SubClass Of: capability

Class Hierarchy

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’
