Process Design
This tax is levied on profits made from the sale of capital assets.
What is Capital Gains Tax?
This is a rapid reaction of a fuel with oxygen.
What is a combustion reaction?
This dimensionless number is defined as the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces.
What is the Reynolds number?
This is the most commonly manipulated process variable (by control loops) in the Chemical Process Industry.
What is flow rate?
He was the first person to break the sound barrier in an aircraft.
Who was Chuck Yeager?
This is added to the depreciation charge to obtain the cash flow.
What is the net profit?
This principle states that if an external stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, then the system will adjust in such a way to partially offset this stress.
What is Le Chatelier’s Principle?
This term is defined as the ratio of the dynamic fluid viscosity to the fluid density.
What is the kinematic viscosity?
This type of control uses the sensor reading and the setpoint to set the value of the manipulated variable for a process.
What is feedback control?
She was the first woman to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage.
Who was Diana Nyad?
This is the most common material of construction in the chemical process industry.
What is carbon steel?
This term describes an object that is not superimposable on its mirror image.
What is chiral?
This principle states that for an inviscid flow of a nonconducting fluid, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid’s potential energy.
What is Bernoulli’s Principle?
The maximum positive and negative change in the signal to the final control element that does not produce a measurable change to the flow rate in question.
What is the valve deadband?
She was the first American woman to fly in space.
Who was Sally Ride?
Nonmanufacturing fixed-capital investment is also known as this.
What are indirect costs?
The following reaction: 2Ca(s) + O2 → 2CaO(s) is an example of this type of electron transferring reaction
What is an oxidation-reduction reaction?
These additional restraints provide closure to differential equations describing a finite domain.
What are boundary conditions?
Too much of this type of control action will result in a closed-loop response that has a stairstep shape.
What is derivative control action?
He was the first American to run a 4 minute mile.
Who was Jim Ryun?
This is defined as the ratio of gross annual sales and fixed-capital investment.
What is the turnover ratio?
This reaction converts a diene and an alkene into a six membered ring containing an alkene.
What is the Diels-Alder reaction?
This simple constitutive model provides a linear relationship between the viscous shear tensor and the velocity gradient.
What is Newton’s law of viscosity?
The characteristic of a second-order process that determines the general shape of the dynamic response.
What is the damping factor?
This was the first movie to win an Oscar for best picture.
What was Wings?
