Computing and Systems Engineering
Dynamic Capacity Modeling of Product Development
Brian E. Hartman, Jospeh S. Alford Jr., Prashant B. Kokitkar
Avoid large work queues by proactively anticipating the resource needs of your company using dynamic capacity models.
Simplify Experimental Design
Joseph F. Louvar
Save time and money by using this approach to fractional-factorial design of experiments (DOE) for studies involving six or seven variables. <br>
Beware of Errors in Numerical Problem-Solving
Michael B. Cutlip, Michael Elly, Mordechai Shacham
Understand how to detect and prevent common errors when using mathematical software tools.
Numerical Simulation of Reciprocating Pumps and Air-Operated Motors
Stephen D. Able
Simulation can help to ensure proper design and performance. Checks can be made for possible problems such as cavitation, and the pump and system can be modified to prevent trouble.
Audit Your New EHS Software System
Jill Barson Gilbert
A post-implementation audit of the environmental, health and safety management information system evaluates how well the software meets user needs and its value to the organization.
Using High-Fidelity Dynamic Simulation to Model Compressor Systems
Abhilash Nair, Ian Willetts
Enjoy the benefits of “20-20 hindsight” even before commissioning a new compressor or new compressor controls.
The World of Wireless
Matthew McKeon-Slattery
As wireless technologies have advanced, old limits have been overcome and new challenges have sprung up. Further growth is likely to be driven by specific application and cost-reduction needs. <br>
Analyzing APC Performance
To reap the most benefit from an advanced process control (APC) system, users need to know how to analyze and monitor the APC's performance.
Understand Flow Patterns in Glass-Lined Reactors
Christopher J. Ramsey, David S. Dickey, Keith E. Johnson , Kevin J. Bittorf
Physical modeling and computer simulation provide insights into the performance of a glass-lined reactor.
Produce Reliable Models with Efficient Meshing
Christian Wollblad, Ed Fontes, Henrik von Schenck, Phil Byrne
Improve your modeling skills to construct accurate, effective meshes that simulate or optimize a process in less time.
Realize Greater Benefits from CFD
Ahmad H. Haidari, Andre Bakker, Lanre M. Oshinowo
Computational fluid dynamics has moved from mainframes to PCs and laptops. Newer and better software lets you conduct analyses not possible before, and regular engineers, not just experts, can now carry out CFD.
Engineering to Business: Optimizing Asset Utilization Through Process Engineering
Andy Howell, Kevin Hanson, Vikas Dhole, Wayne Sim
Asset owners who integrate the process engineering, operations and business lifecycles of their facilities can improve return-on-capital by up to 4%. Use this virtual-asset model (VAM) to optimize your business assets.
Modeling Production-Chain Information
Jeffrey D. Kelly
Data alone is not information. Use this model to transform data into vital information for decision making.
Computational Science: Enabling Technology Development
Anthony Cugini, Chris Guenther, Jinghai Li, Madhava Syamlal, Ning Yang, Wei Ge, Wei Wang
Computational science will play a key role in accelerating technology development and in the realization of virtual process engineering.
Easily Assess Complex Safety Loops
Lawrence Beckman
Many safety instrumented systems rely on dissimilar redundant field devices, and this can complicate required analyses. These equations will enable field personnel to handle such situations readily.
