Direct applications

It is evident that application of Green s theorem cannot eliminate second-order derivatives of the shape functions in the set of working equations of the least-sc[uares scheme. Therefore, direct application of these equations should, in general, be in conjunction with C continuous Hermite elements (Petera and Nassehi, 1993 Petera and Pittman, 1994). However, various techniques are available that make the use of elements in these schemes possible. For example, Bell and Surana (1994) developed a method in which the flow model equations are cast into a set of auxiliary first-order differentia] equations. They used this approach to construct a least-sciuares scheme for non-Newtonian flow equations based on equal-order C° continuous, p-version hierarchical elements.

Direct Application Rock. Finely ground phosphate rock has had limited use as a direct-appHcation fertilizer for many years. There have been widely varying results. Direct appHcation of phosphate rock worldwide amounts to about 8% of total fertilizer phosphate used, primarily in the former Soviet Union, France, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The agronomic effectiveness of an apatitic rock depends not only on the fineness of the grind but also strongly on the innate reactivity of the rock and the acidity of the sod performance is better on more acid sods. Probably more than half of the potentially productive tropical sods are acidic, some with pH as low as 3.5—4.5. Certain phosphate rocks may thus become increasingly important as fertilizer in those areas. The International Fertilizer Development Center at Muscle Shoals, Alabama is active in researching this field (30).

Many of the functional relationships needed in thermodynamics are direct applications of the rules of multivariable calciilus. This section reviews those rules in the context of the needs of themodynamics. These ideas were expounded in one of the classic books on chemical engineering thermodynamics... 

Alternative Property Formulations Direct application of Eqs. (4-159) and (4-161) can be made only to equations of state that are solvable for volume, that is, that are volume explicit. Most equations of state are in fact pre.s.sure explicit, and alternative equations are required. 

Direct application of these results is possible only to equations of state explicit in volume. For pressure-explicit equations of state, alternative recipes are required. The basis is Eq. (4-82), which iu view of Eq. (4-157) may be written...

This suggests that only in cases where the perturbation energy Vba is very small on average (on the order oikT 1 kcal/mol) will Eq. (8) be directly applicable. More often, the transformation from A to B must be divided into several discrete steps, say n, to each of which corresponds a perturbation energy on the order of which can be made... 

One of the major uses of molecular simulation is to provide useful theoretical interpretation of experimental data. Before the advent of simulation this had to be done by directly comparing experiment with analytical (mathematical) models. The analytical approach has the advantage of simplicity, in that the models are derived from first principles with only a few, if any, adjustable parameters. However, the chemical complexity of biological systems often precludes the direct application of meaningful analytical models or leads to the situation where more than one model can be invoked to explain the same experimental data. 

If it is assumed that explosible dust will be present above the MEC, and equipment design data are not required, explosibility testing forP g, and Kg usually has no direct application. However, minimum ignition energy (MIE) testing should be considered to help determine the likelihood of ignition. Since MIE is extremely sensitive to particle size it is especially important to test a sample that is sufficiently fine to represent the worst credible case. 

The names or acronyms given to many applications are not easily recognized for the applications ability to meet a particular need. The list therefore includes several types of systems that have no direct applicability to SARA requirements (e.g., wastewater treatment plant optimization assistance with ordering chemicals). The creation of a comprehensive list of environmented applications provides a higher level of assurance that software that is relevant to Title III has not been overlooked. The list can also be used to eliminate systems from the review process and reduce the effort needed to identify a system that has the required capabilities.

A strong background in elasticity is required for solution of problems in micromechanics of composite materials. Many of the available papers are quite abstract and of little direct applicability to practical analysis at this stage of development of elasticity approaches to micromechanics. Even the more sophisticated bounding approaches are a bit obscure. 

Experiments in tubes are not directly applicable to vapor cloud explosions. An overview of research in tubes is, however, included for historical reasons. An understanding of flame-acceleration mechanisms evolved from these experiments because this mechanism is very effective in tubes. 

Motivational campaigns are one way of dealing with routine violations (see Section 2.5.1.1). They are not directly applicable to those human errors which are caused by design errors and mismatches between the human and the task. These categories of errors will be discussed in more detail in later sections. 

The data are very comprehensive with direct applications to reliability, risk, and event analysis of nuclear power plants. Information has been assembled on failure frequency, modes, repairs, and maintenance. Rate Information is based on demands calculated. The time period covered varies from the early 1970 s to the present. Using real time access, the output format if the event can be varied by selection of 20 generic and detailed categories.

CaNCN is used as a direct application fertilizer, weed killer, and cotton defoliant it is also used for producing cyanamide, dicyandiamide and melamine plastics. Production formerly exceeded 1.3 million tonnes pa, but this has fallen considerably in the last few years, particularly in the USA where the use of CaNCN as a nitrogenous fertilizer has been replaced by other materials. In 1990 most of the world s supply was made in Japan, Gennany and Canada. 

These properties can be partly produced by fiber disgestion (steam explosion, steam pressure, thaw roasting process, water roasting process [8,9]), as well as by a direct application to the fiber.
