    Notes: Summary Formaldehyde is a reactive chemical which undergoes spontaneous reactions with various cellular constituents. Mutagenicity data may be interpreted on the background of this behavior. Mice are better able to reduce the irritating effect of formaldehyde than rats and to reduce their ventilation rate when formaldehyde acts on the respiratory tract. Subacute exposure of rats to concentrations higher than 2 ppm inhibits mucociliary clearance of the nasal epithelium and leads to progressive histological and ultrastructural lesions at this site. The occurrence of squamous cell carcinomas of the nasal epithelium of rats after 2 years inhalation of 14.3 ppm formaldehyde (CIIT study) is probably the result of chronic and recurrent local toxicity; this is supported by species differences in susceptibility to the tissue damaging and carcinogenic effect of formaldehyde (rat, mouse, hamster). Data on formaldehyde-DNA interaction further support the argument that a direct risk extrapolation from the formaldehyde effects in rats to those expected for man is not possible.

    Notes: Summary A histochemical assay was routinely performed of myoadenylate deaminase (MAD) in muscle biopsy specimens. MAD was absent in 13 cases, i.e. 2.9% of the specimens. In 10 cases the deficiency was confirmed biochemically. The diagnoses in the 13 patients were: polyneuropathy (n=5), infantile spinal muscular atrophy (n=3), congenital myopathy with type 2 fibre atrophy, facioscapulohumeral myopathy, polymyositis, myotonic dystrophy and hyperornithinaemia with gyrate atrophy of the retina. In contrast, 35 unrelated patients presenting with exercise-related muscle cramps or pains showed normal histochemical MAD activity. The biopsy specimens in all of these patients were essentially normal and in none of them was the diagnosis of a neuromuscular disease made. The results failed to confirm the association of MAD deficiency with aches, cramps and pains or exertional myalgia.

    Notes: All the present experiments confirm that there is some liquid channelling on trays. Liquid channelling is extensive on trays of large diameters. It largely depends on the tilting of the plate, modifications of the inlet weirs and on non-uniform bubble cap spacing. Consequences of liquid channelling for plate efficiency are clear; the higher the degree of liquid channelling the lower the plate efficiency. However, own experimental and theoretical investigations indicate that plate efficiency never falls below the value of point efficiency. Therefore, liquid channelling only affects the crossflow on trays. Liquid channelling reduces the mass transfer performance to a similar extent as does the backmixing of liquid. Consequently, plate efficiency is not very sensitive to liquid channelling. Since the liquid is completely mixed in the downcomer, the effects of liquid channelling are restricted to a single tray. The behaviour of tray columns completely differs from that of packed columns, where the effects of liquid channelling are cumulative over the packed height. Consequently, trays represent a suitable design for columns of large diameters.

    Notes: Although carbon dixoide is important as an abundant carbonaceous raw material, so far, its utilization in chemical processes has been rather limited. This review covers the reactions of CO2 employed in industry, such as the production of urea, the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction, the synthesis of cyclic organic carbonates and the use of CO2 in methanol synthesis. Interesting recent developments in CO2 chemistry, such as the reactions catalyzed by transition metals, are also described. Apart from the synthesis of polymers and hydrocarbons, the production of oxygen-containing substances appears to be very profitable and attractive for future industrial applications. Not only can derivatives of formic and carbonic acids be produced but also longer-chain carboxylic acids and their derivatives by reactions of carbon dioxide with hydrocarbons such as alkynes, alkenes and 1,3-dienes.

    Notes: The present contribution illustrates a way of developing a continuous separation process for near critical fluid extraction, on the example of separation of soya oil from lecithin. First, a suitable solvent was selected. Phase equilibria were measured in autoclaves. Operating conditions for a pilot plant were derived from the phase equilibrium data. The pilot plant experiments provided the necessary data for designing a production plant. Computer programs for phase equilibrium, stage to stage and mass and heat balance calculations were used in order to minimize the number of experiments. A production plant with a capacity of 500 t/a of raw lecithin was designed on the basis of experimental and computational results. A cost estimation, based on tenders, showed that it is more economical to produce lecithin by near critical fluid extraction than by conventional acetone extraction.

    Notes: Ideal flow conditions are generally assumed for the reactor design. If stoichiometry, reaction mechanism and kinetics are known, the balance equations for the ideal flow tube, the ideal steady-state continuous stirred tank reactor or the ideal, completely mixed stirred batch reactor are often applied. In many cases, formal kinetics, which forms the basis of reaction modelling, is so uncertain that the idealization of the flow field can be accepted. In practice, however, deviations from the ideally calculated conversions, yields and product qualities, often occur. In these cases, it is necessary to consider the real flow conditions. In general, a distinction is made between macroand micromixing processes.

    Notes: Using pilot-scale test plant, the interfacial area per unit volume was investigated in different gasliquid reactors, i.e. packed column, bubble column and free jet reactor. The interfacial area was studied as a function of liquid viscosity and of operating parameters. As a rule, identical test conditions were maintained in all the measurements, in order to obtain comparable results. The interfacial area was determined by chemical means using the sulphite system (a solution of sodium sulphite in water as model liquid and air as gaseous medium). The viscosity of the solution can be increased by adding carboxymethyl cellulose without significantly affecting the reaction kinetics. The addition of a surfactant to the sulphite system allowed comparative measurements at reduced surface tension. Based on a large number of measurements, the correlations of the interfacial area are expressed as power laws. The inclusion of experiments with a jet tube reactor and a stirring vessel allows an extensive comparison of all reactors. All tests were carried out with the same material system and the same method was used to determine the interfacial area per unit volume. Therefore, a comparison with respect to mass transfer is possible.

    Notes: A new measurement method for determining the local liquid-phase velocities in multiphase flows is presented. It is based on a tracer technique, using heat introduced into the flow, seemingly at random, instead of a material tracer. The input of heat pulses and measurement of temperature at an adjacent point is performed by small probes. As an intermediate result, the flow time distribution of the heat-labelled fluid elements is calculated on-line as a cross-correlation function between the pseudo-random input and the measured output signals. This calculation and the automatic control of measurements is carried out by a simple microprocessor unit. The device produced excellent results in gas-liquid flows at high gas throughputs and high liquid-phase velocities.

    Notes: Among other processes, adsorption is used for the removal of hydrogen sulphide from natural gases. Hereby, competitive adsorption of the different gas components plays an important role, e.g., that of carbon dioxide. Data of equilibrium loading and adsorption kinetics are required for the design of adsorbers, filled with molecular sieve. In order to obtain these data under the prevailing operating conditions, hydrogen sulphide was removed from gas mixtures H2S/CH4 and H2S/CO2/CH4, in a pilot plant, by adsorption on molecular sieve 5A. The equilibrium loading, the height of transfer zone, and the length of unused bed were determined from the measured breakthrough curves of H2S. With these data, the breakthrough time and the optimum process conditions were calculated for a practical example.

    Notes: The oxidation of carbon monoxide by air in a turbulent flow was investigated under experimental conditions where the rates of turbulent mixing and of chemical reaction are comparable. For this purpose, carbon monoxide was admixed into the completely burnt gas of a natural gas flame operated with excess of air. Measurements of mean values of axial velocity, temperature and volume fractions of carbon monoxide and oxygen were compared with computational simulations involving the k - ∊ turbulence model and several turbulent reaction models for the oxidation of carbon monoxide. The comparison of measurements and numerical calculations demonstrated that the k - ∊ turbulence model is suitable for prediction of the turbulent flow field in the flow system investigated. Furthermore, it could be shown that one-variable turbulent reaction models, such as the flamesheet or the eddy-break-up model, cannot explain the measured carbon monoxide volume fraction profiles. Two-variable turbulent reaction models with a probability density function closure of the source term of the transport equation for the mass fraction of the chemical species result in a better agreement between the measured and simulated volume fraction profiles, particularly in predicting the clear influence of the initial temperature on carbon monoxide volume fractions. Weighting of the kinetic rate expression for the oxidation of carbon monoxide with different presumed probability density functions yields slightly different predictions of the carbon monoxide volume fractions, reflecting the assumed different character of turbulent fluctuations.

