owl:Thing › bfo:entity › bfo:continuant › bfo:specifically dependent continuant › bfo:realizable entity › bfo:disposition › capability › flow rate controlling capability
Definition
capability that an agent or piece of equipment has to regulate the flow rate of a fluid when participating in a particular planned process
Examples
- capability to control buffer flow rate during chromatography column equilibration; capability to adjust feed solution flow rate in a fed-batch fermentation process; capability to maintain consistent gas flow rate in a bioreactor sparging system; capability to modulate liquid flow rate in an ultrafiltration unit; capability to regulate mobile phase flow rate during chromatography column elution
Counter-Examples
- capability to measure flow rate passively without adjusting it; capability to maintain structural integrity of a pipe during fluid transfer
Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
There are insufficient constructs in the ontology to create necessary and sufficient conditions.
Formal Axioms
First-Order Logic Axioms
FlowRateControllingCapability(x) → Capability(x) ∧ ∀z(capabilityOf(x, z) → (Agent(z) ∨ PieceOfEquipment(z))) ∧ ∀y(hasRealization(x, y) → PlannedProcess(y))
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘flow rate controlling capability’ then x is a ‘capability’ such that x is the ‘capability of’ only an ‘agent’ or a ‘piece of equipment’ and whenever some y ‘realizes’ x that y must be a ‘planned process’
