Design flexibility

High-pressure capabihty to provide design flexibility.

The more reeent eombination of standardized eompressor modules and eustomized eomponents with integrally geared radial turbines has opened new possibilities. Integrally geared radial turboexpanders represent eonsiderable design flexibility and this, in turn, allows... 

Beeause there is eonsiderable design flexibility in aeeommodating optimum turbine speed, standard meehanieal drive steam turbines are often ehosen. The offset aiTangement (Figure 4-41) provides additional freedom for the turboset eomponent layout. 

Large-scale adhesive bonding of steel is of great interest to the automotive and appliance industries because of the opportunities it provides for design flexibility, weight savings, and manufacturing economy. Because of its economic importance. 

Design flexibility the packing should have a wide operating range with little variation in efficiency for changes in gas and liquid flow rates.

The reinforcement of rubbers using nylon, rayon, vinyl, and polyester fibers was reported by various authors [10,58,73-75]. Because of the design flexibility and suitable end-use applications, high-performance fibers such as glass, carbon, and aramid also find extensive applications in short fiber-reinforced mbbers. A brief description of some of the major high-performance fibers commonly used in short fiber-rubber composites is given below ... 

Unsaturated polyesters have overcome consumer acceptance issues of durability and design flexibility while providing cost-effective substitution of traditional building materials such as steel, cast iron, wood and ceramics. 

The process provides fast molding cycles, unlimited shelf life for the sheet, large part capability, and design flexibility. The process also allows for scrap materials to be recycled. Trim waste from the molding operation and defective parts can be ground up and recycled into the basic sheet process in controlled amounts. Some of this waste has also been used as input for injection molding. 

In addition to the reduced cost, on-line consolidation also offers benefits for design flexibility and performance. With localized heating, this process is inherently suitable for manufacturing parts with large surfaces and moderate curvatures, such as fuselage structures and deep submersibles [5]. Because the towpreg is fully consolidated and locked in the vicinity of the melting zone as it is placed onto the structure, there is no conceptual limitation... 

Langmuir-Blodgett was the first technique to provide a practical route for the construction of ordered molecular assemblies. These monolayers, which provide design flexibility both at the individual molecular and at the material levels, are prepared at the water—air interface using a fully computerized trough (Fig. 1). Detailed discussions of troughs (4) and of surface pressure, 7T, and methods of surface pressure measurements are available (3,6).
