Phase equilibria for binary systems of octane boosters with 2,2,4-trimethylpentane

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium data at 95.96 kPa for the three binary systems of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane with methyl tert-butyl ether, di-isopropyl ether and dimethoxymethane are determined. A Swietoslawski type ebulliometer is used for the measurements. The experimental T–x data are used to estimate Wilson parameters and the parameters, in turn, are used to calculate vapor phase compositions and activity coefficients. All the systems studied here do not exhibit azeotropes and behave like non-ideal solutions.     

Vapor–liquid equilibria of some binary mixtures formed by methylethylketone at 94.7 kPa

Bubble temperatures at 94.7?kPa, for the binary mixtures formed by methylethylketone (MEK) with cyclo-hexanone, tetrahydrofuran, ortho- and meta-xylenes, bromobenzene, chlorobenzene, epichlorohydrin, nitrobenzene, and iso- and tert-butanols have been measured by means of a Swietoslawski-type ebulliometer. The data could be represented well by the Wilson model.     

Bootstrapping and Askey–Wilson polynomials

The mixed moments for the Askey–Wilson polynomials are found using a bootstrapping method and connection coefficients. A similar bootstrapping idea on generating functions gives a new Askey–Wilson generating function. Modified generating functions of orthogonal polynomials are shown to generate polynomials satisfying recurrences of known degree greater than three. An important special case of this hierarchy is a polynomial which satisfies a four term recurrence, and its combinatorics is studied.

Speeding up the FMMR perfect sampling algorithm: A case study revisited

In a previous paper by the second author, two Markov chain Monte Carlo perfect sampling algorithms—one called coupling from the past (CFTP) and the other (FMMR) based on rejection sampling—are compared using as a case study the move‐to‐front (MTF) self‐organizing list chain. Here we revisit that case study and, in particular, exploit the dependence of FMMR on the user‐chosen initial state. We give a stochastic monotonicity result for the running time of FMMR applied to MTF and thus identify the initial state that gives the stochastically smallest running time; by contrast, the initial state used in the previous study gives the stochastically largest running time. By changing from worst choice to best choice of initial state we achieve remarkable speedup of FMMR for MTF; for example, we reduce the running time (as measured in Markov chain steps) from exponential in the length n of the list nearly down to n when the items in the list are requested according to a geometric distribution. For this same example, the running time for CFTP grows exponentially in n. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2003     

On the Evaluation of the Evolution Operator Z Reg( R 2, R 1) in the Diakonov–Petrov Approach to the Wilson Loop

We evaluate the evolution operator Z _Reg(R ₂,R ₁) introduced by Diakonov and Petrov for the definition of the Wilson loop in terms of a path integral over gauge degrees of freedom. We use the procedure suggested by Diakonov and Petrov (Physics Letters B 224 (1989) 131) and show that the evolution operator vanishes.

An improved scheme for determining heat transfer correlations from heat exchanger regression models with three unknowns

A nonlinear regression scheme for determining heat transfer correlations from overall heat exchanger measurements is presented. The proposed scheme is valid for any two-fluid heat exchanger data where only one fluid's thermal resistance varies. The resulting regression model has three unknowns; two are associated with the variable resistance, and the third is the sum of all other resistances. The model can be analyzed only by using nonlinear regression because it cannot be transformed into linear form. Unlike existing approximate methods of analysis (known as modified Wilson plots), the proposed scheme is guaranteed to converge if a solution exists. The scheme was successfully tested by analyzing data collected on a tube-fin heat exchanger with continuous plain fins.
