Special configurations

In Chapter 2 we discussed three special configurations for tracing reaction paths the dump, flow-through, and flush models. These models are special cases of mass transfer that can be implemented within the mathematical framework developed in this chapter. 

In the dump configuration, the model discards the masses of any minerals present 

The model then swaps aqueous species Aj into the basis locations Ak held by the mineral components. The technique for swapping the basis is explained in Chapter 5, and a method for selecting an appropriate species Aj to include in the basis is described in Chapter 4. When the procedure is complete, the equilibrium system contains only the original fluid. 

In the flow-through model, any mineral mass present at the end of a reaction step is sequestered from the equilibrium system to avoid back-reaction. At the end of each step, the model eliminates the mineral mass (including any sorbed species) from the equilibrium system, keeping track of the total amount removed. To do so, it applies Equation 13.11 for each mineral component and sets each nk to a vanishingly small number. It is best to avoid setting nk to exactly zero in order to maintain the mineral entries Ak in the basis. The model then updates the system composition according to Equations 13.5-13.7 and takes another reaction step. 

In a flush model, reactant fluid displaces existing fluid from the equilibrium system. It is simplest to implement this model by determining the mass of water entering the system over a step and eliminating an equal mass of water component and the solutes it contains from the system. In this case, we ignore any density differences between the fluids. 

In the dump configuration, the model discards the masses of any minerals present in the initial equilibrium system before beginning to trace the reaction path. To do so, the model updates the total composition to reflect the absence of minerals

Distillation appHcations can be characterized by the type of materials separated, such as petroleum appHcations, gas separations, electrolyte separations, etc. These appHcations have specific characteristics in terms of the way or the correlations by which the physical properties are deterrnined or estimated the special configurations of the process equipment such as having side strippers, multiple product withdrawals, and internal pump arounds the presence of reactions or two Hquid phases etc. Various distillation programs can model these special characteristics of the appHcations to varying degrees and with more or less accuracy and efficiency. 

It is possible to measure equilibrium constants and heats of reaction in the gas phase by using mass spectrometers of special configuration. With proton-transfer reactions, for example, the equilibrium constant can be determined by measuring the ratio of two reactant species competing for protons.

Another concern is the ability of a ship to operate in storms. The pounding of waves on the hull increases the resistance this can cause structural damage, and the violent ship motions can harm the passengers, cargo, and crew of the ship. Some designers have proposed special configurations that can maintain the ship speed in storms.

One can define three special configurations of two vectors, namely parallel in the same direction, parallel in opposite directions, and orthogonal (or perpendicular). The three special configurations depend on the angular distances between the two vectors, being 0, 180 and 90 degrees respectively (Fig. 29.3).

TIRF is easy to set up on a conventional upright or inverted microscope with a laser light source or, in a special configuration, with a conventional arc source. TIRF is completely compatible with standard epi-fluorescence, bright-field, dark-field, or phase contrast illumination so that these methods of illumination can be switched back and forth readily. Some practical optical arrangements for observing TIRF through a microscope are described in Section 7.4.

Analytichem International has taken trace enrichment a step further with the development of the Analytichem Automated Sample Preparation LC Module, A ASP LCM. This unit uses derivatized silica in specially configured cassettes on which the sample is off-line enriched by using an inexpensive vacuum manifold. After enrichment, the cassette is placed in the unit, which holds up to 10 cassettes containing 10 samples each, and the enriched samples are eluted directly on the analytical column. Provisions allow for early- and late-eluting bands to be switched to waste. The unit also provides for external control of...

Anticipating the final conclusion that matter and energy are special configurations of space-time, the investigation starts with the topic of relativity, the only theory that has a direct bearing on the topology of space-time and which demonstrates the equivalence of energy and matter and a reciprocal relationship between matter and the curvature of space.
