Much of the research pursued by the authors of this paper and by their associates has involved studies of the catalytic hydrogenation of coals in the absence of solvent. The technique has been used to elucidate the mechanisms of catalytic coal liquefaction and to provide simultaneously some insight into the structure of coals. Peter Given was directly instrumental in providing the incentive for this research which has extended since 1983. Previous findings were disseminated through several publications (4-8. In this paper, some of the earlier data have been collated with more recent results (9) to provide an account of the relevance of these studies to the two-component concept.

The concept of chemical components. Each species can be expressed as the product of a set of chemical components that define the equilibrium problem and a formation constant. Morel (1983) has expressed the definition of the chemical components as a set of chemical entities that permits a complete description of the stoichiometry of the system . For the example of the hydroxy-aluminium species given above Al3+ and H+ are the chemical components. As will be seen in the section on surface complexes the components are not necessarily elements or species. The components concept is important for understanding how to set up chemical equilibrium problems with various computer models. 

The Subsystem Design phase is the point where individual component concepts begin to form in compliance with the cascaded requirements from the vehicle specifications. There are a number of ways to achieve this end, but a systematic method will include a description of the system relative to external features, how critical these functions are and the effects of failure, the means of identifying and dealing with failure, and how the actions are to be confirmed. Typical tools used to act on these needs are briefly described below.

The central PLM concept in the automotive industry is the platform approach which is currently extended into a modular approach. Several car lines of an automotive OEM have an identical platform or are built based on the same module set sharing parts, components, concepts, manufacturing principles, supply chains, maintenance procedures and so on. For the OEM this leads to a reduction of costs on the one hand due to a standardization and re-use. On the other hand its modularization is the key to an increasing variety of products. This variety needs to be managed, approved and documented. This also leads to a very complex PLM concept due to the necessary modularization of PLM structures and the management of product changes over a larger number of car derivatives (see Sect. 21.2). 

In the improved design of PFBR, the number of components have been reduced drastically. However the overall systems component concepts have been kept the same as in intial 4 loop concept. 

Similar to the two-dimensional reactor model, the particle model can also be reduced to the solution of one differential equation for each of the independent reactions [113]. This is carried out by use of the key component concept. A key component is an active component in each of the independent chemical reactions not participating in other reactions. Usually the limiting reactant for a reaction is chosen as a key component. 

More recent articles have are focussed on the application of either lattice-fluid models or SAFT in the framework of continuous thermodynamics or of the pseudo-component concept. Koak et al has calculated cloud-point and...

A mixture with COMP components is fully described by a total of COMP + 1 coupled second order differential equations, one differential equation (8) for each component and one differential equation (9) for the temperature. It is therefore natural to introduce a simplification in order to reduce the number of differential equations, and hereby save computer time. The simplification is based upon the key component concept. Among the components present in the mixture, a key component for each reaction is selected. It will be shown that when the concentrations of the key components are known, it is possible to calculate the concentrations of the other components and the temperature in the catalyst particle. 

It has been demonstrated that the number of second order differential equations has been reduced from COMP + 1 to REAC equations by use of the key component concept. 

Figure 1.223 shows a metal stamp forming mold for sandwich forming with a clamping frame and a transformed component. Due to the compressibility of the core material, higher density deviations in the top layers can be tolerated, and local thickening can subsequently be integrated into the component concept without any mold modifications.

Note that the molecular weight dependence of the NMR relaxation times in polymer melts is generally much weaker than that of the viscosity in the same materials [52]. Even below Mbc the exponent of power laws for the molecular weight dependence of NMR relaxation times is roughly only half as large. This statement applies to molecular weights both below and above Me. The reason is that the zero-shear viscosity is dominated by component C of chain dynamics alone, whereas the NMR relaxation times are affected by components B and A as well. In the frame of the three-component concept it was concluded that the molecular weight dependence of the NMR relaxation...
