Dynamic-system synthesis models

This is, in essence, the realm of control system synthesis for an entire plant. What issues do we need to consider What is of essential importance within this immense amount of detail How does the dynamic behavior of the interconnected plant differ from that of the individual unit operations What, if anything, do we need to model or test How do we even begin ... 

OMOLA (Andersson, 1989 Nilsson, 1993) was designed to support the model generation and simulation needs during the computer-aided synthesis and analysis of control systems. It is oriented toward the creation of structured dynamic systems. Its main features can be summarized as follows ...

Let s formulate the description of the modem catastrophe theory in the form of interpretation of the dynamic system of emergency situations control. Plotting the theoretical basis of the system within the frame of this theory is defined by original axioms. All the rest statements of the theory are logical conclusions of axioms. In the basis of the axiomatic synthesis of models of catastrophes lies the method of interpretation. Each definition and relation of the system s axiomatic theory is correspondent to some formalized description.

Monomer concentrations Ma a=, ...,m) in a reaction system have no time to alter during the period of formation of every macromolecule so that the propagation of any copolymer chain occurs under fixed external conditions. This permits one to calculate the statistical characteristics of the products of copolymerization under specified values Ma and then to average all these instantaneous characteristics with allowance for the drift of monomer concentrations during the synthesis. Such a two-stage procedure of calculation, where first statistical problems are solved before dealing with dynamic ones, is exclusively predetermined by the very specificity of free-radical copolymerization and does not depend on the kinetic model chosen. The latter gives the explicit dependencies of the instantaneous statistical characteristics on monomers concentrations and the rate constants of the elementary reactions. 

The combination of careful chemical synthesis with NSE and SANS experiments sheds some light on the fast relaxation processes observed in the collective dynamics of block copolymers melts. The results reveal the existence of an important driving force acting on the junction points at and even well above the ODT. Modelling the surface forces by an expression for the surface tension, it was possible to describe the NSE spectra consistently. The experimental surface tension agrees reasonably well with the Helfand predictions, which are strictly valid only in the strong-segregation hmit. Beyond that, these data are a first example for NSE experiments on the interface dynamics in a bulk polymer system.
