Granular and other bulk materials processing and conveying, bag emptying and disposal, and similar operations air into the process enclosure. Induced air picks up dust. If the system component, such as a bin, is tight, the induced air will reverse its path and carry the entrained dust back through the upstream opening, as shown in Fig. 7.4. ... 

Centralized methods of sensor networking make impractical demands on cable installations and network bandwidth. The burden on commnnication system components, networks, and human resources can be drastically rednced if raw data are processed at the source and the decisions conveyed. The same holds true for systems with relatively thin communications pipes between a source and the end network or systems with large numbers of devices. The physical world generates an nnlimited quantity of data that can be observed, monitored, and controlled, bnt wireless telecommunications infrastructure are finite. Thus, even as mobile broadband services become available, processing of... 

A. 102. In this section, a summary of the principal characteristics of the facility and the site shall be provided. The general arrangement and layout of the facility should be described, starting with the core and continuing with the secondary and tertiary systems to convey an impression of the facility and its components. The features important to operational safety shall be clearly identified. If the facility has novel features or involves unusual approaches to safety analysis, these shall be outlined. 

If casing limitations are fixed by user-supplied relief valves, this information should be conveyed to keep the vendor from rating the compressors on other data. Evaluations can be more of a problem if the same design basis isn t universal with all vendors. Startup and shutdown consideration influence various components, shaft end seals, seal system pressures, and even thrust bearings in some instances. The use of an alternate startup gas, or the desire to operate a gas compressor on air to aid in plant piping dryout should be covered. 

The first set of case studies illustrates errors due to the inadequate design of the human-machine interface (HMI). The HMI is the boundary across which information is transmitted between the process and the plant worker. In the context of process control, the HMI may consist of analog displays such as chart records and dials, or modem video display unit (VDU) based control systems. Besides display elements, the HMI also includes controls such as buttons and switches, or devices such as trackballs in the case of computer controlled systems. The concept of the HMI can also be extended to include all means of conveying information to the worker, including the labeling of control equipment components and chemical containers. Further discussion regarding the HMI is provided in Chapter 2. This section contains examples of deficiencies in the display of process information, in various forms of labeling, and the use of inappropriate instrumentation scales. 

Advances in quality control requirements for rubber compounds have demanded that special care is exercised in the weighing of the various fillers and critical small volume powders necessary for the formulation. Ingredient weighing systems are available which can be tailored to the specific requirements of individual factories. Additional components can include conveyors, bagging units and pneumatic conveyance systems. 

Abstract diagrams are good for many purposes. At the whiteboard, you want to exhibit the main ideas of something without all the details of program code. Perhaps you want to say what it does and not how, or what it requires of other components that plug in to it. And whether it s a single procedure or an entire planetwide distributed system, you want to fit it all on one board and convey useful things about it. 

Due to the possibility of producing electrostatic charges, consideration should be given to grounding the metallic components of piping systems conveying nonconductive fluids. 

All single-screw extruders have several common characteristics, as shown in Figs. 1.1 and 1.2. The main sections of the extruder include the barrel, a screw that fits inside the barrel, a motor-drive system for rotating the screw, and a control system for the barrel heaters and motor speed. Many innovations on the construction of these components have been developed by machine suppliers over the years. A hopper is attached to the barrel at the entrance end of the screw and the resin is either gravity-fed (flood-fed) into the feed section of the screw or metered (starve-fed) through the hopper to the screw flights. The resin can be in either a solid particle form or molten. If the resin feedstock is in the solid form, typically pellets (or powders), the extruder screw must first convey the pellets away from the feed opening, melt the resin, and then pump and pressurize it for a down-...
