Growth specific form

Gaseous corrosion is a general form of corrosion whereby a metal is exposed to a gas (usually at elevated temperatures). Direct oxidation of a metal in air is the most common cause. Cast iron growth is a specific form of gaseous corrosion in which corrosion products accumulate onto the metal surface (and particularly at grain boundaries) to the extent that they cause visible thickening of the metal. The entire metal thickness may succumb to this before loss of strength causes failure. 

Rate equations of the form f(a) = kt are derived through integrations of specific forms of the generalized expression [ 28] representing the summation of the growth of all nuclei, so that the volume of product at time f, V(t), is given by... 

The deactivation of these several forms of catalyst (separated but supported active oxide, epitaxial oxide growth, or mixed metal oxide) can occur by the transformation of the active (catalytic) form to either of the other forms of solid. Alternately, the active form of the catalyst may involve a specific form of the metal oxide, just as the oxidation state of the metal and the irreversible oxidation or reduction of the metal (even in the same solid lattice) may cause deactivation. Our current understanding of SCR de-NOx catalysts is not detailed enough to know the nature of the active phase precisely for all forms of active catalysts. However, several researchers have analyzed their results often with a specific perspective as to the active form of the catalyst.

The specific form of the crystal is controlled by how rapidly various faces are developed (grow) and this depends on the internal forces in the unit cell, the environment in which the crystal grows, the concentration of the ions in solution, and the temperature and pressure. Figure 102 shows a cubic stacking of isometric unit cells, as well as three other symmetries that result from stacking of the same isometric unit ceU in different directions. The different rates of growth of different faces are also shown in Figure 103 where a cube-... 

We will focus on two specific forms of computational inspiration that are particularly promising for inventive engineers. First, we will discuss evolutionary computation (EC), which is inspired by the mechanisms of the evolution of natural systems. Next, we will overview cellular automata, which are inspired by the mechanisms of growth in natural systems.
