A dynamic lime kiln simulation model has been developed and validated by extensive test data from pulp mill lime kilns. The simulation is used to evaluate control and equipment requirements during transient or upset conditions. control strategies and equipment, or kiln subsystem modifications can be perfected and implemented with a high degree of confidence in rapid installation and startup. This approach has been used to develop a computer-based rotary kiln control system which has been field-proven to meet design goals of: lower energy consumption, improved product quality, reduced equipment wear and tear, and automatic closed-loop control within days of initial installation. The rotary kiln control system is in operation at a Magnesia plant and at two West Coast pulp mills, where the systems have demonstrated an 8% - 10% fuel efficiency improvement in addition to other operational benefits.

A multi-level solution method is presented for multi-objective optimization of large-scale systems associated with the hierarchical structure of decision-making. The method, consisting of a multi-level problem formulation and an interactive algorithm, has distinct advantages in handling the difficulties which are often experienced in engineering. The method is illustrated by its application to an optimal design of a processing system.

A method for optimizing the operating conditions of a heat exchange system has been developed using a system sensitivity concept. The optimal values for manipulated variables are determined by the sensitivities associated with the system performance and constraints so as to maximize the amount of heat recovery. To calculate the sensitivities a simple but useful model has been derived by means of a signal flow diagram. As an illustrative example, a heat exchange system around a topping column in a petroleum refinery has been taken up to show the usefulness of the proposed method.

Oxygen is an essential element for the respiration and growth of aerobic bacteria. Since actively multiplying bacteria consume oxygen at a prodigious rate and since oxygen is a sparingly‐soluble gas, aerobic bacteria are generally minutes away from consuming the total dissolved oxygen supply and are therefore always close to self destruction. Hence, understanding and measuring the rate of oxygen supply and mechanism of transport from gas to microbial cell are vital to an effectively functioning aerobic system. But over‐supply, though not having serious consequences for the bacteria, does for the operation in expenditure of needless energy. Thus the bioengineer must carefully balance oxygen supply and usage. This review examines the various aspects of oxygen transfer and utilization — beginning with the basic physical processes governing transfer of oxygen from the air into solution, followed by complication due to chemical reaction and finally the problem introduced by mass transfer coupled with chemical reaction. Oxygen solubility and its measurement are discussed. Following establishment of the fundamental parameters governing transfer, the removal process, i.e., rate of uptake of oxygen by bacteria is treated. This section is followed by a discussion of the various methods of measurement of oxygen transfer and the physical factors affecting that rate. A major section is devoted to types of aeration equipment, their description, use, efficiency, etc. The review ends with three rather short sections on oxygen transfer economics, dissolved oxygen control and utilization of pure oxygen.

COMSTOCK, ENKEANE, RGMr. Edward N. Comstock is currently Head of the Surface Ship Hydrodynamics Section (SEA 32132) of the Hull Form Design
Performance and Stability Branch Naval Sea Systems Command. He received his B.S.E. degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering in 1970 and his M.S. degree in Ship Hydrodynamics in 1974 both from the University of Michigan. Mr. Comstock began his professional career with the U.S. Navy in 1974 as a Seakeeping Specialist in the Hull Form and Fluid Dynamics Branch of the former Naval Ship Engineering Center
being involved in improving the design of naval ships through the integration of R&D technology advances into the ship design process. His efforts prior to 1980 were mainly aimed at developing and establishing Seakeeping Performance Assessment and Design Practices. Other responsibilities have included numerous ship performance investigations in still water and in the sea environment in support of ship design and specific Fleet problems. Prior to his employment by the Navy he worked in the Structural and Hydrodynamic Groups of General Dynamics' Electric Boat Division. There his activities spanned the areas of Submarine structural and Hydrodynamic Design and Construction. A member of ASNE since 1978. he is also a member of ASE and SNAME and has been active in supporting the efforts of the SNAME H-7 (Seakeeping) Panel the National Science Foundation (NSF). and the NATO Naval Armaments Group 6/Sub-Group 5 (Seakeeping). Mr. Robert G. Keane
Jr. is presently Head of the Hull Form Design. Performance and Stability Branch (SEA 3213). Ship Design and Integration Directorate (SEA 03). Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). He received his B.E.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from The Johns Hopkins University in 1962. his M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Stevens Institute of Technology in 1967. and his M.S.E. degree in Naval Architecture from the University of Michigan in 1970.

“Seakeeping … is the ability of our ships to go to sea, and Successfully and safely execute their missions despite adverse environmental factors.” — VAdm. R.E. Adamson. USN In June 1975, VAdm. R.E. Adamson, USN, then Commander Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, addressed the participants of the Seakeeping Workshop [1] and established what has come to be a most profound definition of seakeeping as it relates to the U.S. Navy. In those few words he identified the two major issues facing the operator today and provided the focus for all subsequent seakeeping efforts within the design community at the Naval Sea systems Command (NAVSEA). For it is these two hues of mission sum and safety at sea which are addressed within NAVSEA, for each new ship design and for ships in the Fleet, in terms of: SEAKEEPING PERFORMANCE — Ability to execute mission in a sea environment, and SEAWORTHINESS — Ability to survive in an extreme sea environment. In the past, the design of ships exhibiting superior seakeeping performance and seaworthiness and seaworthiness has been looked upon by many as an art or an academic exercise. The objective of this paper then is to demonstrate clearly that the ability of our ships to execute their missions successfully and safely in a sea environment is not by chance but by design.

Various thermal practices may be used during metal fabrication. Although certain operations are routine for steel, they are not for aluminum. The properties of aluminum are different from those of steel, and the effect of high temperature on each metal is different. Aluminum does not experience any color change while being heated to the melting point. Temperature control is essential in order to prevent damage, to minimize the loss of mechanical properties, and to safeguard against reduced corrosion resistance. Hot forming and flame straightening can be used effectively to fabricate aluminum provided adjustments are made to the shipyard's routine steel practices. Even with the best procedures the post thermal properties of thick, heavy, aluminum parts may be below the published minimums. Accordingly, parts that are exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time should be designed with reduced properties in mind. Ship structures must meet prescribed fairness tolerances. Distorted aluminum assemblies can be brought within standards through the use of a flame/quench technique. The shipyard's procedures must be approved for Navy work and scrupulously followed by trained crews in order to obtain acceptable results.
