Similarity, continued respects

Table 2.1-1 compares the ordinary algebra of continuous variables with the Boolean algebra of 1 s and Os. This table uses the symbols and -h for the operations of intersection (AND) and union (OR) which mathematicians represent by n and u respectively. The symbols and -f which are the symbols of multiplication and addition, are used because of the similarity of their use to AND and OR in logic. 

The kinetic models for the gas phase polymerization of propylene in semibatch and continuous backmix reactors are based on the respective proven models for hexane slurry polymerization ( ). They are also very similar to the models for bulk polymerization. The primary difference between them lies in the substitution of the appropriate gas phase correlations and parameters for those pertaining to the liquid phase.
