First, an excitation sequence is designed by 1 -spin-flip optimization of the energy, as defined in Eq. (75), whose power spectrum peaks around the rate of the middle process, corresponding to M=50 kg/mol, and falls off at lower and higher frequencies. Next, a digital filter F is constructed, which suppresses frequencies above and below the interesting frequency band. Figure 37 shows a sketch of the procedure with the excitation, the filter function, and the rate distribution. 

Mathematical transformations of the original data can be used for filtering if the transformed data are multiplied by appropriate filter functions and are subsequently back-transformed into the original data domain. Most frequently, the Fourier transformation (FT) is applied. In addition, we will also learn about Hadamard transformation (HT).

To verify the modelling of the data eolleetion process, calculations of SAT 4, in the entrance window of the XRII was compared to measurements of RNR p oj in stored data as function of tube potential. The images object was a steel cylinder 5-mm) with a glass rod 1-mm) as defect. X-ray spectra were filtered with 0.6-mm copper. Tube current and exposure time were varied so that the signal beside the object. So, was kept constant for all tube potentials. Figure 8 shows measured and simulated SNR oproj, where both point out 100 kV as the tube potential that gives a maximum. Due to overestimation of the noise in calculations the maximum in the simulated values are normalised to the maximum in the measured values. Once the model was verified it was used to calculate optimal choice of filter materials and tube potentials, see figure 9. 

This deposit is composed of suspended particles similar to conventional filter cakes, and more importantly, a slime that forms as retained solutes exceed their solubility. The gel concentration 6 is a function of the feed composition and the membrane-pore size. The gel usually has a much lower hydrauHc permeabihty and smaller apparent pore size than the underlying membrane (27). The gel layer and the concentration gradient between the gel layer and the bulk concentration are called the gel-polarization layer. 

The pressure drop through the filter is a function of two separate effects. The clean filter has some initial pressure drop. This is a function of filter material, depth of the filter, the superficial gas velocity, which is the gas velocity perpendicular to the filter face, and the viscosity of the gas. Added to the clean filter resistance is the resistance that occurs when the adhering particles form a cake on the filter surface. This cake increases in thickness as approximately a linear function of time, and the pressure difference necessary to cause the same gas flow also becomes a linear function with time. Usually, the pressure available at the filter is limited so that as the cake builds up the flow decreases. Filter cleaning can be based, therefore, on (1) increased pressure drop across the filter, (2) decreased volume of gas flow, or (3) time elapsed since the last cleaning. 

Critical speeds correspond to the natural frequencies of the gears and the rotor bearings support system. A determination of the critical speed is made by knowing the natural frequency of the system and the forcing function. Typical forcing functions are caused by rotor unbalance, oil filters, misalignment, and a synchronous whirl. 

Porosity constitutes a important criterion in a description based on straining. Porosity is determined by the formula V /Vc, in which V c is the total or apparent volume limitated by the filter wall and is the free volume between the particles. The porosity of a filter layer changes as a function of the operation time of the filters. The grains become thicker because of the adherence of material removed from the water, whether by straining or by some other fixative mechanism of particles on the filtering sand. Simultaneously the interstices between the grains diminish in size. This effect assists the filtration process, in particular for slow sand filters, where a deposit is formed as a skin or layer of slime that has settled on the... 

LCO analyses provide an excellent tool for minimizing the filter costs of a plant. As in the case of LCA, the operation and low pressure loss are absolutely decisive as regards the costs of the filter function. 

For filter design and performance prediction it is necessary to predict the rate of filtration (velocity or volumetric flowrate) as a function of pressure drop, and the properties of the fluid and particulate bed. This can be achieved using the modified Darcy equation developed in Chapter 3. 

As our first example we shall define what is known as a gaussian Markov process. This process, as we shall see later, is a good model for thermal noise or vacuum-tube-generated noise that has been passed through an RC filter with time constant a 1. We begin by defining two functions / and Q as follows... 

Powdered resins systems (80-600 mesh) typically operate at lower pressure drops, generate less waste water, take up less space, and cost much less when compared to deep-bed polishers. However, they operate at only 3 to 4 gpm sq ft (although the filter element area is large) and are designed to be disposable, so that the powdered resin must be replaced whenever the bed is reconditioned. Sometimes inert resins or cellulose-based fibers are used either in place of powdered resins or as a premix, where they function as both filter aids and absorbents.
