Sum formulas

If n is not a positive integer, the sum formula no longer apphes and an infinite series results for (a + by. The coefficients are obtained from the first formulas in this case.

The zeroth moment (n=0) gives the total intensity and is related to theory by familiar sum formulae (Chapter 5). For nearly classical systems (i.e., massive pairs at high temperature and not too high frequencies), the first moment (n=l) is very small and actually drops to zero in the classical limit as we will see in Chapter 5. The ratio of second and zeroth moment defines some average frequency squared and may be considered a mean spectral width squared. A complete set of moments (n = 0, 1,... 00) may be considered equivalent to the knowledge of the spectral line shape,... 

Isotope substitution will have four principal effects of interest here but, apart from these, isotopic spectra should have the same total intensities (zeroth-order sum formulae are not mass dependent). Specifically, one would expect that... 

The theory of collision-induced absorption developed by van Kranendonk and coworkers [405] and other authors [288, 289, 81, 126, 125] has emphasized spectral moments (sum formulae) of low order. These are given in closed form by relatively simple expressions which are readily evaluated. Moments can also be obtained from spectroscopic measurements by integrations over the profile so that theory and measurement may be compared. A high degree of understanding of the observations could thus be achieved at a fundamental level. Moments characterize spectral profiles in important ways. The zeroth and first moments, for example, represent in essence total intensity and mean width, the most striking parameters of a spectral profile. 

A few results of quantum moment calculations for dissimilar rare gas pairs are shown in Tables 5.1, 5.2 and 3.1, and will be discussed below. The classical fourth binary moment was also reported [79], Table 5.1 compares quantum, semi-classical and classical calculations based on sum formulae (Eqs. 5.37, 5.38, 5.39) with moments obtained by integration of computed line shapes for the He-Ar system at 295 K. 

Table 5.1. Comparison of binary spectral moments calculated from classical (C.), semi-classical (S.) and quantum (Q.) calculations, based on line shapes (.LS) and sum formulae (.SF), for He-Ar at 295 K. Moments computed from the classical line shape after desymmetrization procedures P-2 and P-4 (scaled) had been applied are also shown. Computations are based on the ab initio dipole, Table 4.3, and an advanced potential [12].

H2-H2 rototranslational spectra. For the significant A1A2AL induction components, Table 4.11, values of the various spectral functions have been computed at frequencies from 0 to 1800 cm-1 and for temperatures from 40 to 300 K, Fig. 6.3 [282]. As a test of these line shape computations, the zeroth, first and second spectral moments have been computed in two independent ways by integration of the spectral functions with respect to frequency, Eq. 3.4, and also from the quantum sum formulae, Eqs. 6.13, 6.16, and 6.21. Agreement of the numerical results within 0.3% is observed for the 0223, 2023 components, and 1% for the other less important components. This agreement indicates that the line shape computations are as accurate as numerical tests with varying grid widths, etc., have indicated, namely about 1% see Table 6.2 as an example (p. 293).

Scheme 2.4.1 Operating principle of HTC. Under temperature and catalysis, carbohydrates (here glucose) are converted to biocoal and water only. The sum formula of biocoal is a simplification and a matter of the reaction conditions.

Figure 2.4.3 Comparison of different renewable energy pathways and carbon transfer schemes from carbohydrates, as well as their typical conditions. Here, preservation of combustion energy and the carbon efficiency (CE) of the transformation are compared. The combustion energy always concerns the complete side of the reaction equation. The sum formula of the coalified plant material is a schematic simplification.

The empirical formula, or sum formula, of a chemical compound expresses its composition. For example C2H4O2 indicates that the molecule consists of two carbon, four hydrogen and two oxygen atoms. This formulation, however, provides no information on the... 

The fundamental relationships dealing with continuous interest compounding can be divided into two general categories (1) those that involve instantaneous or lump-sum payments, such as a required initial investment or a future payment that must be made at a given time, and (2) those that involve continuous payments or continuous cash flow, such as construction costs distributed evenly over a construction period or regular income that flows constantly into an overall operation. Equation (12) is a typical example of a lump-sum formula, while Eqs. (23) and (25) are typical of continuous-cash-flow formulas. 

It should be noted that the parts of branches drawn by broken lines indicate noncontributing parts that make unphysical contributions, and they can be removed by the proper treatment of the Stokes phenomenon. After such a procedure, we can sum up all the contributions from the physically legal parts of the branches in the -set. We find the probabilistic weights of the branches together with the total probability obtained by the sum formula [Eq. (6)] in Fig. 5c. In Fig. 5d, the tunneling probability obtained by the sum formula is... 

Spectral moments [as in Eqn. (5)] of the depolarized CILS spectra can be determined from measurements. These are related to the anisotropy (and the interaction potential) by well-known sum formulas [326]. If a suitable analytical function with a few adjustable parameters is adopted, such as the DID model [near Eqn. (1)], supplemented by some exponential overlap term, empirical anisotropy models can be obtained that are consistent with the... 

The ratio of second and zeroth moment, M2/M0, defines some average squared width of the spectrum. Spectral moments are related to the induction operator and interaction potential by well-known sum formulas [200, 215, 235, 292, 318, 319, 326, 350, 351, 422] that permit a comparison of the measurements with the fundamental theory [196,208,209,293,296, 307,316, 335, 357]. 

Lineshape calculations have a reputation of being involved, and the required computer codes are not widely available. It has, therefore, always been thought worthwhile to consider sum formulas (spectral moments) that are mueh more straightforward to compute, especially the elassical expressions, which can be readily corrected to the order for quantum effects. Expressions for the even spectral moments n = 0, 2, 4, and 6 are known. 

Quantum sum formulas based on exact pair distribution functions (obtained in the isotropic potential approximation) are also known for n = 0,1,2, and 3 [318,319] we mention also unpublished work by J. D. Poll. Levine has given detailed estimates based on classical moments, assessing the bound dimer contributions [302]. 

Molecular formulas can be used as additional search criteria. Either complete formulas — similar to sum formula identity search — or partial formulas and atomic ranges can be specified, such as C5-8H8-1202.
