Crystallization process improvement driven by dynochem process modeling. Flav...Scale-up Systems
The original continuous crystallization process used anti-solvent crystallization with heptanes and IPAc to crystallize an API. This led to varying composition, supersaturation and volumes, producing small primary particles prone to agglomeration. The process had long cycle times, low throughput and yielded primarily agglomerated particles. Dynochem modelling was used to improve the process by controlling crystallization parameters.

Scale-up of Safety Data using Dynochem. Tom Vickery.Scale-up Systems
This document summarizes two case studies where Dynochem, a process modeling and simulation tool, was used to analyze experimental safety data and scale-up risks. In the first case, Dynochem was used to model the temperature-dependent decomposition of an unstable cryogenic reaction. The tool fitted the experimental heat flow data and allowed modeling of different reaction scenarios. In the second case, Dynochem fitted gas generation data from a reaction and allowed simulation of varying heat rates to understand their effect on runaway risks. The tool provided a consistent model for safety scale-up evaluations in both cases.
Thermal calibration of strain gauges is essential for accurately determining strut loads in braced excavations. The procedure involves thermally calibrating each strain gauge prior to installation on a strut by monitoring the microstrain response over several days as the strut expands and contracts undisturbed. This establishes the thermal response coefficient for each gauge. During loading, the measured microstrain can then be corrected for the gauge's thermal response to determine the actual earth and thermal loads on the strut. Examples from a project in Perth, Australia show that neglecting thermal calibration can lead to inaccurate load determinations, especially with large temperature variations.

This document summarizes Jorge Cisneros' master's thesis on investigating the phase transformation of DP980 dual phase steel during heating and cooling using in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The objectives were to determine the phase transmission curve for different heating profiles and holding times. Experiments involved heating tensile test coupons to various peak temperatures using induction heating and characterizing the phase changes using X-ray diffraction and microscopy. Results showed that peak temperature and cooling rate most impacted the final phases, with fast cooling producing finer grains. Holding time had little effect on the final composition above 50 seconds.

This document discusses viscometric studies of straight run bitumen conducted through creep and recovery and stress relaxation experiments. Creep and recovery tests were performed on two grades of bitumen (60/70 and 80/100) at temperatures from 15°C to 30°C under loads of 100-300 kPa. Stress relaxation tests were conducted on the same grades from 35°C to 45°C at loads of 1000-10000 Pa and strains of 5-30%. The experimental data showed the transition of bitumen behavior from viscoelastic solid to non-Newtonian fluid with increase in temperature and load. The results were used to validate a non-linear viscoelastic constitutive model.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Progress presentation
1. Assessing the High Temperature
Performance of a Tungsten-Stainless
Steel Hybrid Pipe
PhD Candidate: Ben Reyngoud
University of Canterbury
Supervisor: Prof. Milo Kral
Co-Supervisor: Prof. Hari Dharan (Berkeley)
2. Industry Context
• The methanol production process involves a step in which a mixture of natural gas
and steam is flowed over a nickel catalyst at 950 C within a reformer tube
• Industrial reformer tubes used in chemical plants operate continuously under
extreme conditions (950 C and internal pressure of 3.5MPa). Currently use the long-
standing paradigm for high temperature metals, nickel-based superalloys.
3. An Opportunity
• The benefits from nickel-based superalloy development is reaching a plateau – a
paradigm shift is required.
• Effectively harnessing the potential of refractory metals in creep applications could
result in:
- Improved process efficiencies
- Fewer shutdowns
- Reduced frequency of material replacement
• These improvements have significant economic implications – 250-450 tubes in a
typical plant with a total replacement cost of approx US$15M (required after approx
10 years). Sudden failure may cost US$0.35-3M per day in lost production.
4. The Project
• Develop a novel hybrid material (stainless steel reinforced with tungsten wire
external to pipe) with superior performance in high temperature/pressure industrial
applications.
• Term ‗hybrid‘ used due to purely mechanical interface between components. This
minimizes risk of diffusion and formation of brittle intermetallics.

