Stationary points of the functional [c] should be calculated through variation of the coefficients c. Kohn s variational principle requires the wave function on dS to remain fixed during the variation, 6fa = 0. In view of Eq. (27), this means that variation of the Ck is subject to the additional condition Y.k Tak Sck — 0. The standard way to solve a variational problem with constraints is to use undetermined Lagrange multipliers [234]. A technical realization of this method, which we do not describe here, is given in Ref. 60. Using it, one obtains a compact expression for a set of coefficients c which render [c] stationary, namely... 

Figure 4.15. Kinetics of the adsorption process of a gasmixture (CO2, CH4) with equilibrium sorptive gas concentrations (yco2 20 %mol, = 80 %mol). The upper curve (Am) indicates the total absolute mass, cp. (2.31), of CH4 and CO2 adsorbed as function of time. Data have been taken from the microbalance recordings. The lower curves show the time variation of the pressure and the temperature of the sorptive gas mixture inside the adsorption vessel. As can be seen adsorption equilibrium is approached asymptotically and realized - in technical terms - after approximately 4 hours.
