English

Subject field(s)
  • Mathematics
  • Computer Graphics
DEF

The appearance of qualitatively different solutions to a nonlinear equation as a parameter in the equation is varied.

DEF

Qualitative change of the solution to an equation or a system at a fixed value - called critical value - of a parameter.

CONT

A point in parameter space where such an event occurs is a bifurcation point. From a bifurcation point emerge two or more solution branches, either stable or unstable. The representation of any characteristic property of the solution as a function of the bifurcation parameter constitutes a bifurcation diagram (tree).

CONT

A Soltau Model RVS 250-AS-STS microtunneling machine with a slurry spoil removal system was selected on a lease arrangement to install the 24-in. sewer line. A mixed face cutting head configuration was selected in anticipation of the varying ground conditions. The unit is supplied with high pressure water jets which have proven effective in boring through dense clays. The RVS 250-AS-STS involves two new innovations. First, it utilizes a state-of-the-art laser guidance system coupled with a completely digital operator control panel with continuous, up-to-date information on the tunneling process. A data logger, which can record data at specific time intervals or length of pipe jacked, also provides for a permanent record of the operation.

OBS

Microtunneler may also refer to the one who operates the machine.

Record 3 2011-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Long-Distance Pipelines
CONT

A pipeline operated at varying temperatures due to occasional shut down of theproduction will expand at positive temperature changes. If the pipeline is not free toexpand but restrained by friction, the pipe will be subjected to an axial compressive load. If the force exerted by the pipe on the soil cover exceeds the vertical restraint created by the pipe's submerged weight, its bending stiffness and the soil cover, the pipe will tend to move in the vertical plane, and considerable displacements may occur.... This model is a consistent semi-analytical linearized procedure and may as such only be considered sufficiently accurate when the upheaval displacement is relatively small.

  • Industrial Design

CONT

COADE Inc. has released CADWorx/P&ID Version 3.10, an enhanced version of the company’s AutoCAD-based software for Process & Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) for piping plant design, now with fully configurable database tables and an optional automatic Instrument Loop Generation Module with instrument loop database table editor.

CONT

The models required will be very detailed compared to those used in typical steady state simulations. Many features which typically only appear at the P&I diagram stage(valves, storage, long pipe runs, sensors, controllers) need to be represented in the model, as they will have significant impact on plant dynamics.

CONT

The bidder shall include in his proposal sufficient drawings, data and other information to completely describe the equipment being proposed. This proposal information shall include but not be limited to, the following: A. P&I diagram showing and making distinction between all piping valves, instruments and equipment to be furnished by the seller and items to be provided by the buyer.

Key term(s)
  • process and instrumentation diagramme
  • piping and instrumentation diagramme
  • P&I diagramme
  • P & I diagramme

CONT

Une demande d'extension du contenu traité par l'AP221 a été effectuée lors de la réunion ISO STEP de Chester en mars 1997 pour prendre en compte toutes les informations que peut contenir un schéma de procédé et d'instrumentation (P&ID).

CONT

Si un P&ID a déjà été généré et [...] qu'on commence un modèle 3D, les seules informations supplémentaires nécessaires concerneront celles relatives au dimensionnement et au positionnement.

CONT

Dessins P&ID (Flowchart). Ils ont deux buts : le contrôle du déroulement du processus, et la définition du contour du projet.

Record 5 1999-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Heat Exchangers
  • Steam-Powered Machines and Condensers
DEF

Fluid-fluid heat exchanger made of two concentric pipe sections; one fluid (such as a coolant) flows in the annular space between pipes, and the other fluid (such as hot process stream) flows through the inner pipe.

CONT

The condenser is also a Model no. 06036 shell and tube exchanger, identical to the reboiler with a few modifications : The baffles have been cut at the bottom where they meet the shell to allow condensate to flow out of the shell. The tube side has four passes for maximum heat transfer on the tube side. It is mounted nearly horizontally. The inlet end is a couple of inches higher than the outlet to allow condensate to drain out the low end. A few tubes have been removed at the top to give the vapor more room to distribute itself along the length of the shell. There is a vent on the shell side near the outlet end to allow non-condensable gases to leave. The vent gases pass through the inside of a 36" double pipe condenser so that any condensable gasses will condense out and run down the walls back into the condenser.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Échangeurs de chaleur
  • Machines à vapeur et condenseurs
CONT

Les condenseurs à double tube. Utilisés concurremment avec les condenseurs à immersion [...] ils sont constitués par deux tubes concentriques dans lesquels le fluide frigorigène et l'eau servant à sa condensation circulent à contre courant; [...]
