Tier 0 and Tier 1 costs are direct and indirect costs. They include the engineering, materials, labor, construction, contingency, etc., as well as waste-collection and transportation services (in many cases we simply transform an air pollution problem into a solid waste or wastewater problem that requires final treatment and disposal), raw-material consumption (increase or decrease), and production costs. Tier 2 and... 

Equations 8.24 and 8.25 only apply to elastically brittle solids such as glass. However, many engineering materials only break in a truly brittle manner at very low temperature and above these temperatures failures are pseudo-brittle. These have many of the features of brittle fracture but include limited ductility. This plastic work can be included in the above equations, i.e. 

Chemical engineering students interested in electronic materials need to understand the elements of electrical engineering and solid-state physics in order to work productively with colleagues in these disciplines. 

The thermal conductivity of a solid is determined by its form and structure, as well as composition. Values for the commonly used engineering materials are given in various handbooks.

A vast number of engineering materials are used in solid form, but during processing may be found in vapor or liquid phases. The vapor— solid (condensation) and liquid—>solid (solidification) transformations take place at a distinct interface whose motion determines the rate of formation of the solid. In this chapter we consider some of the factors that influence the kinetics of vapor/solid and liquid/solid interface motion. Because vapor and liquid phases lack long-range structural order, the primary structural features that may influence the motion of these interfaces are those at the solid surface.

Functionalization of pentacene with the specific aim of improving performance in devices is a recent endeavor - the first use of a functionalized pentacene in a field-effect transistor was reported only recently (2003) [26], Functionalization of pentacene has led to the ability to engineer the solid-state arrangement, electronic, and solubility properties of this important semiconductor and to improve its stability and film-forming ability. Recent functionalized pentacene materials have yielded devices with properties comparable with those of the parent acene, have enabled the formation of devices from solution-deposited films, and have even changed the semiconductor behavior of this organic molecule from p-type to n-type. As functionalization strategies are refined, materials with all of the properties necessary for commercial device applications should soon be developed.

Often, foods must be treated as engineering materials. Heat has to be transported so that the components become cooked or harmful microorganisms and toxins become inactivated. Even in the kitchen, mixing involves the mass transfer of liquids and solids to form metastable structures, which are fixed by subsequent treatment by heat or cooling. Heat transfer properties are crucial in the formation of ice crystals in ice cream and fat crystals in chocolate products. Food materials have been used as a source of industrial components soybean proteins to manufacture auto parts in the 1940s, casein to make buttons and knitting pins, and starches in adhesives and thickeners.
