"intensive variable" is a legitimate grammatical construction and can be used in written English.
It refers to a variable that has a significant and direct impact on the outcome or behavior of a situation, as opposed to a variable that has a weak or indirect effect. Example: "The cost of raw materials is an intensive variable in the production of our goods, as any fluctuations in price greatly affect our profit margins."
A specific intensive variable is introduced to keep track of the repartition of masses.
A simple equation was proposed for the prediction of the fatty acid composition of the ST at the exit of the PBR as a function of the intensive variable mL/q[TG]0.
For acidolysis reaction in the continuous mode PBR, the lipase amount/(flow rate × substrate concentration) ratio (mL/q[TG]0) could be considered as the intensive variable of the process for use in scale up of the PBR.
Based on this, the control structure design procedure is completed with the realization of the conceptual inventory and intensive variable control loops over the available degrees of freedom in the system.
Arieh Ben-Naim in his recent book "A farewell to Entropy: Statistical Thermodynamics based on Information" [622] comments:"It is interesting to note that Landsberg (1978) not only contended that disorder is an ill-defined concept, but actually made the assertion that 'it is reasonable to expect 'disorder' to be an intensive variable'".
The concentration of A i is an intensive variable: c i = N i / V, where V is volume.
The variables are: the number of phases P (forms of matter; i.e., solid, liquid, and gas not necessarily of a single chemical component), the number of chemical components C (pure compounds or elements), and the number of degrees of freedom F of intensive variables, such as temperature, pressure, and percentage composition.
The forms contain finite differences of intensive variables into and across the surface as driving forces.
A homogeneous cooling state for rods, where the time dependence of the system's intensive variables occurs only through a global granular temperature, has been identified.
In this case, practice has shown that standard feedback control based on intensive variables has not been very easy to tune and effective in providing consistent operations.
The diagrams show either the metastably predominant proteins as a function of two intensive variables or the metastable equilibrium chemical activities of proteins as a function of one variable.
