Critical case problems

Goetsch, David I., and Stanley B. Davis. ISO 14000 Environmental Management. Upper Saddle River, N.J. Prentice Hall, 2000. - Publisher information says that this book is written as a practical teaching resource and how-to guide. Each chapter contains a list of key concepts, review questions, critical thinking problems, and discussion cases with related questions. 

In molecules with heteroatoms there is always some charge separation. In these cases, and more importantly with compounds that include charged metal ions, electrostatic effects may be critical. The problem is that, apart from some recent and, at least in the area of coordination chemistry, not fully tested methods,8 there are no simple and accurate methods to calculate partial charges empirically. 

The critical-speed problem may in some cases be solved hand in hand with a common problem related to dynamic loads. One source of dynamic loads on an agitator shaft is the waves and vortices that occur when an impeller operates near the liquid surface, such as when a tank fills or empties.

One of the main conditions in the theorem on the passage to the limit is the condition for the existence of an isolated root z =

singularly perturbed equations, and particularly in most problems of chemical kinetics, this condition is not satisfied because the reduced equation does not have an isolated root. Instead, it has a family of solutions depending on one or several parameters. This case will be called the critical case. 

It turns out that under suitable conditions, the asymptotics for both the initial value problem and the boundary value problem in the critical case have the same form as in Sections II.B and III.A. In particular, the solution of the initial value problem approaches one of the solutions of the reduced equation in the limit as /x. 0. But the algorithm for constructing the asymptotic expansion undergoes some changes. 

In practice, it often turns out that the system (4.28) has a family of solutions that depends on one or more arbitrary parameters. Thus, the problem for the singularly perturbed equation (4.27) is the nonlinear critical case. 

For some problems of type (5.4a) a phase plane cell occurs for any T. In such (critical) cases, under certain conditions, a solution of the form shown in Fig. 10 can also be constructed [4]. The equation defining Tq will be more complicated than (5.17) ((5.17) will be satisfied identically in such cases) ... 

For the first order, we have , = 0, and is an arbitrary function. At the next step of the asymptotic algorithm, we obtain (a typical situation for problems in the critical case) the equation for the as yet unknown function... 

For the singular perturbation analysis of some other chemical kinetics problems in the critical case see, for example, [35]. 

Thus, the leading terms 0 and Vf, of the regular part of the asymptotic expansion depend on the as yet unknown function o(0- This means that (9.2), (9.3) is a problem in the critical case the corresponding reduced system has a family of solutions. 

One effective method I have used is to conduct a two-hour training seminar either before lunch or at the end of the day. In the first hour, workers are provided with basic information that they need to remember or look up during normal calm facility operations. Then the second hour is competitive, where you drum in the critical decisions, problems and value tradeoffs. Using cases, scenarios and role-playing during this competition makes it even more memorable. Then trainees have time off when the new learning can be consolidated.

This paper presents solutions of two different NDT problems which could not be solved using standard ultrasonic systems and methods. The first problem eoncems the eraek detection in the root of turbine blades in a specified critical zone. The second problem concerns an ultrasonie thiekness measurement for a case when the sound velocity varies along the object surface, thus not allowing to take a predetermined eonstant velocity into account.
