Area differential

Thus, the technique consists of a transformation from the time differential dt to the area differential dQ, and the essential effect of this transformation is a reduction by one of the apparent order of the reaction. The variable 6 is the area under the curve of Cb vs. time from t = 0 to time t. With modem computer techniques for integrating experimental curves, this method should be attractive. 

An evaluation of the number of moon craters per unit area (differentiated according to the diameter of the craters) as a function of the time at which the collisions leading to their formation occurred indicates that the processes involved were similar to those which could have occurred on Earth. It is likely that the bombardment reached a maximum around four billion years ago and dropped after about another billion years to the present rate of collision (Neukum, 1987).

Graphical Method. With this method disparities in the data are easily seen. As explained in Appendix A.2, the graphical method involves plotting AC, /At as a fimction of t and then using equal-area differentiation to obtain dCJdt. An illustrative example is also given in Appendix A.2.

There are many ways of differentiating numerical and graphical data. We shall confine our discussions to the technique of equal-area differentiation. In the procedure delineated below we want to find the derivative of y with respect to x. 

Fig. 5 Facility monitoring and control room (A) and operator interface screen with aseptic area differential pressure readings (B). Features that can be monitored via touch screen from the control room include water status, utility status, outside conditions, air-handling units, and process areas in non-sterile and sterile locations.

Figure 8.7 (a) The detector is at distance d from the source. (6) The source is assumed to be at the center of the sphere. The cone defined by the angle determines the area (differential area i4) on the surface of the sphere. 

Differential Method In order to use the differential method of data analysis, it is necessary to differentiate the reactant concentration versus space-time data obtained in a plug-flow PBR. There are three methods of differentiation that are commonly used (i) graphical equal-area differentiation, (ii) numerical differentiation or finite difference formulas, and (iii) polynomial fit to the data followed by analytical differentiation. The aim of differentiation is to obtain point values of the reaction rate ( Ra)p at each reactant concentration Q4 or conversion xa or space time (.W/Fao), as required. All three differentiation methods can introduce some error to the evaluation of -Ra)p- Information on and illustration of the various differentiation techniques are available in the literature [23, 26]. 

The derivative l-dCj /dt) is determined by calculating and plotting (-AC/ /At) as a function of lime. /, and then using the equal-area differentiation technique (Appendix A.2) to determine l dC /dt as a function of Ca- First, we calculate the ratio (-ACVA/) from the first two columns of Table E7-2.2 the result is written in the third column. 

Next we use Tabic E7-2.2 to plot the third column as a Function of the first column in Figure E7-1.1 [i.e., (-AC /Ar) versus /J. Using equal-area differentiation, the value of [-dCxldt) is read off the figure (represented by the arrows) then it is used to complete the fourth column of Table E7-2.2. 

Prediction of differential settlements that may occur between several zones of the reclaimed area differential settlements might be more problematic than absolute settlements.