    Notes: Distillation columns with vertical partitions can separate a feed mixture into 3 or 4 pure fractions. Compared to other column arrangements, their investment costs and energy consumption are lower. Production columns show good results and are easily controlled. Conventional distillation columns produce only 2 pure product streams at the top and at the bottom of the column. Side products are contaminated by light or heavy components, depending on the location of the side stream in the rectifying or stripping section. This disadvantage is set aside by using a distillation column with a vertical partition. The internal separation wall prevents lateral mixing of liquid and vapour in the central part of the column, forming there separate feed and outlet sections. In the presence of a vertical partition, 3 or 4 pure fractions can be obtained in a single distillation step. This is particularly advantageous when heat sensitive components are to be separated. On account of good thermodynamic properties, the energy consumption is 20 to 35% lower than that of other distillation arrangements. The control behaviour is similar or better than that of conventional distillation columns.

    Notes: The Carman-Arnell equation relates the rate of flow of a fluid through a packed bed to the pressure drop across the bed. This equation is the basis for surface area determination by permeametry. It is found that the surface area measured at sub-atmospheric pressure varies with the bed porosity, so a porosity was selected where the rate of change was at a minimum. The study suggests that, at reduced pressures, the gas flow rate is a linear function of the mean pressure.

    Notes: A 0.5 MW spray-dry scrubbing FGD pilot plant was used in the study of spray dryer performance over a wide range of operating conditions. Experimental findings were compared with a spray dryer model. During operation with large excesses of lime, the SO2 absorption was limited by gas phase diffusion. At operation with a shortage of lime, the rate limiting step was the dissolution rate of lime. In addition, the flow regime in a spray dryer can be best described as well mixed. The SO2 level in the flue gas was found to exert no direct effect on the efficiency of SO2 removal. The observed effects are attributed solely to the changes in the drying process, due to the inter-dependence of slurry composition and SO2 concentration.

    Notes: As a part of a research project on the mass transfer in liquid pulsed sieve-tray extraction columns (PSE), the diameters and hold-ups of the drops were measured: the drop size using a suction technique, with photoelectric detection, which was adapted to the special boundary conditions of the PSE; the integral hold-up by the pressure difference between the lower and upper parts of the column. Since experimental results cannot be described by known calculation formulae for the Sauter mean diameter and the hold-up, a new method of calculation was developed. It is phenomenologically based on high-speed photographs of the drop motion on a sieve tray. The mathematical-physical model allows the prediction of drop size and hold-up within certain limits, while the possible different operating regimes of the PSE, i.e. the mixer-settler and dispersion regimes can also be estimated.

    Notes: When crude oil is vacuum distilled, about 30% of the feed remain as low value residue. Hydrocracking can upgrade this residue into valuable light hydrocarbons. The hydrocracking could be optimized catalytically, if the residue were not to contain the metals vanadium and nickel that poison the catalyst. This contribution shows that continuous extraction of the residue with ethyl acetate yields a fraction with low metal content, while an asphaltene fraction with the remaining metal content is filtered off.

    Notes: A one-stage model of the formation of primary bubbles is presented in which the bubble volume is deduced from an equilibrium of buoyancy, viscosity, inertia and surface tension forces. In contrast to the two-stage model, presented by Kumar and Kuloor, it was not assumed that the drag coefficient in bubble expansion can be described by the same constants as in the steady-state bubble ascent. The constants were adapted in such a way that the introduction of an additional bubble volume was not necessary. It was demonstrated that this model describes the bubble formation in gravitational and centrifugal fields equally well and, furthermore, is also applicable to structurally viscous liquids, provided that the effective shear gradient \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \mathop {\rm \gamma }\limits^. = \frac{1}{6}({\rm \Delta \rho }gzd_{\rm B} /{\rm \eta }) $$\end{document} is calculated from the equilibrium of shearing and buoyancy forces. The model is based on the assumption of a constant volumetric flow rate during bubble formation and, for this reason, a minimum Froude number is necessary in analogy to the weeping limit for sieve plates. The normalized presentation permits simple operation. The possibility of applying the model to drop formation was confirmed by comparison of experimental values with those, predicted by the model.

    Notes: A new equipment for the measurement of virial coefficients of pure substances and binary mixtures is described. It consists of an improved modification of the set-up proposed by Eucken and Meyer in 1929. The development is based on a critical review of the existing methods particularly with respect to adsorption effects. In order to reduce the influence of adsorption on the accuracy of virial coefficients, an optimum range for gas density is recommended. The accuracy of the virial coefficients is better than 20 cm3 mol-1. The set-up was employed for the measurement of virial coefficients of acetone and hexane in the range from 352.95 to 393.85 K. The results are in excellent agreement with data published in literature. Furthermore, cross-virial coefficients of the binary system acetone/hexane were measured and interpreted.

    Notes: Fouling and/or scaling of heat transfer surfaces causes serious problems in industry. Prevention of fouling is therefore essential for technical (considerable deterioration of heat transfer) and also economic reasons (increased costs). In order to provide successful countermeasures, it is, however, necessary to obtain more detailed information on the physical, chemical and biological processes which produce fouling. Based on the already known fouling mechanisms, it is shown that a satisfactory prediction of fouling behaviour of heat exchangers is not yet possible. This contribution presents a physical model for the description of fouling, caused by sedimentation and crystallization. It is assumed that, during fouling, deposition and removal processes overlap. In order to verify the theoretical considerations, experiments were carried out on a test rig, which could also be used for field experiments. Aqueous CaSO4 solutions served as experimental liquids. A comparison of experimental and calculated fouling factors shows a satisfactory agreement.

    Notes: Based on a paper by Hein, a dimensioning program for tube-bundle heat exchangers with straight tubes and fixed tube sheets has been developed. The equipment to be dimensioned is tested at 14 critical points, with regard to permissible stresses. The optimum thickness of the tube sheet, the shell and channel are subsequently selected on the basis of economic criteria. Compared to dimensioning according to AD-data sheet, it is possible to save between 10 and 25% of production costs. With the aid of a finite-element (FE) program, complex structures such as heat exchangers can be calculated accurately. Several mesh-generation programs were written for the data input. The structure of a tube-bundle heat exchanger with straight tubes is generated with 3/D elements with only some geometrical data. An FE-calculation of a heat exchanger is explained with the aid of an example and stress analysis is presented.

    Notes: The present contribution reports on a new method for the simulation of the dispersed phase behaviour in liquid-liquid extraction columns. The fluid dynamic description is based on a mathematical model which explicitly takes into account drop transport, break-up and coalescence mechanisms, via a drop population balance along the column. Application of the model requires some simple measurements on single drops in order to determine transport and break-up laws, which are required by the model, and possibly also coalescence parameters. In this study the model is applied to pulsed sieve plate columns. The specific example considered here is based on systematic studies on the determination of break-up rates from the corresponding probabilities of break-up and the generated daughter drop size distributions by means of high-speed photography. The validity of the model was subsequently tested by comparison with some experimental results from studies on two different pulsed columns 80 and 225 mm in diameter for the water/toluene system without mass transfer. The satisfactory agreement between the results justifies the use of such a method for the description of the behaviour of liquid-liquid extraction columns in a wide range of operating conditions. Furthermore, application of the model may help to dispense with long and expensive pilot tests.

    Notes: Microbial desulphurization of coal by pyrite oxidizing enrichment cultures containing predominantly Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was performed in an air-agitated slurry reactor, 20 l in volume. A model of microbiological and chemical reactions, occurring at various points within the coal, was set up taking into account the pore structure of the coal. The influence of parameters relevant to industrial processes, such as superficial gas velocity, particle size, initial pyrite concentration, and slurry density of the coal, on the conversion of pyrite was examined. Variation of the superficial gas velocity in the range of 0.01 to 0.04 m/s confirmed that the reaction is not controlled by oxygen transfer from gaseous to liquid phase. The rate of pyrite oxidation depends mainly on the accessibility of pyrite to micro-organisms which is determined by the particle size of the coal as well as the distribution of pyrite crystals in the coal matrix. The accessibility of pyrite to the micro-organisms is described by the ratio of effective to maximum microbial activity, measured as oxygen consumption. Starting with higher initial concentration of pyrite in the coal increases the oxidation rate, according to first order kinetics. Enhanced slurry densities lead to a decrease of pyrite conversion, in spite of higher pyrite concentration. The maximum pyrite oxidation rate was measured at 15% (v/v) slurry density and 25°C as 1800 mg Spyr/kg coal per day, or 360 mg Spyr/l reactor volume per day.