Mean CTE 17.5 17.5 19.5 4.3
(10-6 m/m C)
5. The Concept
• Atomic mobility is increased at these elevated service temperatures and under
constant pressure, creep deformation is the major enemy of these pipes.
• Diametric expansion of pipe due to creep halted by refractory wire wrap. By
effectively constricting the pipe, all the creep stress is transferred from the pipe to the
wire.
• Problems
• Oxidation – probably the greatest immediate risk to the project.
• Thermal expansion mismatch – problem associated with all composite materials. Matter is
further complicated by thermal cycling in real world conditions.
6. My Focus
• Extracting the most desirable properties from each component of the hybrid –
structural strength from liner, creep strength from wire wrap and oxidation resistance
from external barrier.
• Not looking to design tungsten-based alloys. Focus on design and investigation of
oxidation barriers – at this point specifically investigating sheathing.
• Development of novel creep testing method to assess hybrid performance –
specifically barrier and reinforcement effectiveness. Mindful of keeping this creep
testing directly applicable back to industry context.
7. Rupture Tests
• Problems with conventional creep tests:
- Geometry-based – wire winding and how to reinforce in direction of applied stress.
- How to reduce sample cross section without trivialising presence of wire?
• Solution is novel creep testing method – pipe rupture tests
- Much closer to true service loading conditions

8. Rupture Tests
• Disadvantages of test method: only gives T and p plots over time as well as overall
creep life – no information on creep rate.
• Average service conditions – 950 C and p=2.75MPa (gives σhoop=16.56MPa).
• Test conditions – for practicality, targeted 100hr creep rupture life in unreinforced
sample. Expected life determined based on experimental creep rupture time data.

• Test stopped prematurely by power outage caused by Feb 22 earthquake but
impressive life extension nonetheless – at least 12.9x extension in life compared to

• Questions raised by test: Mode of (eventual) failure? Expected life?
18. Results – Reinforced 2
• Post-earthquake recovery of sample revealed it was still intact in furnace and fully
pressurized (i.e. had not ruptured).
• Bending/twisting of the pipe was observed in multiple planes and could not simply be
explained by the pipe sagging. Lack of damage to the furnace suggested that this
bending/twisting was not earthquake-related.
• 4.55% increase in length of the pipe not including the bends, accompanied by a
maximum 5.3% reduction in diameter and 22% reduction in wall thickness
19. Results – Reinforced 2
• Interesting mode of failure in the ‗super pipe‘
• By transferring hoop stress from liner to wire, longitudinal stress is now path of
least resistance and creep in this direction dominates. ‗Snaking‘ a result of hot
spots and some localised regions creeping faster than others
• End cap welds connect liner and sheath, meaning both are subjected to
longitudinal strain (hence both creeped).
20. Results – Reinforced 2
• While longitudinal stress is significantly lower than hoops stress, in theory it would
eventually lead to the development of circumferential cracking.
→ Assuming longitudinal stress is half of predicted hoop stress, point on creep
rupture plot is shifted to give life on the order of tens of thousands of hours.
• Not feasible to test this failure mode with these samples. But question remains: at
what point does the pipe contraction render it unusable and what can be done to
mitigate this longitudinal creep?
21. Generalized Approach
• Flaw with the approach thus-far to the design problem. Focused in on specific
geometry and composition very early, severely limiting potential for optimization.
• More general, Ashby-inspired ‗materials by design‘ approach is proposed
→ Understand the physics of the system and tailor the macro/microstructure to suit.
• In theory, this will allow for potential of individual components to be maximised while
also allowing for unit weight/cost to be minimized.
• More general approach also allows for industrial applications beyond the
petrochemical industry to be considered.
22. Ashby?
• Mike Ashby and Yves Bréchet have built on Ashby‘s well-established methodology to
explore ways of designing hybrid materials to allow for a superposition of their
properties.
• Here, a hybrid material is defined as ―a combination of two or more materials in a
predetermined geometry and scale, optimally serving a specific engineering purpose‖
– paraphrased as ―A + B + shape + scale‖.
• By treating the hybrid as a whole and selecting materials based on a criterion of
excellence derived from the physics of the system (stiffness per unit mass etc),
design solutions can be reached which are optimized for a desired property.
23. ‘Ashby chart’ Example
Designing a hybrid—here, one with high strength and high electrical conductivity. The figure shows
the resistivity and reciprocal of tensile strength for 1700 metals and alloys. We seek materials with
the lowest values of both. - M.F. Ashby, Y.J.M. Bréchet / Acta Materialia 51 (2003) 5801–5821
24. ArchiMat
• The ―A + B + shape + scale‖ mindset is a good starting point, but it largely ignores a
great deal of difficulties encountered in the successful design and fabrication of a
hybrid.
• Part of the difficulty stems from the multitude of possible choices; choice of materials,
choice of processes to combine them, and choice of the internal geometry and
topology of the constitutive materials.
• The complexity associated with applying the ‗Ashby method‘ to real world industry
cases , particularly with a finite life design, is exactly why I am currently attending
ArchiMat2011. Here I will be attending seminars on materials properties and
selection, modelling, optimization, specific architectures and specific experimental
methods.
• In addition to this, Mike and Yves will be on hand along with a panel of experts to
take part in roundtable discussions of design problems and offer their insight.
25. Multi-layered Pipe
External layer
Mid layer
Internal layer
• Goal: Tailor hybrid in terms of materials selection and architecture such that it is
optimized for a given industrial application.
• Properties to consider include: creep life/rate, structural strength, thermal
conductivity, resistance to environmental attack, compatibility between layers
(reactivity, intermetallic formation, thermal expansion etc), stiffness/ability to form
curved sections, service temperature.
• Geometric degrees of freedom: layer thicknesses, overall diameters, architecture of
mid layer – features present, their size and frequency/spacing.

