Generalizing the Design

As one may expect from optimum designs there is only one scheme for similar situations. As for the box above the next will show other examples of 22 designs. 

Assume, e.g., the treatment of a contaminated soil. Attempts are made to decompose the pollutant y a particular organic compound, by application of an acid or a base at low or high temperature. Hence for every soil sample (possibly a third factor. ..) we have four treatments  

Another example may be checking of the blank response of an ammonia ion selective electrode under different experimental conditions, namely the age of the sensor membrane and the speed at which the measuring solution is stirred. 

The general scheme of the 22 design, and of similar ones, is based on a simple transformation procedure which uses the half-range, hr, and the central value, cv, of the values (levels) of each factor, x  

all the levels, xh of each factor can be transformed according to

In subsequent sections the emphasis will be on the human factors aspects of these systems. In general, the design principles which will be set out will apply to both types of system. However, distinctions will be made where appropriate. 

Chapter 2 developed a methodology for treating multiple and complex reactions in batch reactors. The methodology is now applied to piston flow reactors. Chapter 3 also generalizes the design equations for piston flow beyond the simple case of constant density and constant velocity. The key assumption of piston flow remains intact there must be complete mixing in the direction perpendicular to flow and no mixing in the direction of flow. The fluid density and reactor cross section are allowed to vary. The pressure drop in the reactor is calculated. Transpiration is briefly considered. Scaleup and scaledown techniques for tubular reactors are developed in some detail. 

From the design viewpoint, Eq. (78) could be coupled with Eq. (71) to obtain an approximation of the system performance and if the liquid temperature profile can be estimated, the same procedure can be followed with Eq. (80). However, in general the design engineer needs to use analytical expressions for the absolute rates of vaporization and condensation, so that with a knowledge of the rate terms and the other parameters, Eqs. (71) and (72) could be solved for the temperature and mass flow-rate profiles. 

On a larger scale, more-complex models can be used to represent the types of whole systems or components and are usually shown pictorially. In an abstract model, the attributes and their types are chosen to help specify the operations on the component as a whole and, according to good object-oriented analysis practice, are based on a model of the domain. However, anyone who has been involved in practical OOD is aware that the design phase introduces all sorts of extra classes as patterns are applied to help generalize the design, make it more efficient, distribute the design, provide persistence or a GUI, and so on. But we can still retrieve the abstract model from any tme implementation in the same way as for the simpler models. 

Work of Generalization. Reuse extends from simply calling the same routine from different parts of a program to publishing a design on the Internet. Whatever the scope, some work is necessary to generalize the design, as we discussed in Section 11.1.4, A Reuse Culture. 

The Editor would draw attention to the unsatisfactory state of the nomenclature of organometallic compounds in general. The designations of compounds in Volume XI. are those used in the original memoirs, since any attempt to alter these in a work of that description would only complicate matters.

In general, the design objective is to determine the most cost-effective remedial design. The cost functions for pump-and-treat remediation using granular activated carbon (GAC) derived by Culver and Shenk (1998) were adapted for this analysis. In addition to the operating costs and the treatment capital costs considered by Culver and Shenk (1998), the capital costs of well installation have also been included, and the carbon utilization costs are calculated at every simulation time step. Thus the objective function can be described as follows ... 

In general, the design of production lines for medical goods should allow a higher degree of flexibility than with large-volume consumer items, since orders can be smaller and there may be considerable variations of size within any one range. 

In general, the design policy to be followed is to utilize as much laboratory and pilot plant information as possible, to work it into whatever theoretical pattern is applicable, and to finish off with a comfortable safety factor. There may be people who know how they should be consulted. 

In general, the design of a quality assurance program should take the following factors into account ... 

Generally, the design of modern solution algorithms for fluid flow problems is associated with the choice of primitive variables, the grid arrangement, and the solution approach [133]. In the class of pressure-based solution algorithms, both fully coupled and segregated approaches have been proposed. In the coupled approach, the discretized forms of the momentum and continuity... 

When examining the phase behavior of compounds in carbon dioxide, it is important to note that both solid-fluid phase behavior (solubility) and liquid-liquid phase behavior (miscibility) are reported in the literature. In general, the designation of one material as more or less C02-philic than another refers to whether solubility or miscibility pressures (for a given concentration) are relatively lower or higher than those of the comparison material. 

In general the design of heat exchangers involves the determination of the required area A. The necessary heat transfer, the temperatures and the fluids are generally known from the process specification, the individual heat transfer coefficients of the fluids may be calculated, and values of the fouling resistances on either side of the heat exchanger would have to be estimated. It is the latter that can be difficult and if the resistances are incorrectly estimated difficulties in subsequent operation may be manifest.
