The basic design problems

Now that we have a basic set of equations, we may ask what can be done with them. Let us take the case in which pressure is a known function of position and varies so little that it may be replaced by an average value. Then for a single reaction we have the pairs of equations. 

We note that the reaction rate can be eliminated between the two expressions to give 

Three basic types of design may now arise, some of which we have met already. They are  

Finally, we may specify the way in which the heat is removed and derive another equation to express this. If the coolant temperature at point z is r/z) it is often possible to take 

In the next section we shall explore the problem of choosing T z) optimally in an effort to see what the maximum performance of a tubular reactor may be. In Sec. 9.7 we shall look at the cocurrent and countercurrent cooled reactors, and other problems of the third sort. For the moment, however, we need

To solve the basic design problem of high speed and power, there are two general possibilities to design a gear with power split, i.e., with two or more power paths or to increase the limits for toothings and bearings by development of these components. 

Two types of contractors will be utilized a perforated-plate column for S i and a packed column for Sj. The basic design and cost data that should be employed in this problem are given by El-Halwagi and Manousiouthakis (Chem. Eng. Sci., 45(9), p. 2831, 1990a). 

A design based on the enclosure open-area control velocity does not consider all the other variables listed as affecting dust control. Calculation procedures to predict many of the other variables would be very complicated if not impossible to perform. Physical modeling of the problem and solution w as therefore used as the basic design tool. 

Three basic design problems, which to an extent have now been resolved, existed with the original five units supplied to Murchison platform First, the flow/ntio-coatrol problem with the reject stream was a result of gas breakout causing two-phase flow. This has been folly resolved by use of the pressure-control system described previously. 

The basic design needs to be confirmed by the customer. Does the proposed part actually look like what is required, and will it fit into the rest of the equipment if it is part of a larger assembly If not previously discussed with the supplier, any potential trouble points like sharp corners or butt joints should be brought to the attention of the customer and the potential problems resolved. If the part is a noncritical item or if there is knowledge available from previous similar items, the part can be evaluated by the customer. Flexibility, deformation under load, and correct functioning in an assembly can be verified using the part. 

Several of the general promoter prediction programs followed the basic design of Prestridge who used the Eukaryotic Promoter Database (EPD) by Bucher [51] to train his software for promoter recognition. His program PromoterScan was the first published method to tackle this problem [52]. 

Gaicia and Morari Ind. Eng. Chem. Process Des. Dev. 21 308, 1982) have used a similar approach in developing internal model control (IMC). The method gives the control engineer a different perspective on the eontroller design problem. The basic idea of IMC is to use a model of the openloop process Gm ) transfer funetion in sueh a way that the selection of the speeified elosedloop response yields a physically realizable feedbaek eontroller. 

In the present application, such a device can serve, too, to facilitate a convergence check on the numerically calculated value of an integral. This extension of the basic design is introduced as an exercise, rather than a main component of the general spreadsheet. Convergence problems are not significant at the level of accuracy of interest in this book. 

The process forces system design and development personnel to understand and develop the relationships among component, subsystem, and system reliabilities. This leads to an understanding of the basic reliability problems inherent in the design. 

Corrosion problems on commercial aircraft are the result of combinations of factors whose causes can be found in the basic design, manufacturing, and operations of the aircraft. Some of these factors are summarized in Table 1 (manufacturer), and Table 2 (operator and service environment). These present unique problems to the manufacturer who must make the best design, materials, and process choices that are compatible with structural requirements and the economics of building and operating an airplane. In order to achieve these ends, corrosion testing must help establish requirements for structural materials and compatible finish systems, as well as a host of manufacturing aids, interior materials, and operational maintenance fluids that will... 

Materials of construction are important considerations in the basic design. Most decanters are constructed with the parts in contact with the process in some form of stainless steel. Although some manufacturers successfully use carbon steel, others have not been as fortunate, due to severe corrosion and associated problems.
