The argument developed in Section 4.2.1.2 can be extended for three or more steps of cooling, to give the same efficiency as the uncooled cycle. Indeed the efficiency will be the same for multi-step cooling, with infinitesimal amounts of air abstracted at an infinite number of points along the compressor to cool each infinitesimal turbine stage at the required pressures. 

There are different coating techniques. The woven and nonwoven fabrics normally involves three steps as it passes from the unwind roll to the rewind roll. Powder is metered onto the fabric, heated in an oven (gas or electric) that are usually divided into several heating zones, and cooled by a chill roll. 

The compounds were mixed in three steps The first two steps were done in an internal mixer with a mixing chamber volume of 390 mL. The mixing procedures employed in the first two steps are indicated in Table 29.2. The starting temperamre was 50°C and the cooling water was kept at a constant temperature of 50°C. The rotor speed was 100 rpm and the fill factor 66%. After every mixing step the compound was sheeted out on a 100-mL two-roll mill. The third mixing step was done on the same two-roll mill. The accelerators and sulfur were added during this step. 

The samples were submitted to the sulfidation procedure described above, followed by 2 h of heating at 673 K, under vacuum (about 2x10 3 Pa). After cooling under vacuum, pyridine was adsorbed at room temperature for 30 minutes. The samples were then outgassed in three steps of 1 h the first one at room temperature and the others at 423 K and 523 K. Spectra were taken before pyridine adsorption and after each outgassing step, with a FTIR spectrometer Bruker IFS-88 (spectral resolution set at 1 cm ). Each spectrum represented the average of at least 50 scans. 

In order to make useful products from polymers we typically follow a three-step process in which we sequentially melt, shape, and cool the polymer. Naturally, given the wide variety of polymers available and their myriad applications, variations on this general process abound. In this chapter, we will concentrate on extrusion, some variant of which is used in the majority of commercial fabrication processes. 

A stoichiometric amount of adipic acid (52.97 g, 0.363 mol) was added in three steps. The first aliquot (16 g) was added to the mechanically stirred mixture and the temperature was increased to 80 °C until the adipic acid was completely dissolved. The mixture was allowed to cool to 70 °C and 1.5 % Novozym 435 (1.44 g) was added. 

A reversible cycle also can be completed in three steps, such as isothermal expansion (at from V to V2, cooling (at constant V2) from 2 to Ti, and adiabatic compression back to the initial state. 

In the butane route, a chemically complicated three-step process is needed to get from the feed to EDO. The two feeds, oxygen (air is used) and butane, are fed to a fluid bed reactor admixed with a catalyst. In a fluid bed reactor, the feeds and catalyst move continuously and, in this case, at a uniform temperature that allows optimum conditions for the catalyst to do its work. Butane and oxygen react to form maleic anhydride (MA), a cyclic compound. The fixed bed reactor effluent gases are taken off overhead, cooled, and filtered to remove entrained catalyst particles. The gases are then... 

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis. Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is applied only to equipment. It is used to determine how equipment could fail, the effect of the failure, and the likelihood of failure. There are three steps in an FMEA (4) (7) define the purpose, objectives, and scope. Large processes are broken down into smaller systems such as feed or cooling. At first, the failures are only considered to affect the system. In a more general study, the effects on a plant-wide basis can be considered. (2) Define the problem and boundary conditions. This includes identifying the system to be studied, establishing the physical boundaries, and labeling the equipment with a unique identifier for use in the FMEA procedure. (3)... 

The solution to equations 12-14 for the growth of a pseudobinary compound, A JB C, can be expressed in analytical form (94) for the three common temperature programs ramp or equilibrium cooling, step cooling, and supercooling. The expressions for thickness as a function of time are given by ... 

In the portland cement manufacturing process, three steps occur. First, raw materials are crushed and mixed. The raw materials are powdered limestone, alumina, iron, and silica. Second, the raw materials are fed to an inclined rotary kiln in which they are heated to at least 2700 F. A rock-like substance called clinker is formed, which exits the kiln and is cooled. Third, the cooled clinker is finely crushed, and about 5 percent gypsum is added to produce finished cement. Details of the process are explained below. 

The quality of the reduced kinetic models, as compared to the detailed model, has been evaluated in simulation by comparing their ability in tracking a few assigned temperature profiles. For the sake of simplicity, only the results obtained for the temperature profile shown in Fig. 3.2 are presented. The test profile considered consists of three steps heating of reactants up to a set-point temperature, reaction phase at constant temperature, and cooling down to ambient conditions. 

A literature search indicates that yields of 85 to 95 percent have been obtained in the alkylation step, while yields for the sulfonation process are substantially 100 percent, and yields for the neutralization step are always 95 percent or greater. All three steps are exothermic and require some form of jacketed cooling around the stirred reactor to maintain isothermal reaction temperatures. 

Altogether, the correlation function of super-cooled liquids near Tg has to be described at least by a three-step function, reflecting relaxation processes on quite different time scales. This is schematically shown in Fig. 6.
