System parameter

As a first step in the direction outlined here some manufacturers and BAM last year discussed the problems and the possible procedures of such a system of quality assurance. As a result of this meeting round robin tests for the harmonization of the measurements of film system parameters and a possible procedure of surveillance of the quality of film systems were proposed. Closely related to these the BAM offers to perform the classification of film systems. But as during the production of films variations of the properties of the different batches cannot be avoided, the results of measurements of films of a single batch will be restricted to this charge, while only the measurements and mean of several batches of a film type will give representative values of its properties. This fact is taken into account already in section 4 of the standard EN 584-1 which can be interpreted as a kind of continuous surveillance. In accordance with this standard a film system caimot be certified on the base of measurements of a single emulsion only.

At the beginning of the supervision of films systems first of all the influences of the exposure-and processing installations of the project partners on the determination of the film system parameters shall be found out and subsequently the equipments for measurement shjdl be compared one with another. This round robin test comprises in detail ... 

The system parameters gradient G (G(D=2),G(D=4)), granularity and the gradient to noise ratio G/a are determined for a film system which comprises a film type and chemicals inclusive the processing. 

Shear Horizontal (SH) waves generated by Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) have been used for sizing fatigue cracks and machined notches in steels by Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOED) method. The used EMATs have been Phased Array-Probes and have been operated by State-of-the-art PC based phased array systems. Test and system parameters have been optimised to maximise defect detection and signal processing methods have been applied to improve accuracy in the transit time measurements. 

Prompted by the success, TOFD measurements were conducted on a fatigue crack in a stainless steel compact tension specimen. Test and system parameters were optimised following the same procedure used for carbon steel specimens. A clear diffracted signal was observed with relatively good SNR and its depth as measured from the time-of-flight measurements matched exactly with the actual depth. 

Main system parameters are shown in table 1. The fine field resolution is important. When operating in an unshielded space, however, at least such important is the high common mode rejection and the gradient rejection in order to suppress parasitic magnetic fields. 

From the standpoint of a military product, system effectiveness is the probabiUty that the system meets successfully an operational demand within a given time when operating under specified conditions. From the standpoint of commercial products, system effectiveness is harder to define, but basically means customer satisfaction. There are several system parameters that are important to the customer. Some of these parameters are defined below. 

At the time of a computer mn of a simulation, it is desirable to store only the parameters for those particular components involved in the simulation, and so this set of basic data is normally copied over from the permanent system parameters data bank into mn-time data locations. In typical flow-sheeting problems this involves the collection of particular parameters for 5 to 20 components from a data bank with extensive sets of data for up to several thousand components.

Chemical inhibitors, when added in small amounts, reduce corrosion by affecting cathodic and/or anodic processes. A wide variety of treatments may be used, including soluble hydroxides, chromates, phosphates, silicates, carbonates, zinc salts, molybdates, nitrates, and magnesium salts. The exact amount of inhibitor to be used, once again, depends on system parameters such as temperature, flow, water chemistry, and metal composition. For these reasons, experts in water treatment acknowledge that treatment should be fine tuned for a given system. 

Type 2 coordination is more prevalent and commonly used for all industrial applications. Below, we concentrate on coordination Type 2, permitting the least damage and longer service life. This coordination can safely withstand normal fluctuations in system parameters and operating conditions during normal working. It is always advisable to verify the authenticity of the coordination in a laboratory. For procedure, to establish the type of co-ordination, refer to lEC 60298. To achieve the required precise coordination we discuss a few typical cases below. 

In actual operation, disturbances on a power system, causing sudden changes in the system parameters, are quite frequent and may generate temporary overvoltages and voltage surges, as summarized above. The system disturbances may be of two types, external or internal, as explained below. 

There is no raied wiihsiand levels specified in these standards for such surges. This will depend upon the system parameters as noted later and must be specified by the user to the equipment manufacturer. 

To assess the energy capability of the arrester more realistically, let us consider the established system parameters as in Table 18.6 to determine the maximum energy discharge through the arrester. 

When the system parameters Rq, Xq and are known, the value of GFF may be determined more accurately by the use of Figure 20.16, which has been established for different grounding conditions, i.c. for different values of Rq, X ) and X. ...

It is therefore recommended that a small resistance of a low- /- R loss be introduced into the filter circuits as shown in Figure 23.15(a) to limit such an excessive flow of currents through them. Knowledge of the system parameters (resistance and reactance) is also essential to design an appropriate filter circuit to avoid a possible resonance in the first instance. If this occurs the resistance thus introduced will limit the excessive flow of current. 

The eomplex FCC system involves not only turbomaehinery, but also related proeess eomponents. All of these must be properly designed and sized to operate within system parameters from startup to steady state design point, and through shutdown. System response to emergeney eonditions is also mandatory. Computer simulation is, therefore, an integral part of the design proeess. A eomputer program eapable of this simulation is deseribed below.
