Integrability. Criterion

The important point is that the final value of the integral depends only on the two endpoints, i.e., the value of the function z at (x, yi) and (x2, y2), but not the chosen path of integration (as illustrated in Sidebar 1.4). Moreover, in the special case of a cyclic integral (denoted ), where initial and final limits coincide, the integral (1.15) necessarily vanishes for an exact differential, independent of how the cyclic path is chosen. We can therefore state the following integral criterion for exactness ... 

This is employed when the process is not well-known. The Model Reference Adaptive Controller contains a reference model to which the command signal or set point change is applied as well as to the process itself (Fig. 7.98)<4 ). The output of the reference model is postulated as the desired controlled process output and this is compared with the actual process output. The difference (or error) e , between the two outputs is used to adjust the controller parameters so as to minimise the relevant integral criterion. For example, if the ISE criterion is employed then the quantity... 

For the same time integral criterion, different input changes lead to different designs. 

The MINLP model is using additional annual profit of heat and power integration criterions. The additional annual income of integration sums up the additional savings of fuel, 5 bar steam, 8 bar steam, cooling water and 37 bar steam and electricity production. 

Although a torsion test is simple to carry out, it is not commonly accepted as an integral part of a material specification furthermore, few torsion data exist in handbooks. If, as is usually the case, the design needs to be based on tensile data, then a criterion of elastic failure has to be invoked, and this introduces some uncertainty in the calculated yield pressure (8). 

The more quickly and completely a fiber recovers from an imposed strain, the more nearly perfectly elastic it is. The ratio of the instantaneous elastic deformation to the total deformation may be used as a criterion of elasticity (62). The integrated divergences from a theoretical graph of perfect elasticity versus elongation is also used as a criterion for determination of the elasticity index. 

Celata et al. (2005) evaluated the effect of viscous heating on friction factor for flow of an incompressible fluid in a micro-channel. By integrating the energy equation over the micro-channel length, a criterion that determines conditions when viscous dissipation effect is signiflcant was obtained ... 

In more modem terms, the "Rayleigh criterion" states that positive energy is transferred to the acoushc wave if the pressure fluctuation and heat release fluctuation are in phase. This criterion is usually written in an integral form ... 

Even in the case of standard reactors such as stirred tanks and bubble columns, lack of knowledge in this area limits our ability to use particle stress as a selection criterion. The reasons for this lack of knowledge are, on the one hand, that the velocity fields in the reactors, which would allow a certain prediction, can only be obtained by sophisticated measurements and measurement techniques, and on the other hand, the stress on particles becomes evident only as an integral result of a long term process.
