The benefit of such a model is that better understanding of the wave propagation process may be gained. Also, it is possible to make controlled parameter studies in order to understand the influence of e.g. defect orientation, probe angle and frequency on the test results. Results may be presented as A-, B- or C-scans. 

The sensitivity to defects and other control parameters can be improved by optimizing the choice of the probe. It appears, after study of different types of probes (ferritic, wild steel, insulator) with different geometries (dish, conical,. ..), necessary to underline that the success of a feasibility research, largely depends on a suitable definition of measure collectors, so that they are adapted to the considered problem.

The aim of the work we present in this paper is to optimize the control parameters used in particles magnetic and interpret the obtained results. Experiments are performed on samples of welds or materials containing known defects. The realized and tested defects are grooves situated at different depths with variables dimensions. Other types of defects have been studied (inclusions, lack of penetration, etc.).

Altliough tire behaviour of colloidal suspensions does in general depend on temperature, a more important control parameter in practice tends to be tire particle concentration, often expressed as tire volume fraction ((). In fact, for hard- sphere suspensions tire phase behaviour is detennined by ( ) only. For spherical particles... 

The next problem to consider is how chaotic attractors evolve from tire steady state or oscillatory behaviour of chemical systems. There are, effectively, an infinite number of routes to chaos [25]. However, only some of tliese have been examined carefully. In tire simplest models tliey depend on a single control or bifurcation parameter. In more complicated models or in experimental systems, variations along a suitable curve in the control parameter space allow at least a partial observation of tliese well known routes. For chemical systems we describe period doubling, mixed-mode oscillations, intennittency, and tire quasi-periodic route to chaos.

The use of the single parameter, K, to define the stress field at the crack tip is justified for brittle materials, but its extension to ductile materials is based on the assumption that although some plasticity may occur at the tip the surrounding linear elastic stress field is the controlling parameter. 

The four process control parameters are temperature, pressure, flow, and level. Modem process level detection systems are varied and ubiquitous in modem chemical plants there are thousands of processes requiring Hquid level indication and Hquid level control. From accumulators to wet wells, the need for level devices is based on the need for plant efficiency, safety, quaUty control, and data logging. Unfortunately, no single level measurement technology works rehably on all chemical plant appHcations. This fact has spawned a broad selection of level indication and control device technologies, each of which operates successfully on specific appHcations. 

Adaptive Control. An adaptive control strategy is one in which the controller characteristics, ie, the algorithm or the control parameters within it, are automatically adjusted for changes in the dynamic characteristics of the process itself (34). The incentives for an adaptive control strategy generally arise from two factors common in many process plants (/) the process and portions thereof are really nonlinear and (2) the process state, environment, and equipment s performance all vary over time. Because of these factors, the process gain and process time constants vary with process conditions, eg, flow rates and temperatures, and over time. Often such variations do not cause an unacceptable problem. In some instances, however, these variations do cause deterioration in control performance, and the controllers need to be retuned for the different conditions. 

Test symp for quaUty control parameters, and release to production if analysis is satisfactory. 

The presence of contaminant metals on the equiUbrium catalyst can significantly increase the catalyst coking tendency, which in turn results in an increase in regenerator temperature if all other factors remain unchanged. As one example, if the metals on an FCCU equiUbrium catalyst increased from an equivalent-nickel value of 2000 wt ppm to 3500 wt ppm, the catalyst coke factor would increase 30—50%. If all controllable parameters remained constant, the regenerator temperature would be expected to increase 35—50°C and conversion would drop. 

The bulk viscosity control parameter for CSM, as with other elastomers, is molecular weight M and molecular-weight distribution (MWD). Mooney viscosity for CSM is determined by selection of the polyethylene precursor. 

The process for manufacture of a chloroprene sulfur copolymer, Du Pont type GN, illustrates the principles of the batch process (77,78). In this case, sulfur is used to control polymer molecular weight. The copolymer formed initially is carried to fairly high conversion, gelled, and must be treated with a peptising agent to provide a final product of the proper viscosity. Key control parameters are the temperature of polymerisation, the conversion of monomer and the amount/type of modifier used.