    Notes: The influence of electrolytes, which are dissolved in the aqueous absorbent and do not react with nitrogen oxides, on the absorption kinetics of both these components was investigated experimentally. In addition to demineralized water, various salt solutions of different concentrations as well as sodium hydroxide solution were used as absorbents. The term H \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ H\sqrt {k_1 D} $\end{document} for N2O4 and N2O3, which is important for the design of industrial absorbers, was determined as a function of composition and concentration of the absorbents. In the case of N2O4, the chosen measuring and evaluation methods permitted a separate determination of the rate constant k of the pseudo first order reaction and of the solubility H. The diffusion coefficient D of the gas in the absorbent can be obtained only by calculation. Experimental results showed that \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$(H\sqrt {k_1 D} )\,_{{\rm N}_{\rm 2} {\rm O}_{\rm 4} } $\end{document} decreases with increasing ionic strength I, however, without a clear indication of any ion-specific effects. This decrease does not appear to be caused simply by a reduction in solubility (salting out effect), or in diffusion coefficient, but at least, to the same extent, through a decrease of the rate constant k with increasing electrolyte content in the absorbent. The measurements permitted the determination of the gas-based salting out parameter for N2O4. The investigations on the absorption of N2O3 in water and in an Na2SO4 solution showed no experimentally detectable influence of dissolved salts on \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$(H\sqrt {k_1 D} )\,_{{\rm N}_{\rm 2} {\rm O}_{\rm 3} } $\end{document}. The numerical value of \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$(H\sqrt {k_1 D} )\,_{{\rm N}_{\rm 2} {\rm O}_{\rm 3} } $\end{document} is six times that of \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$(H\sqrt {k_1 D} )\,_{{\rm N}_{\rm 2} {\rm O}_{\rm 4} } $\end{document}.

    Notes: Slurry bubble columns are widely used in biotechnology. Therefore, the effects of solid particles on fluidization characteristics, gas hold-up and volumetric liquid-side mass transfer coefficient were measured in a slurry bubble column (i.d. 0.14 m). The density and diameter of the suspended particles were similar to those applied in biotechnology with immobilized bacteria. Based on models of turbulence and of liquid circulation induced by rising gas bubbles, equations for critical gas velocity, gas hold-up and volumetric liquid-side mass transfer coefficient were obtained by dimensional analysis.

    Notes: The detailed dynamic simulation of coupled process units in chemical plants is gaining an increasing importance as a useful tool in plant engineering and operation. The outline of the program package DIVA (Dynamische Simulation verfahrenstechnischer Anlagen) which is currently under development is presented in the following. The dynamic plant equations and the corresponding Jacobian matrix are generated automatically. The full exploitation of sparse matrix techniques in combination with stiff ODE (ordinary differential equation) solvers allows an efficient solution of all the equations simultaneously. The possibilities offered by the simulator are demonstrated by the simulation of two laboratory plants.

    Notes: Spatially resolved oxygen concentration measurements were performed in premixed hydrocarbon flames by using laser induced spontaneous Raman scattering. The measurements demonstrate the performance of a relatively simple pulsed laser Raman probe for fundamental combustion studies and also for the control of the equivalence ratio in flames (best spatial resolution: 0.2 mm3; theoretical detection limit: 0.8% of O2). Comparison of the results with those obtained by a mechanical suction probe (Magnos 2 T) confirmed a good agreement. At present, control of different stoichiometric conditions is possible at a minimum O2 concentration of 1.3%.

    Notes: During the sudden unheated vessel top venting of initially saturated two-component gas/liquid mixtures, in which the gas is also extensively dissolved in the non-evaporating liquid phase, a solubility inequilibrium develops between the phases; re-equilibration can set in only after a so-called desorption delay time. Laboratory measurements of this delay time were under-taken with model mixtures of CO2 and water and viscous aqueous (Newtonian) solutions by high speed cinematography. The parameters of the experiments are relief cross-section, initial liquid level, pressure, temperature, and concentration. The shortest deley time obtained lasts approximately 75 ms. It differs substantially from the minimum boiling delay time previously measured with various refrigerants in the same test facility. The experimental results are correlated by a semi-empirical dimensionless power relationship, which includes all independent primary design variables generally availble in a physically consistent interrelationship. Reasonable extrapolations to other test conditions and aqueous two-component systems with an acceptable accuracy systems can therefore be expected.

    Notes: Correlations for pressure drop and upper capacity limit (flooding) are useful for the design of packed columns. Available correlations are based on the results of measurements made at atmospheric pressure. Extrapolation to higher pressures is not recommended. Therefore, systematic experimental investigations were carried out in a pilot plant at pressures of up to 100 bar. The experimental equipment and techniques, evaluation methods, and some characteristic experimental results are presented.

    Notes: This paper describes a pilot plant for entrainment measurements on various types of column trays. The data obtained from different trays differ by up to a factor of 10. The measurements were compared with the theoretical model of Stichlmair. The Stichlmair entrainment diagram permits a fairly accurate prediction for most types of trays if the height of the two-phase layer is known. Prediction of the height and relative liquid hold-up in this two-phase system should be modified by a term reflecting the vapour flow profile, which requires further testing. These tests should examine the effect of tray spacing, fractional free area and, in particular, the influence of different media.

    Notes: In three-phase systems, where the liquid constitutes the continuous phase, solid is the catalyst and gas represents the dispersed phase, there are decisive criteria which have to be observed in reactor design. These are e.g. the interfacial area per unit volume between gas and liquid, the volumetric mass transfer coefficient and the mass transfer coefficient. The basic aim of the present work was therefore the investigation of these parameters in relation to the main influencing parameters. Process parameters stirrer speed and superficial gas velocity were varied as well as the physical properties such as liquid viscosity, solids concentration, particle diameter and a geometrical parameter, i.e. reactor diameter. The sulphite method was employed for the determination of these values. The test results confirmed the known relationships of power consumption and superficial gas velocity. An increase in the liquid viscosity leads to a decrease in all the tested values. In most cases, suspended solid particles lead to a lowering of the test values. The influence of the tank diameter on the plots of the test values against specific power consumption turned out to be invariant so that a scale-up of geometrically similar systems can be carried out at constant power consumption, superficial gas velocity and liquid viscosity.

    Notes: Pool boiling data of multicomponent mixtures show that the heat transfer coefficients can be considerably lower than those of a corresponding pure fluid with the same physical properties as the mixture. The proposed model, which assumes maximum mass transfer resistance in the liquid boundary layer, is confirmed by the comparison between calculated and experimental data. The model allows the prediction of heat transfer coefficients in pool boiling of mixtures using only single component properties and vapour-liquid equilibrium data. Judging by experience with a number of different systems, the method should be sufficiently accurate for most practical applications.

    Notes: The development of heat resistant permeation membranes has opened up new possibilities for the conversion of fossil energy resources. In steam reforming of natural gas, such membranes even permit a direct production of hydrogen at high temperatures during the conversion of feed hydrocarbons. Further gas processing, such as required for reformer gas in existing hydrogen production processes, is not necessary. Due to continuous hydrogen discharge directly in the reformer tube, the chemical equilibrium of the occurring reactions becomes displaced towards the products, resulting in more favourable process conditions and, consequently, in improved by 36% utilization of the feed hydrocarbons. At the same time, the hydrogen yield increases by 44%. The heat required, which is provided by a high temperature reactor, is 17% in excess of that in conventional plants. It can be expected that the simplified process design will produce substantial cost advantages over the existing processes for the production of hydrogen.

