4. Simulative Comparison of Model Discriminating Design Criteria<br />

Although statistically, there is not yet a hard proof, it seems like the adjustments for<br />

use with dynamic experiments in the ND criterion gave a slight improvement compared<br />

to the HR criterion.<br />

Unfortunately, the results of this simulative case study do not yield one clear preferred<br />

criterion. The highest discriminating power was achieved using the ND criterion when<br />

Ferm1 was the ’true’ model and also the best average was achieved using this criterion.<br />

The smaller variation is on the other hand a positive characteristic of the BF criterion.<br />

The highest minimal discriminating power was achieved by the BH criterion.<br />

4.3. Second Case: Catalytic Conversion<br />

The second case is a catalytic conversion. This case deals with a common and important<br />

question, whether a decrease in reaction rate over time could be caused by product<br />

inhibition or rather by deactivation of the catalyst.<br />

Again, only one substrate is converted to one product. The concentrations of substrate<br />

and product are the only measured state variables.<br />

4.3.1. Prior Situation<br />

The initial situation consists of two subsequent batch experiments with different initial<br />

concentrations of substrate and catalyst.<br />

Three Michaelis-Menten type models were fitted to these data. The kinetic equations<br />

of these models are as follows:<br />

Model Cat1:<br />

rC =0 (4.5)<br />

−rS = rP =<br />

Km ·<br />

vmax · CC · CS<br />

�<br />

1+ CP<br />

KiP<br />

�<br />

+ CS<br />

(4.6)<br />

Again, the used symbols are as explained in appendix A on page 133. Subscript C is<br />

used to indicate the catalyst.<br />

Model Cat2 is similar to Cat1, but with non-competitive instead of competitive product<br />

inhibition, so equation 4.6 is changed to:<br />

−rS = rP = vmax · CC · CS<br />

Km · +CS1<br />

KiP<br />

, (4.7)<br />

CP + KiP<br />

but still, the amount of catalyst C does not change.<br />

In model Cat3, instead of a product inhibition, a first order degradation of the catalyst<br />
