    Notes: Poly(propylene) has been oxidized at temperatures between 240 and 289°C. The products were GC separated and on-line identified by an interfaced GC peak identification system. The major products are CO2, H2O, acetaldehyde, acetone, butanal, formaldehyde, methanol and other ketones and aldehydes. Most of the products can be accounted for by well-known reactions of alkoxyl and peroxyl radicals; the major products are derived from the secondary alkoxy and peroxy species. Oxygen starvation is manifested in diffusion limited products of olefins and dienes, and the increase of CO2 and H2O formation in pure oxygen atmosphere. The first order rate constant at 240°C is 2,4·10-3 S-1 with an overall activation energy of ca. 16 kcal·mol-1 (67 kJ·mol-1). If one assumes the oxidative pyrolysis to share the same reaction pathways as autoxidation at lower temperatures, then the observed rate constants and activation energy may be calculated from kinetic parameters measured earlier for autoxidation of poly(propylene) from 71 to 140°C. Good agreement was obtained implying a similarity of oxidative degradation of the polymers spanning a large temperature range.

    Notes: In this paper we describe a new class of locally refined macro finite elements which are especially amenable to the use of substructuring techniques for the efficient solution of the resulting idealization. The tools and guidelines illustrated by the examples of modelling crack tips, point load singularities and singularities at re-entrant corners should enable an analyst to construct other such blended macro elements specifically tailored to his particular class of problems. The use of such substructured macro elements in finite element calculations permits substantial reduction in the manual effort of data preparation and the computational cost of numerical solution.

    Notes: A common method for numerically approximating two-point parabolic boundary value problems of the form ut = L[u]+f(u) defined of the semi-infinite strip S = [0, 1]×[0, ∞] is to first discretize the spatial operator in the differential equation and then solve for the time evolution. Such an approach typically involves solving a system of algebriaic equations at a sequence of time steps. In this paper we take a different approach and subdivide S into a collection of semi-infinite substrips Si = [xi, xi+1]×[0, ∞], and use blending function techniques to derive finite parameter functions ei(x, t) defined on Si. Spectral matching methods are used in deriving ei to ensure that (u - ei) can be made small on Si. Galerkin's method, with associated integration sover the entire space-time domain S, is then used to generate approximations to u(x, t) based upon the so defined infinite element (ei, Si). Approximations are hence found for all (x, t) in S by solving one well structed system of algebraic equations. We apply the method to several linear and non-linear problms.

    Notes: Recently developed computer aided design systems for the design and modification of complex physical solids using interactive computer graphics offer the exciting possibility of an integrated design/analysis system. Called geometric modellers, these systems build complex solids from primitive solids (cubes, cylinders, spheres, etc.) and macro solids (combinations of primitives). To provide an effective finite element analysis capability for these systems, methods must be devised to ease the burden of discretizing the solid geometry into a user controlled finite element mesh. In this paper we describe a new class of transitional blended finite elements which make substantially simpler the task of finite element mesh generation and local mesh refinement. Computational experience indicates that numerical accuracy is not compromised by use of these flexible elements.

    Notes: A perturbation chromatography apparatus has been designed and constructed for determining the vapor-liquid equilibrium between a two-component (solvent/helium) vapor phase and a two-component (polymer/solvent) liquid phase. The apparatus performed very well, giving reproducible and reliable results that agree with independent, previously reported studies. All tests of the equipment indicated that it was successful in meeting the conditions of low column pressure drop, small perturbations, and slow flow rate that are required for perturbation chromatography. Binary polymer/solvent data were obtained for polybutadiene (PBD)/benzene or polybutadiene/cyclohexane systems at solvent partial pressures to 40 kPa and for n-hexane at infinite dilution, all at the three temperatures of 333.15, 355.00, and 373.15 K. The experimental data for each system can be represented within experimental error by the Flory-Huggins polymer solution theory using a single binary interaction parameter that is independent of temperature and concentration.

    Notes: The glucose oxidase and catalase activities immobilized to the γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane derivative of nickel-impregnated silica alumina was controlled by several factors. The most important of these was enzyme concentration. In constructing the dual immobilized enzyme catalyst, competition between the two enzymes for available binding sites was observed. The order of addition of the various reactants during immobilization was also important. Higher glucose oxidase activities were immobilized when glutaraldehyde was added concurrently with the enzyme, while maximal coupling of catalase occurred if glutaraldehyde was first added to react with the amino derivative of the silica alumina support, excess reagent washed away, and then the catalase added. Bovine serum albumin, which aids in the crosslinking of glucose oxidase, hindered the coupling of the enzyme to the support particles.

    Notes: A detailed mathematical model of a single catalyst pellet has been developed to describe its behavior under transient conditions encountered during the warmup period of automobile exhaust catalytic converters. In contrast to the converter models previously reported in the literature, this model is capable of describing the time-dependent behavior of a composite catalyst pellet, and thus provides a convenient means of examining the effects of poison penetration and various noble metal impregnation strategies in the activity-time (rather than activity-temperature) domain.Extensive calculations were carried out to investigate the effects of various catalyst design parameters and converter operating conditions on the lightoff behavior of a spherical, platinum-alumina catalyst pellet. Due to the complex kinetics of the CO and hydrocarbon oxidation reactions, catalyst lightoff was found to exhibit interesting behavior with respect to variations of the system's design parameters and operating conditions. Graphs are presented to illustrate the parameteric sensitivity of these effects.

    Notes: Correlations producing thermodynamic property tables employ the concepts of scaling with increasing frequency in the vapor-liquid critical region. One of the important concepts is that the vapor pressure equation should provide infinite curvature and finite slope ψc at the critical point. The vapor pressure critical exponent θ describes the divergent curvature in a power law expression.This paper provides an extensive study of θ. We have determined an optimal value of θ by two general approaches: a curve fit method (CFM) which employs least-squares analyses, and a numerical derivative method (NDM). The CFM is interpolative but requires a vapor pressure equation, while the NDM is extrapolative but is independent of the vapor pressure equation.The vapor pressure equations, which satisfy scaling concepts most closely, exhibit a very flat minima for the CFM. As a result, the values of θ which provide reasonable correlations vary over an appreciable range (depending upon the compound, form of the equation, and the temperature range). The NDM did not present any particular difficulties. Our overall weighted average for θ is 0.199 with a standard deviation of 0.052, while the overall numerical average was 0.225 with a standard deviation of 0.045; the final recommended value of θ is 0.22 ± 0.04.