    Notes: In the present paper, models are developed for the description of coalescence and splitting of bubbles in gas fluidized beds. The distinction between slow and fast bubbles, which originates from the Davidson model of gas flow in and around a rising bubble, was found to be decisive for the modelling of coalescence processes. On the basis of the respective models, it is shown that a change in bed temperature does influence the mechanisms of both bubble coalescence and splitting. In cases of both slow and fast bubbles undergoing splitting, the theory predicts a decrease of bubble size with temperature whereas in the case of a non-splitting system with fast bubbles, typically encountered with Geldart type B particles, no significant temperature effect on bubble size is expected. The theoretical predictions are shown to be in agreement with own measurements as well as with the results of other workers.

    Notes: Pressure pulsations in hydraulic systems, generated by reciprocating pumps, can cause serious problems with regard to plant safety and reliability. In particular, fatigue problems arise in high-pressure piping systems. The available knowledge is not sufficient for an accurate computation of pressure peaks in the piping of reciprocating pumps. A number of calculation models are available which, however, neglect both fluid compressibility and friction. This contribution presents a calculation method which allows a precise modelling of various pump installations. Comparison of calculated and experimental data shows a good agreement and provides a validation of the computational model.

    Notes: In the separation of gaseous mixtures by gas permeation, it is in some cases impossible to achieve the desired product quality in a single stage and, therefore, several stages may be necessary. Multistage processes can be implemented by membrane modules arranged in the form of a cascade or by a membrane column design. On the basis of an economic analysis, this paper discusses different possible module arrangements for 2 cases, i.e. the enrichment of oxygen from air and the separation of methane from biogas. Present calculations indicate that, in the first case, two-stage cascades with or without recycle and, in the second case, one-stage cascade without recycle constitute the optimum module arrangements. However, depending on the selling price of the methane enriched gas, one- or two-stage cascades with recycle have to be considered. Finally, It was shown that, in the permeation of non-ideal gases, the Joule-Thomson effect has to be taken into account.

    Notes: Fundamental investigations of coalescence processes in settlers with plate packages for the separation of liquid-liquid dispersions prompted an analysis of the drop motion on the interface of a stratified two-phase flow. Therefore, a physical model was developed, which permits the calculation of drop velocity along the interface of an inclined trickling film. Starting from a balance of forces around a single particle, the model provides the equation of motion for a steady motion of single particles in a stratified two-phase flow. Several assumptions and considerations were necessary to solve this equation, such as taking into account the influence of the wall and of flow resistance. The model calculation assumes Newtonian liquids and laminar, smooth trickling films. A comparison with experimental results confirms that the drop motion behaviour is well reproduced.

    Notes: The kinetics of extraction processes with chemical reaction was studied experimentally on the system copper/Acorga PT 5050 and quantified according to meaningful kinetic models. These were coupled with other models describing the behaviour of dispersions in columns in order to permit a computer aided simultation of reactive extraction. Thus, a better prediction of column performance is achieved.

    Notes: Existing heat exchanger design criteria do not satisfy the continually increasing requirements for greater efficiency or mass flux and energy throughput. Occasionally, failures appear even after only a few hours of operation, as shown in section 3. A long series of experiments, often carried out on original scale, did lead to the derivation of a large number of empirical expressions; however, physical explanations of the complex tube-failure interactions could not as yet be found. In contrast, experiments with a well defined simple model, whereby the tube deflections were recorded digitally and, at the same time, tube-fluid interactions were registered on a high-speed film, show that elementary “fluid transport mechanisms” control the stability behaviour of the heat exchanger tubes. Vibration excitation mechanisms such as “galloping”, “jet switching” and “whirling” (fluid elastic coupling) proved, with their characteristics, as typical for the vibration behaviour of single rows within the tube array, but not for the vibration phenomena of tube bundles.

    Notes: The conversion of a number of alcohols, ethers, ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters, and cyclic compounds and their mixtures on H-ZSM-5 at 673 K was investigated. These compounds can be easily converted to aromatic hydrocarbons if the C/H ratio of the molecule fragment, remaining after elimination of oxygen as water, is less than 0.62. At higher C/H ratios, coking of the catalyst increases, thus reducing its lifetime, a difficulty which can be overcome by hydrogenation of these compounds prior to their conversion over H-ZSM-5. A procedure is proposed for converting at least a part of organic waste chemicals to valuable products instead of burning them.

    Notes: An experimental study of the flow of phosphate mine tailings was carried out in order to characterize these suspensions of fine particles for pipeline transport. Rheological measurements with a rotating cylinder viscometer indicate a viscoplastic behaviour which can be represented by a Herschell-Bulkley or by a Casson model. The variation of the parameters of these models with solids concentration reveals a change in the behaviour at a concentration of 10 to 15%. The pressure drops were measured during flow in capillary tubes, in both laminar and turbulent regimes. The variation of the pressure drop coefficient (Fanning friction factor) as a function of the generalized Reynolds number confirms the validity of the employed rheological models. The results are in good agreement with measurements made in pipes of industrial size. The velocity profiles measured with a novel ultrasonic velocimeter demonstrate the influence of the rheological behaviour on the yield and wall stresses.

    Notes: The aim of this investigation is to show the demarcation of two possible mechanisms for surface deposition of fine particles on the rear surface of single spheres. By means of single particle trajectory computation, based on numerically determined flow fields (Remax = 103), it is shown that the mere existence of a wake is not in itself sufficient to produce eddy deposition. In addition, the particle's motion must undergo a lateral transfer promoted by fluid trubulence, in order to effect eddy deposition commencing at a Reynolds number of about 100. On the other hand, rear deposition, influenced by electrostatic forces, especially by the Coulomb force, is possible at any Reynolds number. Consequently, for Reynolds numbers of less than 100, only electrostatic effects can produce rear surface deposition. In the range of high Reynolds numbers, the coexistence of both mechanisms is possible. Very high Reynolds numbers (Re 〉 103) and low Stokes numbers indicated the predominance of the electrostatic effect over eddy deposition, whereas at very high Reynolds numbers and medium to high Stokes numbers the electrostatic effect is only predominant in presence of high electrostatic charges.

    Notes: A simplified reactor model can be used for predicting the performance of an industrial VGO-treater. Laboratory-scale experiments performed on the same feed and catalyst as those in the industrial unit lead to a reactor simulation which agrees well with the data from this unit. In the laboratory experiments, it is possible to overcome the specific hydrodynamic problems of tricklebed reactors by appllying the catalyst dilution technique. Results obtained by this technique allowed the development of a reactor model which enables the user to simulate the adiabatic behaviour of the industrial reactor. In this way, the significant gap between the reaction temperature in the isothermal laboratory reactor and the WABT of the industrial adiabatic reactor can be bridged.

    Notes: The rate behaviour of multi-step reaction systems is difficult to model. Concentration-controlled investigations in a recycle reactor provide new tools for this purpose, e.g. the possibility to decompose a network into single reaction steps. Methanation of carbon monoxide over a supported Ni catalyst could be shown to be accompanied to a considerable extent by the shift reaction, and to a lesser extent by direct hydrogenation of carbon dioxide. Deactivation of the catalyst was measured at definite gas compositions. The two main steps show different responses to deactivation: Separable kinetics was found only for the methanation step. Power law rate equations were fitted to the rate data of the individual reaction steps to represent the main features of their kinetic behaviour. Some aspects of deactivation kinetics are also discussed.

    Notes: This contribution presents the measurements of bubble behaviour in presence of A, B and D powders in a semi-industrial scale pressurized fluidized bed. Local measurements were taken at static pressures of 0.2, 1.0 and 2.5 MPa, using capacitance probes. Quartz sand with mean particle diameter of 157 μm was fluidized in small “two-dimensional” transparent equipment with Frigen R 115. In addition, pressure fluctuations in the bulk of the fluidized bed with inner diameter of 0.4 m were studied experimentally.

    Notes: Correlation flowmeters have been used in the scientific field for many years and are actually gaining greater commercial importance due to an increasing number of applications in industrial plants. The importance of the correlation method is based on the fact that essentially no alternatives exist for measuring velocity and mass flow rate in pneumatic conveyors. However, the hitherto employed transit time correlation method leads to results which are clouded by uncertainties. The commonly used theoretical model of the measurement process does not explain these effects satisfactorily. Therefore, the theory of non-intrusive flow sensors is reinvestigated from a physical standpoint. The derived model permits a discussion of the transit time correlation method in some detail. Furthermore, this model leads to an alternative sensor arrangement and signal processing scheme which makes it possible to measure the true mean velocities. Examples of experimental results are given.

