Error analysis pressure

Establishment of the error analysis and deviation of the experimentally measured values resulting from random and systematic errors in the present investigation has been made previously by Jaques and Furter (28). The fluctuations in the barometric pressure are indicated in Tables I-XVI for each system, and... 

Analysis of the stability of the signal at constant pressure versus time reveals that the relative error in pressure for analysis periods t < 2 s is dominated by the inaccuracy of the calibration parameter Z,oeo (caused by thermal drifts during the long calibration runs) rather than vibrational contributions or thermal effects upon analysis itself Fig. 4 shows the comparison of the signals detected via the Baratron differential transducer and the...

All chemistries were determined by the clinical laboratory at the University of Utah Medical Center. A detailed error analysis shows the range of errors for clearance value to be between 10% at the start of dialysis and 15% at the end of dialysis. Oncotic pressures were measured with a colloid osmometer (Model 186, Instrumentation Laboratories, Boston MA) to 0.2 mm Hg. 

If P2 - P = 200 MPa and T = 298 K, we need a precision of 3 per cent in the rate measurements to achieve 8(AT ) = 0.5 cm moT. It is some help that the slope is derived not from just two points but from a least squares fit to several points, but the slope is heavily influenced by the extreme values. Overall, a 3 per cent precision is not an easy goal if it is to represent a 95 or 99 per cent confidence interval and imply conscientious tests for systematic errors at that level. This error analysis shows why the pressure range cannot be reduced to much less than 200 MPa and still yield the desired precision. One would prefer a bigger range, were it not for the fact that the curvature, or uncertainty about the curvature, in the plots makes a large range less useful. 

Values of the second virial coefficient of ethylene for temperatures between 0° and 175°C have been determined to an estimated accuracy of 0.2 cm3/mol or less from low-pressure Burnett PVT measurements. Our values, from —167 to —52 cm3/mol, agree within an average of 0.2 cm3/mol with those recently obtained by Douslin and Harrison from a distinctly different experiment. This close agreement reflects the current state of the art for the determination of second virial coefficient values. The data and error analysis of the Burnett method are discussed. 

In Chapter 1, the rales of nomenclature are reviewed— units of physical quantities, abbreviations, conversion between SI and British Units— and the various national and international standards bureaus are mentioned. Chapter 2 introduces significant figures and concepts of accuracy, precision and error analysis. Experimental planning is discussed in some detail in Chapter 3. This subject is enormous and we try to distil the essential elements to be able to use the techniques. Chapters 4 and 5 cover many aspects of measuring pressure and temperature. The industrial context is often cited to provide the student with a picture of the importance of these measurements and some of the issues with making adequate measurements. Flow measurement instrumentation is the subject of Chapter 6. A detailed list of the pros and cons of most commercial... 

Heardman et al. [11] described a radial flow method to measure permeability under transient flow, where neither the pressure nor the flow-rate is considered constant. They obtained good agreement with experiments using the normal constant pressure setup for assemblies of woven fabrics. They also showed that, using error analysis on the equation used to calculate permeability, the estimated error due to the parameters used to determine permeability (e g. pressure, viscosity and time) is in the range of 8-16%. However, they did not quantify the range of measured permeability values for their reinforcements and hence did not compare it to the estimated error. 

Sizing of the restriction orifice depends on the maximum allowable flow rate (to keep the downstream pressure within the design pressure limit) and minimum orifice size (so that the orifice does not get blocked from impurities). It is in fact a trial-and-error analysis. 

The first two examples show that the interaction of the model parameters and database parameters can lead to inaccurate estimates of the model parameters. Any use of the model outside the operating conditions (temperature, pressures, compositions, etc.) upon which the estimates are based will lead to errors in the extrapolation. These model parameters are effec tively no more than adjustable parameters such as those obtained in linear regression analysis. More comphcated models mav have more subtle interactions. Despite the parameter ties to theoiy, tliey embody not only the uncertainties in the plant data but also the uncertainties in the database. 

Single-Module Analysis Consider the single-module unit shown in Fig. 30-10. If the measurements were complete, they would consist of compositions, flows, temperatures, and pressures. These would contain significant random and systematic errors. Consequently, as collected, they do not close the constraints of the unit being studied. The measurements are only estimates of the actual plant operation. If the actual operation were known, the analyst could prepare a scatter diagram comparing the measurements to the actual values, which is a useful analysis tool Figure 30-19 is an example. 

There are two main approaches to its solution. Traditional approach is based on preliminary separation of UGC samples to gaseous and liquid phases and their subsequent analyses [1]. This approach is well-developed and it allows obtaining quite precise results being used properly. However, this method is relatively complicated. Multi-stage procedure is a source of potential errors, then, it makes the analyses quite time consuming. More progressive approach is based on the direct analysis of the pressurized UGC samples. In both cases the determination of heavy hydrocarbons (up to C ) is made by capillary gas chromatography. 

The well-known difficulty with batch reactors is the uncertainty of the initial reaction conditions. The problem is to bring together reactants, catalyst and operating conditions of temperature and pressure so that at zero time everything is as desired. The initial reaction rate is usually the fastest and most error-laden. To overcome this, the traditional method was to calculate the rate for decreasingly smaller conversions and extrapolate it back to zero conversion. The significance of estimating initial rate was that without any products present, rate could be expressed as the function of reactants and temperature only. This then simplified the mathematical analysis of the rate fianction. 

It should be mentioned that the results in Table 10-6 were obtained only after experience had taught that the adjustment drum must be pressed inward for the most precise results. Early trials in which such pressure was not exerted gave reset errors ten times as large. The value of the analysis of variance is thus proved. 

It is important to consider the complex nature of the vapors in both oxide systems. Any analysis which considers only the dioxide partial pressures, or approximates the total pressures as a dioxide pressure, will be seriously in error. 

The apphed pretreatment techniques were digestion with a combination of acids in the pressurized or atmospheric mode, programmed dry ashing, microwave digestion and irradiation with thermal neutrons. The analytical methods of final determination, at least four different for each element, covered all modern plasma techniques, various AAS modes, voltammetry, instrumental and radiochemical neutron activation analysis and isotope dilution MS. Each participating laboratory was requested to make a minimum of five independent rephcate determinations of each element on at least two different bottles on different days. Moreover, a series of different steps was undertaken in order to ensure that no substantial systematic errors were left undetected.
