The above considerations have also been used to construct a simple method for the iterative solution of the linear block system (2.9). Let A denote the Jacobian approximation in (2.9) and A the associated matrix with Qy replaced by 0. Then the system Ax = h can be solved easily because of its nearly upper triangular block structure. On this basis, we constructed a fixed point iteration which is known to converge with contraction rate not greater than the spectral radius p(I — A A), Obviously, since y = 0 in the starting point xo, we will have p < 1 in some neighborhood, which can be monitored.

Scope block will report the results of the simulation. Furthermore, they will be stored in the workspace. We select a system with a step source, a time delay, a model of the system given by a simple transfer function, and a scope as final monitoring block. In order to run, we can click on the arrow (see Figure 4.29), and we obtain the results shown in Figure 4.30. 

These concepts are not maintained in shutdown. Automatic actuation is blocked. Systems are out of service because of maintenance. Operators have less instrumentation operable, and some of the key variables are even not monitored. Safety studies and engineering analysis of operational events clearly confirmed those insights.

Another possibility is to immobilise enzymes either on the sensor element itself or in the vicinity of the sensing element. The operation principle is in most cases a semi-continuous spectral difference measurement in combination with a kinetic data evaluation. A sample containing the analyte of interest is recorded by the sensor immediately after contact with the sample and again after a certain time. Provided that no other changes in the composition of the sample occur over time, the spectral differences between the two measurements are characteristic for the analyte (and the metabolic products of the enzymatic reaction) and can quantitatively evaluated. Provided that suitable enzymes are available that can be immobilised, this may be a viable option to build a sensor, in particular when the enzymatic reaction can not (easily) be monitored otherwise, e.g. by production or consumption of oxygen or a change of pH. In any case, the specific properties and stumbling blocks related to enzymatic systems must be observed (see chapter 16). 

Block valves are often controlled on the basis of analyzer results, such as area monitors for detecting solvent leaks, reactor analyzers for detecting runaway reactions (a block valve can be opened to add a reaction inhibitor or to turn on a deluge system), sewer analyzers for detecting high concentrations of contaminants, and vent analyzers to detect high levels of contaminants.
