The application of mathematical models for the evaluation of radioactive tracer tests carried out in South Africa

Description

The application of mathematical models to evaluate tracer experiments is illustrated by examples of tests done in a variety of industrial plants, using radioactive tracers. Two basic models, the axial mixing model and the perfectly mixed tank model, as well as various applicational techniques, are described. It is concluded that many processes can be simulated to various degrees of accuracy by using the basic models, and that both quantitative and qualitative information can be obtained about the process

Abstract (Afrikaans)

Die toepassing van wiskundige modelle om spoordertoetse te evalueer word geillustreer deur voorbeelde van toetse wat in 'n verskeidenheid industriele aanlegte gedoen is met radioaktiewe spoorders. Twee basiese modelle, die aksiale vermengingsmodel en die ideale mengvatmodel, asook verskeie toepassingstegnieke, word beskryf. Daar word tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat baie prosesse deur middel van die basiese modelle tot verskillende grade van akkuraatheid gesimuleer kan word en dat kwantitatiewe sowel as kwalitatiewe inligting oor die proses ingewin kan word
