Engineer calling

The chief engineer calls you into his office and asks you to prepare an outline design for an inert gas purging and blanketing system for the reactors and other equipment, on shutdown. This request arises from a report into an explosion and fire at another site manufacturing a similar product. 

An example of this is a commercial central power station using a heat engine called a Rankine steam power plant. The Rankine heat engine... 

Incident solar energy is absorbed by the surface water of the oceans. Ocean surface temperatures in excess of 26°C occur near the equator. Pure water has a maximum density at a temperature of 4°C. The chilled water tends to settle to the depths of the ocean. The combination of the warmed ocean surface water and cold deep ocean water provides the thermodynamic condition needed to operate a heat engine called ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). A typical closed-cycle OTEC Rankine cycle using a working fluid such as ammonia or a freon is suggested. 

You may have at times come up with homotopy-like techniques for reaching a solution what some engineers call "sneaking up on the answer, For instance, water often causes nonideal behavior and can make the solution difficult. One can first solve the column with water absent from the feed, then slowly increase the amount of water, solving the column at each increase, with all of the profiles from one solution used to initialize the next. Methods like these are described by Brierley and Smith (106). 

If t Zq, which is a case of practical interest, we may approximate the resonance condition as nkt qTT. The minimum reflected power is zero on resonance, regardless of the surface reflectivity, and all of the power is transmitted. This is an example of what optical engineers call an absentee layer. There is also a transmission line analogy to the present case. A... 

November 3, 1999- TOCDF system engineer calls LIC slag removal system "fatally flawed"—engineers have to "jumper" the system code to get the system to operate correctly. 

Activities. The activities to be performed depend on the product structure, feedback may require the re-execution of terminated activities, concurrent/simultaneous engineering calls for sophisticated coordination of related activities, etc. 

Electrical engineers call e the lead or, if negative, the lag of the electric current. 

Having calculated Si and S2 it is possible to calculate the soil loading, S, which is the sum of the two. The maximum soil load occurs at the edge of the foundation shown as point F in Figure 11-1. Many structural engineers call this the soil pressure. 

To address this point, a new class of search engines called meta-search engines have been developed. These programs will take the user s query and poll anywhere from 5-10 of the traditional search engines. The meta-search engine will then... 

Successful systems engineering calls for a combined holistic approach and understanding of which techniques are suited to achieve success. This is depicted in Fig. 16.6. 

Isolation process of hemicellulose has been in conformity with the principles of green chemistry. The latter sets guidelines for the chemical industry in order to secure sustainable development, while increasing process economy. Briefly, green chemistry and the related green engineering call for an increase in and/or upgrading of... 

In a complex environment, checklists help us deal with two basic issues the fallibility of human memory and attention, especially when it comes to mundane routine matters that are easily overlooked under the strain of more pressing events. Faulty memory and distraction are a particular danger in what engineers call all-or-none processes. If you miss one key thing you might as well not have made the effort at all ... 

The final step is optimizing the production process of the material. Chemical engineers call this step design. 

Functionally, however, collaborative engineering calls on a very large cross section of enterprise constituencies and is not limited to engineering or manufacturing professionals. 

To do this, we must consider an idealized model of a heat engine called a Camot heat engine, which operates between a high-temperature heat source at temperature Ti, and a colder heat sink at temperature Tc, as shown. 

Two hybrids can be connected together to form what some engineers call a hybrid ring. As shown in Fig. 13.90, when an RF signal is applied to port 1, the energy flows diagonally across and exits port 4 with little loss ports 2 and 3 are isolated by a factor of 35 dB. If the two hybrids are tuned for a specific frequency this isolation can be optimized to 40 dB.
