Containment design method

Melt Index or Melt Viscosity. Melt index describes the flow behavior of a polymer at a specific temperature under specific pressure. If the melt index is low, its melt viscosity or melt flow resistance is high the latter is a term that denotes the resistance of molten polymer to flow when making film, pipe, or containers. ASTM D1238 is the designated method for this test. 

More shortcut design methods and rules of thumb have been developed for fractionation than probably any other unit operation. For example the paper reprinted in Appendix 5 on development of shortcut equipment design methods contains 18 references for fractionation shortcut methods out of 37 total. Both the process and mechanical aspects of fractionation design have useful rules of thumb. Many of the mechanical design rules of thumb become included in checklists of do s and don ts. 

This pocket guide contains selected rules of thumb and shortcut design methods meant to travel into the field as well as the office, even when the office is a hotel room. It contains updates on certain fast-moving technology and new material not found elsewhere. Miniaturization and easy retrieval of information are stressed. Those on the go can produce reasonable results quickly when using this book as a basic source. 

Risk Assessment Systems. Most of the techniques, design methods and applications in this book are deterministic. That is, some worst-case accident is assumed to happen, its effects are calculated to the best of our ability, and systems or structures are then designed to contain, suppress or mitigate the explosion accident effect. 

The first two of the above disadvantages of fixed design methods can be overcome by the use of iterative designs. These are methods in which an initial design that contains a minimum number of data points is used, then the results are investigated and the results of that investigation are used to conclude whether or not one or more new experiments are required, as well as where these additional experiments should be located in the parameter space. 

For the cases where a major portion of the heat is to be removed by latent or sensible heat transfer to a fluid inside the container, a different method of design is employed. All the power is transferred to the fluid but the y power transfer depends on the y absorption properties of the combined mixture of fluid and heat-generating substances within the vessel. Self-absorption calculations, using Fig. 10-6, are required. The design method is best illustrated by the solution of a typical problem. 

The handbook contains two methods of reliability prediction Part Stress Analysis and Parts Count Analysis. The two methods vary in the degree of information required to be provided. The Part Stress Analysis Method requires a greater amount of detailed information and is usually more applicable to the later design phase." The Parts Count Method requires less information such as part quantities, quality level, and application environment It is most applicable during early design or proposal phases of a project. The Parts Count Method will usually result in a higher failure rate or lower system rehabUity, a more conservative result than the Parts Stress Method would produce.
