The Design Philosophy

The design philosophy behind the fixed-base drive circuit is to draw current from a relatively low voltage source (3 to 5 V) which is usually provided by an auxiliary winding on the power transformer. The resistor directly in series with the base (R2 as shown in Figure 3-33) should be on the order of 100ohms. Its... 

The first problem area of the so-called anisotropic analysis will be broken down into two subareas shear-extension coupling and bend-twist coupling. We have already observed for the most complicated laminate in the design philosophy proposed earlier that the A,q and A26 stiffnesses are both zero. There is no shear-extension coupling in the context of that philosophy. However, in contemporary composite structures analyses, it is relatively easy to include the treatment of shear-extension coupling, so you should not be overwhelmed by that behavioral aspect or by the calculation of its influence. 

In this case the design was not at fault. The operators did not understand the design philosophy. Would this have been foreseen in a hazard and operability study (Section 18.7), and would special attention have been paid to the point in operator training ... 

The pilot plant stage Is vital in the scale-up of any new resin process, and in this paper we discuss the design philosophy of pilot plants and then describe two fully Instrumented and computer data logged reactors. Some indication is given of the use of the extracted data for both modelling and scale up. Both controlled and data logged parameters are tabulated and an example of data extraction for heat balance is illustrated. 

Evidently, the design philosophy that was adopted for the conceptual design of the Synthane process was this Inasmuch as "unlimited" amounts of char are available — as an inherent byproduct of the Synthane gasifier and therefore at "no cost" —the... 

A common mistake in many safety reviews is to delve into the analysis without a basic understanding or agreement of how the facility was designed or intended to be operated. Prior to a discussion of the hazards and consequences, the team should identify and agree to the design philosophy of the facility under review. Sometimes, some features of a facility are assumed, but never documented. 

The facility is manned (operated) with an adequate staff as intended by the design philosophy. 

Simple checks on the heat exchanger as delivered ensures that the design philosophy has been carried through to the finished product. A general check list may be as follows ... 

Electrical Equipment Protection. Equipment must be constantly protected against excessively high currents from short circuits or faulty operation. Circuit breakers which open the circuit automatically on overload are sized and installed throughout the entire distribution system, including both primary and secondary systems. The design philosophy is to confine the interruption to the piece of equipment or circuit at fault, thereby avoiding interruption of an entire plant. 

The design philosophy determines the emphasis placed on controlling corrosion by this means, as opposed to spending resources at the construction stage to prevent corrosion. Planned maintenance should be avoided when maintenance labor costs are high or spares may be difficult to procure. 

This paper sets out the design philosophy, the specification and functional description of these devices, and illustrates a number of different applications where they have been employed. 

This paper presents a summary of the design philosophy, analysis methods, and member and connection selection for the design of tall A-Frame structures utilizing ground mounted Koepe Hoists. 

Perhaps the design philosophy for future Installations should be to continue using the PCRV as a means of support for the liner but In some way free the liner to allow Independent movement and subsequent easier dismantling on decommissioning. 

The design philosophy of the NUPLEX 80+ local control stations is described in CESSAR-DC, Section 18.7.1.6.2. Adequate communications are provided between the local stations and the main control room as discussed in CESSAR-DC, Section 9.5.2. Because the actuation of local... 

The other aspect of noble metal plate out is the fact that heat exchangers will be substantially activated, which greatly complicates service and/or repair. The design philosophy of early developers was to strive for the highest quality of construction, and if tube leaks or other defects did arise, to shutdown and swap out the entire tube bundle. Only after years in shielded storage would a decision be made on tube bundle repair. 

The design philosophy in a universal transport system, as described in the following sections, will help the designer/user to plan and implement a backbone and horizontal network. This network will be apphcation independent and will avoid recabhng expenses. The communication network planner can be assured of maximum cable plant flexibihty as well as minimum installation and administration costs by following the UTS recommendations. Thus, whether installing a complete fiber optic infrastructure or a simple point-to-point link for a specific apphcation, the UTS end user receives a cabling system of maximum utility. 

The design philosophy for the UNI THERM is to assure that the radiation impact on personnel, population and the environment under normal operation and in design basis accidents is much lower, or at least does not exceed, the limits prescribed by current regulations. In beyond design basis accidents, the design objective is to constrain the radiation impacts as much as possible.
