Experimentation, continuous

The techniques most widely used for optimization may be divided into two general categories one in which experimentation continues as the optimization study proceeds, and another in which the experimentation is completed before the optimization takes place. The first type is represented by evolutionary operations and the simplex method, and the second by the more classic mathematical and search methods. (Each of these is discussed in Sec. V.)... 

Theoretical (dotted line) and experimental (continuous line) titration curves for such a mixture are shown in Figure 6.8(b). The formation of mixed crystals and solid solutions limits the accuracy to 1-2% when the halides are present in similar concentrations.

Experimental (continuous lines) and calculated Raman spectra (solid vertical bars) of [C4CjIm]Cl Crystal (1) (above) and [C4CjIm]Br (below) are shown (Adapted from Hamaguchi, H., and Ozawa, R., Adv. Chem. Phys., 131, 85-104, 2005 Ozawa, R., Hayashi, S., Saha, S., Kobayashi, A., and Hamaguchi, H., Chem. Lett. 32,948-949,2003. With permission.)...

We found approximately 2-4 grams of caprylic, 2-5 grams of capric, and 1-2 grams of lauric acid/100 liters in our experimental continuous still beverage brandies but usually less than 1 gram of each per 100 liters in unaged commercial brandy distillates (II). New commercial brandy distillates made from fortified wine contain less than those distilled from straight dry wine. Distillates from a continuous vacuum column and a pilot pot still also contain less. 

In Figure 2, dN/dW is plotted as a function of W for two series of commercial samples withdrawn from an experimental continuous reactor line in which butadiene and styrene were copolymerized in emulsion using a 1500-type recipe at 5°C. The conversion marking the onset of predominant crosslinking is given by the point at which the curves cut the W axis—that is, at 53 and 57% conversions. 

The four-dimensional model simulates the oscillatory behavior of an experimental continuous fermentor quite successfully in the high feed sugar concentration region.

Methylene chloride was not used in the separation because of concern for its potential catalyst deactivation role in the subsequent series of experiments to be undertaken. Experimental continuous reactor conditions were a 3 1 slurry of tetralin coal to which an iron (278 30 mmol kg dry coal from FeS0i. 7H20) and tin (20 mmol kg dry coal from SnCl2.2H20) catalyst had been added. The reaction temperature was 400 C with a developed pressure of 10 MPa and a residence time from 15 to 40 minutes. 

Polymers, which include synthetic materials such as plastics, vinyl, Nylon, polyester, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and natural materials such as silk, cotton, starch and cellulose, are used in our lives every day. Since scientists began to control and manipulate polymers in the 19th Century, chemists have created hundreds of durable synthetic polymeric materials from just a few simple building blocks. Experimentation continues today with increasing polymer uses for applications in chemical, instrumentation, mechanical, electrical and electronic industries.

An experimental continuous culture system with an internal gas supply has been developed by Schuster (Schlegel et al, 1967 Schuster... 

In our early work [31], a qualitative argument was given to show how to extract the density distribution from the experimental Continuous Curve Q T). Here we present a quantitative derivation. It is noted that Q T) is a special form of NB(T, t) with... 

In future military apphcations, electromagnetic technologies wiU play a role that is as important as its present role. Communications and intelligence, as well as analytical reconnaissance, wiU benefit from the development of new and existing electromagnetic technologies. Weaponry, also, may become an important field of military electromj netic technology, as experimentation continues toward the development...

Figure 2.25 Comparison of theoretical (dashed) and experimental (continuous) profiles for an electrospun glycerol jet, for various voltages and flow rates. Here the two plate electrodes (Figure 2.23a) are 6 cm apart, and the die protrudes by 7.2 mm from the top electrode. Beneath each plot there are the theoretical healing length and the experimental healing length, normalized to the outer diameter of the nozzle (here about 800 pm). The healing length is the axial interval over which the initial jet radius decreases by a factor of lie. Reproduced with permission from Ref. 48, Phys. Fluids, 2001, 13, 2221-2236.

Fig. 10 Comparison between theory (black dots) and experimental continuous wave EPR signal at 9,7 GHz (Ref. 66). (b) Calculated EPR spectra are seen to line up with the experimental spectrum at 9.7 GHz. Cancellation resonances are labelled 0,1,2,3,4,5,7 with arrows. Some transitions are labelled, e.g. "10 -> 9" corresponds to the transition from state 10> to state 9> as defined above in Fig. 9. Reprinted with permission from M. H. Mohammady, G. W. Morley and T.

While XP-1 offers an improvement in performance of vinyl for the graphic arts industry, experimentation continued in attempt to improve the performance of the plasticizer. The result of that effort was XP-2. XP-2 was evaluated in a basic formulation and the results of the testing are listed in Table 4.
