Dynamic response approximation

Many HVAC system engineering problems focus on the operation and the control of the system. In many cases, the optimization of the system s control and operation is the objective of the simulation. Therefore, the appropriate modeling of the controllers and the selected control strategies are of crucial importance in the simulation. Once the system is correctly set up, the use of simulation tools is very helpful when dealing with such problems. Dynamic system operation is often approximated by series of quasi-steady-state operating conditions, provided that the time step of the simulation is large compared to the dynamic response time of the HVAC equipment. However, for dynamic systems and plant simulation and, most important, for the realistic simulation... 

The dashed curve in Figure 9B gives the approximate, smoothed result that would have been obtained if the catalyst response were instantaneous. The area between the dashed curve and the actual response represents additional CO conversion due to the noninstantaneous dynamic response of the catalyst. This type of response is desirable because it will lead to low CO emissions when the air-fuel ratio cycles about the stoichiometric point. 

As mentioned above, it is common practice to separate a structure into its major components for purposes of simplifying the dynamic analyses. This uncoupled member by member approach approximates the actual dynamic response since dynamic iteration effects between major structural elements are not considered. Resulting calculated dynamic responses, which include deflections and support reactions, may be underestimated or overestimated, depending on the dynamic characteristics of the loading and the structure. This approximation occurs regardless of the solution method used in performing the uncoupled dynamic analyses.

Obviously by neglecting the nondominant eigenvalues, the dynamic behavior of the approximate system will be similar to the original system, since the contribution of the unretained modes will only be significant early in the dynamic response. 

The drawback of Eq. (14c) is that the integrands comprise a dynamic quantity p (f) and an induced distribution F( y). Both are perturbed by radiation field and therefore depend on its complex amplitude E. Because of that further calculations become cumbersome [18]. It is possible to overcome this drawback on the basis of a linear-response approximation. The field-induced difference 8p of the law of motion p (f) from the steady-state law p (f) is proportional to the field amplitude E. The same is supposed with respect to the difference F(y) — 1 of induced and homogeneous distributions (for the latter F = 1). A steady-state dipole s trajectory does not depend on phase y and therefore does not contribute (at F = 1) to the integral (14c). Then in a linear approximation we may represent the average7 of p (f)F(y) over y as a sum... 

The quantum mechanical forms of the correlation function expressions for transport coefficients are well known and may be derived by invoking linear response theory [64] or the Mori-Zwanzig projection operator formalism [66,67], However, we would like to evaluate transport properties for quantum-classical systems. We thus take the quantum mechanical expression for a transport coefficient as a starting point and then consider a limit where the dynamics is approximated by quantum-classical dynamics [68-70], The advantage of this approach is that the full quantum equilibrium structure can be retained. 

When the change in the solute-solvent interactions results mainly from changes in the solute charge distribution, one can employ the theory of electric polarization to formulate the dynamic response of the system. This formulation involves the nonlocal dielectric susceptibility m(r, r, i) of the solution. While this first step might lead to either the molecular or the continuum theory of solvation, in the continuum approach (r, r, t) is related approximately to the pure solvent susceptibility (r, r, t) in the portions of... 

The incentive and the main goal of this section are to consistently extend the conventional theory on the case of a nonlinear response and by that to confirm its validity. While doing that we propose practical schemes (both exact and approximate) to handle linear and cubic dynamic responses in the framework of classical superparamagnetism. Applying our results to the reported data on the nonlinear susceptibility of Cu-Co precipitates, we demonstrate that a fairly good agreement may be achieved easily. 

The operator gives the zeroth-order PE contribution to the linear response which corresponds to a static environment which does not respond to the applied perturbation, whereas the Qj2 operator describes the dynamical response of the environment due to the perturbation. Here, it is important to note that this is the fully self-consistent many-body response without approximations, as opposed to other similar implementations [24, 25]. A common approximation corresponds to the use of a block-diagonal classical response matrix (Eq. (41)) in the response calculations, thus neglecting the off-diagonal interaction tensors, whereas we include the full classical response matrix in our model. 

An alternative approach to DS study is to examine the dynamic molecular properties of a substance directly in the time domain. In the linear response approximation, the fluctuations of polarization caused by thermal motion are the same as for the macroscopic rearrangements induced by the electric field [27,28], Thus, one can equate the relaxation function < )(t) and the macroscopic dipole correlation function (DCF) V(t) as follows ... 

Having obtained the zero frequency limit of the dynamic polarizability i.e., a = Iin, o7 (—wja ), we use a simplified approach to evaluate the screened dynamic response. This is necessary, since the expression given above, Eq. (40), for the polarizability neglects the induced collective effects essentially due to direct and exchange terms of the Coulomb interaction. To treat this screening approximately, we have used the simplified approach of Bertsch et al. [96] to include the induced electron interaction in the Ceo molecule, by a simple RPA type correction [92,95]... 

Dynamic responses can be divided into the categories of selfregulating and non-self-regulating. A self-regulating response has inherent negative feedback and will always reach a new steady-state in response to an input change. Self-regulating response dynamics can be approximated with a combination of a deadtime and a first-order lag with an appropriate time constant. 

The nonequilibrium solvation function iS (Z), which is directly observable (e.g. by monitoring dynamic line shifts as in Fig. 15.2), is seen to be equal in the linear response approximation to the time correlation function, C(Z), of equilibrium fluctuations in the solvent response potential at the position of the solute ion. This provides a route for generalizing the continuum dielectric response theory of Section 15.2 and also a convenient numerical tool that we discuss further in the next section. 

Even if the manipulated variable seems to follow the controller ontput, there could be a problem with the actuator. Estimates of the actuator deadband and dynamic response are required to determine if the actuator system is performing properly (both of which can be determined by a block sine wave test). This test is shown in Figure 15.21. A block sine wave is a series of eqnally sized step changes that approximate a sine wave. For the test shown in the figure, the amplitude... 

Dynamic Response Functions. - The perturbation series formula or spectral representation of the response functions can be used only in connection with theories that incorporate experimental information relating to the excited states. Semi-empirical quantum chemical methods adapted for calculations of electronic excitation energies provide the basis for attempts at direct implementation of the sum over states (SOS) approach. There are numerous variants using the PPP,50,51 CNDO(S),52-55 INDO(S)56,57 and ZINDO58 levels of approximation. Extensive lists of publications will be found, for example, in references 5 and 34. The method has been much used in surveying the first hyperpolarizabilities of prospective optoelectronically applicable molecules, but is not a realistic starting point for quantitative calculation in un-parametrized calculations. 

Time is in minutes. The temperature transmitter has a range of 50-200°F and has a dynamic response that can be approximated by a 0.5-min first-order lag. The hot-water control valve has linear installed characteristics and passes 4 gpm when wide open. Its dynamic response is a 10-sec first-order lag.
