Uter simulation

Packings and Flooding As pointed out above, optimized mass and heat balances have been derived from a combination of experimental results with a con uter simulation of the process. The optimized balances can be used for the layout of a production plant A multi-purpose plant should be able not only to produce samples, but also to determine scaleup parameters. The scaleup parameters depend on the type of packing and its specific flooding point The ability to measure flooding points or to test different packings is restricted mainly by the range of flow rates. 

The structural model proposed, and the con5)uter-simulated images generated from it, are shown in Fig. 5. Because the cation-cation distances for edge-sharing WOe octahedra are less than the point resolution of the instrument at the optimum focus of Figs. 1 and 2, it was necessary to go beyond this point of focus and image the cations with reversed contrast, as shown in Fig. The simulated... 

PND studies of zeolites ccmtaining sorbed hydrocarbons can yield information that is invaluable in interpreting studies of hydrcx arbon dynamics and validating cc iq)uter simulations. Zeolite-hydrocarbcm conqrlexes studied include benzene, relatively low loading levels, in zeolites L [78], Na-Y [96], and in ZSM-5 [97]. Para-xylene has been successfully located (in the now familiar ctq)ping geometry above a site II cation) in a partially Yb-exchanged zeolite Y [98].

Second, in addition to die new eiqierimental measurement capabilities, con uter hardware is now sufficiendy advanced (speed and memory cqiacity) such that accurate predictions, even first principle, are enabled for the number of atoms incorporated in a nanostructure (see Table I). Accurate predictions for carbon nanotubes were made years before eiqierimental measurements could confirm their validity. Modeling and simulation will play a leading role in the race toward nanotechnology. 

Until the advent of methods to implement quantum theory, appropriate algorithms, and modem conq>uters, this remained a vision rather than a reality. Today, many calculations achieve experimental accuracy (14), but the roles of theory, modeling and simulation for materials research and development are broader than sixnply reproducing or challenging experimental measurements. These roles include ...
