Consistency index calculation

Analysis of this type of classifier (15) suggests that the sharpness index is between 0.5 and 0.6, consistent with calculated results, because the degree of turbulence can be high in these devices (16). A DSF Dorr classifier (1.8 m x 7 m), operating at 19 strokes per minute and having a weir depth of 100 cm and a slope of 19.4 cm/m, produced a cut size equal to 240 im, a sharpness index of 0.5, and an apparent bypass of approximately 26% when the water split was 26% (15). 

The consistency index constant, Kpl, and the consistency index number, ft, were calculated for all corn stover suspensions, using linear regression. The results are presented in Table 1. All of the regression coefficients are above 0.99. The parameters are independent of the method of measuring rheologic data and dependent on the fluid. 

For the numerical calculation of the pressure drop, as well as the velocity held, one must iterate the pressure at every radial position until the how rate in the cavity is the same as that across the tube entrance. In both Eqs. 13.1-4 and 13.1-5, the consistency index m varies with z, since the temperature varies in the thickness direction. Two boundary conditions used in the energy equation are of interest. At the advancing front r = rlk, the heat transferred to the air in the mold dictates that the term 2r, h(Tn -Ta)/(rjk — rfk, ) be included in the right-hand side of Eq. 13.1-2, where h is the heat-transfer coefficient to the air. At the mold wall... 

The same procedures were used to calculate shear stresses and pseudo shear rates for all the data. A plot of log versus log ow shown in Figure 3-16 and from linear regression of the data the slope (n ) and the intercept (K ) were calculated to be 0.40 and 3.17 Pa s". Because o = n, the power law flow behavior index, the consistency index K was evaluated from ... 

The fibre pattern obtained for a particular sample of polyoxymethy-lene -fCH2—using X-rays of wavelength 0.154 nm exhibits equatorial reflections at angles of 21.9°, 37.7° and 23.2°. Show that these spots may be consistently indexed as the (110), (200) and (020) reflections, respectively, of an orthorhombic unit cell. The first layer line corresponds to the angle 25.6° and the unit cell contains four repeat units. Calculate the density of the crystalline material. 

To calculate the Inconsistency Rate (Ir) we must compare the Consistency Index (C/) with a called Random consistency Index (Rj). 

The viscous temperature rise with isothermal conditions is plotted against the flight clearance in Fig. 11.25. The isothermal viscous temperature rise data were calculated for a 114 mm extruder running at 100 rpm with a polymer melt with a consistency index of m = 10 Pa s and a thermal conductivity k = 0.25 J/m-s°C. 

A slurry exhibiting power-law flow behaviour is flowing through 15 m of pipe having an inside diameter of 5 cm at an average velocity of 0.07 m /s. The density of the slurry is 1050 kg/m and its flow index and consistency index are n = 0.4 and k = 13.4Ns° /m, respectively. Calculate the pressure drop in the pipeline. 

Note N = number of taxa Chars. = alignable characters I = informative alignable characters % Inf. = percentage of informative alignable characters C.I. = consistency index value, calculated without autapomorphies R.I. = retention index value MPTs = most parsimonious trees from all identified tree islands (see Materials and Methods) Steps = steps in parsimonious trees Clades = clades resolved of those in the all-genes consensus tree value (Hillis, 1991). 

The number of nucleotide substitutions or the consistency index at each site of the different sequence data sets were calculated using the CHART STATE CHANGES AND STASIS option in MacClade (Maddison and Maddison 1992). Parameters were estimated from the traditional morphology-based tree (Eignre 9.1) using nonoverlapping 20-bp windows, and the maximum parsimony method with 1000 random... 

Figure 9.10 Maximum (open bar) and minimum (filled bars) inferred number of amino acid changes and the consistency index per site over the entire alignment of the mitochondrial proteins calculated for non-over lapping 20-bp windows using maximum parimony, and the CHART STATE CHANGES AND STASIS option is MacClade (Maddison and Maddison 1992).

Risk of the system not being able to deliver required energy to each load point can be calculated based on probability, expected frequency and consequences of all consistencies. Several risk indices can be derived from these results, the main risk index calculated in Promaps being system minutes, SMS. System minutes are the expected energy shortage normalized on the size of the power grid. 

Consistency evaluation. As stated by Saaty, local priorities make sense only if arising from consistent or near consistent matrices. As a consequence, a consistency check on opinions expressed by the decision maker needs to be performed. Saaty proposed a Consistency Index (Cl) calculated as follows (1) ... 

Saturation index calculations made as part of a species distribution problem allow an assessment to be made of the effect of organic acids on the likely state of heterogeneous equilibria in an aqueous system (see Drever 1988, for discussion and definitions). By comparing saturation indices for minerals in systematically different waters we can predict the likely behavior of these minerals in the presence of organic acids. The predictions about mineral stability vary with the precise constraints that are placed on the calculations, in particular whether the cations are constrained to be in equilibrium with a mineral phase or set as a total concentration, the temperature, the partial pressure of CO2, and the anionic composition of the water. Conclusions that differ from those presented here may be possible, nevertheless, some consistent trends emerge that are related to observations made in the preceding section about speciation. 

According to the data from an interference picture, determination of the refractive index profile by cross-section of the gradient element consists of calculation of the function A =... 

At each sampling instant, a control policy consisting of the next m control moves is calculated. The control calculations are based on minimizing a quadratic or linear performance index over the prediction horizon while satisfying the constraints.
