Construction issues

The construction of a hand-dug caisson involves many days and sometimes runs into weeks depending on the depth and hardness of the soil to be removed. As sueh, it is normally neeessary for the 

Termination criteria of the caisson are usually specified by the engineer in the drawings. However, in many cases, because the caisson normally will carry high loads and its performance is critieal, inspection of every caisson by the engineer is recommended. This may involve three levels of check  

Ensure that the excavation level has been reached as shown in the drawings (as determined from soil investigation data and design calculations). 

Examination of rock quality to verify quality and consistency throughout the socket length. 

Review in situ test results e.g. by carrying out rock drilling tests (check rate of penetration) or localized plate load tests.

The above problem with H2 dissociation is a matter of wave function construction. The functional form of a restricted single-determinant wave function will not allow a pair of electrons in an orbital to separate into two different orbitals. Wave function construction issues were addressed in greater detail in Chapters 3 through 6.

The optimum operation of a batch reactor with this type of reaction is intuitively obvious. The reactor temperature should be increased to its maximum value as quickly as possible, without violating heat removal constraints, and held there until the desired conversion is attained. The high temperature will give the maximum reaction rate and therefore the shortest batch time. The maximum temperature constraint may occur because of side reactions, catalyst degradation, or materials of construction issues. 

Distillation is one of those unit operations that assumes its importance based on the scale of operation. Clearly, distillation is one of the most important operations in a petroleum manufacturing plant where separations of closely boiling liquids require sophisticated distillation column design, built upon detailed theoretical plate determinations, material of construction issues, and secondary distillation requirements. In the pharmaceutical industry, the recovery and recycle of a solvent (versus incineration) depends on process scale. Further insight into the problems that might be faced in recovering solvents (and reagents) is provided in the section entitled Dilevalol Hydrochloride Development of a Commercial Process. ... 

As discussed above, FSEC s S-NH3 cycle also utilizes decomposition of sulfuric acid as the endothermic step for the absorption of solar thermal heat and production of oxygen. However, high temperature concentration and decomposition of sulfur acid presents daunting materials of construction issues. Like the metal sulfate based TCWSCs, it is possible to modify the S-NH3 cycle and do without the decomposition of H2SO4. There are two ways to accomplish this. The first approach is to decompose ammonium sulfate produced in the hydrogen production step of the S-NH3 cycle (Reaction (111)) to a metal sulfate in the presence of a metal oxide catalyst. The second approach is to convert ammonium sulfate to metal pyrosulfate e.g. Zto 20i)-... 

Thom and Byers (35) discussed the design and construction issues that can lead to the inaccurate model predictions compared to field observations in that liquid distribution, packing materials, fouling, chemical reaction, and end effects were of great importance.

Most risks that modem societies face are not directly experienced by human senses, but are learned through conmnmication. We rarely face disasters personally. However, the media provide us with ample information about hazardous events (Kasperson, Pidgeon Slovic, 2003 Renn, 2008). Thus, how the media constructs issues, identifies and highlights different risks, will influence heavily how individuals apprehend risk and it will direct what the general population defines as threats (Lupton, 1999).

Also, operationally, dead volume issues can make it much more difficult to change from one reaction chemistry to another due to long clean-out times. In addition, it is possible to have particles drop out and ultimately plug the system in areas with low flow relative to the bulk of the stream. Hickman and Sobeck also mention thermal requirements for a system to achieve the isothermal characteristics that they needed. Operationally, reduced heat transfer limits the types of reactions that can be efficienfly controlled and also hot spots can lead to an increase in alternative reaction pathways with the formation of impurities. Finally, another problem that they encountered was that given the high surface to volume ratio of the equipment, the materials of constmction caused a problem for some chemistries that they wanted to study. It is not dear if the material of construction issue would be a problem for routine operation. Again, these are not really process analytical problems but they can...

Case studies are valuable aids to the instructor for a variety of general purposes. These purposes may be affective, i.e. to produee a partieular effect such as to spice up lectures and motivate students to study the subject matter through using ease studies of local interest or with a dramatic element, e.g. failures. Other general purposes may be cognitive, i.e. to show the contribution of a particular analysis to the complete set of calculations and to explain the construction issues associated with particular design decisions. 

This generic pattern points toward several constructive issues ...
