Tests, operational, for the

All the results are summarized in Fig. 23 and serve as the first positive operational test for the McConnell theory. It is also noted that the orientational mode of stacking of spin-containing benzene rings can be useful in aligning spins parallel or antiparallel between high-spin aromatic molecules. 

ABSTRACT The paper is structured in three parts. In the first part, it is made a brief presentation of the two variants of driving, automation and protection systems (DAPS), applied in low power hydroelectric plants (LPHP). In the second part there are given the results of electric and mechanic stress s operational tests for the two variants of DAPS. In the third part there are described the results of operational reliability and availability made for a LPHP, as well as comments and conclusions about the impact of DAPS variant. 

The numerous separations reported in the literature include surfactants, inorganic ions, enzymes, other proteins, other organics, biological cells, and various other particles and substances. The scale of the systems ranges from the simple Grits test for the presence of surfactants in water, which has been shown to operate by virtue of transient foam fractionation [Lemlich, J. Colloid Interface Sci., 37, 497 (1971)], to the natural adsubble processes that occur on a grand scale in the ocean [Wallace and Duce, Deep Sea Res., 25, 827 (1978)]. For further information see the reviews cited earlier. 

The best test for the suitability of the models is to develop their respec tive parameter estimates at one set of conditions and then test the accuracy of the models using measurements for other sets of conditions. The other conditions can be as relatively close to those used to establish the parameter estimates as might be experienced in routine operations. They may also be far different with different feed conditions and operating specifications. 

At shift change the operator verbally told the relief operator what process steps remained. The relief operator tested for, and detected unreacted monomer in the copolmerization process. In an attempt to complete the reaction, the relief operator added additional initiator to the reactor a runaway reaction promptly occurred. 

On the load side, the interrupter is connected through a cable to the equivalent circuit, with the required quantities of lumped resistance and reactance, to represent the motor to be tested, under a locked rotor condition. The circuit would also represent an interruption immediately after a start, to check for the most onerous operating condition for the interrupter to generate the highest surges as discussed earlier. 

Before taking the sample train to the test site, it is wise to prepare the operating curves for the particular job. With most factory-assembled trains, these curves are a part of the package. If a sampling train is assembled from components, the curves must be developed. The type of curves will vary from source to source and from train to train. Examples of useful operating curves include (1) velocity versus velocity pressure at various temperatures (6), (2) probe tip velocity versus flowmeter readings at various temperatures, and (3) flowmeter calibration curves of flow versus pressure drop. It is much easier to take an operaHng point from a previously prepared curve than to take out a calculator and pad to make the calculahons at the... 

The operational test of the lube system is, as the name implies, a functional test to check as many of the features as practical under running conditions. The first and last step is a demonstration of the cleanliness of the system. This is followed by a running test of a four-hour duration. The test should simulate the field operation with the compressor in every way practical. All equipment to be furnished with the lube system should be used in the test, including the standby pump start and trip switches. All other instruments should be used to demonstrate their operation. Prior to starting the four-hour run, the system should be thoroughly inspected for leaks and the leaks corrected. If no steam is available for a steam turbine (if one is used), the four-hour run can be made on the electric pump. However, every effort should be made to use an alternate source of energy such as compressed air, to operate the steam turbine. 

If a flame arrester is provided with cowls, weather hoods, deflectors, etc., it must be tested for the configuration involved if the test is done to meet the UL, USCG, or CEN standard (see Chapter 8). Maintenance of a flame arrester should be performed carefully to avoid any adverse impact on arrester performance (see Chapter 7). All flame arresters should be inspected regularly as operating experience dictates (see Chapter 7). 

Methods developed for on-line technological control have to be tested for the variation of the product composition due to process variations. However, if rugged analytical procedures are developed these multidimensional methods may only require minimal attention during on-line operation. Multidimensional chromatography for the analysis of complex polymer and industrial samples offers chromatogra-phers high productivity and efficiency and is an excellent alternative to off-line methods.

Time based commands start processes that require control over a period of time, as in operations that must be repeated at regular intervals. Flow control commands let the control program choose alternative execution paths as needed. They are used to test for the existence of specified process conditions and to change the reaction conditions by branching to other parts of the formula table. 

A continuous rotary filter is required for an industrial process for the filtration of a suspension to produce 0.002 m3/s of filtrate. A sample was tested on a small laboratory filter of area 0.023 m2 to which it was fed by means of a slurry pump to give filtrate at a constant rate of 0.0125 m3/s. The pressure difference across the test filter increased from 14 kN/m2 after 300 s filtration to 28 kN/m2 after 900 s, at which time the cake thickness had reached 38 mm. What are suitable dimensions and operating conditions for the rotary filter, assuming that the resistance of the cloth used is one-half that on the test filter,... 

A measure is preventive if it prevents the occurrence of a runaway, a decomposition, or a hazardous secondary reaction. The system conditions remain close to operating conditions. Excessive increases in temperatures and/or pressures are avoided. Preventive measures include feed rate control systems, interlocks to prevent the reaction from starting unless sufficient diluent is present or the cooling system is working, and tests for the presence of catalysts or unwanted impurities. Preventive measures are always to be preferred over protective or mitigating (defensive) measures.
