SUMMARYRegression models were constructed to predict the yields and digestibilities of herbage cut in different sequences of harvests.The yield model used a seasonal production curve modified by the effects of defoliation. Values for the model parameters were obtained by fitting the model to experimental data using a non-linear regression procedure. When these parameters were used, to predict treatment effects in another series of experimental data, good agreement was obtained. The digestibility model incorporated the effect on digestibility time of year, regrowth time and yield.Using the models to interpolate between the results of cutting experiments, annual yields were shown to increase with the date of first cut and also with the interval between subsequent cuts, whereas the average digestibility of the harvested material ecreased with the date of first cut and with the subsequent cutting interval. Finally, a procedure was devised for combining the two models in order to find an optimum cutting strategy for a hypothetical animal production system.

A semi-empirical, dynamic model for investigating the fluid forces induced on a bluff cylinder by vortex shedding is developed using random vibration theory. The model includes both spanwise correlation effects and the amplitude dependence of the correlated vortex forces. Model parameters are determined by experimental data. The results are then applied to determine the forces exerted on elastic cylinders at resonance with vortex shedding. The predictions are in good agreement with experimental data.

This paper deals with the validation of the two-phase flow models of the CFD code NEPTUNEC-CFD using experimental data provided by the OECD BWR BFBT and PSBT Benchmark. Since the two-phase models of CFD codes are extensively being improved, the validation is a key step for the acceptability of such codes. The validation work is performed in the frame of the European NURISP Project and it was focused on the steady state and transient void fraction tests. The influence of different NEPTUNE-CFD model parameters on the void fraction prediction is investigated and discussed in detail. Due to the coupling of heat conduction solver SYRTHES with NEPTUNE-CFD, the description of the coupled fluid dynamics and heat transfer between the fuel rod and the fluid is improved significantly. The averaged void fraction predicted by NEPTUNE-CFD for selected PSBT and BFBT tests is in good agreement with the experimental data. Finally, areas for future improvements of the NEPTUNE-CFD code were identified, too.

AbstractA computationally simple thermodynamic framework has been presented to correlate the vapour-liquid equilibria of carbon dioxide absorption in five representative types of alkanolamine mixtures. The proposed model is an extension of modified Kent Eisenberg model for the carbon dioxide loaded aqueous alkanolamine mixtures. The model parameters are regressed on a large experimental data pool of carbon dioxide solubility in aqueous alkanolamine mixtures. The model is applicable to a wide range of temperature (298–393 K), pressure (0.1–6000 kPa) and alkanolamine concentration (0.3–5 M). The correlated results are compared to the experimental values and found to be in good agreement with the average deviations ranging between 6% and 20%. The model results are comparable to other thermodynamic models.

A new method, combining KTH model with geometrical model (General solution model by Chou) to estimate viscosity of some ternary silicate slags, was proposed in this work. According to modified KTH model, viscous Gibbs free energy for mixing of ternary slags was estimated by employing general solution model. It was found that viscous Gibbs energy for mixing of ternary system could be calculated using solely viscous Gibbs energy for mixing of sub-binary systems. The viscosities of five ternary slags CaO-MnO-SiO2, CaO-FeO-SiO2, FeO-MnO-SiO2, CaO-MgO-SiO2 and FeO-MgO-SiO2 were estimated in the present work. A good agreement with available experimental data, with mean deviation less than 20%, was achieved. The modified KTH model has advantages with less model parameters and improved estimation ability by comparison to original KTH model.

Abstract. Chlorine dioxide, OClO, column amounts retrieved from measurements of the SCIAMACHY satellite instrument are presented and validated by comparison with simultaneous ground-based DOAS observations. In addition, the measurements are compared to model calculations taking into account the photochemical change along the light path. Although OClO does not participate directly in the destruction of ozone, its accurate measurement as well as modelling is crucial to understand the highly perturbed chlorine chemistry in the polar vortices. SCIAMACHY OClO slant columns retrieved during spring 2005 have been quantitatively validated by comparison with slant columns retrieved from measurements made in Ny-Ålesund (79° N, 12° E) and Summit (73° N, 38° W) as well qualitatively for Bremen (53° N, 9° E). Fair to good agreement is found depending on location as well as time of year. OClO slant column densities modelled with a set of stacked box models and considering the light path through the atmosphere are also included in this comparison. The model predictions differ significantly from the measured quantities. OClO amounts are underestimated for conditions of strong chlorine activation and at large solar zenith angles. Sensitivity studies for several parameters in the stacked box model have been performed and it is inferred that using the chemistry known to date, the observed OClO cannot be adequately reproduced within the range of uncertainties given for the various model parameters.

Abstract The paper describes a mathematical model of PHA biopolymer production process by Pseudomonas putida KT2442 where the octanoic acid is used as a substrate.

The model exhibits good agreement with experiments and its possible application for control is considered in the paper.

The response of the Fermi surface of white tin to uniaxial dilational strain has been determined from an orthogonalized plane wave (OPW) pseudopotential model. The model parameters have been chosen to give a best fit to experimental data on the Fermi surface in the unstrained metal. The strain derivatives of a total of 17 extremal cross sections, normal to the symmetry directions [001], [100], and [110] in the tetragonal crystal, have been calculated. The results for large orbits are found to be generally in good agreement with experimental data; the agreement is only qualitative for orbits on small pieces of the Fermi surface. Properties of the minimal orbit around the re-entrant neck in zone four have been determined; these explain why de Haas – van Alphen oscillations from this orbit have until recently eluded observation.

Abstract An analytical tool is presented for the prediction of the effects of changes in tread pattern design on thick film wet traction performance. Results are reported for studies in which the analysis, implemented on a digital computer, was used to determine the effect of different tread geometry features, among these being the number, width, and lateral spacing of longitudinal grooves and the angle of zigzags in longitudinal grooves, on thick film wet traction. These results are shown to be in good agreement with experimental data appearing in the literature and are used to formulate guidelines for tread groove network design practice.
