This month's Career Catalyst article offers some simple techniques for reducing stress and tension on the job.


In This Issue

Measurement and Control

Liquid Viscosity Correlations for Flowmeter Calculations

Use these graphs and equations to calculate liquid viscosity at any temperature. Roger  Gilmont - 

Environmental Protection

Outsourcing Environmental Compliance

Save money and reduce risks by contracting responsibility for maintaining compliance to a pollution-abatement expert. Stephen W. Blocki - 

Heat Transfer

Compact Heat Exchangers, Part 2: Using Plate Exchangers in Heat Recovery Networks

Here's how to incorporate plate-and-frame exchangers into new plant design using pinch analysis. Graham T. Polley - Christopher  Haslego - 

Reactions and Separations

Can We Believe the Simulation Results?

Be careful of these key issues that may generate differences between a distillation-tower simulation and its actual performance. Simulations do not always square with nuts-and-bolts reality. Henry Z. Kister - 

Fluids/Solids Handling

Don't Get Burned Picking Dry-Type Flame Arresters

These commonly used devices rely on an internal medium to extinguish flame fronts and take the punch out of shock waves, protecting piping, equipment and personnel. Selecting such equipment involves considering the probable type of combustion, placement in the plant and other factors. Stanley G. Grossel - 

Management

Objective Merit Review: Democracy in Action

Tailor these guidelines for reviewing competitive proposals to find the best project to support. David  Blanchfield - 

Career Catalyst

Stressed?

Follow these simple techniques to help you reduce stress and tension on the job. Robert W. Bly -
