Now the analyses make sense. The steady-state analysis agrees with the transient analysis. However, let us consider all of this one more time. In what manner did the analysis show us we should move if we wish to get the ultimate removal of B from the feed stream with the areas, feed flow, and permeances all fixed The answer is obvious. The pseudo-steady-state analysis showed us that if we could somehow reduce the concentration of B on the permeate side to near zero values, then we could remove nearly 50% of it versus only 33% with these conditions. How could we do this How about raising the sweep flow rate on permeate side This will have the effect of keeping the concentration of B very low and increasing the driving force for B across the membrane. How much higher would the sweep flow have to be to accomplish this The answer is in what follows on the order of a factor of 10 increase will do it ...

The purpose of a model test is to verify the methods of analysis and to provide a visible physical demonstration of the adequacy of the design requirements. As described earlier, model tests have been carried out to verify the service and ultimate state behaviour of vessels and to assess prestressing, reinforcement and liner requirements. The scale chosen for a specific model depends on the objective of the test and on the reduction in size of important vessel components. For a complete vessel a suitable scale varies from 1 25 to 1 10, and scales of 1 25 and 1 50 have been used for the investigation of the top slab behaviour. A large number of models for shear modes of failure have been tested with... 

Several chapters give a list of analyses required for the vessels and their components. The ultimate limit state analysis is given in detail on the bases tests and carried out and discussed in Section 5.7.

Radiometry. Radiometry is the measurement of radiant electromagnetic energy (17,18,134), considered herein to be the direct detection and spectroscopic analysis of ambient thermal emission, as distinguished from techniques in which the sample is actively probed. At any temperature above absolute zero, some molecules are in thermally populated excited levels, and transitions from these to the ground state radiate energy at characteristic frequencies. Erom Wien s displacement law, T = 2898 //m-K, the emission maximum at 300 K is near 10 fim in the mid-ir. This radiation occurs at just the energies of molecular rovibrational transitions, so thermal emission carries much the same information as an ir absorption spectmm. Detection of the emissions of remote thermal sources is the ultimate passive and noninvasive technique, requiring not even an optical probe of the sampled volume. 

Analysts The above is a formidable barrier. Analysts must use limited and uncertain measurements to operate and control the plant and understand the internal process. Multiple interpretations can result from analyzing hmited, sparse, suboptimal data. Both intuitive and complex algorithmic analysis methods add bias. Expert and artificial iutefligence systems may ultimately be developed to recognize and handle all of these hmitations during the model development. However, the current state-of-the-art requires the intervention of skilled analysts to draw accurate conclusions about plant operation. 

While these calculations provide information about the ultimate equilibrium conditions, redox reactions are often slow on human time scales, and sometimes even on geological time scales. Furthermore, the reactions in natural systems are complex and may be catalyzed or inhibited by the solids or trace constituents present. There is a dearth of information on the kinetics of redox reactions in such systems, but it is clear that many chemical species commonly found in environmental samples would not be present if equilibrium were attained. Furthermore, the conditions at equilibrium depend on the concentration of other species in the system, many of which are difficult or impossible to determine analytically. Morgan and Stone (1985) reviewed the kinetics of many environmentally important reactions and pointed out that determination of whether an equilibrium model is appropriate in a given situation depends on the relative time constants of the chemical reactions of interest and the physical processes governing the movement of material through the system. This point is discussed in some detail in Section 15.3.8. In the absence of detailed information with which to evaluate these time constants, chemical analysis for metals in each of their oxidation states, rather than equilibrium calculations, must be conducted to evaluate the current state of a system and the biological or geochemical importance of the metals it contains. 

To construct the reference model, the interpretation system required routine process data collected over a period of several months. Cross-validation was applied to detect and remove outliers. Only data corresponding to normal process operations (that is, when top-grade product is made) were used in the model development. As stated earlier, the system ultimately involved two analysis approaches, both reduced-order models that capture dominant directions of variability in the data. A PLS analysis using two loadings explained about 60% of the variance in the measurements. A subsequent PCA analysis on the residuals showed that five principal components explain 90% of the residual variability. 

The use of solid state NMR for the investigation of polymorphism is easily understood based on the following model. If a compound exists in two, true polymorphic forms, labeled as A and B, each crystalline form is conformationally different. This means for instance, that a carbon nucleus in form A may be situated in a slightly different molecular geometry compared with the same carbon nucleus in form B. Although the connectivity of the carbon nucleus is the same in each form, the local environment may be different. Since the local environment may be different, this leads to a different chemical shift interaction for each carbon, and ultimately, a different isotropic chemical shift for the same carbon atom in the two different polymorphic forms. If one is able to obtain pure material for the two forms, analysis and spectral assignment of the solid state NMR spectra of the two forms can lead to the origin of the conformational differences in the two polymorphs. Solid state NMR is thus an important tool in conjunction with thermal analysis, optical microscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and powder... 

From the four case studies several suggestions for improvement were made, according to the identified latent conditions and specific precursors. However, the implementation and validation of these suggestions was not performed and are recognised as steps still missing in the final validation of the 7-stage protocol. The analysis was performed in close co-operation with company employees and the remedies implemented were derived together with the employees. As Schein (Schein, 1999) clearly states, the success of the remedies depends heavily upon the involvement of the company employees, because they know what will work and are ultimately responsible for the implemented remedy and its consequences.
