In order to quantify the sometimes intangible elements of variability associated with the product design and the safety aspects in service requires an understanding of risk . The assessment of risk in terms of general engineering practice will be discussed next. This will lead to a better understanding of designing for quality and reliability, which is the main focus of the book. 

The choice of process is generally based on economic issues such as volume of seals to be produced elastomeric compound, cost and waste and product design. 

As an initial step, the product designer must anticipate the conditions of use and the performance requirements of the product, considering such factors as life expectancy, size, condition of use, shape, color, strength, and stiffness. These end use requirements can be ascertained through market analysis, surveys, examinations of similar products, testing, and general experience. A clear definition of product requirements will often lead directly to choice of the material of construction. At times incomplete or improper product requirement analysis is the cause for a product to fail. 

The designer must be aware that as the degree of anisotropy increases, the number of constants or moduli required to describe the material increases with isotropic construction one could use the usual independent constants to describe the mechanical response of materials, namely, Young s modulus and Poisson s ratio (Chapter 2). With no prior experience or available data for a particular product design, uncertainty of material properties along with questionable applicability of the simple analysis techniques generally used require end use testing of molded products before final approval of its performance is determined. 

Polymeric formulas typically have low osmolality of 300 to 500 mOsm/kg. These formulas also usually supply essential vitamins and minerals in amounts similar to the Adequate Intakes or Recommended Dietary Allowances for these nutrients when the formula is delivered in amounts adequate to meet the macronutrient requirements of most patients. Many polymeric formulas are inexpensive relative to oligomeric formulas. Most polymeric formulas are lactose-free and gluten-free, as are most modern tube feeding products. Products designed to be used as oral supplements generally are polymeric and often have sucrose or other simple sugars added to improve taste. 

Potential problems with an ATES loop are illustrated in Figure 39 and encounter a number of events that are related to the chemical behaviour of the system. However, the figure also illustrates problems connected to a general system design, such as aeration and sand production. These types of problems may also have secondary damaging impacts on surroundings buildings and the environment. 

As noted above, the original product design problem was to formulate a cleansing bar that did not leave a bathtub ring. In addition to this primary attribute, however, the product had to be generally recognizable as a high qual-... 

Sulfuric Acid Options - To meet current standards, sulfuric acid plants must generally be designed as double-contact, doubleabsorption plants (6), or they must use a tail-gas scrubbing step to generate an alternate product, e.g., ammonium sulfate. 

However, if a gaseous reagent or product is involved, the task of homogenisation becomes much more difficult, as the uptake and release of gases from solution are very slow processes. Generally, special designs of agitator are required.
