1.2.3 Arrangement of Serial-CRMs and Parallel-CRMs
The three serial-CRMs from Fig. 1.2 and the three parallel-CRMs from Fig. 1.4 may
be further combined into more complex-CRMs in various ways. Here only one of
the many possible permutations, the Burgers model, shall be considered:
For a serial arrangement of a serial-CRM, say CRM 1 , that consists of two serial
secondary ERMs, say ERM 1.1 and ERM 1.2 , with a parallel-CRM, say CRM 2 , that
