The reverse problem formulation is a technique for solution of integrated process and product design problems from a properties perspective. In this work, an algorithm is introduced for reverse problem formulations using property operators based on molecular signature descriptors. A general framework has been developed for the integration of flowsheet design techniques with the solution of comb...

Based upon analysis mineralogical, physical and chemical parameters ore, authors set reasons decrease technological indicators existing concentrator determine concentrating properties reviewed resistant material by applying methods intensif...

Health care data included in clinical data repositories (CDRs) are increasingly used for quality reporting, business analytics and research; however, extended clinical data from interprofessional practice are seldom included. With the increasing emphasis on care coordination across settings, CDRs need to include data from all clinicians and be harmonized to understand the impact of their collab...

A process flowsheet was developed in ChemCad 6.4 to study the effect of feed moisture contents on the pre-esterification of waste oils. Waste oils were modelled as a mixture of triolein (90%), oleic acid (5%) and water (5%). The process mainly consisted of feed drying, pre-esterification reaction and methanol recovery. The results showed that the process energy requirements would be minimized w...

Reactive distillation is an excellent example of recent advances in process intensification. It combines reaction and separation operations in one piece of equipment. This paper studies the steady-state economic optimum design of a chemical process with a generic exothermic reversible reaction A+B↔C+D for two different process flowsheets: a conventional multi-unit reactor/separator/recycle stru...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the terms used by nurses in a variety of data sources and to test the feasibility of using SNOMED III to represent nursing terms. DESIGN Prospective research design with manual matching of terms to the SNOMED III vocabulary. MEASUREMENTS The terms used by nurses to describe patient problems during 485 episodes of care for 201 patients hospitalized for Pneumocystis carin...

Abstract SFILES are a text-based notation for chemical process flowsheets. They were originally proposed by d’Anterroches (Process flow sheet generation & design through group contribution approach) who was inspired the SMILES molecules. The format has several advantages compared to flowsheet images regarding storage format, computational accessibility, and eventually data analysis processi...

An integrated membrane distillation (MD) flowsheet, consisting of direct contact (DCMD) and vacuum (VMD) units, was proposed analysed in terms thermal performance water recovery factor, for the first time. The same lab-scale module (40 cm2) used carrying out experiments DCMD VMD at fixed feed operating conditions (deionised 230 L/h ~40 °C) while working permeate side with deionised 18 °C a 20 m...
