Inverse segregation

The combination of reac tor elements is facihtated by the concept of transfer functions. By this means the Laplace transform can be found for the overall model, and the residence time distribution can be found after inversion. Finally, the chemical conversion in the model can be developed with the segregation and maximum mixed models. 

Elimination of Ci and C3 from these equations will result in the desired relation between inlet Cj and outlet Co concentrations, although not in an exphcit form except for zero or first-order reactions. Alternatively, the Laplace transform could be found, inverted and used to evaluate segregated or max mixed conversions that are defined later. Inversion of a transform hke that of Fig. 23-8 is facilitated after replacing the exponential by some ratio of polynomials, a Pade approximation, as explained in books on hnear control theory. Numerical inversion is always possible. 

Ab-initio studies of surface segregation in alloys are based on the Ising-type Hamiltonian, whose parameters are the effective cluster interactions (ECI). The ECIs for alloy surfaces can be determined by various methods, e.g., by the Connolly-Williams inversion scheme , or by the generalized perturbation method (GPM) . The GPM relies on the force theorem , according to which only the band term is mapped onto the Ising Hamiltonian in the bulk case. The case of macroscopically inhomogeneous systems, like disordered surfaces is more complex. The ECIs can be determined on two levels of sophistication ...

The monolayer structures for tryptophan are consistent with one and two molecules per unit cell, respectively, for Cu(100) and Cu(l 11). The structures observed for D- and L-tryptophan are related by mirror inversion which is consistent with the symmetry relationship between the two molecules. A mixture of the optical isomers, DL-tryptophan does not form an ordered monolayer, thus there is no segregation or cooperative interaction between the different isomers. 

Figure 14 shows a plot of the Dispersion Index DI = Mw/M wersus the conversion X of the monomer for segregated flow (S) and well micromixed flow (M). The dramatic influence of segregation can be noticed at high conversion, especially with transfer to polymer. Moreover, an interesting effect is observed with diluted and slow initiators, namely an inversion of the relative position of S and M curves when the transfer constant ktp is increased.
