A sufficient condition for applicability of the Kirchhoff approach is proposed.
For low "capture rates", i.e. small NE and NSE compared to N, which we have, one generally uses Chapman's modification of the model that minimizes bias in the population estimate, but has the same condition for applicability otherwise [24].
The similarities between models are noted, as are the appropriate conditions for their applicability.
Hereby, boundary conditions for the applicability of commonly used dispersion model and the correlation proposed by Taylor and Aris for the model parameter Bodenstein number Bo are explained.
The analytical conditions for the applicability of a Non-linear Superposition Technique (NST) are established by using the Normal Form Method (NFM).
Based on the simulation results, the conditions for the applicability of the familiar Mullins-Von Neumann law and the Hiller's equation were discussed.
As in other related approaches, the proposal can be useful for testing the performance of chemometric methods with data sets matching the theoretical conditions for their applicability or checking their robustness when the hypothesized properties fail.
In addition, the conditions for its applicability to real systems allowed us to postulate a lower bound for the CPE exponent as function of film properties which seems to be consistent with the values reported in the literature.
Conditions for the applicability of this approach are very mild.
