Abstract:
An article of manufacture for use in programming a processor having at least one output device and data storage device attached thereto, the article of manufacture including a processor-readable medium having one or more programs embodied therein for performing a method for developing an application, the method comprising the steps of:selecting at least one performance parameter relating to conditions within an aqueous system, wherein said at least one performance parameter includes a corrosion rate; measuring a value of the corrosion rate to serve as a baseline corrosion rate value; determining capacity of the aqueous system and measuring and monitoring flow rates of water into and out of the aqueous system; remeasuring the value of the corrosion rate and comparing the remeasured value to the baseline corrosion rate value and factoring in the flow rates of water into and out of the system; and altering at least one controllable variable within the aqueous system based upon a deviation of the remeasured corrosion rate value from the baseline corrosion rate value.
