Slater's theory of unimolecular reactions is tested by comparing theoretical and experimental values of the pressure at which the rate constant has fallen off from the high-pressure limit by 5%. A simplified method is used for calculating lower bounds to the theoretical value of this pressure. Agreement with experimental data on cyclobutane, cyclobutene, and nitrogen pentoxide is rather poor; experimental values are lower than the calculated lower bounds.

Rate constants for the recombination of CH3 radicals have been measured by means of the rotating sector technique in the temperature range 373- 463 K, and at a pressure of 30 Torr . CH3 radicals were produced by the photolysis of acetone, and the experimental data were fitted to sector curves generated from Shepp's theory. The results give kb = (2.81�0.22)×1013 cm3 mol-1 s-1, which, under the chosen experimental conditions, is close to its high-pressure limiting value. A comparison is made with the other values of the rate constant reported in the literature, and a best value is suggested.

The dynamics of the 1,4-migration of some O-substituted 3,5-di-tert-butyl-ortho-semiquinone radicals have been calculated by density-functional theory (DFT). There is very good agreement in the rate constant and Arrhenius parameters between these calculations and experimental values for migration of H, D, and the Me3Si group. For the Me3Sn group, the calculations indicate an incredibly fast migration (k293K = 2.0 × 1012 s–1), a result that is consistent with experimental data (k293K > 109 s–1). Other O-substituents examined by DFT and compared with experimental data were H3C and Me2ClSn.

The present study explains the behaviour of nanomaterials such as AlN, CdSe, Ge, WC, and Ni- and Fe-filled-MWCNTs under high pressure. Among the number of isothermal EOSs available, we prefer only two parameter-based isothermal equations (i.e., Murnaghan equation, usual Tait's equation, Suzuki equation and Shanker equation). The present work shows the theoretical study of thermo-elastic properties especially relative compression (V/V0), isothermal bulk modulus (KP/K0), and compressibility (αP/α0) of nanomaterials. After comparing all formulations with available experimental data, we conclude that pressure dependence of relative compression (V/V0) for the nanomaterials, are in good agreement for all the equations at lower pressure range. At higher pressure range, Suzuki and Shanker formulations show some deviation from experimental values.

Gas chromatographic unified retention indices of some chlorinated xenobiotic chemicals, as pollutants in waste waters, on OV-101 and SE-30 stationary phases are presented. These values agree well with the corresponding experimental values used in the statistical treaunent of the experimental data.

In this work, an additive model for the prediction of the rheological and mechanical properties of monopolymer blends made by virgin and reprocessed components is proposed. A polypropylene sample has been reprocessed more times in an extruder and monopolymer blends have been prepared by simulating an industrial process. The scraps are exposed to regrinding and are melt reprocessed before mixing with the virgin polymer. The reprocessed polymer is, then, subjected to some thermomechanical degradation. Rheological and mechanical experimental data have been compared with the theoretical predictions. The results obtained showed that the values of this simple additive model are a very good fit for the experimental values of both rheological and mechanical properties.

When applying the non-parallel shear zone model to predict the cutting process parameters of carbon steel workpiece, it is found that there is a big error between the prediction results and the experimental values. And also, the former approach to obtain the relevant cutting parameters of the non-parallel shear zone model by applying coordinate transformation to the parallel shear zone model has a theoretical error – it erroneously regards the determinant (|J|) of the Jacobian matrix (J) in the coordinate transformation as a constant. The shape of the shear zone obtained when |J| is not constant is drew and it is found that the two boundaries of the shear zone are two slightly curved surfaces rather than two inclined planes. Also, the error between predicted values and experimental values of cutting force and cutting thrust is slightly smaller than that of constant |J|. A corrected model where |J| is a variable is proposed. Since the specific values of inclination of the shear zone (α, β), the thickness coefficient of the shear zone (as) and the constants related to the material (f0, p) are not given in the former work, a method to obtain the above-mentioned five constants by solving multivariable constrained optimization problem based on experimental data was also proposed; based on the obtained experimental data of AISI 1045 steel workpiece cutting force, cutting thrust, chip thickness, the results of five above-mentioned model constants are obtained. It is found that, compared with prediction from uncorrected model, the cutting force and cutting thrust of AISI 1045 steel predicted by the corrected model with the obtained constants has a better agreement with the experimental values obtained by Ivester.
