Simulation , viii

This completes the outline of FAMUSAMM. The algorithm has been implemented in the MD simulation program EGO VIII [48] in a sequential and a parallelized version the latter has been implemented and tested on a number of distributed memory parallel computers, e.g., IBM SP2, Cray T3E, Parsytec CC and ethernet-linked workstation clusters running PVM or MPI.

More advanced methods for extending the length of molecular dynamics simulations are discussed in Section VIII. 

The calculated conversions presented in Table VIII used Eq. (57). They are quite remarkable. They reproduce experimental trends of lower conversion and higher peak bed temperature as the S02 content in the feed increases. Bunimovich et al. (1995) compared simulated and experimental conversion and peak bed temperature data for full-scale commercial plants and large-scale pilot plants using the model given in Table IX and the steady-state kinetic model [Eq. (57)]. Although the time-average plant performance was predicted closely, limiting cycle period predicted by the... 

There are many other S02 simulation using the models described in Tables IX and X or their further simplifications (Boreskov and Matros, 1984 Matros, 1989 Bunimovich etal., 1990 Sapundzhiev etal., 1990 Snyder and Subramanian, 1993 Xiao and Yuan, 1994, 1996 Zhang et al. 1995 Wu et al., 1996). These simulations are capable of reproducing operating data as demonstrated in Table VIII and in the preceding discussion. They have been useful in understanding the application of periodic flow reversal to S02 oxidation, as we shall see.

The program scheme PCS) we shall construct in Example VIII-6 has an extra test T which does not appear in S and which we assume to be an n+2-way test with possible outcomes 0,l,...,n, for some new symbol such a test could be simulated by binary tests in the standard way. Scheme P(S) has variables x, u, v, and z. Register z holds the eventual output and register x is input and program variable. The registers u and v are special program variables which simulate the pushdown store of a pushdown store machine implementing the computations of S. ...

Computed results from this model are compared to actual kiln performance in Table VI and the operating conditions taken from kiln samples are given in Table VII. There are no unit factors or adjustable parameters in this model. As with the explicit model, all kinetic data are determined from laboratory experiments. Values of the frequency factors and activation energies are given in Table VIII. Diffusivity values are also included. The amount of fast coke was determined from Eq. (49). With the exception of the T-B (5/12) survey, the agreement between observed and computed values of CO, CO2, and O2 is very good considering that there are no adjustable parameters used to fit the model to each kiln. In the kiln survey T-212/10, the CO conversion activity of the catalyst has been considerably deactivated and a different frequency factor was used in this simulation.

Some structural results of the QMCF MD simulations of the hydrated neutral molecules in an elementary box containing 1000 water molecules are collected in Table VII, and Table VIII summarizes dynamical data from these simulations. The data selected for this presentation are all focused on water coordination and hydrogen bonding. 

Wang et al. (1058) have recently measured OH radical concentrations in a simulated smog chamber by the laser induced fluorescence of OH. The OH concentrations in the chamber range from 0.5 to 1.5 x I07 molec cm"3. In view of the difficulties involved in the absolute determination of OH radicals at such low levels, the uncertainty must be larger than 50%. Table VIII-1A summarizes the ambient concentrations of reactive species and their rate constants with hydrocarbons and NO in polluted air. 

It is apparent from (VIII- 18a) that a rapid conversion of NO to N02 is needed for the buildup of O, concentration levels. It was recognized that the conversion rate of NO to N02, observed in the real atmosphere, was several hundred times as fast as the rate of the reaction 2NO + 02 — 2NOz in the range of NO concentrations of 0.05 to 0.5 ppm. Furthermore, in simulated smog chamber experiments it was found that the rate of butene consumption by illumination of a NO- N02-H20-butene mixture in air was much faster than that calculated on the basis of reactions of O(3P) atoms and 02 with butene. Apparently a new mechanism based on radical chain reactions was needed to explain these observations. Two groups of scientists, Heicklen and coworkers and Weinstock and coworkers, were the first to propose independently the following sequence of reactions in 1970. 

The simulated distillation data (Table V and Figures 2, 4, 6) and the FIA analyses of the distillates (Table II) were obtained by standard ASTM methods D2887 and D1319, respectively. The mass spectrometric analyses (MS) of the saturates fractions (Table VI) were obtained by an in-house method similar to that of Hood and O Neal (44). The aromatic fractions were analyzed by the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method of Clutter et al. (45), and the results are reported in Tables VII and VIII. 

Computational studies starting with collagen triple-helix structures now available in the Protein Data Bank are becoming increasingly important for collagen. As described above, molecular dynamics simulations can suggest models that are amenable to experimental verification. Computational analyses and molecular dynamics studies have also been carried out on Gly substitutions in the triple helix (see Section VIII below).
