Using the Integral Method

The integral method of analysis can be used when the available data are in the form of concentration (or fractional conversion) versus time or space time (or V/Fao or W/Fao)-As pointed out earlier in this chapter, this kind of data are obtained when an ideal batch reactor or an ideal plug-flow reactor is used. For these two reactors, use of the integral method avoids the need for numerical or graphical differentiation. 

The appropriate design equation is integrated to generate a relationship between concentration (or conversion) and time (or space time). 

If the equation fits the data, the values of the slope and the intercept are used to estimate the unknown parameters in the rate equation.

The combination of (2) and (3) is referred to as a pseudo-first-order situation. H20 is present in great excess, but if it were not, its concentration change would likely affect the rate. We then use the integral method of Section 3.4.1.1.2 in conjunction with equation 3.4-11 to test assumption (3). 

There they will be examined individually using the integral methods and automatically moved on. Specimens found to be leaking will be shunted to the side. 

Differentiation of the experimental concentration-time curve would then need interpolation or smoothing, e.g.,by using splines. Parallelization in a typical robotic environment is easy when using the integral method with a few or even only one single well for characterization of one enzyme variant.

Even though the fluid motion is the result of density variations, these variations are quite small, and a satisfactory solution to the problem may be obtained by assuming incompressible flow, that is, p = constant. To effect a solution of the equation of motion, we use the integral method of analysis similar to that used in the forced-convection problem of Chap. 5. Detailed boundary-layer analyses have been presented in Refs. 13, 27, and 32.

Mathematica also provides us with the differential equation solver DSolve, which can be employed for this problem. When we do this we do not have to work quite as much as we did using the integration methods. The solution looks as follows ... 

Por the computation we have used the integral method using cubic spline and the combined gradient method of Levenberg-Marquardt [57, 58]. The kinetic models chosen describe well the hydrogenation kinetics. In the formulas presented in Table 3.1 k is the kinetic parameter of the reaction and Q takes into account the coordination (adsorption) of the product (LN) and substrate (DHL) with the catalyst (the ratio of the adsorption-desoprtion equilibrium constants for LN and DHL). Parameters of the Arrhenius equation, apparent activation energy kj mol , and frequency factor k, have been determined from the data on activities at different temperatures. The frequency factor is derived from the ordinate intercept of the Arrhenius dependence and provides a measure of the number of collisions or active centers on the surface of catalytic nanoparticles. 

The regression is garmaUy nonlinear and in the second case the computations are even more complicated because the equation is implicit in x. Peterson and Lajndus [42] used the integral method with nonlinear regression on Franckaerts and Froment s data and found excellent agreement, as shown by Table 2.3.C-1. A further illustration of such agreement is based on Hosten and Froment s data on the isomerization of n-pentane [38] as analyzed by Froment and Mezaki [43],...

This is the scheme of a polymerization reaction by addition of radicals. Although this system is complex and usually solved by numerical methods, the general solution using the integral method will be shown here. This is the easiest way to identify the kinetic parameters involved and indicate a general solving method for complex reactions of this type, although the numerical solution is more appropriate. We should start from a batch system (constant volume), whose equations for the rates of reactants and products are described as follows ...

The above reduced boundary layer problem [(5.6a,b,c), (5.7a,b,c,d)l remains a complicated boundary value problem. This problem is, in fact, very similar to problem (4.14a,b,c)), but it is formulated for a two-dimensional free-falling vertical film. When M = 0 (in this case the thermal field is decoupled to dynamical one), Shkadov (1967), using the integral method have reduced the problem to a system of two averaged equations for H(t, x) and q(T , x), to use the self-similarity assumption of the horizontal velocity component u.
