Purpose of engineering

Table 3 provides typieal maximum values for retentivities under standard conditions. The sorption effieieney e is a variable determined by the eharaeteristics of the partieular system, ineluding eoneentration and temperature. For the purposes of engineering design ealeulations, it is normally assumed to be unity. 

In practice this relationship is only approximately correct because most plastics are not linearly viscoelastic, nor do they obey completely the power law expressed by equation (2.62). However this does not detract from the considerable value of this simple relationship in expressing the approximate solution to a complex problem. For the purposes of engineering design the expression provides results which are sufficiently accurate for most purposes. In addition. 

In process operations, simultaneous transfer of momentum, heat, and mass occur within the walls of the equipment vessels and exchangers. Transfer processes usually take place with turbulent flow, under forced convection, with or without radiation heat transfer. One of the purposes of engineering science is to provide measurements, interpretations and theories which are useful in the design of equipment and processes, in terms of the residence time required in a given process apparatus. This is why we are concerned here with the coefficients of the governing rate laws that permit such design calculations. 

The effect of pseudo-plasticity was reportedly known for different plastisols, in particular, for plastisols II described in Sect. 3. The rheological behaviour of these systems with an accuracy sufficient for the purposes of engineering is given by the Bingham-Shvedov law within the extended range of shear rates (10-2 < y < 102) ... 

In this chapter the emphasis is on the methods to obtain data relevant for kinetic modeling and comparison of catalyst activities for the ultimate purpose of engineering applications. Some laboratory reactor types will be discussed, the procedure for kinetic modeling outlined together with the related parameter estimation and the determination of the rate constants in the rate expression. It should serve as a comprehensive reference to this type of activity in catalysis. Most of it comes from authoritive reviews [2-14],... 

While the effect of concentration is qualitatively evident, it is essential for purposes of engineering design and operation of adsorption processes that rather precise prediction of concentration or load effect be possible. Previous findings relative to the concentration dependence of... 

The virtual world that is established by model based engineering is in close connection with the designed, stored, visualized, and documented worlds (Eigure 2-3). The designed world is the physical world to be modeled. Modeling experts sometimes should remember that the final purpose of engineering activities is to... 

A distinction should be made between true density and bulk density. The true density is the actual density of a discrete particle or solid, whereas the bulk density is the density with the void volume between the particles included in the determination. In lieu of data, the bulk density may be assumed, for purposes of engineering calculations to be approximately 60% of the true density... 

For the purposes of structural design or evaluation, the variation or dechne of both the incident and dynamic pressures with time should be established, since the response of a structure subjected to a blast loading depends upon the time history of the loading as well as the dynamic response characteristics of the structure. The idealized form of the incident blast wave is characterized by an abrupt rise in pressure to a peak value, a period of decay to ambient pressure and a period in which the pressure is below ambient (the negative pressure phase). A simpler representation of only the positive blast pressure phase including reflected wave effects is usually sufficient for the purposes of engineering evaluation. 

A CSU is the smallest subdivision of a CSCI for the purposes of engineering management. CSUs are typically separately compiled and are testable pieces of code. 

Looking at professional work praetices can help us build such an understanding. As Gherardi (2012 8) points out Work is much more than an activity undertaken in order to achieve a predetermined purpose. Engineering work also embraces imderstandings of how to act in certain kinds of situations, principles and explicit rules to abide to, and an overall purpose of engineering work (Buch, 2015). As Reckwitz (2002 250) puts it A practice is thus a routinized way of which bodies are moved, objects are handled, subjects are treated, things are described and the world is understood.