• Other refractory metals such as Nb, Mo, Ta and Re should also be considered.
28. Preliminary Work – Thermal Resistivity
• Remembering that these tubes exist to permit an endothermic reaction and transfer
heat from the furnace to the gases inside the pipe, it makes sense to consider a
simple model of hybrid thermal conductivity.
• Based on currently used design materials and layer thicknesses. Introduce a thermal
bridge and see how overall thermal resistivity is affected by bridge surface area.

• Air gap itself makes up majority of overall resistivity and any alternate path of lesser

• Thermal conductivity of bridging material has little overall effect.

Potential Current
change
• Currently have 1.49mm thick liner and 3.95mm thick sheath – based on stock pipe
sizes and machining capabilities. Risk of wire crushing liner if thinned too much, but
no such risk in sheath – so surely it can at least be thinned to 1.49mm to match liner.
• i.e. Potential for immediate change to 3mm total thickness – would result in 3% drop
in resistivity.
32. Preliminary Work – Mass and Cost
• Denoting this proposed thickness change as ‗slim‘ reinf., some mass/length and
costing analysis is then possible.
• This assumes pipes could be made to size (i.e. no machining required) and uses a
cost of 253MA of $49.13/kg (based on current Sandvik pricing).
• For the current pipe diameter, perfect wire winding (no gaps between windings) gives
242m of Ø0.49mm wire required per m of pipe.
• The mass and cost of the theoretical thermal bridges are neglected here.

Wire cost estimated as $US1.05/m of wire. Significantly cheaper tungsten sources available, but questions over quality and
manufacturer reliability. Hubei Fotma Machinery Co (China) has tungsten at $US0.33/m of wire.
• Comparing unreinf. and ‗slim‘ reinf. pipes – potential for 13x increase in life
coupled with 33.6% decrease in mass and 18.9% decrease in cost.
→ Pending test of ‗slim‘ reinf. pipe to ensure it‘s okay in longitudinal creep and
sourcing of reliable tungsten supplier.
34. Summary
• Through careful geometric application and design considerations, overall hybrid
creep strength can be controlled by creep strength of refractory reinforcement.
• By utilizing the structural and oxidation resistant properties of the sheath and liner in
conjunction with the creep properties of tungsten, an increase in creep life in excess
of 13x is achievable.
• Through further optimization, this can potentially be achieved without any increase in
cost or mass.
35. Future Work
• From here:
• Continued testing – repeat control tests and assess creep life of ‗slim‘
reinforced pipe. Iterative process with continued design improvements.
• Design – Optimization of general pipe hybrid in terms of material
selection, geometry and architecture of mid layer.
• Modelling – combined effects of creep and thermodynamic stresses, heat
transfer for process efficiency – how thermal bridges will affect creep
response. Effect of changing wrap angle. Extension of models to consider
effects of thermal cycling.

Unreinf control pipe has no wire, but extra 1mm on liner OD to compensate for lack of wire and give same material thickness.Currently using 800H in reformer furnaces, 316 included as ‘typical” SS. 253MA used as stainless steel component in hybrid for tests due to good oxidation resistance up to 1150C (necessary for accelerated testing). Note higher UTS and melting temp of tungsten as well as low CTE compared to SS.
At less than 30% the melting point of tungsten, the service temperature is far too low for the tungsten to experience any creep. By remaining impervious to creep and demonstrating exceptional tensile strength at elevated temperatures, the wire wrap effectively constricts the pipe – not allowing it to expand and transferring all the creep stress from the pipe to the wire.
