Computer assisted operations (CAO) involves the use of computer technology to support operations, with functions ranging from collection of data using simple calculators and PCs to integrated computer networks for automatic operation of a field. In the extreme case CAO can be used for totally unmanned offshore production operations with remote... 

A two-dimensional slice may be taken either parallel to one of the principal co-ordinate planes (X-Y, X-Z and Y-Z) selected from a menu, or in any arbitrary orientation defined on screen by the user. Once a slice through the data has been taken, and displayed on the screen, a number of tools are available to assist the operator with making measurements of indications. These tools allow measurement of distance between two points, calculation of 6dB or maximum amplitude length of a flaw, plotting of a 6dB contour, and textual aimotation of the view. Figure 11 shows 6dB sizing and annotation applied to a lack of fusion example. 

Signal processing in mechanical impedance analysis (MIA) pulse flaw detectors by means of cross correlation function (CCF) is described. Calculations are carried out for two types of signals, used in operation with single contact and twin contact probes. It is shown that thi.s processing can increase the sensitivity and signal to noise ratio. 

Interfacial Contact Area and Approach to Equilibrium. Experimental extraction cells such as the original Lewis stirred cell (52) are often operated with a flat Hquid—Hquid interface the area of which can easily be measured. In the single-drop apparatus, a regular sequence of drops of known diameter is released through the continuous phase (42). These units are useful for the direct calculation of the mass flux N and hence the mass-transfer coefficient for a given system. 

Whatever the physiology of odor perception may be, the sense of smell is keener than that of taste (22). If flavors are classed into odors and tastes as is common practice in science, it can be calculated that there are probably more than 10 possible sensations of odor and only a few, perhaps five, sensations of taste (13,21,35—37). Just as a hereditary or genetic factor may cause taste variations between individuals toward phenylthiourea, a similar factor may be in operation with odor. The odor of the steroid androsterone, found in many foods and human sweat, may eflcit different responses from different individuals. Some are very sensitive to it and find it unpleasant. To others, who are less sensitive to it, it has a musk or sandalwood-like smell. Approximately 50% of the adults tested cannot detect any odor even at extremely high concentrations. It is befleved that this abiUty is genetically determined (38). 

Normally vessels are designed with the gas outlet location well above TDH. If circumstances force operation with a bed height so that the outlet is below TDH, an equivalent velocity, an effective velocity higher than the actual superficial gas velocity, is used ia the above calculation. The effective gas velocity can be determined from Figure 19 (27). 

This states that/(x) can be calculated as close to N as desirable by making x sufficiently close to a. This does not put any restriction on fix) when x = a. Alternatively, for any given positive number , a number 6 can be found such that 0 < b — xl < 6 implies that IN —fix) < . The following operations with hmits (when they exist) are valid ... 

In Fig. 30-25, representation of the fault detection monitoring activity, there appears to be two distinct time periods of unit operation with a transition period between the two. The mean parameter value and corresponding sample standard deviation can be calculated for each time. These means can be tested by setting the null hypothesis that the means are the same and performing the appropriate t-test. Rejecting the null hypothesis indicates that there may have been a shift in operation of the unit. Diagnosis (troubleshooting) is the next step. 

If similar measurements are made on the catalyst to be studied, then there is a good knowledge of the flow. Operating conditions should be calculated with the measured values and evaluated at the temperature and pressure of the experiment. If, in the calculated operating conditions, some important gradients are indicated, then a corrective action should be taken. These may include ... 

The optimum mobile phase velocity will also be determined in the above calculations together with the minimum radius to achieve minimum solvent consumption and maximum mass sensitivity. The column specifications and operating conditions are summarized in Table 4. 

Before we can analyze the electronic structure of a nanotube in terms of its helical symmetry, we need to find an appropriate helical operator S>(h,ip), representing a screw operation with a translation h units along the cylinder axis in conjunction with a rotation if radians about this axis. We also wish to find the operator S that requires the minimum unit cell size (i.e., the smallest set of carbon atoms needed to generate the entire nanotube using S) to minimize the computational complexity of calculating the electronic structure. We can find this helical operator by first... 

Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis must be extended to at least 24 hours into the accident. This study used calculations for feed-and-bleed operation with a charging pump, and with gravity teed from the refueling water storage tank (RWST),... 