    Notes: For the simulation of steady- and non-steady-state behaiour of separation columns, a simulation program was developed and employed for the calculation and optimization of methanol-water separation. The demand for increasingly higher purities and energy-saving optimization of plants results in complex column configurations and thus in complex control schemes. The number of possible control schemes was reduced on the basis of heuristic rules. By simulating the process, the optimum control and manipulative variables and measuring points were determined from the reduced number of control concepts. A control scheme was introduced. The model was verified by simulation of the dynamic behaviour of the process. The investigation included the effects of computing technique, time interval, model reduction and tray hold-up on the results. Thus, various effects and interactions were verified theoretically with respect to the robustness of the model. This was followed by a simulation of the non-ontrolled and controlled column. By implementing the controllers in the existing column program, the computer can predict the control parameters. These parameters were checked and corrected when the metahnol-ater column was put in operation. In the start-up phase, major problems were caused by the sensitivity and failure rate of density, throughput and pump measuring sensors. Feed impurities were another source of problems. Operation with high product purities is possible, with a side stream to discharge impurities.

    Notes: Phase equilibria in the n-hexadecane-water-hydrogen and n-hexadecane-benzene-water-hydrogen systems were determined experimentally at temperatures between 200 and 350°C and pressures between 100 and 300 bar. At high water concentrations, three-phase equilibria were observed. Two-phase regions could be correlated with a modified Redlich-Kwong equation of state. The influence of interaction parameters on the calculated miscibility gaps was investigated. On application of mean interaction parameters, it is possible to calculate phase equilibria at different pressures or temperatures with the same set of parameters. In the ternary system, the three-phase regions could be calculated from the correlated binodal curves of two-phase regions. In the quaternary system, cross-sections through the vapour-liquid miscibility gap could be successfully correlated.

    Notes: In the extraction literature, no attention has been given so far to differential calculation models for countercurrent extraction columns which take into account the changes in flow rates of the phases as a result of transferred mass, and which also reflect the variations in interfacial area per unit volume and in axial dispersion coefficients since these depend on the flow rates. The present contribution puts forward a formulation of such a model; this results in a set of non-linear differential equations with separated boundary conditions, representing the feeds at either side of the extraction column. This set of differential equations must be solved numerically. The model is illustrated by a sample calculation on the extraction of benzene with furfural. In this (realistic) example, the interfacial area per unit volume varies from bottom to top by a factor of 3. Ignoring this effect would obviously result in serious under- or overdesign.

    Notes: Starting from the assumption that the growth of desublimed layers is governed mainly by heat and mass transfer, the authors present a model based on conditions in the diffusion boundary layer and suggest that the “hoarfrost”Hereafter the term frost will be used instead of hoarfrost. density depends on only one parameter. The discussion accounts for the process determining factors, i.e. the growth rate, mass transfer and gas concentration. The theoretical relationship is confirmed by the authors' own experiments on two systems and data from literature. The relationship can be established by a few laboratory experiments and permits the calculation of frost density and of associated variables, thus facilitating the optimization of desublimator design.

    Notes: This contribution reviews the work performed mainly at Bergbau-Forschung during the past few years. First, it deals with the quantitative description of gasification kinetics, taking into account the pressure of the gasifying agent and partial pressures of product gases. Thereby, a method and quantitative data are provided for the calculation of reaction rates for uncatalyzed and potassium-catalyzed gasification, on the example of chars from high volatile bituminous coals. In addition, a method for characterization of internal surface area by oxygen chemisorption with respect to char reactivity has been improved. Progress has also been achieved in the assessment of the impact of pyrolysis conditions, especially the time-temperature profile during char formation, on its chemical activity during subsequent use.

    Notes: Previous investigations have shown that the specific energy input is the overall parameter of influence on product size during communition in agitated ball mills, from laboratory up to industrial scale. The specific energy input is the introduced energy related to the amount of comminuted material. This parameter can be used for mill scale-up. Consequently, a method had to be found of introducing power into the mill so as to obtain a given specific energy input. For this purpose, stirring tests with purely Newtonian liquids were carried out in absence of solids and hence, without comminution. Mathematical models are presented which describe the power consumption in agitated ball mills in absence of grinding beads. In addition, tests with grinding beads filling were also performed, leading to scale-up guidelines with respect to power consumption. Finally, the influence of size and material of grinding beads was investigated.

    Notes: A pressure swing adsorption process for hydrogen recovery from coke oven gases comprises the steps of adsorption at pressures above 6 bar, cocurrent and countercurrent depressurization, purging with hydrogen at ambient pressure and repressurization. The process was investigated in the cyclic mode, on a laboratory scale, using an adsorber filled with 1.3 litres of carbon molecular sieve. Based on the test results of concentrations and pressures within the adsorber during complete cycles, a pseudo-homogeneous model was developed for the adsorption step. Adsorption equilibrium parameters were determined by separate measurements, while the transport parameters were evaluated by fitting the experiments of the fixed bed adsorber. It was possible to consider the residual load, resulting from an incomplete regeneration, by the assumption of a load distribution in the inlet region of the adsorber.

    Notes: An important aspect of nuclear and chemical reactor safety is the ability to predict the maximum or critical mass flow rate from a break or leak in a pipe system. At the beginning of such a blowdown, if the stagnation condition of the fluid is subcooled or slightly saturated thermodynamic non-equilibrium exists in the downstream, e.g. the fluid becomes superheated to a degree determined by the liquid pressure. A simplified non-equilibrium model, explained in this report, is valid for rapidly decreasing pressure along the flow path. It presumes that fluid has to be superheated by an amount governed by physical principles before it starts to flash into steam. The flow is assumed to be homogeneous, i.e. the steam and liquid velocities are equal. An adiabatic flow calculation mode (Fanno lines) is employed to evaluate the critical flow rate for long pipes. The model is found to satisfactorily describe critical flow tests. Good agreement is obtained with the large scale Marviken tests as well as with small scale experiments.

    Notes: Computer programs have been developed or are under development for the IBM personal computer that enable their users to get information on atomic charges, electrostatic potentials, conformational and other properties of molecular systems containing H, C, N, O, F, Si, P, S, or Cl atoms. The zero-order wavefunction is constructed of strictly localized molecular orbitals with fixed atomic orbital coefficients. The wave function can be refined by optimizing these coefficients, i.e., considering inductive effects via a coupled set of 2 × 2 secular equations within the CNDO/2 approximation. Delocalization and exchange effects are accounted for by expanding the wavefunction on a basis of the aforementioned strictly localized orbitals, instead of conventional atomic orbitals, and solving the corresponding SCF equations. Our method has been applied to the study of large systems. We calculated the electrostatic field of the complex of β-trypsin and basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and it has been found that strong field regions more or less coincide with hydration sites. A further potential application of protein electrostatic fields is in NMR spectroscopy. We found a linear correlation between CαH or backbone NH proton chemical shifts and the protein field at the site of the corresponding proton. At last, we propose a simple method to mimic the bulk around atomic clusters modeling crystalline and amorphous silicon. Based on this method we found a linear correlation between atomic net charges and bond angle distortions in silicon clusters with 35 atoms.

    Notes: The method of Lagrangian multipliers is used to constrain torsion angles during molecular mechanics refinement for the purpose of plotting strain energy against a reaction coordinate. A complete two-dimensional analysis of the conformational interconversion from δ- to λ-[Co(ethane-1,2-diamine) (NH3)4]3+ reveals a mechanism in which the transition state geometry has an envelope conformation and an inversion barrier of 15.7 kJ mol-1. Substitution at the carbon atoms, variation of the metal-nitrogen distance, and replacement of the amine ligands with bidentate amines only slightly alters the inversion barrier. Substitution at the nitrogen atoms of the bidentate ligand increases the inversion barrier significantly to 24.6 kJ mol-1 for (N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine) [(NH3)4]3+.

