Defining Filtering Protective Suit Ideality using a Mathematical-Modeling Method

Real systems approach the ideal by solving technical and physical contradictions. Optimization of system engineering (SE) is achieved when the problem is solved at the level of technical contradiction. When the problem is solved at the level of physical contradiction, the idealization of SE is achieved. Two possible ways of achieving ideality are described in this paper. The expansion process flows at the level of SE (i.e., idealization of another type), and the reduction process flows at the subsystem level (i.e., idealization of the first type). A procedure of mathematical modeling is presented for determining the level of ideality as a criterion for filtering protective suit (FPS) effectiveness, which can be used as a standard for determining the ideality of any SE.
