Crystalline organic solids are ubiquitous as either final products or as intermediates in the specialty chemical, pharmaceutical, and home & personal care industries. Virtually all small molecular weight drugs are isolated as crystalline materials, and over 90% of all pharmaceutical products are formulated in particulate, generally crystalline form. Crystalline chemical intermediates, such as a...

This paper argues for a model-driven framework for integrating human interface engineering with software engineering. The usage-centered design process, a robust and proven process grounded in software engineering, is briefly described and contrasted with traditional user-centered approaches. The connections between the core models of usage-centered design and their software engineering counter...

Many aerospace companies are currently making the transition to providing fully-integrated product-service offerings in which their products are designed from the outset with lifecycle considerations in mind. Based on a case study at Rolls-Royce, Civil Aerospace, this paper demonstrates how an interactive approach to process simulation can be used to support the redesign of existing design proc...

According to the requirements of concurrent engineering, three interdependency relationships (uncoupled relationship, coupled relationship and decoupled relationship) between design activities are presented in this paper. And the coupled relationship plays an important role in concurrent product design process. To represent the precedence relationships among design activities, a directed graph ...

in an attempt ot develop a one step process for the removal of h2s from sour gas, the engineering consideration were dealt with in two steps. in the first step it was attempted to derive the data required for establishing the design criteria for a pilot plant, by experimenting with a small bench scale.

Documenting the rationale in design processes is commonly accepted to be rewarding, but rarely done in practice due to the required time and effort. We propose an integrated approach to work process and decision modeling, characterized by both an improved usefulness of the models and less effort for their creation.

The freshman engineering program at the University of Tennessee consists of two 4 hour courses, Physics for Engineers I and II. Calculus I or higher is a co-requisite for Physics for Engineers I. The content of the Physics for Engineers courses is an introduction to engineering physics (approximately the first 20-25 chapters of an introductory engineering physics textbook), and an introduction ...
