Two-Mass Problem

Interna] Coil or Jacket Plus External Heat Exchanger This case can be most simply handled by treating it as two separate problems. M is divided into two separate masses Mi and (M — Mi), and the appropriate equations given earlier are apphed to each part of the system. Time 0, of course, must be the same for both parts. 

Problem 12,2 Two mass spectra are shown in Figure 12.7. One spectrum is that of 2-methyl-I 2-pentene the other is of 2-hexene. Which is which Explain. 

High performance liquid chromatography is an effective technique for the separation of compounds of high molecular weight. There are, however, two major problems with the use of mass spectrometry for the study of this type of molecule... 

Using on-line mass spectroscopy [65] carbon dioxide and formic acid were demonstrated as soluble products of methanol oxidation. The former gives the most intense MS signal according to the fact that it is the main product. There are two main problems to detect formic acid as such. In the presence of carbon dioxide most of the m/e signals of HCOOH overlap with signals of the major product. Besides this, in the presence of methanol, formic acid reacts to form the methyl ester ... 

The mass is the same, no matter whether we focus on the atoms or molecules. (Compare the mass of 1 dozen pairs of socks rolled together and that of the same socks unpaired. Would the two masses differ If so, which would be greater See Problem 4.33.)... 

Ca = 0.000031, and Ca = 0.001824. The high relative abundance of °Ca (a result of its mass number A, which is a multiple of 4 and thus exceptionally stable cf section 11.3) is one of the two main problems encountered in this sort of dating (in Ca-rich samples, the relative enrichment in °Ca resulting from °K decay is low with respect to bulk abundance). The other problem is isotopic fractionation of calcium during petrogenesis (and also during analysis see for this purpose Russell et al., 1978). These two problems prevent extensive application of the K-Ca method, which requires extreme analytical precision. The isochron equation involves normalization to the Ca abundance... 

The amount of stuff to be handled leads to the two main problems in any large scale production of S3mthetic fuels, first the size and hence the cost of the equipment and second, the environmental problems associated with the mass flows. 

Corrections which depend on the mass ratio m/M of the light and heavy particles reflect a deviation from the theory with an infinitely heavy nucleus. Corrections to the energy levels which depend on m/M and Za are called recoil corrections. They describe contributions to the energy levels which cannot be taken into account with the help of the reduced mass factor. The presence of these corrections signals that we are dealing with a truly two-body problem, rather than with a one-body problem. 

The jellium model of the free-electron gas can account for the increased abundance of alkali metal clusters of a certain size which are observed in mass spectroscopy experiments. This occurrence of so-called magic numbers is related directly to the electronic shell structure of the atomic clusters. Rather than solving the Schrodinger equation self-consistently for jellium clusters, we first consider the two simpler problems of a free-electron gas that is confined either within a sphere of radius, R, or within a cubic box of edge length, L (cf. problem 28 of Sutton (1993)). This corresponds to imposing hard-wall boundary conditions on the electrons, namely... 

Some of the most prominent spectral interferences can be resolved with a resolution from 4000 up to 10000, depending on the analytical problem. It can be tempting to calculate the resolution necessary to resolve two masses based only on their exact masses and the specified resolving power of the instrument. However, the resolution required will depend on the relative magnitude of the spectral overlap and analyte ion signals. For example, to resolve the overlap of Cl" and H Ar", a resolution of 3900 would be sufficient when considering the exact masses alone. However, as can be seen in Figure 1.10, a resolution of 10000 is needed to provide baseline resolution of the two peaks (because the H Ar ion is much more intense). 

The coupling of two mass spectrometer systems has received attention in recent years. This system can be operated in an atmospheric pressure mode by passing the air matrix directly into the ionization source (II). This method minimizes sample contamination and degradation problems. Detection limits are compound-dependent and can vary over more than an order of magnitude for different families of hydrocarbons. For example, an aromatic hydrocarbon such as toluene cannot be detected at levels below 5 ppbv, whereas most aldehydes are detectable at levels as low as 50 pptrv. The tandem MS-MS system has the potential to be a useful detection system for organic compounds that do not store well in collection containers. 

Scaling as a Means to Compare Similar Systems. When the diffusion problem is invariant to the scaling parameter rj = x/s/ADt, equal values of t] can be used to determine relationships between length, time, and the value of the diffusivity. For example, consider two masses that differ only in their length dimension. Let the first block have length L and the second block have length aL. If at a time, r, a particular concentration appears at the center of the first block, the same concentration will appear in the second block at time a2r. 

The dynamics of the two-particle problem can be separated into center-of-mass motion and relative motion with the reduced mass /i = morn s/(rnp + me), of the two particles. The kinetic energy of the relative motion is a conserved quantity. The outcome of the elastic collision is described by the deflection angle of the trajectory, and this is the main quantity to be determined in the following. The deflection angle, X, gives the deviation from the incident straight line trajectory due to attractive and repulsive forces. Thus, x is the angle between the final and initial directions of the relative velocity vector for the two particles. 

Only a few modifications of the algorithm were required to make it applicable to absorption and reboiled absorption. The changes were mainly in the handling of the enthalpy and total mass balance equations to accommodate different specification combinations involving the reflux, heat duties, and top and bottom product flow rates. The results of two example problems, one each for absorption and reboiled absorption, are shown in Table II. 

The basic two-electron problem to be solved is illustrated in Fig. 1. A nucleus of charge Z is located at the origin, and the two electrons have position vectors ri and r2 with an angle 6 between them. The distance between the two electrons is ri2 = ri —r21 - Assuming (for the moment) infinite nuclear mass, the Hamiltonian is (in atomic units)... 

The correct answer is (A). When you see two masses in a stoichiometry problem, you should be alerted that you are dealing with a limiting reactant problem. This problem will have two stages—the first is to determine the limiting reactant, and the second to determine the mass of the hydrogen gas. Before we do anything, we need to see the balanced equation for the reaction ... 

The fabrication of composite laminates having a thermosetting resin matrix is a complex process. It involves simultaneous heal, mass, and momentum transfer along with chemical reaction in a multiphase system with time-dependent material properties and boundary conditions. Two critical problems, which arise during production of thick structural laminates, are the occurrence of severely detrimental voids and gradients in resin concentration. In order to efficiently manufacture quality parts, on-line control and process optimization are necessary, which in turn require a realistic model of the entire process. In this article we review current progress toward developing accurate void and resin flow portions of this overall process model. 

By referring the motion to the centre of mass, the two-body problem has been reduced to a one-body problem of the vibrational motion of a particle of mass p against a fixed point, under the restraining influence of a spring of length R with a force constant k.