    Notes: We have analyzed two approaches to reproduce the resonance expansion of the scattering matrix appropriate for the calculation of molecular resonance states. The first is based on the resonance theory of Siegert-Humblet-Rosenfeld (SHR) and the second on the Fano-Feshbach formalism. The direct method of calculating the resonance expansion characteristics, devised on the basis of the SHR theory, makes it possible to obtain the energies and partial widths (detailed decay rate constants) of resonances. The Fano-Feshbach formalism, on the other hand, elucidates the resonance state as a concept and facilitates the interpretation of calculation results. The use of computational methods is illustrated by the study of the decay of a model triatomic system and of gas-phase nucleophilic substitution reactions. Used in the latter case is the division of all degrees of freedom of the reacting system into the adiabatic and dynamic ones along with an algorithm of inclusion of the restricted dynamical treatment in the calculation of reaction rate constants.

    Notes: The present article addresses the problem of identifying the structure of a parent compound through its chemical fingerprints such as the various numbers of isomeric substitution patterns, along the lines of Kekulé when he arrived at his benzene formula. In a pioneering paper (1929), Lunn and Senior laid out the conceptual framework for the permutation group description of substitution isomerism. It remained, however, for Pólya's celebrated contribution (1937) to initiate the actual mathematical realization of their vision. Pólya supplied the tools for solving the isomer enumeration problem: given a (symmetrical) parent compound, enumerate its spectrum of substitution patterns. The converse problem, though ranked the more interesting one by Lunn & Senior, hardly received any mathematical attention. The present article offers a complete and effective solution.

    Notes: Stereochemistry deals primarily with distinctions based on rigid geometry, e.g., bond angles and lengths. But some chemical species have molecular graphs (such as knots, catenanes, and nonplanar graphs K5 and K3.3) that reside in space in a topologically nontrivial way. For such molecules there is hope of using topological methods to gain chemical information. Viewing a molecular graph as a topological object in space makes it unrealistically flexible; but if one proves that a certain graph is “topologically chiral” or that two graphs are “topological diastereomers,” then one has ruled out interconversion under any physical conditions for which the molecular graph still makes sense. In this paper, we consider several kinds of topological questions one might ask about graphs in space, methology and results available, and specific topological properties of various molecules.

    Notes: The Hartree-Fock instablities of S2N2 are reported and compared with those of S3N3- and S4N42+. These unsaturated sulfur nitrogen planar rings are π electron rich and although the symmetry adapted HF solutions are singlet stable at the experimental bond lengths they become unstable with only a very modest increase in bond length. The broken symmetry solutions for S2N3, S3N3-, and S4N42+ are of planar C2v type with one of the nitrogens stripped of its π electrons, producing a π hole.

    Notes: To study molecular decomposition pathways it is necessary to use ab initio multireference determinant-configuration interaction or MCSCF (multiconfiguration SCF) calculations. The MRD-CI (multireference double excitation-configuration interaction technique of Buenker and Peyerimhoff) calculations on the decomposition pathway of nitrobenzene were carried out using all of the occupied molecular orbitals in the region of the bond being dissociated, plus all of the virtual orbitals. An effective CI Hamiltonian was used into which were folded the effects of all of the occupied molecular orbitals from which excitations were not allowed. So far we have investigated the lowest 1A1, 3A1, 1A2, 3A2, 1B1, 3B1, 1B2, 3B2 states and are investigating the higher states. Our results show a wealth of structure in the potential energy surfaces for the various electronic states of nitrobenzene as a function of distance. A number of the states are predissociative and change dominant configuration one or more times along these potential energy surfaces.

    Notes: A recently proposed Hamiltonian approach to phenomenological chemical kinetics [T. Georgian and G.L. Findley, Int. J. Quantum Chem., Quantum Biol. Symp. 10, 331 (1983); T. Georgian, J.M. Halpin, and G.L. Findley, Int. J. Quantum Chem., Quantum Biol. Symp. 11, 347 (1984)] is applied to all consecutive first-order, single-step reactions, and to all reactions possessing one autocatalytic intermediate. The reaction Hamiltonians presented are shown to be consistent with the phenomenological rate equations and the relationship between reaction form and the form of the reaction potential is discussed. In particular, we show: (1) that the interaction between consecutive reactions manifests itself as a coupling term in the reaction potential, a term which may be eliminated via transition to “normal reaction coordinates” for the chemical system; and (2) that coupled sets of autocatalytic reactions give rise to coupling terms in the reaction Hamiltonian which are characteristic of the reaction mechanism.

    Notes: Ab initio electronic structure calculations have been carried out for the He(1S)-Li2 (X̃, 1∑g+) interaction both by the single-configuration SCF and correlated second-order MP2 methods using an extended basis set. From these calculations, an estimate of the isotropic (V0) and first two anisotropic (V2 and V4) terms of the He-Li2 potential surface has been obtained. An assessment of the leading induced-dipole-induced-dipole dispersion energy is presented from the MP2 energies. Where possible, a comparison is made with previous unpublished ab initio calculations by Staemmler and Stahl using the CEPA method.

    Notes: A variety of basis sets have been used for geometric and electronic structure studies. Electronic effects were measured using integrated spatial electron populations (ISEP). The two largest basis sets used, 6-31G* and DZ+P, give significantly different results. Use of two d-orbital sets (6-31G*[dd]) or decontraction of the 2sp shell on phosphorus has little further effect. d-Orbitals on oxygen are required for consistent electronic structure results, and d-orbitals on fluorine have a small but significant effect. Use of diffuse functions, required for anions, is not recommended with small basis sets on neutral molecules. Large negative charges (≈-1.5) on oxygen are given by all of the larger basis sets by the ISEP procedure and indicate that the PO bond in these compounds is largely semi-polar. The best simple symbolic representation of phosphine oxide is H3P+—0-, rather than H3P=0.

    Notes: Basis set expansion and correlation effects on computed hydrogen bond energies of the positive ion complexes AHn · AHn + 1+1, for AHn = NH3, OH2 and FH, have been evaluated. The addition of diffuse functions on nonhydrogen atoms is the single most important enhancement of split-valence plus polarization basis sets for computing hydrogen bond energies. Basis set enhancement effects appear to be additive in these systems. The correlation energy contribution to the stabilization energies of these complexes is significant, with the second order term being the largest term and having a stabilizing effect. The third order term is smaller and of opposite sign, while the fourth order term is smaller yet and stabilizing. As a result, computed MP4 stabilization energies are bracketed by the MP2 and MP3 energies. The overall effect of basis set enhancement is to decrease hydrogen bond energies, whereas the addition of electron correlation increases stabilization energies.

    Notes: With advances in computer architecture and software, Newton methods are becoming not only feasible for large-scale nonlinear optimization problems, but also reliable, fast and efficient. Truncated Newton methods, in particular, are emerging as a versatile subclass. In this article we present a truncated Newton algorithm specifically developed for potential energy minimization. The method is globally convergent with local quadratic convergence. Its key ingredients are: (1) approximation of the Newton direction far away from local minima, (2) solution of the Newton equation iteratively by the linear Conjugate Gradient method, and (3) preconditioning of the Newton equation by the analytic second-derivative components of the “local” chemical interactions: bond length, bond angle and torsional potentials. Relaxation of the required accuracy of the Newton search direction diverts the minimization search away from regions where the function is nonconvex and towards physically interesting regions. The preconditioning strategy significantly accelerates the iterative solution for the Newton search direction, and therefore reduces the computation time for each iteration. With algorithmic variations, the truncated Newton method can be formulated so that storage and computational requirements are comparable to those of the nonlinear Conjugate Gradient method. As the convergence rate of nonlinear Conjugate Gradient methods is linear and performance less predictable, the application of the truncated Newton code to potential energy functions is promising.

