Example 4.6.1 CNC Maehine-Tool Positional Control (See also Appendix 1, examp461.m) 

Most maehine-tool manufaeturers employ veloeity feedbaek to obtain the neeessary damping. Sinee overshoot in a eutting operation usually eannot be tolerated, the damping eoeffieient for the system must be unity, or greater.

Specification The CNC machine-table control system is to be critically damped with a settling time of 0.1 seconds. 

Control problem To select the controller gain K to achieve the settling time and tachogenerator constant to provide critical damping.

Using the operating data from the case study. Example 5-5 shows heat balance calculations around the stripper-regenerator. The results are used to determine the catalyst circulation rate and the delta coke. Delta coke is the difference between coke on the spent catalyst and coke on the regenerated catalyst. 

The writing of this book was undertaken because it was intended to be the first work that solely focuses on chemistry, and what appropriate metrics for Green Chemistry might be. We hope the book provides an up-to-date and authoritative text on the current development of environmental concepts in chemical technologies from clean and green to sustainable development. We also think it provides up-to-date information on the problems of metrics fundamental aspects of metrics, practical realisations and real-world case study examples. The concepts and approaches of metrics are related to the fundamental problems in chemistry and the main focus is on the use of metrics to promote the development and implementation of green chemistry and technology solutions. 

Sometimes technological problems forbid the size of an operation to exceed a certain value. For instance, in the batch polymerization of polyethylene and polystyrene, it is important to maintain the temperature below a critical value, because otherwise the material will be damaged. Since this is an exothermic reaction, it means the energy must be removed as fast as it is formed. If it is not, the temperature will begin to rise, which will increase the rate of polymerization. This will result in an acceleration of the temperature rise and the result will be a discolored batch. This requirement establishes a limit on the size of the reactor. The practical significance is demonstrated in the polystyrene case-study example following Chapter 5. 

Fungi produce two of the most potent toxins affecting the liver. The death cap and death angel mushrooms from the Amanita family kill several people every year when they mistakenly consume these mushrooms (see case study example).

Numerous case studies, examples, and problems illustrate the thermodynamic analysis of process performance to explain how to effectively analyze and optimize work flows and environmental resources. The authors compare the present industrial society with an emerging one in which mass production and consumption are in harmony with the natural environment through closure of material cycles. In this second edition, the book s structure of Basics, Thermodynamic Analysis of Processes, Case Studies, and Sustainability has been unaffected, but a few additions have been made. 

Identification of the specific chemical(s) responsible for toxicity is not always necessary in order to develop sufficient control options for achieving and maintaining a consistently non-toxic effluent. For example, source investigations may identify an opportunity to recycle a heavily contaminated stream back to the process, for additional reagent recovery/savings, and reduced effluent toxicity (see case study example in Section 7). Treatment of individual concentrated sources prior to discharge could prevent the contamination of larger volumes that are more dilute and potentially more expensive to treat (Novak et al., 2002).

More specific than the case study is the overall scenario of the IMPROVE project. It defines which tools have to be incorporated into the design environment, it describes which runs of an exemplary design process are regarded, and how cooperation is carried out within one company or between different companies. Of course, the overall scenario is based on the case study. The scenario was the basis for an advanced environment for the first phases of a design process in connection with the case study example. Clearly, the overall scenario changed from project cycle to project cycle.
