These results indicate that, as n increases, (yij) , the bottom product composition, tends to zero (relation (7.1.86a)). Although as n increases (yij-) increases, relation (7.1.85a) suggests that (yij-) = yiT)n-i- It system, the ratio (yi7-) /(yi does not tend to infinity, as suggested by (7.1.87) for large n-, instead, mass-transfer rate limitations between the phases and axial diffusion limit the possible enrichment (Pigford et ah, 1969a). Figure 7.1.19 compares the predictions from this equilibrium theory with the experimental data on an n-heptane-toluene separation... 

The capillary pressure can be related to the height of the interface above the level at which the capillary pressure is zero (called the free water level) by using the hydrostatic pressure equation. Assuming the pressure at the free water level is PI ... 

The temperature at which 2(7) is zero is the Boyle temperature Jg. The excess Hehuholtz free energy follows from the tlrenuodynamic relation... 

The solution detennines c(r) inside the hard core from which g(r) outside this core is obtained via the Omstein-Zemike relation. For hard spheres, the approximation is identical to tire PY approximation. Analytic solutions have been obtained for hard spheres, charged hard spheres, dipolar hard spheres and for particles interacting witli the Yukawa potential. The MS approximation for point charges (charged hard spheres in the limit of zero size) yields the Debye-Fluckel limiting law distribution fiinction. 

Perturbation theory is also used to calculate free energy differences between distinct systems by computer simulation. This computational alchemy is accomplished by the use of a switching parameter X, ranging from zero to one, that transfonns tire Hamiltonian of one system to the other. The linear relation... 

A related phenomenon with electric dipoles is ferroelectricity where there is long-range ordermg (nonzero values of the polarization P even at zero electric field E) below a second-order transition at a kind of critical temperature. 

The integral under the heat capacity curve is an energy (or enthalpy as the case may be) and is more or less independent of the details of the model. The quasi-chemical treatment improved the heat capacity curve, making it sharper and narrower than the mean-field result, but it still remained finite at the critical point. Further improvements were made by Bethe with a second approximation, and by Kirkwood (1938). Figure A2.5.21 compares the various theoretical calculations [6]. These modifications lead to somewhat lower values of the critical temperature, which could be related to a flattening of the coexistence curve. Moreover, and perhaps more important, they show that a short-range order persists to higher temperatures, as it must because of the preference for unlike pairs the excess heat capacity shows a discontinuity, but it does not drop to zero as mean-field theories predict. Unfortunately these improvements are still analytic and in the vicinity of the critical point still yield a parabolic coexistence curve and a finite heat capacity just as the mean-field treatments do. 

There are tliree steps in the calculation first, solve the frill nonlinear set of hydrodynamic equations in the steady state, where the time derivatives of all quantities are zero second, linearize about the steady-state solutions third, postulate a non-equilibrium ensemble through a generalized fluctuation dissipation relation. 

In the Smoluchowski limit, one usually assumes that the Stokes-Einstein relation (Dq//r7)a = C holds, which fonns the basis of taking the solvent viscosity as a measure for the zero-frequency friction coefficient appearing in Kramers expressions. Here C is a constant whose exact value depends on the type of boundary conditions used in deriving Stokes law. It follows that the diffiision coefficient ratio is given by ...

Aq becomes asymptotically a g/ g, i.e., the steepest descent fomuila with a step length 1/a. The augmented Hessian method is closely related to eigenvector (mode) following, discussed in section B3.5.5.2. The main difference between rational fiinction and tmst radius optimizations is that, in the latter, the level shift is applied only if the calculated step exceeds a threshold, while in the fonuer it is imposed smoothly and is automatically reduced to zero as convergence is approached. 

Coherent states and diverse semiclassical approximations to molecular wavepackets are essentially dependent on the relative phases between the wave components. Due to the need to keep this chapter to a reasonable size, we can mention here only a sample of original works (e.g., [202-205]) and some summaries [206-208]. In these, the reader will come across the Maslov index [209], which we pause to mention here, since it links up in a natural way to the modulus-phase relations described in Section III and with the phase-fiacing method in Section IV. The Maslov index relates to the phase acquired when the semiclassical wave function haverses a zero (or a singularity, if there be one) and it (and, particularly, its sign) is the consequence of the analytic behavior of the wave function in the complex time plane. 

The sign alternatives depend on the location of the zeros (or singulai ities) of x i). The above conjugate, or reciprocal, relations aie the main results in this section. When Eqs. (9) and (10) hold, ln x(f) and argx(t) are Hilbert transforms [245,246]. 

We shall now concentrate on several cases where relations equations (18) and (19) simplify. The most favorable case is where lnhalf-plane, (say) in the lower half, so that In <() (t) =0. Then one obtains reciprocal relations between observable amplitude moduli and phases as in Eqs. (9) and (10), with the upper sign holding. Solutions of the Schiddinger equation are expected to be regular in the lower half of the complex t plane (which corresponds to positive temperatures), but singularities of ln4>(f) can still aiise from zeros of <(>( ). We turn now to the location of these zeros. 

Phases and moduli in the superposition are connected through reciprocal integral relations. (4) Systematic treatment of zeros and singularities of component amplitudes are feasible by a phase tracing method. (5) The molecular...
