Troubleshooting overview

Several causes of V-belt failure and the action required to correct the problem are described in this section. Table 58.6 provides a troubleshooting overview. 

Overview Reconciliation adjusts the measurements to close constraints subject to their uncertainty. The numerical methods for reconciliation are based on the restriction that the measurements are only subject to random errors. Since all measurements have some unknown bias, this restriction is violated. The resultant adjusted measurements propagate these biases. Since troubleshooting, model development, ana parameter estimation will ultimately be based on these adjusted measurements, the biases will be incorporated into the conclusions, models, and parameter estimates. This potentially leads to errors in operation, control, and design. 

Overview Interpretation is the process for using the raw or adjusted unit measurements to troubleshoot, estimate parameters, detect faults, or develop a plant model. The interpretation of plant performance is defined as a discreet step but is often done simultaneously with the identification of hypotheses and suitable measurements and the treatment of those measurements. It is isolated here as a separate process for convenience of discussion. 

This section introduces simple polymer reaction chemistry used to produce many commodity polymers. Understanding this simplified approach to the chemistry of polymer production Is Important In troubleshooting many extrusion processes, especially those that are producing unwanted degradation products that contaminate the discharge resin. There are two general types of polymer production processes 1) step or condensation reactions, and 2) addition or vinyl polymerization reactions. An overview of the reaction mechanisms wifi be presented in the next sections.

Troubleshooting requires time. What one individual views as a problem may not be a significant barrier to achieving the overall goal. It may be appropriate to check with management or someone who has an overview of the situation before investing time and resources to identify the cause of a problem and resolve the difficulty.

Overview In this chapter we learn about nonideal reactors, that is, reactors that do not follow the models we have developed for ideal CSTRs, PFRs, and PBRs. In Pan I we describe how to characterize these nonideal reactors using the residence time distribution function (/), the mean residence time the cumulative distribution function Fit), and the variance a. Next we evaluate E t), F(t), and for idea) reactors, so that we have a reference proint as to how far our real (i.e., nonideal) reactor is off the norm from an ideal reactor. The functions (f) and F(r) will be developed for ideal PPRs. CSTRs and laminar flow reactors, Examples are given for diagnosing problems with real reactors by comparing and E(i) with ideal reactors. We will then use these ideal curves to help diagnose and troubleshoot bypassing and dead volume in real reactors. 

This overview selectively describes only those principles of condensation that directly pertain to operation and troubleshooting of distillation condensers. This overview omits several considerations foremost for optimizing condenser pressure drop and heat transfer, and leaves their coverage to most standard heat transfer texts and review articles (e.g., 69, 187, 310, 319). Even the principles covered are discussed rather briefly the reader is referred to the cited references for in-depth treatment.