    Notes: Techniques from numerical analysis and crystallographic refinement have been combined to produce a variant of the Truncated Newton nonlinear optimization procedure. The new algorithm shows particular promise for potential energy minimization of large molecular systems. Usual implementations of Newton's method require storage space proportional to the number of atoms squared (i.e., O(N2)) and computer time of O(N3). Our suggested implementation of the Truncated Newton technique requires storage of less than O(N1.5) and CPU time of less than O(N2) for structures containing several hundred to a few thousand atoms. The algorithm exhibits quadratic convergence near the minimum and is also very tolerant of poor initial structures. A comparison with existing optimization procedures is detailed for cyclohexane, arachidonic acid, and the small protein crambin. In particular, a structure for crambin (662 atoms) has been refined to an RMS gradient of 3.6 × 10-6 kcal/mol/Å per atom on the MM2 potential energy surface. Several suggestions are made which may lead to further improvement of the new method.

    Notes: It has been found that the previous MM2 (or MMP2) description of out-of-plane deformation of aromatic rings sometimes yields distortions which are much too large. As a result, rotational barriers involving distortions of such rings may be calculated to have values which are too low. Examples are collected and discussed. An alternative formulation, which appears to significantly reduce the calculational error, is presented.

    Notes: The computer program PRODIS is used to find low energy conformations of flexible molecules by searching the potential energy surface(s) of one or more torsion angles via rigid rotation. The n-dimensional grid of energy versus torsion angles is then converted to a Boltzman probability distribution, with the probability being represented not as a function of torsion angle, but rather a distance between two atoms. These atoms are chosen by comparison with a known, active analogue in which certain atoms have previously been determined as requirements for drug activity. PRODIS produces a list of low energy conformations, their corresponding interatomic distances and the Boltzman probability for each distance ±0.125, as well as the total probability for each conformation. The user also specifies a target interatomic distance and range (usually derived from a more rigid analogue) for which PRODIS lists all conformations and their Boltzman probability that meet this distance.

    Notes: It is shown how the Lagrange Multiplier method for constrained minimization can be implemented in a molecular mechanics program using the common approximations to the full-matrix Newton-Raphson minimization. The method reduces the number of cycles to achieve convergence, and also stabilizes the refinement process. Increases in computer memory requirements are small. As an application, the conformational surface of cycloheptane is calculated.

    Notes: Myelin basic protein (MBP) is the major extrinsic protein of the myelin sheath in the central nervous system. We have examined the predicted structure of segments of MBP using the molecular mechanics program ECEPP83 developed by Scheraga and coworkers as modified by Chuman, Momany, and Schafer. We have focused upon segments containing the Pro-Pro-Pro sequence (residues 100-102), which have been predicted from standard algorithms to exist in a hairpin loop connecting anti-parallel beta-strands. Both the shorter (98-105, 99-105, and 100-105) and longer segments (87-109, 87-118, and 87-120) have been examined. These results indicate potential for a chain reversal in this region. The shorter segments have been studied by others using NMR techniques and the results are compared.

    Notes: The energetic effects of the addition of diffuse functions to molecules with second-row elements are much less dramatic than those for their first-row counterparts. Although diffuse functions on second-row elements have little effect on the geometries and vibrational frequencies of neutral molecules, significant changes are found for anions. While the largest basis set, 6-31 + G*, generally performs best, the results at 3-21 + G* are comparable, and this basis can be recommended for practical applications.

    Notes: The MNDO Hamiltonian as incorporated within MOPAC has been utilized to predict dynamics for some simple reactions. In one option, the intrinsic reaction coordinate has been followed along the path of steepest descent from the transition state backward to reactants and forward to products. In a second option, dynamics of isolated molecular systems have been calculated. In each case, the potential surface (as predicted by the MNDO Hamiltonian) is calculated in situ as the atomic trajectories are calculated from Newton's Laws of Motion. Several specific examples are given and discussed.

    Notes: The additional energy stabilization due to cooperative effects was calculated in extended hydrogen bonded systems O—H⃛O—H⃛O—H with unidirectional (homodromic) orientation of the O—H groups. Ab initio restricted Hartree Fock, MP2 and MP3 calculations with geometry optimization and BSSE correction have been performed using the GAUSSIAN 83 program package for the ground states of the linear water dimer with Cs symmetry and the cyclic water tetramer with S4 symmetry. The latter represents the smallest possible, experimentally observed cooperative structure. A new definition for a cooperativity parameter is proposed. The definition is based on the two-body, non-neighbour interaction energy, plus three- and four-body contributions, including one-body deformation terms in relation to the total interaction energy of the water tetramer. The advantage of this definition is its independence of the reference system, which is necessary in complicated molecular systems with an undefined number of hydrogen bonds, such as disordered or flip-flop systems. According to this definition the energy gain based on cooperativity in the S4 water tetramer is 29% with the MP3/6-31G** approximation, (30% with HF/4-31G* and 46% with HF/3-21G). The largest contribution of 18% is due to the three-body term on the MP3/6-31G** level, followed by the two-body, non-neighbour term with 11%. The four-body term and the deformation term are in the order of 1% and cancel each other because they have opposite sign.

    Notes: The hydrogen-hydrogen nonbonded potential which may be derived from the calculated interactions between hydrogen molecules has been obtained. The best three-parameter Buckingham function gave an RMS error of 0.18 kcal/mol in fitting Price and Stone's ab initio data for 130 pairs of hydrogen molecules, which may be compared with an RMS error of 0.74 kcal/mol using the parameters in the MM2 force field. Burton's basis set is also considered. A better fit to these data requires that the angular relationship between the bonds be included. The data for hydrogen as well as experimental data for chlorine show that these atoms appear “larger” normal to the bond axis than along the axis, and this is probably also the case for other atoms. When simple angular terms are added it is possible to fit the Price and Stone data set with an RMS error of less than 0.06 kcal/mol. The preferred function was: V = [a0 + a1(sin θ1 + sin θ2)4 + a2r]e-3r - [c0 + c1(1 + sinθ1sinθ2)]/r5. Deficiencies in the current ab initio data are discussed.

    Notes: We discuss the three fundamental issues of a computational approach in structure prediction by potential energy minimization, and analyze them for the nucleic acid component deoxyribose. Predicting the conformation of deoxyribose is important not only because of the molecule's central conformational role in the nucleotide backbone, but also because energetic and geometric discrepancies from experimental data have exposed some underlying uncertainties in potential energy calculations. The three fundamental issues examined here are: (i) choice of coordinate system to represent the molecular conformation; (ii) construction of the potential energy function; and (iii) choice of the minimization technique. For our study, we use the following combination. First, the molecular conformation is represented in cartesian coordinate space with the full set of degrees of freedom. This provides an opportunity for comparison with the pseudorotation approximation. Second, the potential energy function is constructed so that all the interactions other than the nonbonded terms are represented by polynomials of the coordinate variables. Third, two powerful Newton methods that are globally and quadratically convergent are implemented: Gill and Murray's Modified Newton method and a Truncated Newton method, specifically developed for potential energy minimization. These strategies have produced the two experimentally-observed structures of deoxyribose with geometric data (bond angles and dihedral angles) in very good agreement with experiment. More generally, the application of these modeling and minimization techniques to potential energy investigations is promising. The use of cartesian variables and polynomial representation of bond length, bond angle and torsional potentials promotes efficient second-derivative computation and, hence, application of Newton methods. The truncated Newton, in particular, is ideally suited for potential energy minimization not only because the storage and computational requirements of Newton methods are made manageable, but also because it contains an important algorithmic adaptive feature: the minimization search is diverted from regions where the function is nonconvex and is directed quickly toward physically interesting regions.

    Notes: Multi-ζ Slater-type orbitals are frequently used in molecular orbital calculations. Master formulae and numerical tables are available in literature for overlap integrals between s, p, and d atomic orbitals up to principal quantum number (n) = 3 and for some other selected quantum numbers. However, no master formula or numerical table is available for quantum numbers n = 5 and above and involving ƒ orbitals. In this article recursion formulae have been presented for the calculation of the overlap integral between any two s, p, d, and ƒ atomic orbitals formed by a linear combination of Slater-type orbitals. These formulae, when expanded, would give rise to all the master formulae reported in the literature as well as formulae hitherto unreported.

