Graphical design tools

The control toolbox supports an extremely nice root locus design graphics design tool that is ideal for experimentation. The interface is even more intuitive and self-explanatory than that of Simulink. We take the same approach as our introduction to Simulink and have moved the not so necessary and print-intensive window display and instructions to our Web Support. A very brief conceptual introduction is provided in this section. 

Many other scenarios can also be envisioned for refrofit HEN designs. These scenarios can be incorporated in and guide the use of the graphical design tools provided in this chapter.

The map in Figure 4.20 shows how the operating temperature affects the partial pressure of benzene in the effluent. This map is a design tool for our condenser analogous to the equations we developed as design tools in the previous chapter. More on graphical design tools will be presented later. 

Let s use the graphical design tools to determine the pressure needed to condense the benzene from the air at constant temperature. The process in Figure 4.21 compresses the benzene-air mixture to condense 90% of the benzene. The liquid is separated from...

We will use this method to develop two more graphical tools - one for the analysis of flash drums and another for multistage countercurrent distillation columns. There are many others - one cannot possibly learn them all. Again the key is to know how to create graphical design tools. 

KARMA is an interactive computer assisted drug design tool that incorporates quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), conformational analysis, and three-dimensional graphics. It represents a novel approach to receptor mapping analysis when the x-ray structure of the receptor site is not known, karma utilizes real time interactive three-dimensional color computer graphics combined with numerical computations and symbolic manipulation techniques from the field of artificial intelligence. 

IPC applications benefit from the existence of inexpensive software tools that greatly increase the speed of software production. The tools currently available allow flexibility of graphic design, use of standard programming blocks, and testing routines. 

The computer-aided design of potent inhibitors of influenza virus sialidase based on a crystal structure of the enzyme has been described. A combination of manual molecular graphics analysis and the de novo ligand design tool GRID was used to identify modifications to the... 

The conceptual design of distillation systems involving high non-ideal mixtures can be managed nowadays by means of systematic methods. These new methods combine the insight capabilities of graphical thermodynamic tools based on Residue Curve Maps with the power of computer simulation. The main ideas are ... 

We will introduce in this text two other methods to create design tools. These methods will also be summarized with figures similar to 3.15. The inputs to the units in Figure 3.15 will be the same. But the tools will be different and the manner in which the tools are used will be different. For example, in the next chapter we will create graphical methods rather than mathematical expressions. And we will use geometry, rather than arithmetic, to predict performance.
