Simulation of Actual Conditions

Weathering of films with different starting times

For best simulation of actual conditions, coupons should be subjected to the same level of preparation and passivation as given to the waterside metal surfaces of the particular cooling system under consideration. 

The above problems of fabrication and performance present a challenging task of identification of the governing material mechanisms. Use of nonlinear finite element analysis enables close simulation of actual thermal and mechanical loading conditions when combined with measurable geometrical and material parameters. As we continue to investigate real phenomena, we need to incorporate non-linearities in behavior into carefully refined models in order to achieve useful descriptions of structural responses. 

Where possible, each alarm and safeguard feature should be challenged by simulation of actual alarm conditions within the sterilizer equipment system. Where simulation of physical alarm conditions would be impractical, alarm circuitry may be challenged by use of electrical input signals. 

The standardization here is, therefore, not so much concerned with the actual measurement, as with the sample preparation. The selection of the definition adopted for measurement depends on the application and the test conditions should simulate the actual conditions to which the powder is subjected in practice. 

Direct scale-up of kinetic information from bench-scute tests usnally is unreliable since the influence of mixing intensity on secondary naclealion is difficult to amass, as is the simulation of actual plant operating conditions. However, (he exponents of the nucleation tale model shown in Eq. (11.3-12) cen be evaluated in small-male equipment in addition to the sensitivity of (he nucleation rale coefficient kK to changes in temperanue and/or level of agitation. 

Test conditions must be selected to simulate the actual conditions of impact that are likely to be experienced in service, particularly in the case of members subjected to high compression or shear forces. 

The service temperature is normally duplicated exactly in laboratory simulations. Unlike assware experiments, HT/HP corrosion tests can be conducted at temperatures above the atmospheric boiling f)oint of the test environment. This is an important benefit of HT/HP testing which normally results in better simulation of actual service conditions. However, problems may arise when the corroding system is not isothermal as in the case under heat transfer conditions commonly found in many types of industrial process equipment such as heat exchangers and dynamic process vessels. Temperature can also be used to accelerate reactions in the laboratory. This can have its drawbacks which... 

A eomprehensive set of plant operating eonditions was not available for this case, but the plant indicated a methane slip of about 8.5 % was observed by the plant for diis outlet temperature. The calculated outlet methane dry mole percent of 8.8 % is very close to the 8.5 % that was observed, and since all the independent conditions (feed rate, steam to carbon ratio, etc.) are not precisely known for this case, the discrepancy may be easily attributed to differences in simulated versus actual conditions. 

A method of particle size analysis for the drug substance using the laser diffraction technique has been developed. This method attempts to simulate the actual conditions of manufacture of the ointment. 

The size of sinter, pellet, coke, lump coal was 10-12.5mm for simplifying the process of the experiments. The weights of sinter, pellet and coke or lump coal were 188.5g, 101.5g, lOg, respectively. AH the materials were manually mixed. The heating rate and gas composition were selected by simulating the actual conditions in the blast furnace as given in Table IV. The gas flow was precisely controlled by volume flow controllers with a total gas flow rate of 10.0 NL-min. The load on the burden in the experimental process was Ikg-cm. ... 

MoistureResista.nce, Plastic foams are advantageous compared to other thermal insulations in several appHcations where they are exposed to moisture pickup, particularly when subjected to a combination of thermal and moisture gradients. In some cases the foams are exposed to freeze—thaw cycles as well. The behavior of plastic foams has been studied under laboratory conditions simulating these use conditions as well as under the actual use conditions. 

Efficiency testing needs to be conducted with actual conditions simulated as closely as possible (3,6,7). Table 2 presents some of the standardized ... 

The tests may be conducted on a few ratings with different sizes and lengths of cables to simulate the near actual condition of the installation. One should be more conservative than liberal on cable lengths to obtain safe... 

It should be observed that every element except the powder system in the recovery system is chosen for favorable shock properties which can be confidently simulated numerically. The precise sample assembly procedures assure that the conditions calculated in the numerical simulations are actually achieved in the experiments. The influence of various powder compacts in influencing the shock pressure and mean-bulk temperature must be determined in computer experiments in which various material descriptions are used. Fortunately, the large porosity (densities from 35% to 75% of solid density) leads to a great simplification in that the various porous samples respond in the same manner due to the radial loading introduced from the porous inclusion in the copper capsule.