    Notes: Polymer conformational analyses can require being able to model the intramolecular energetics of a very long (infinite) chain employing calculations carried out on a relatively short chain sequence. A method to meet this need, based upon symmetry considerations and molecular mechanics energetics, has been developed. Given N equivalent degrees of freedom in a linear polymer chain, N unique molecular groups are determined within the chain. A molecular unit is defined as a group of atoms containing backbone rotational degrees of conformational freedom on each of its ends. The interaction of these N molecular groups, each with a finite number of nearest neighbors, properly describe the intramolecular energetics of a long (infinite) polymer chain. Thus, conformational energetics arising from arbitrarily distant neighbor interactions can be included in the estimation of statistical and thermodynamic properties of a linear polymeric system. This approach is called the polymer reduced interaction matrix method (PRIMM) and the results of applying it to isotactic polystyrene (I-PS) are presented by way of example.

    Notes: Comparison of the optimized geometries and SCF energies for the series XO2+, XO2, XO2-, XO2-, with X = S,N shows that d(S) functions cause larger bond shortening and energy drop than d functions centered on first-row atoms. This is further emphasized on comparing the separate effects of d(central atom) and d(O) functions for SO2 and NO2-, which are similar only for the first-row molecule. The d(S) functions are also essential for proper prediction of the OSO angles. The deformation densities calculated for each series and the corresponding X-O shared populations, change as expected on adding electrons first into σ* then into π* molecular orbitals. In the regions around nuclei the deformation densities express the behavior of the atomic s and p valence orbitals or of their product inside their radial nodes. Introduction of d functions causes substantial polarization effects. For X = N these are mostly local except in the bonding regions where d(N) and d(O) functions are somewhat interchangeable. However, d(S) functions induce also unique changes in the deformation density near O. They cause π and π′ charge migration from O to S and a σ flow in the opposite direction. These effects are largest for the hypervalent species. The unique populations of the d(S) functions are much larger than those of d(N) and d(O) functions. The contribution of d(S) functions to bonding is related to the larger amplitude at small radii of the atomic 3d(S) orbital as compared with that of 3d(N). The difference in amplitudes is related to penetration effects. Diffuse p functions affect geometries and SCF energies of doubly, but not singly negative ions. However, they mostly describe the diffuse nonbonding clouds and do not affect bonding patterns.

    Notes: Energies obtained by configuration interaction calculations including all double excitations with regard to the Hartree-Fock reference determinant can empirically be corrected to size consistency using either the Langhoff-Davidson (LD) formula or a formula suggested by Pople, Seeger, and Krishnan (PSK). Semiempirical MNDOC calculations suggest that for molecular systems with a large number of electrons and important correlation effects the PSK correction is superior to the LD correction.

    Notes: The potential energy surface of the van der Waals system HeLi2 is computed for the case in which the system has C2v symmetry and at the Li-Li distance (5.005 bohrs). A comparative study of the results for the two methods used, ab initio Hartree-Fock and second-order Møller-Plesset, and several basis sets, ranging from minimal to near Hartree-Fock quality, is also done. The results show the importance of correcting the basis set superposition error, and the need, in order to obtain a good description of the potential, of basis sets with polarization functions on all the atoms, when the Møller-Plesset method is used. At the Hartree-Fock level, the MINI-1 basis gives results almost of the same quality as the near Hartree-Fock basis.

    Notes: Intermolecular potential functions have been used to determine the equilibrium structures of the water-pyridine complexes. The dimer and symmetrical 2:1 water pyridine systems have been studied. Three water models, ST2, TIPS2, and EMPWI have been combined with two different Lennard Jones nonbonded parameters and various charge distributions for the pyridine molecule to describe the systems. For the dimer, results show two distinguishable classes of preferential hydration sites, which are specific sites corresponding to hydrogen-bonded dimer and nonspecific sites located near the hydrophobic regions. Calculations performed on hydrogen-bonded symmetrical complexes show that the planar complex is generally less stable than the complex with water molecules perpendicular to the pyridine plane. For these complexes, the major factor that influences the hydrogen-bonded configurations is the choice of the water model. The importance of atomic charge distributions for the solute over the choice of potential parameters is pointed out. Finally, the effective lone pair representation on the aromatic nitrogen atom is shown to improve the hydrogen bond geometry and the stability of the complexes.

    Notes: Basis set superposition error in hydrogen-bonded systems can exaggerate attraction calculated from self-consistent field energies as well as from electron correlation energies. One cause of this error is the basis set deficiency in describing the charge polarization of one constituent molecule when its bonding partner approaches. That constituent molecule's description is improved partly because of the proximity of the partner's basis functions, independent of real attraction. That polarization-related error is shown to occur primarily at the SCF level and not at correlated levels.

    Notes: The effect of polarization functions for ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the 3-21G* level has been studied for disiloxane. Calculated molecular geometry, dipole moment, and the linearization barrier variation were analyzed for different uncontracted polarization functions. It was concluded that variation of the polarization function on oxygen has only a minor influence on the molecular properties of disiloxane, but its presence is required to obtain a bent geometry for the disiloxane bond. The calculated molecular properties of disiloxane are greatly influenced when the polarization function on silicon is varied. Two different values (0.3 and 0.9) for the exponent of the silicon polarization function provide results comparable to the experimental values for disiloxane. The only significant differences between the results obtained from ab initio calculations using the two polarization functions are in net atomic charges. The uncontracted polarization function of silicon with a value of 0.3 for its exponent is transferable to other organosilicon compounds. Calculated molecular geometries of flexible or rigid structures are in very good agreement with the experimental values.

    Notes: A nonlinear least squares procedure based on the Meiron method is described for the evaluation of the convolutionally distorted decay curves consisting of exponentials. Most of the special procedures are well known and the selected ones proved to be the most effective. Some new procedures are introduced to facilitate the evaluation work and literature data are analyzed as an example.

    Notes: A Molecular-Orbital-Based Molecular Mechanics method (MOMM) has been employed to calculate the structures of cyclopentadiene, pyrrole, furan, thiophene, dibenzocyclopentadiene (fluorene), dibenzopyrrole, dibenzofuran, and dibenzothiophene. The dimer structures of the above compounds have also been calculated using the same method to derive the unit cells of polycyclopentadiene, polypyrrole, polyfuran, polythiophene, polydibenzocyclopentadiene, polydibenzopyrrole, polydibenzofuran, and polydibenzothiophene. The band structures, densities of states, ionization potentials, band gaps, reduction potentials, and oxidation potentials of these polymers then have been calculated by using the Valence Effective Hamiltonian method (VEH). The structural effects on electronic properties are discussed.

    Notes: Medium size Gaussian basis sets for inert-gas atoms (from neon to xenon) have been constructed using the energy optimization method which maintains reliable description of the long-range valence atomic region. These basis sets have been tested in SCF calculations on homonuclear inert-gas dimers. For Ne2, Ar2, and Kr2, the present results have been analyzed carefully and compared with those obtained using extended basis sets (for Kr2 extended benchmark calculations are also reported). Our interation energies agree well with accurate values and are compared with experimental data. For Ne2 and Ar2, detailed studies of basis set superposition error also are presented.

    Notes: Using previously reported ab initio potentials of the intermolecular interaction energies of phospholipid (PL), Lysophosphatidyl Ethanolamine, with one Na+ ion and one water molecule, we performed Monte Carlo simulations for PL-water and PL-Na+-water systems. Water-water and PL-water interaction energetics of PL hydration sites are analyzed to understand, in a qualitative way, why the PL head part shows hydrophilicity and the tail part shows hydrophobicity. The interaction of Na+ with PL, as well as the interaction of water with PL, is visualized from the analysis of the hydration structures near PL, and the radial distribution functions are analyzed for selected hydration sites. The PL molecule shows much stronger interaction with Na+ than with water. The Na+ ion is likely to be strongly bound to PO4-, even to the extent of being trapped, whereas, for water, there exist two strong binding regions near NH3+ and PO4-. Three water molecules near NH3+ are much more strongly bound than four water molecules near the double-bonded oxygens of PO4-. The hydrogens of CH2 adjacent to NH3+ show somewhat strong hydrophilicity, while the hydrogens of CH2 adjacent to PO4- does not show such characteristics. The CH2 groups at the PL tail part give repulsive interactions with water molecules, showing hydrophobicity. Water molecules near the PL tail are stabilized only by water-water interactions.
