This report presents a cost analysis of Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) production from styrene. The process examined is a typical suspension polymerization. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Sulzer, EPS, INEOS, Versalis
Failure of Materials in Mechanical Design: Analysis, Prediction, Prevention, 2nd Edition, covers the basic principles of failure of metallic and non-metallic materials in mechanical design applications. Updated to include new developments on fracture mechanics, including both linear-elastic and elastic-plastic mechanics. Contains new material on strain and crack development and behavior. Emphasizes the potential for mechanical failure brought about by the stresses, strains and energy transfers in machine parts that result from the forces, deflections and energy inputs applied.
This report presents a cost analysis of High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) production from styrene. In the process examined, styrene is polymerized in the presence of polybutadiene via a typical continuous bulk polymerization process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Polystyrene and Styrene Copolymers", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) "Styrene Plastics", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 4th edition Keywords: Dow, Copolymerization, Versalis, Polystyrene
This report presents a cost analysis of General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) production from styrene. The process examined is a typical continuous bulk polymerization process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Polystyrene and Styrene Copolymers", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) "Styrene Plastics", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 4th edition Keywords: INEOS, Versalis, Polystyrene, GPPS
This report presents a cost analysis of High Temperature Resistant Polystyrene (HTPS) production from styrene. The process examined is a typical continuous bulk polymerization process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: HTPS, Thermoplastics
This report presents a cost analysis of Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) production from styrene. The process examined is a typical continuous bulk polymerization process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: SPS, XAREC, Idemitsu
Ethics in Engineering Design - based on papers presented at the International Engineering and Product Design Education Conference, IE&PDE 2023 - provides that platform and addresses the full spectrum of design education. This volume of papers is vital reading for all those students, practitioners, and professionals operating in the field of product and engineering design and education. Contents include: Curriculum QAA benchmark statements and Open University design courses Design for life-sustainable futures - are we all guilty? Projects Sustainability - a design exercise? Cabin and passenger environment design for the Airbus A380 - a case study for education Using small scale alternative energy equipment as a vehicle for sustainable development study Related Topics Development of concept designs for a disaster relief shelter a student project Copying - a constructive process Product design education in practise - evaluating the key transition from undergraduate degree to initial industrial position Inclusive product design (ethics and sustainability) project teaching, using a major study project as the vehicle Design is key to innovation and wealth creation - it is, therefore, critical that the issue of Design Education has a forum for debate and dissemination of best practice.
