Exchangeability specific

Heat exchanger cost data usually can be manipulated such that the fixed costs, represented by the coefficient a in Eq. (7.20), do not vary with exchanger specification. If this is done, then Eq. (7.6), as derived in App. F, can be modified to ... 

Run LT-H catalyst volume, 0.00352 ft8, exchanger specifically installed to determine operating limits and overall ... 

Thus, to calculate the capital cost target for a network comprising mixed exchanger specifications, the procedure is as follows. 

Q.3.4.1 Revisions to this specification arc identified 1 Version Number. As of this writing, the Version Number is 1.0. Those organizations which develop proprietary systems which conform to this data exchange specification are responsible for maintaining compatibility with new Version Nmnbers. 

The last term (Sq/dt) is an implicit reaction term expressing the unknown rate law. This term is written so that it is applicable to ion exchange, specific adsorption, precipitation or an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. This is possible since Eq. (3.2) represents a single equation in two unknowns (Skopp and McAllister, 1986). 

For reasonable accuracy, this answer should be valid for almost any case. The example problem is an actual case in which the debutanizer feed heat exchanger specification will be set at 203°F accordingly. The debutanizer fractionator is designed and specified to receive a bubble point feed. To find such an answer, please note that the computer program simply ran a flash, finding a very small vapor flashing. 

The preceding equations are equally applicable to designing a shell-tube exchanger. Specifically, apply Eq. (5.8), using a selected Rd value for your particular service. In Eq. (5.8), remember that hd = 1/Rd. Thereby selecting an Rd value, you then calculate Ud, applying Eq. (5.8). 

FIGURE 24.2 Aggregate market capitalization of public combinatorial chemistry companies. Just as the ability to raise capital in combinatorial chemistry has increased steadily during the 1990s, so has the combined market capitalization of companies dedicated to the field that are also traded publicly in stock exchanges. Specifically, the combined market value of these companies has increased by a factor of 65 during the 1990s. Source Biovista (www.biovista.com).
