applications were nevertheless put into practice since the middle of the century (see above), based on their action, eventually recognized as catalysis, only. 

The main problem here is how to parameterize these relationships to achieve the requisite precision. The second concerns the key problem of database conformity to the model. In this case, the task lies in adapting the spatiotemporal scale to the database. The third concerns the user s ability to run the SSMAE in the scenario space. 

The 48Ca+248Cm system has recently been reinvestigated at Dubna [103], now with positive evidence for the formation of 292116 (see Ch. 1). The half-lives in the postulated decay chain - milliseconds to seconds - fall into the region covered in Figure 11. But the production cross section is two orders of magnitude below the level reached in the previous studies. If these results can further be substantiated, they would give a hint why so many attempts to make superheavy elements by complete fusion failed. Over the years, the question was Is production the problem or is it survival - nuclear reaction or nuclear stability Are the cross sections too low or the half-lives too short These recent results would point to the production as the key problem. 

Eqn (2.92) is the culmination of our efforts to compute the displacements due to an arbitrary distribution of body forces. Although this result will be of paramount importance in coming chapters, it is also important to acknowledge its limitations. First, we have assumed that the medium of interest is isotropic. Further refinements are necessary to recast this result in a form that is appropriate for anisotropic elastic solids. A detailed accounting of the anisotropic results is spelled out in Bacon et al. (1979). The second key limitation of our result is the fact that it was founded upon the assumption that the body of interest is infinite in extent. On the other hand, there are a variety of problems in which we will be interested in the presence of defects near surfaces and for which the half-space Green function will be needed. Yet another problem with our analysis is the assumption that the elastic constants... 

The increasing power of high-speed computation has had a major impact on theoretical materials science and has permitted the systematic examination of this connection between structure and properties. In this textbook, Rob Phillips examines the various methods that have been used in the study of crystals, defects and microstructures and that have made such computations possible. The author presents many of the key general principles used in the modeling of materials, and punctuates the text with real case studies drawn from recent research. A second key theme is the presentation of recent efforts that have been developed to treat problems involving either multiple spatial or temporal scales simultaneously. 

A mere 50 years ago computers were cumbersome. By the 1990s, they were powerful enough to be used in routine medical image analysis, and by 2000, IBM was announcing the construction of a powerful new class of supercomputer, Blue Gene, intended to overcome key problems in molecular medicine by running at petaflop speed of 1,000,000,000,000,000 or 1015 mathematical calculations per second. Another IBM machine, also with molecular and medical applications, recently broke that barrier first (see Chapter 10). 

The second corresponds to our key problem for the flat plate (of thickness l). Because of the symmetry with respect to the middle plane, each surface of the plate transfers one-half of the energy generated within the plate, that is,... 

A key problem is the evaluation of the relevance of observed seismicity patterns. First, it is important to decide whether an observed pattern has a physical origin or is an artifact, arising for example from inhomogeneous reporting or from man-made seismicity, like quarry blasts or explosions. Second, the non-artifical events have to be analyzed with respect to their underlying mechanisms. This leads to an inverse problem with a nonunique solution, which can be illustrated for the most pronounced observed seismicity pattern, the occurrence of aftershocks. It is empirically known... 

The mechanisms of crystal phase formation are a key problem in materials science that has not clear comprehension still now. At present, the study of this problem is especially important in connection with the development of nanostructured materials. There are two different approaches to consideration of crystal nucleation/growth as well as crystal melting/dissolution processes [1,2], In accordance with the first approach based on the atomic-molecular theory, the individual atoms or molecules take the leading part in these processes (the role of clusters is ignored). In accordance with the second approach based on the cluster theory, these processes are carried out mainly by means of clusters. Till recently the atomic-molecular theory was generally accepted. However, today many scientific data vote for the cluster theory. The aim of this paper is to analyze the main statements of the cluster conception of crystal phase formation and as a result to consider the nature of nanocrystal. 

As can be seen, two bands at 102 and 73 cm" arise. However, a reliable interpretation of this spectrum is quite difficult. The key problem in interpreting far-infrared spectra of silicon-rich zeolites such as ZSM-5 is connected with the fact that, due to the low cation concentration, structural information about cation sites are so far rather scarce. Under the mentioned conditions it would certainly be a substantial progress if the vibrational assignment in the far-infrared region could be assisted by other suitable cation-sensitive techniques which provide additional information. One way, as chosen in Ref. [363], is to start from X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) giving access to the local environment of the cations and their coordination spheres. For the dehydrated Ba-ZSM-5 sample a six-fold oxygen coordination at a distance of 2.75 A was obtained for Ba " ions by EXAFS analysis of the XAS spectrum. In a second step, positions in the unit cell of ZSM-5, which fulfill these criteria, were searched by computer simulation... 

Nearly all speech analysis is concerned with a three key problems. FirsL we wish to remove the influence of phase second, we wish to perform source/filter separation, so that we can study the spectral envelope of sounds independent of the source that they are spoken with. Finally we often wish to transform these spectral envelopes and source signals into other representations, that are coded more efficiently, have certain robustness properties, or which more clearly show the linguistic information we require.
