SubClass Of: bfo:process profile

Class Hierarchy

owl:Thing › bfo:entity › bfo:occurrent › bfo:process › bfo:process profile › fluid flow orientation

Direct subclasses:

• perpendicular flow orientation
• tangential flow orientation

Definition

process profile that is the orientation of fluid movement in a process with respect to a reference surface or spatial axis

Examples

• the fluid flows perpendicular to the surface of a filter medium; in a tubular reactor, the direction of fluid flow is aligned with the central axis of the flow channel

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

Insufficient constructs are present to create a set of necessary and sufficient conditions

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

FluidFlowOrientation(x) → ProcessProfile(x)

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a ‘fluid flow orientation’ then x is a ‘process profile’
