The preceding sections described molecular interactions important in organic solar cells. This section discusses the impact of those interactions on the overall device behavior. Simulated electrical behavior for a typical solar cell is illustrated in Fig. 10. Under forward bias voltages 0 < V < Vqo typical photovoltaic device under illumination supplies power (P = / x V) to the external circuit (cf. lower panel of Fig. 10, dashed trace in first quadrant). The formalism used here implies that, under reverse bias, the organic material is reduced at the anode and oxidized at the cathode, while, under forward bias, the organic material is oxidized at the anode and reduced at the cathode. The short circuit current, J c, is approximately equal to... 

Here we list some of the most significant applications of molecular simulation, as provided by Wierzchowski (Personal Communication, October 4,2006) although this list is by no means exhaustive. Since the first applications of molecular simulation to hydrates by Tse, et al. (1983a,b 1984), the tool has been widely used to interpret physical behavior. Simulation has impacted six major hydrate research areas. 

Object-oriented systems use the concept of reusable entities that contain both the data and procedures relevant to the object, and thus eliminating the separation of knowledge and reasoning found in expert systems. In object-oriented systems computation is behavior simulation of real-life systems. Once certain classes of objects are created, they can be reused to create other objects and properties with interface and behavior. The self-contained character of objects is known as encapsulation. Inheritance allows derivation of new objects from existent ones, and encapsulation defines the limits of services an object can provide to other objects. An example of this system is provided by GENERA,31 and a schematic representation is given in Figure 5.2. 

We first have to set up a simulation model we can modify the UTCHEM sample file batch.txt. Table 7.4 lists key parameters in a phase behavior simulation model and provides some comments to help set up the model. These comments should be helpful even if other simulators are used or a model is built from scratch.

The results focus on the success rate of finding a safe evacuation route rather than on overall route optimization. This is due to the fact that, for measuring the improvement comparison between virtual evacuations, time using ERAM and real evacuation time is required. In order to obtain the real one, sophisticated human behavior simulation is needed. 

It should be clear that this metric is extremely pessimistic due to the simplistic human behavior simulated. As in a real situation a swarm node can become an informed one by asking other people, following signs or by visual contact with the safe area.

Behavioral simulation and examples of VHDL simulation models are provided in Chapter 3. 

Chapter 3 covers the simulation steps, i.e., both functional or behavioral simulation of the HDL and the post-sfynthesis or gate-level simulation. This chapter has been included, primarily, to help the reader understand the design flow better. An example VHDL code of TAP controller is provided along with its testbench. The steps to perform behavioral simulation, and gate level simulation after synthesis have been discussed. The simulator used here is the Synopsys VHDL System Simulator (VSS). However, discussion on VSS is beyond the scope of this book. 

The SFL behavioral simulator, named SECONDS, directly interprets the SFL source. Since it does not require an expansion process into connective description, SECONDS can begin simulation very quickly. Most conventional behavioral simulators require expansion processes, because their basic behavioral description languages allow the use of connective description mixed with behavioral description. 

Product degradation behavior simulation based on PoF models... 

The goal of product degradation behavior simulation is to acquire performance data varying with time under specific conditions and find out the weakest link of product design.

Experiments show that during collisions at high Weber numbers extremely thin fluid lamellae appear. A rupture of the lamella is not observed in binary droplet collisions at least for Weber numbers up to 2800, cf. [2, 12, 23, 30]. In contrast to this physical behavior, simulations in the literature predict the rupture of the lamella see, e.g., [18, 21, 29]. One main reason for this rupture is a low mesh resolution for the lamella. As a result, the part containing the rim remains, while the lamella breaks into many fragments see Fig. 1.1. 

Chapter 8 is dedicated to the modeling of heavy oil upgrading via hydroprocessing. Experimental studies for generation of kinetic data, catalyst deactivation, and long-term stability test are explained. Mass and heat balance equations are provided for the reactor modeling for steady-state and dynamic behavior. Simulations of bench-scale reactor and commercial reactor for different situations are also reported.
