TP approximation

The path through the particle is random and tortuous. The correction factor for z, the tortuosity, Tp, approximately equals the ratio z jz, but has also to consider dead end pores. Typical values for the tortuosity are in the range 2-7 for 0.3 < p < 0.7 as depicted in Figure 3.2.28 by values and correlations given inthehterature. 

As in previous developments, the Crank-Nicholson (CN, also known as the trapezoidal or TP approximation to the time derivative) approach allows for the replacement of the time derivatives in terms of the solution values as ...

Next we turn our attention to Tp. Equation (3.91) is messy enough for us to accept a certain degree of approximation if some simplification results. For small X, sin X = x therefore... 

It should be observed that Eq. (3.102) may be viewed as a distribution function for relaxation times. In fact, if N,. is large enougli, integer increments in p may be approximated as continuous p values. This makes Tp continuous also. The significance of this is that Eq.(3.90) can be written as an integral in analogy with (3.62) if p is continuous ... 

The first term on the right side of Eq. (5-179) is so nearly dominant for most furnaces that consideration of the main features of chamber performance is clarified by ignoring the loss terms and Lr or by assuming that they and have a constant mean value. The relation of a modified chamber efficiency T g(1 o) lo modified firing density D/(l — and to the normahzed sink temperature T = T-[/Tp is shown in Fig. 5-23, which is based on Eq. (5-178), with the radiative and convective transfer terms (GSi)/ja(TG — T ) -i- hiAijTc Ti) replaced by a combined radiation/conduction term (GS,) ,a(T - T ). where (GS])/ = (GS])/ + /jiA]/4oTgi Tg is adequately approximated by the arithmetic mean of Tg and T. ... 

Isocratic Elution In the simplest case, feed with concentration cf is apphed to the column for a time tp followed by the pure carrier fluid. Under trace conditions, for a hnear isotherm with external mass-transfer control, the linear driving force approximation or reaction kinetics (see Table 16-12), solution of Eq. (16-146) gives the following expression for the dimensionless solute concentration at the column outlet ... 

Physically the cutting-corner trajectory implies that the particle crosses the barrier suddenly on the time scale of the slow -vibration period. In the literature this approximation is usually called sudden , frozen bath and fast flip approximation, or large curvature case. In the opposite case of small curvature (also called adiabatic and slow flip approximation), coj/coo < sin tp, which is relevant for transfer of fairly heavy masses, the MEP may be taken to a good accuracy to be the reaction path. 

The allowable misalignment toleranee for the vertieal tie rod, tp = 1.5 , is also eonsidered to be normally distributed in praetiee. With the assumption that approximately 6 standard deviations are eovering this range, the standard deviation beeomes = 0.5 . The mean of the angle on whieh the prineipal plane lies is /i, and the loads must be resolved for this angle, but its standard deviation is the statistieal sum of cr and as given by equation 4.103 ... 

Figure 3.13 shows the thermal stability of immobilized ODN and PNA. The signal for the Thy- and Cyt-bases obtained with temperature-programmed (TP) SIMS starts to decrease at approximately 150 °C for ODN and 200 °C for PNA. This variance is caused by the different strengths of binding between the bases and the sugar-phosphate and peptide backbones, respectively.

If tp(r) is the basic Hartree-Fock function or molecular orbital for H2, the total wave function may be approximated by a single determinant ... 

It is interesting, for comparison, to apply the Flory approximation, parallel to Eq. 2, to a curved geometry. As an example, consider a star polymer with f arms and radius R. The segment volume fraction within the star can be written, tp ss fNa3/R3, so that FjtU/kT per arm can be written as v(fN)2 a3/fR3, giving rise to a total free energy per arm ... 

The induction of anaerobic treatment synthesis occurs in two phases. During the first few hours of anaerobic treatment there is a transition period during which there is a rapid increase in the synthesis of a class of polypeptides with an approximate molecular weight of 33 kDa (Fig. 3). These have, been referred to as the transition polypeptides (TPs) as they represent most of the protein synthesis occurring in early anaerobiosis. 

After approximately 90 min of anoxia, the induced synthesis of an additional group of c. 20 polypeptides is first detected. This group of 20 anaerobic polypeptides (ANPs) represents more than 70% of the total labelled amino acid incorporation after five hours of anaerobiosis (Fig. 3). By this time the synthesis of the TPs is at a minimal level however, these polypeptides accumulate to a high level during early anaerobiosis and have been shown by pulse-chase experiments to be very stable. The synthesis of... 

The frequency bandwidth, in Hz, of a weak, selective pulse is approximately given by Av— 1/Tp, where Tp is the pulse duration in ms.

In order to be able to evaluate data with a reasonable number of parameters, the mode analysis assumes, as a first approximation, that the exponential correlation of the correlations [Eq. (18)] is maintained, and only the relaxation rates 1/tp are allowed to depend on a general form on the mode index... 

In the ideal case they are equidistantly spaced on the ordinate. In reality they may increasingly move closer because real shape correlation functions are flattening as a function of r. A significant crystallite size value (tp) has only then been determined from this approximative plot, if r [Pg.128]