We denoted the mass of dry air in a volume V as that is, p, - w,/Vj, and the mass of water vapor in V as m, that is, pp = mp/Yp. In practical calculations we usually handle volume flow volume flow is known in the suction inlet of a fan when the operating point of the fan is defined. Volume flow q, expressing the total air flow or the combined volume flow of water vapor and dry air, is not constant in various parts of the duct, because the pressure and temperature can vary. Therefore in technical calculations dealing with humid air, materia flows are treated as mass flows. Also, while the humidity can vary, the basic quantity is dry air mass flow w,(kg d.a./s). If, for instance, we know the volume flow q,. of a fan, the dry air mass flow through the fan is...

Numbers such as these are very awkward to work with. For example, neither of the numbers just written could be entered directly on a calculator. Operations involving very large or very small numbers can be simplified by using exponential (scientific) notation. To express a number in exponential notation, write it in the form... 

The molecular weights calculated in this way agree very closely with the so-called chemical molecular weights, derived from chemical analysis, and the method therefore rivals the latter in accuracy, without the attendant complications attaching to chemical operations with pure substances. 

The purpose of this section is to present a general theoretical model of gas-liquid-particle operations, with a number of simplifying assumptions that make possible, at least in principle, the calculation of the conversion and yield from a specified amount of information regarding transport phenomena and reaction kinetics. 

Air at 290 K is compressed from 101.3 kN/m2 to 2065 kN/m2 in a two-stage compressor operating with a mechanical efficiency of 85 per cent. The relation between pressure and volume during the compression stroke and expansion of the clearance gas is PV1-25 = constant. The compression ratio in each of the two cylinders is the same, and the interstage cooler may be assumed 100 per cent efficient. If the clearances in the two cylinders are 4 per cent and 5 per cent respectively, calculate ... 

The calculation of conditions within a countercurrent column operating with a system other than air-water is carried out in a similar manner to that already described by... 

The right-hand side of this equation includes components with and without exponential Boltzmann factor but their sum equals the total flow of particles from the j th rotational level to the rest of the levels. After this correction both necessary demands, Eq. (4.65) and Eq. (4.66), are satisfied. This result is of great advantage since calculation of the impact operator with the rather simple semiclassical formula, Eq. (5.1), does not lead after correction to any principal difficulties. The set of equations (5.26) and (5.27) determine the operator r(0) consistently but not uniquely. Other recipes may be used as well (see Chapter 7 and [195]). 

The use of recombinant bST does not reduce GHG emissions but increases milk production so that the calculated emissions/unit of milk produced is reduced (Baumann, 1992). Capper et ah (2008) evaluated the environmental impact of using bST in a conventional dairying system and reported reductions in CH4 emissions of 8.3%. 15.2% of the total of small (<100 cows), medium (100 < cows < 500), and large farm operations (cows > 500) surveyed in the United States used bST on 17.2% of the cows (USDA, 2007). The use of bST increased with the size of the operation, with 9.1% of small farms using bST and 42.7% of large farms reporting use of bST. 

In this equation, the parentheses denote activities. The model operates with a series of time-steps. Between two time steps, a fraction of fluid (df) is added to the mantle wedge. The activity of Ra in the fluid is calculated from the composition of the slab at the preceding step (similar equations for U, Th, Ra, Pa) ... 

A furnace bums a liquid coal tar fuel derived from coke-ovens. Calculate the heat transferred in the furnace if the combustion gases leave at 1500 K. The burners operate with 20 per cent excess air. 

In a sequential-modular program the executive program sets up the flow-sheet sequence, identifies the recycle loops, and controls the unit operation calculations interacting with the unit operations library, physical property data bank and the other sub-routines. It will also contain procedures for the optimum ordering the calculations and routines to promote... 

Equations 14.17 and 14.18 are very simple, but the accuracy of the predictions depends greatly on the realistic estimation of Ca, which varies with time during the operation of the SVE system. For the start of the SVE project and considering that the free organic phase, NAPL, is present in the subsurface, a hrst approximation is to calculate Ca from the vapor pressure data of the contaminants (equation 2 in Table 14.3 or Equation 14.1). The actual concentration, however, will be lower than this value for two main reasons (1) the extracted airstream does not pass only through the contaminated zone and (2) limitations on mass transfer exist. An effectiveness factor q should be considered to take into account the effect of these phenomena on removal rates. The value of this factor can be determined by comparing the calculated concentration with data obtained from the preliminary pilot tests at the site ... 

A boiler with a capacity of 100,000 kg-tr1 is required to produce steam of 40 bar and 350°C. The feedwater from the deaerator is at 100°C and contains 100 ppm dissolved solids. Maximum dissolved solids allowed in the boiler is 2000 ppm. The steam system operates with 60% condensate return. Enthalpy data for steam are given in Table 23.10. Calculate ...
