The lifetime of a conventional exhaust system on an average family car is only 2 years or so. This is hardly surprising - mild steel is the usual material and, as we have shown, it is not noted for its corrosion resistance. The interior of the system is not painted and begins to corrode immediately in the damp exhaust gases from the engine. The single coat of cheap cosmetic paint soon falls off the outside and rusting starts there, too, aided by the chloride ions from road salt, which help break down the iron oxide film. 

Engineering design with polymers starts with stiffness. But strength is also important, sometimes overridingly so. A plastic chair need not be very stiff - it may be more comfortable if it is a bit flexible - but it must not collapse plastically, or fail in a brittle manner, when sat upon. There are numerous examples of the use of polymers (luggage, casings of appliances, interior components for automobiles) where strength, not stiffness, is the major consideration. 

We will discuss three different approaches to engineer a more thermostable protein than wild-type T4 lysozyme, namely (1) reducing the difference in entropy between folded and unfolded protein, which in practice means reducing the number of conformations in the unfolded state, (2) stabilizing tbe a helices, and (3) increasing the number of bydropbobic interactions in tbe interior core. 

Driving by personal vehicle is the most popular mode of transportation. And although there is a desire for a fuel-efficient automobile, fuel efficiency is a consideration well behind style, performance, comfort, durability, reliability, status, and safety. The weak demand for a 40 mpg automobile occurs for several reasons It is not a status symbol (not stylistic), accelerates too slowly (smaller engine), cramps the driver and occupants (smaller interior), and often offers inadequate protection (too light) in case of an accident. 

Aluminium finishing paints are frequently used for the interior of dry-cargo holds because they help to improve lighting. Aluminium paint is also used in engine rooms the general requirement here is for hard-drying paints resistant to oils and to heat. 

Human engineering requirements often dictate the size, weight, and form of a product. This translates to smaller, lighter and contoured products as the ID works from the outside to its interior. Often this results in conflict with the company s engineering designer, who works basically from the interior to its outside. Compromise becomes an important factor as they all bring their require-...

The Bureau of Mines, within the Department of the Interior, funds a substantial amount of chemical engineering research in its in-house laboratories, particularly in the area of hydrometallrugical separation processes. The U.S. minerals industry is currently in a depressed state typified by diminished research efforts within industrial laboratories and, in some cases, wholesale termination of research operations. As a result, new researchers have bleak prospects for industrial employment. At the same time, the United States cannot afford to lose a professional generation of research persormel in an area that would be of critical importance if foreign supplies of certain metals were interrupted.
