Solving Newton s equation of motion requires a numerical procedure for integrating the differential equation. A standard method for solving ordinary differential equations, such as Newton s equation of motion, is the finite-difference approach. In this approach, the molecular coordinates and velocities at a time it + Ait are obtained (to a sufficient degree of accuracy) from the molecular coordinates and velocities at an earlier time t. The equations are solved on a step-by-step basis. The choice of time interval Ait depends on the properties of the molecular system simulated, and Ait must be significantly smaller than the characteristic time of the motion studied (Section V.B).

For critical, high consequence systems, simulators are useful to practice diagnosis and correction of errors and abnormal conditions in emergency conditions (CCPS, 1994a).

The introductory chapter of this book identified four basic motivations for studying CA. The subsequent chapters have discussed a wide variety of CA models predicated on the first three of these four motivations namely, using CA as... (1) as powerful computational engines, (2) as discrete dynamical system simulators, and (3) as conceptual vehicles for studying general pattern formation and complexity. However, we have not yet presented any concrete examples of CA models predicated on the fourth-and arguably the deepest-motivation for studying CA as fundamental models of nature. A discussion of this fourth class of CA models is taken up in earnest in this chapter, whose narrative is woven around a search for an answer to the beisic speculative question, Is nature, at its core, a CA "... 

The experimental apparatus is consists of reformed gas feeding sections, CO PrOx reaction section in the reactor, and the analysis section with a gas chromatograph system. Simulated reformed gas composition was 75 vol.% H2, 24 vol.% CO2 and 1.0 vol.% CO. The dry reformed feed stream was fed with O2 (A.=l) into the microchannel reactor by MFC (Brooks 5850E). Water vapor (10vol.% of reformed gas) was also fed into the reactor by a s)ninge pump.

This example is based on the model description of Sec. 3.3.4, and involves a multicomponent, semi-batch system, with both heating and boiling periods. The compositions and boiling point temperatures will change with time. The water phase will accumulate in the boiler. The system simulated is based on a mixture of n-octane and n-decane, which for simplicity will be assumed to be ideal but which has been simulated using detailed activity coefficient relations by Prenosil (1976). 

A large number of model-based systems use either qualitative or quantitative simulation, such as FAULTFINDER (Kelly and Lees, 1986) or EA-GOL (Roth, Woods, and Pople, 1992). These systems simulate normal behavior and compare the simulation results with observations, they simulate faults and compare simulation results with detected symptoms, or they interleave simulation with observation comparing the two to dynamically track normal and abnormal states. It is computationally very expensive to...

The determination of the character and location of phase transitions has been an active area of research from the early days of computer simulation, all the way back to the 1953 Metropolis et al. [59] MC paper. Within a two-phase coexistence region, small systems simulated under periodic boundary conditions show regions of apparent thermodynamic instability [60] simulations in the presence of an explicit interface eliminate this at some cost in system size and equilibration time. The determination of precise coexistence boundaries was usually done indirectly, through the... 

Off-line analysis, controller design, and optimization are now performed in the area of dynamics. The largest dynamic simulation has been about 100,000 differential algebraic equations (DAEs) for analysis of control systems. Simulations formulated with process models having over 10,000 DAEs are considered frequently. Also, detailed training simulators have models with over 10,000 DAEs. On-line model predictive control (MPC) and nonlinear MPC using first-principle models are seeing a number of industrial applications, particularly in polymeric reactions and processes. At this point, systems with over 100 DAEs have been implemented for on-line dynamic optimization and control.

As it will be explained in section 6, the usual way to evaluate the potential energy of a system simulated by Monte Carlo techniques, makes use of the pair potential approximation (although, as it will also be reviewed, several works have already appeared where nonadditivity corrections to the interaction potential have been included). In the pair potential approximation only two body interactions are taken into account. We will briefly explain here how to apply this approximation for the calculation of the potential energy, to the periodic system just described. The interaction potential energy under the pair potential approximation can be written as ... 

To show this, we will present and discuss some typical results readily available in the literature. Here we will select systems simulated in the constant-pressure constant-surface-tension ensemble, i.e. with a temperature, pressure and surface tension control.
