Multiresponse modelling of the caramelisation reaction

Multiresponse modelling of the caramelisation reaction

Under the conditions used to prepare the traditional sugar syrups and caramels, commercial sucrose is heated with small amounts of water in order to attain supersaturated (at room temperature) solutions. Undesuch conditions, a lag phase in sucrose thermal degradation was experimentally observed. This lag phase was also observed in the formation of reaction products, and can be interpreted has a...

Kinetic Studies on Caramelisation of Reducing Sugars

The modelling of the biodiesel reaction

The design of a continuous reactor for the production of palm-oil methyl ester required the modelling of the complex series of reversible reactions which are known to take place. Rate equations were derived which could be solved by a number of mathematical techniques: In this case, a finite-difference technique was used based on simple spreadsheet functions. The resulting model was compared wit...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Modelling Reaction Times

We discuss the simulation of reaction times in connectionist systems. The obvious way to do this involves thinking in terms of neural activations building up towards some threshold in cascaded systems, but it has also been suggested that the output activation error scores in standard back-propagation networks should also be correlated with response times. The idea is that in the more realistic ...
