Meanings
- not comparablemathematicsConsisting of the linear combination of different rate equations, each of which may or may not be linear.
These simultaneous reactions are described by paralinear kinetics.
2000, Elizabeth J. Opila, “Paralinear Oxidation of SiC and SI₃N₄ in Combustion Environments”, in Kurt R. Hebert, Robert Scott Lillard, B. R. MacDougall, editor, Oxide Films: Proceedings of the International Symposium, page 4314 more examples
Therefore, for the basic paralinear model, this method gives the exact solution as a function of time for ΔW, Wₘ and Wᵣ.
1976, Irving E. Sumner, Charles M. Spuckler, Purging of Multilayer Insulation by Gas Diffusion, page 5A paralinear analysis technique was then used to estimate specific metal loss at 10 000 hours (refs. 1, 2).
1977, Charles A. Barrett, “10 000-Hour Cyclic Oxidation Behavior at 815°C (1500°F) of 33 High-Temperature Alloys”, in M. R. Louthan, R. P. McNitt, editor, Proceedings of Conference, Environmental Degradation of Engineering Materials, page 320The 'paralinear' kinetics is usually observed if one of the layers is compact while the other is porous.
1998, Vasiliĭ Ivanovich Dybkov, Growth Kinetics of Chemical Compound Layers, page 69For example, the models underlying the paralinear distance (Lake 1994) and the LogDet distance (Lockhart et al. 1994) are presumably applicable to the situation when nucleotide frequencies have changed during the divergence of different lineages.
