Sampled data

This section will look at formation and fluid data gathering before significant amounts of fluid have been produced hence describing how the static reservoir is sampled. Data gathered prior to production provides vital information, used to predict reservoir behaviour under dynamic conditions. Without this baseline data no meaningful reservoir simulation can be carried out. The other major benefit of data gathered at initial reservoir conditions is that pressure and fluid distribution are in equilibrium this is usuaily not the case once production commences. Data gathered at initial conditions is therefore not complicated... 

The second task is then analysing the results of the scan. The results can be displayed live on a display screen, or stored and presented all at once or after further scaling and analysis. This playback feature of sample data will be the subject of the remainder of the paper, for as we will see the playback need not be immediate nor on site, but could take place synchronously or asynchronously over the Internet. 

A major benefit of sampled data is the ability to store it. Once this data has been stored it can be analyzed, plotted and used in a simulator. A simulator reinstates the client/server paradigm, allowing the user to re-experience the inspection, synchronously. Different data filters and mappings can be used. For example, in Figure 4, a simple mapping...

Position Sensitive Detectors. By replacing the scintillation detector in a conventional powder diffractometer with a Position Sensitive Detector (PSD), it is possible to speed data collection. For each x-ray photon received a PSD records the angle at which it was detected. Typically, a conventional scintillation detector records x-ray photons in a range of a few hundredths of a degree at a time. A PSD can measure many degrees (in 20) of a powder pattern simultaneously. Thus, for small samples, data collection, which could require hours with a conventional detector, could take minutes or even seconds with a PSD. 

Figure 8-5 illustrates the concept of samphng a continuous function. At integer values of the saiTmling rate. At, the value of the variable to be sampled is measured and held until the next sampling instant. To deal with sampled data systems, the z transform has been developed. The z transform of the function given in Fig. 8-5 is defined as... 

Selection of appropriate time intei vals for increment extractions relates to property variation (inhomogeneity) within material flow streams. Ten minute extraction intei vals are generally adequate to obtain suitably representative samples from material flows under practical circumstances. Precise determination of extraction intei vals consistent with individual apphcations can be calculatedthrough autocorrelation of historical sampling data, a statistical method described in references (Gy, Pitard). 

The praetieal utilization of linear reetifieation is demonstrated later through a worked example. Fitting statistieal distributions to sample data using the linear reetifieation method ean be found in Ayyub and MeCuen (1997), Edwards and MeKee (1991), Kottegoda and Rosso (1997), Leiteh (1995), Lewis (1996), Metealfe (1997), Misehke (1992), Rao (1992), and Shigley and Misehke (1989). 

A eorrelation eoeffieient of 1 indieates that there is a very strong assoeiation between the two variables as shown in Figure 4.8. Lower values of r indieate that the variables have less of an assoeiation until at r = 0, no eorrelation between the variables is evident. A negative value indieates an inverse relationship. Therefore, the maximum value of eorrelation eoeffieient for eaeh linear reetifieation model will give most appropriate distribution that fits the sample data. 

The eomponent shown in Figure 4 is a spaeer from a transmission system. The eomponent is manufaetured by turning/boring at the rate of 25 000 per annum and the eomponent eharaeteristie to be eontrolled, X, is an internal diameter. From the statistieal data in the form of a histogram for 40 eomponents manufaetured, shown in Figure 5, we ean ealeulate the proeess eapability indiees, Cp and Cp. It is assumed that a Normal distribution adequately models the sample data. 

A first-order sampled-data system is shown in Figure 7.10.

The audit team took wipe samples from the surfaee of the disearded PPE and analyzed them for metals, pestieides, and SVOCs, but found no deteetable eontamination. The Site I eontraetor, however, did not have additional sampling data from different days or varying eireumstanees to verify that on a eonsistent basis, eontamination was not being spread to elean areas of the site beeause of the laek of deeontamination operations. 

A Similar aphical presentation of the spatial distribution of a tracer g is or a real contaminant and thereby to some extent the airflow in the studied area is based on the use of computed tomography and optical remote sens-jt]g I2.M beams are sent out horizontally and reflected back to an IR analytical instrument, analyzing the average concentration of the contaminant along the IR beam. By combining data from several measured tines it is possible ro present data in a similar way to Fig. 12.8. Those methods presuppose access ro an expensive and complicated sampling/data processing system. 

Thus, tlie focus of tliis subsection is on qualitative/semiquantitative approaches tliat can yield useful information to decision-makers for a limited resource investment. There are several categories of uncertainties associated with site risk assessments. One is tlie initial selection of substances used to characterize exposures and risk on tlie basis of the sampling data and available toxicity information. Oilier sources of uncertainty are inlierent in tlie toxicity values for each substance used to characterize risk. Additional micertainties are inlierent in tlie exposure assessment for individual substances and individual exposures. These uncertainties are usually driven by uncertainty in tlie chemical monitoring data and tlie models used to estimate exposure concentrations in tlie absence of monitoring data, but can also be driven by population intake parameters. As described earlier, additional micertainties are incorporated in tlie risk assessment when exposures to several substances across multiple patliways are suimned.
