Involve me and I will understand Take one step back and I will act.In the usual interpretation as separate statements, the first two of this set of items are used todeny the effectiveness of lectures and demonstrations, and to advocate only project-basedlearning. The last of these items is usually omitted. To me, these statements are best interpretedin combination. Consequently, I would add: Do all four and I will become competent.Learning the general and formalized methods (e.g. in lectures and demonstrations) is in itself notenough. Such methods cannot be applied directly, they must be adapted to the problem situation,including the abilities of the designers and the time scales available

Students’ interactions with the teacher outside of theclassroom are not anymore limited to the office hours only.WebCT also facilitates and promotes teamwork. The students can use the chat room andthe bulletin board to exchange information on their projects. They also post meeting datesand times for study sessions so that other students can participate.

Therefore, Q for these five flow tubes is calculated to be 3.1 x 10-5 m3/s or0.11 m3/hr. What remains is to normalize this value. Since each tube is seen from Figure 3 to beapproximately five meters wide, the flow through a unit width would be calculated as .11 m3/hr /(5 tubes x 5 meters) = 4.4 x 10-3 m3/hr (per meter of section perpendicular to flow).VI.

Mathematical models were also developed showing how toconceptually and sometimes practically move from the micro to macro regimes.Although it was recognized that research on the intermediate mesoscopic scales could be veryinteresting and important for many applications, until recently little effort has been devoted tosuch projects. The reasons are twofold. First, the basic micro and macro phenomena had to bewell enough understood before proceeding to the more complex intermediate scales. Second, thetechnological tools and computing capabilities required for such research were just not available.The situation is now changed.

It describes how HYSYS has been used successfully to design arefrigeration system with 4 compressors, 13 heat exchangers and 4 flash drums without resortingto numerous control and recycle loops. The intent of this paper is not to provide a rigorouscomparison between simulators, but to focus on a special technique used for solving industrialrefrigeration design problems.
