Models coded

Seeing the success of the UNAMAP BBS, EPA s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards started a BBS for information on regulatory models in June 1989. This has expanded to a BBS called TTN, Technology Transfer Network. This BBS, in Durham, NC, is reached on (919) 541-5742 and the system operator on (919) 541-5384. A part of this BBS called SCRAM, Support Center for Regulatory Air Models, contains model FORTRAN codes, model executable codes for use on personal computers, meteorological data, and in some cases model user s guides. Much of the information is downloaded in "packed" form, and software to unpack the files must also be downloaded from the bulletin board. 

Generally these codes/models are limited in ability to incorporate all of the aspects of fire while still maintaining a simple physical description of how enclosure fires develop. This requires balancing mathematical detail against physical realism. 

The analysis of the consequences of nuclear accidents began with physical concepts of core melt, discussed the mathematical and code models of radionuclide release and transport within the plant to its release into the environment, models for atmospheric transport and the calculation of health effects in humans. After the probabilities and consequences of the accidents have been determined, they must be assembled and the results studied and presented to convey the meanings. 

The use of independent methods, other than IFIC, for quantitative demonstration of proteins is particularly important. Both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot may be employed to confirm the amount of protein in a cell/tissue model, and in the protein-embedding bar code model under both comparable fresh and FFPE samples for accurate... 

The parabolic relationship between reaction rate and uncoded pH is obtained by expansion of the coded model. 

Since its introduction in 1971, SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) has become the most popular analog simulation tool in use today. In the last 15 years, we have seen explosive growth in the use of SPICE, with the addition of Berkeley SPICE 3 enhancements, and support for C code model and mixed-mode simulation using XSPICE (Cox et al. 1992, Kielkowski 1994).We have also seen many new companies emerge as developers of SPICE-based simulation tools, most of which are currently available for the PC platform. 

Where the Leung methods are inapplicable, a detailed computer simulation can be used to sizing the relief system (see Annex 4). In such cases, care should be taken that the computer code models all necessary features of the relieving runaway reaction. Therefore computer simulations are best carried out by competent specialists.

Despite this last observation, for this type of simulation and modelling research, two main means of evolution remain the first consists in enlarging the library with new and newly coded models for unit operations or apparatuses (such as the unit processes mentioned above multiphase reactors, membrane processes, etc.) the second is specified by the sophistication of the models developed for the apparatus that characterizes the unit operations. With respect to this second means, we can develop a hierarchy dividing into three levels. The first level corresponds to connectionist models of equilibrium (frequently used in the past). The second level involves the models of transport phenomena with heat and mass transfer kinetics given by approximate solutions. And finally, in the third level, the real transport phenomena the flow, heat and mass transport are correctly described. In...

Todic et al. [14] developed a comprehensive micro-kinetic model based on the carbide mechanism that predicts FT product distribution up to carbon number 15. This model explains the non-ASF product distribution using a carbon number dependent olefin formation rate (e term). The rate equations for the olefins and paraffins used in the model are shown in Figure 2. The derivation of the rate equations and physical meaning of the kinetic parameters, as well as their fitted values, can be found in Todic et al. [14]. In the current study, a MATLAB code which uses the Genetic Algorithm Toolbox has been developed, following the method of Todic et al. [14], to estimate the kinetic model parameters. In order to validate our code, model output from Todic et al. [14] was used as the input data to our code, and the kinetic parameter values were back-calculated and compared to the values fi om [14], as shown in Table 1. The model has 19 kinetic parameters that are to be estimated. The objective function to be minimized was defined as... 

The MACCS2 code modeled weather for transport and dispersion by sampling a database of 8760 hourly weather data covering one full year. The Typical Meteorological Year for the Albuquerque International Airport (Sunport), as developed by the National Climatic Center, was chosen as representative site weather data (Aldrich et al. 1982). This same weather file has been used for CRAC and MACCS dose versus distance calculations in TA-V SARs since 1980.

The utilisation of specific codes (modelling tools) is required to obtain design parameters of some important systems (e g. primary cooling system, reactor core, etc.). In some cases these codes must be developed and/or validated with experimental data to build confidence on their results. 

It may also be acceptable to use a combination of a best estimate computer code and reahstic assumptions on initial and boundary conditions. Such an approach should be based on statistically combined uncertainties for plant conditions and code models to establish, with a specified high probability, that the calculated results do not exceed the acceptance criteria. 

Uncertainty studies in the framework of deterministic safety analysis are meant as statistical combinations of the influence of the plant conditions, code models and associated phenomena on the results. These studies should be used to confirm that the actual plant parameters will be bounded by the results of calculation plus uncertainty with a specified high confidence. A combination of sensitivity studies, code to code comparisons, code to data comparisons and expert judgements are typically used to estimate uncertainties. 

The complexity of the heat transfer processes in nuclear reactor core requires computer codes to handle both local and system-wide behavior under normal, transient, and accident conditions. The code models are assessed with experimental data to ensure that they were working properly. Some of the largest and most widely used codes in United States are as follows ... 

Advanced computational physics based on up-to-date theoretical understanding can provide substantial guidance for experimental procedure. Although an experimental arrangement need not follow theoretical predictions, it is very beneficial to evaluate experimental procedure with theoretical and computational assistance as has been amply demonstrated by the resistive MHD code modeling of the PPL spheromak formation method to be discussed later.
