The practical system

The practical system of activities and activity coefficients is useful for solutions in which only the solvent has a mole fraction near unity all of the solutes are present in relatively small amounts. For such a system we use the rational system for the solvent and the practical system for the solutes. As the concentration of solutes becomes very small, the behavior of any real solution approaches that of the ideal dilute solution. Using a subscript j to identify the solutes, then in the ideal dilute solution (Section 14.11) 

The identification of gj(T, p) with defines the practical system of activities the practical 

Equations (16.17) and (16.18) show that In yj is a measure of the departure of a solute from its behavior in an ideal dilute solution. Finally, as nij - 0, the solute must behave in the ideal dilute yay so that 

It follows that Uj = nij as nij = 0. Thus, for the chemical potential of a solute in the practical system, we have 

The pf is the chemical potential the solute would have in a 1 molal solution if that solution behaved according to the ideal dilute rule. This standard state is called the ideal solution of unit molality. It is a hypothetical state of a system. According to Eq. (16.20) the practical activity measures the chemical potential of the substance relative to the chemical potential in this hypothetical ideal solution of unit molality. Equation (16.20) is applicable to either volatile or in volatile solutes.

End views of the quadrupole assembly (a) showing the theoretically desired cross-section and (b) illustrating the practical system. In (b), a positive potential, +(U + Vcoscot), is applied to two opposed rods (A) and a negative potential, -(U + Vcoscot), to the other two (B). The dotted lines indicate planes of zero electric field. The dimension (r) is typically about 5 mm with rod diameters of 12 mm. The x- and y-axes are indicated, with the z-axis being perpendicular to the plane of the paper. 

Correlation of all aspects of the test method with the practical system of interest is always important. The test used for dairy cleaning is an excellent example (116). Milk is used to tag the soil with radioactive Ca by an exchange with radioactive CaCl2. This treatment is apphed to stainless steel planchets by suspending the planchets in milk under actual pasteurizing conditions. 

A tetracoordinated complex (20)4 was actually isolated. Complex 20 in the presence of ethylene forms the coordinated complex 21, as can be seen from H NMR. Complex 21 is a model of the intermediate for the additional reaction to form C6 dienes. The model catalyst had been shown to be a codimerization catalyst under more severe conditions (high temperature), although the rate of reaction was very slow compared to the practical systems. These studies are extremely useful in demonstrating the basic steps of the codimerization reactions taking place on the Ni atom. The catalytic cycle based on these model complexes as visualized by Tolman is summarized in Scheme 7. A more complete scheme taking into consideration by-product formation can be found in Tolman (40). 

This section will broadly describe some of the practical system design strategies that are being used to minimize problems that sometimes plague all types of chemical vapor sensors such as baseline drift, inadequate sensitivity, and inadequate selectivity. While special emphasis will be given to acoustic sensors, the approaches described here are generally applicable to any vapor sensing device.

For convenience, the strength of the electric field is usually referred to merely by the term electric field. It does not have the same dimension as a force, and has, in the practical system of units, the dimension of volts per meter. 

We should note again that eq. 1.85 was developed from experiments in which direct currents were used. However, as will be shown later, the equation remains valid for quasistationary fields which are of most interest in induction logging. In the practical system of units, the magnetic field is expressed in amperes per meter.

Liquid interfaces are prevailing within the immiscible polymer blends and solutions. The effect of interfaces to polymer crystallization cannot be overlooked, not only because the practical system accumulates impurities at interfaces for heterogeneous crystal nucleation, but also because the thermodynamic conditions for crystal nucleation at interfaces are different from that in the bulk phase. The latter effect can be revealed by the theoretical phase diagrams for immiscible polymer blends, as... 

Finally, the practical system for telling everybody about the policy and monitoring its performance and effect. 

It is necessary next to develop the individual conservation equations. We continue to use the one-dimensional premixed flame as the practical system exhibiting the basic features to be modeled. The principles of extension to two or three dimensions are not difficult. For a comprehensive review the reader is referred to the standard texts in fluid dynamics, e.g., Landau and Lifshitz (1959) or Williams (1965).
