Kingsport, Tennessee to manufacture specialty chemicals. The purpose of this project isto determine the effect of sparger ring diameter, D S, and gas flow rate, QG, on the liquid phaseresidence-time-distribution in a bubble column. In this CFD study, an algebraic slip mixture model(see Manninen et al., 1996; Ivanov et al., 1999) is used to simulate an air/water mixture in a columnof diameter D (= 2.4m) and height H (= 19.2m). The volume of the column, V, is approximately 91m3. The volumetric flow rate of the liquid phase, Q L, is about 89 m3/h; the gas rate, QG, is varied from~800 m3/h to ~ 2,400 m3/h. Thus, for the conditions studied, the superficial mean residence time ofthe liquid phase is about 3,600s whereas the superficial mean residence time

thesenewer version there are some changes being made to facilitate all the companies trying toachieve certification. Changes include new requirements, new flexibility, new emphasis, newstructure and new approach [1].Historically the ISO 9000 standards were created from a chain of earlier military andgovernmental quality standards for example US military (Mil-Q-9858A) and NATO (AQAP-1). In 1979, the British Standards Institution issued “BS 5750”, which along with otherexisting standards such as Canada “Z-299” quality standards became the eventual basis forthe present ISO9000 international standards. After ISO 9000 was issued, the BritishStandards Institution revised “BS 5750” to conform to the new composite standard [2].ISO 9000 is fairly simple to

For example, if in the past three days the loads were X Btuh, Y Btuh and Z Btuh, then, according to a certain prediction algorithm used, the control system may predict “tomorrow at that same time, the load to be Q Btuh”. According to this prediction, the control system may open more hot water valve, speed up the fan to give more heat to the room just shortly before the scheduled time point, or the system may do something in the opposite direction “to obey and to optimize”. The actual load may be different from the predicted one at the

system was devised during WWII to help military personnel enrolled in specialprograms at a university to read faster and study better. It involves the following, for which itgets its name: S = Survey: Leaf through an assigned chapter reading headings and subheadings, skimming topic sentences, and reading summary and concluding paragraphs. Q = Question: Turn headings and subheadings into questions by preceding them with who, what, when, where or how. R = Read: After a question is framed, read the ensuing paragraph or section to answer the specific question. R = Recite: Immediately after reading, look away from the page and recite what you have just read in your own words. R = Review

offered.Course Design and DeliveryCS/EE Online courses are delivered via the World-Wide-Web in the form of hypertext files.This permits a wide range of options for course design and implementation. All courses aredesigned to facilitate asynchronous and self-paced learning. On-line Web access (utilizingcourse WebPages and WebBoard, and email) is used to facilitate group discussions and Q&Awith the instructor, and support other logistical needs such as homework assignments. FAQs andthreaded discussions are provided through the course WebBoard. Threaded discussions andQ&As are kept from each semester and are made available to students in future semestersthrough the WebBoard. Use of the WebBoard to organize project teams in CSE 5324 is shownin Fig

As a result, the velocity out of the holes will only depend on the height from the watersurface (see figure 1) to the hole according to equation 2. V = 2×g×h (2)In addition, the volumetric flow rate out of the hole, is defined by equation 3: p × d2 Q (Flowrate) = V × hole area = V
