Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes

Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes

In Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes the term optimization means the maximizing of productivity and safety while minimizing operating costs. In a fully optimized plant efficiency and productivity are continuously maximized while levels temperatures pressures or flows float within their allowable limits. This control philosophy differs from earlier approaches - where levels and temperatures were controlled at constant values and plant productivity was only an accidental uncontrolled consequence of those controlled variables. With this approach the sides of a multivariable control envelope are the various constraints while inside the envelope the process is continuously moved to maximize efficiency and productivity. Because one must understand a process before one can control it (let alone optimize it) Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes discusses the personality and characteristics of each process in term of its time constants gains and other unique features. This book provides information for engineers who design or operate industrial plants and who seek to increase the profitability of their plants. It recognizes that all industrial processes involve operations such as material transportation heat transfer and reactions. Therefore each plant consists of a combination of basic unit operations and can be optimized by maximizing the efficiency and minimizing the operating cost of the individual unit operations from which it is composed. Optimization of Industrial Unit Processes discusses real world processes - where pipes leak sensors plug and pumps cavitate - offering practical solutions to real problems. Each control system described in the book works illustrating the state of the art in controlling a particular unit operation. This second edition reflects the continual improvement and evolution of control systems as well as anticipates future advances. Bela G. Liptak speaks on Post-Oil Energy Technology on the AT&T Tech Channel.

Multi-Unit Housing in Urban Cities From 1800 to Present Day

Multi-Unit Housing in Urban Cities From 1800 to Present Day

This book investigates the development of multi-unit housing typologies that were predominant in a particular city from the 1800s to present day. It emphasises the importance of understanding the direct connection between housing and dwelling in the context of a city and the manner in which the city is an instructional indication of how a housing typology is embodied. The case studies presented offer an insight into why a certain housing type flourished in a specific city and the variety span across cities in the world where distinct housing types have prevailed. It also pursues how housing types developed evolved and helped define the city looks into how dwellers inhabited their dwellings and analyses how the housing typologies correlates in a contemporary context. The typologies studied are back-to-backs in Birmingham; tenements in London; Haussmann Apartment in Paris; tenements in New York; tong lau in Hong Kong; perimeter block linear block and block-edge in Berlin; perimeter block and solitaire in Amsterdam; space-enclosing structure in Beijing; micro house in Tokyo and high-rise in Toronto. | Multi-Unit Housing in Urban Cities From 1800 to Present Day

Teachers Learners Modes of Practice Theory and Methodology for Identifying Knowledge Development

Teachers Learners Modes of Practice Theory and Methodology for Identifying Knowledge Development

Summarizing a half century of work on the problem of identifying units of analysis for complex human behaviour this book introduces modes of practice as a unit of analysis for the science and design of human activities and shows how to record them and create field guides at scales from individual to society. Revealing scientific analysis of human practices has been hampered by the lack of a unit of analysis Dirlam describes how the difficulties of defining a unit are overcome by combining insights from mathematics and human development. Part II presents methods for developmental surveys and interviews that enable social scientists designers and education or training assessment professionals to gather data on modes of practice. Part III provides practical descriptions of how to organize interviews into developmental surveys that can be used by a community. Part IV inspires future advances in research and design. Concrete examples from science design and learning assessment are used throughout and the appendix includes the results of 300 developmental interviews organized into exploratory descriptions of modes of practice and commitment. | Teachers Learners Modes of Practice Theory and Methodology for Identifying Knowledge Development

Sexual Deviance and Society A Sociological Examination

Sexual Deviance and Society A Sociological Examination

In a society where sexualized media has become background noise we are frequently discouraged from frank and open discussions about sex and offered few tools for understanding sexual behaviors and sexualities that are perceived as being out of the norm. This book encourages readers to establish new ways of thinking about stigmatized people and behaviors and to think critically about gender sex sexuality and sex crimes. Sexual Deviance and Society uses sociological theories of crime deviance gender and sexuality to construct a framework for understanding sexual deviance. This book is divided into four units: Unit I Sociology of Deviance and Sexuality lays the foundation for understanding sex and sexuality through sociological frameworks of deviance. Unit II Sexual Deviance provides an in-depth dialogue to its readers about the sociological constructions of sexual deviance with a critical focus on contemporary and historical conceptualizations. Unit III Deviant Sexual Acts explores a variety of deviant sexual acts in detail including sex in public fetishes and sex work. Unit IV Sex Crimes and Criminals examines rape and sexual assault sex crimes against children and societal responses to sex offenders and their treatment within the criminal justice system. This revised second edition includes new theoretical approaches such as Norm-Centered Stigma Theory; expands into new fields of criminology such as queer criminology; more deeply discusses nonbinary people’s experiences; includes updates to the landscape of LGBTQ rights; reviews new forms of sexual deviance including incels and revenge porn; covers the latest developments in the #MeToo movement; and expands on the discussion of SM including the Fifty Shades Phenomenon. In addition this edition reviews the ever-evolving world of sex work and camming by examining how Pornhub OnlyFans and exotic dancers/strip clubs have revolutionized sex work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing an integrative approach that creates a dialogue between the subjects of gender/sexuality criminology and deviance this book is a key resource for students interested in developing a critical understanding of sex sexuality and sex crime. | Sexual Deviance and Society A Sociological Examination

The Curricular Approach to Student Affairs A Revolutionary Shift for Learning Beyond the Classroom

The Curricular Approach to Student Affairs A Revolutionary Shift for Learning Beyond the Classroom

The curricular approach aligns the mission goals outcomes and practices of a student affairs division unit or other unit that works to educate students beyond the classroom with those of the institution and organizes intentional and developmentally sequenced strategies to facilitate student learning. In this book the authors explain how to implement a curricular approach for educating students beyond the classroom. The book is based on more than a decade of implementing curricular approaches on multiple campuses contributing to the scholarship on the curricular approach and helping many campuses design implement and assess their student learning efforts. The curricular approach is rooted in scholarship and the connections between what we know about learning assessment pedagogy and student success. For many who have been socialized in a more traditional programming approach it may feel revolutionary. Yet it is also obvious because it is straightforward and simple. | The Curricular Approach to Student Affairs A Revolutionary Shift for Learning Beyond the Classroom
