...Технологическая схема синтеза метанола изображена на рис. Очищенный синтез-газ сжимают турбокомпрессором 1 до 5—10 МПа и смешивают с циркулирующим газом, который дожимают до рабочего давления циркуляционным турбокомпрессором 2. Смесь проходит адсорбер 3, предназначенный для очистки газа от пентакарбонила железа. Это вещество образуется при взаимодействии СО с железом аппаратуры и разлагается в реакторе с образованием мелкодисперсного железа, катализирующего нежелательные реакции получения СН4 и СО2. По этой причине, а также из-за водородной коррозии реактор выполняют из легированной стали. Рис. Технологическая схема синтеза метанола: 1 — турбокомпрессор; 2 — циркуляционный турбокомпрессор; 3 — адсорбер; 4 — теплообменник; 5 — реактор; 6 — парогенератор; 7 — холодильник; 8 — сепаратор; 9, 10 — ректификационные колонны; 11 — дроссельный вентиль; 12 — дефлегматоры; 13—кипятильники Газ после адсорбера разделяют на два потока: один подогревают в теплообменнике 4 и подают на синтез в верхнюю часть реактора 5, а другой вводят в реактор 5 между слоями катализатора в холодном виде для регулирования температуры и отвода тепла. Газ проходит сверху вниз через все слои катализатора и выходит из реактора при ≈300°С. Этот газ тоже разделяют на два потока: один проходит теплообменник 4 и служит для подогрева части исходной смеси до температуры синтеза, а другой направляют в парогенератор 6, где его тепло используют для получения пара высокого давления. Потоки газа после этого объединяют...

...CMM 801: Journalism and Communication Theory Academic Essay Writing An essay is best approached as an intellectual argument that develops from the ideas, issues, theories, concepts, methodologies, etc., you have been taught within the module for which it is the final assessment. It is most important therefore – even as you begin and then progress through the module – that you are clear about the fundamental perspectives, values and assumptions underpinning the course’s main themes and topics as they are being presented to you in lectures and seminars. Remember no theory or perspective has the whole picture. All accounts of the world are partial and biased from a particular understanding of how we are human and what society is. Such-and-such a view is only the case under certain conditions. A prime purpose for an essay is to critique particular ideas, pointing out how explanation A might be more useful and valid than B in these circumstances. In the conclusion of your essay, on the other hand, you might want to point out that in other contexts (social, cultural, eras, etc.) there may be other factors that need to be considered. Do these limit or question the weight of claims you have made in the development of your current argument? Key questions before you embark on writing your essay • Have you identified clearly the key issue the essay question wants scrutinised? • Have you checked the command word in the question – e.g. explain means give details about why...

...Essay “Living with Strangers” Minnesota and New York are two thoroughly diverse cities, but still there are exceptions of this belief - they both, like every other city in the world, have their own tacit norms and proprieties. Cultures and societies have through time build ethics, which people outside the given group or civilization won’t understand. It can be everything from simply greeting each other, from rural Minnesota where “hi” slip of people’s tongues like honey to New York where its normal to live side by side with strangers, and addressing others on the street will make you seem ridiculous. This huge culture gap is what inspired Siri Hustvedt to write her anecdote “Living with Strangers”. The text is an essay, which is characterized by several things. It’s a non-fictional text, which means its about something real, and relates to this in an unbiased way. It is a very subjective style, written from a personal point of view, where the writer used own experience and reflections: “When I moved to New York in 1978, I quickly discovered what it meant to live among hordes of strangers…”. You can tell the text is personal by the fact that “I” is used a lot. The way of writing will seem very convincing to the ready. Hustvedt uses the ethos argument and therefore seems truthful and upstanding as a writer about this particular topic. The title represents the main topic quite well, as it refers to a very common paradox in urban societies - we have been to the moon...

...made. Why is Proofreading important? Proofreading is an essential final stage of the essay writing process which should not be overlooked as a poorly presented piece of work can lose marks. After the effort of finding information and writing the essay, don’t lose marks by submitting a work spoiled by spelling and grammatical errors, or that does not adhere to your module’s requirements. A well-presented essay indicates to your tutor that you care about your work. Areas to check: Proofreading can be time-consuming and it is easy to underestimate the time required. It is a good idea to build in time for proofreading into your assignment plan. It is especially important that you follow any module requirements regarding referencing, line spacing, paragraph indentation, and margins, and that these are observed consistently and continuously. Checklist: Grammar | | check | spelling | Don’t rely on the spellchecker in Word - this won’t pick up “typos” as from/form or been/bean. Use a dictionary to check spellings - don’t guess at a spelling. | | tenses | Does the subject match the verb? Are tenses used consistently within sentences? | | language | Have capitals been used where necessary? - e.g. for personal names, organisations, the start of a sentence. Have some words been used frequently within a paragraph or an essay? - if so, consult a thesaurus for alternative words to use. Is the...

...Assignment Two Word Count - 1261 142588 Service Encounters are an integral part of marketing; this essay will focus on and attempt to explain what a service encounter is and why it is important for it to be managed, whilst also outlining the factors that influence the behavior of customers before, during and after the encounter. For the purposes of this essay a Service Encounter will be defined as a transactional interaction where a person provides a good or service to another person, often described as the moment of truth, where the service is examined and all pre conceived ideas now become experiences (Bitner et al. 1990). The arguments will be supported with examples in order to demonstrate a higher understanding of the concepts and ideas involved. What is meant by experience and credence properties? The service encounter in a company or organization is an integral part of the organizations successful growth, services can be likened to a package of attributes rendering contentment, yet have more appropriately been described as “promises of satisfaction” (Levitt, 1983). In comparison with goods, it is better known that services have a diverse range of characteristics however both services and goods contain search, experience and credence qualities, all which need to be managed. Service Encounters are high in experience and credence attributes, as a service is much like a performance it is often deemed as an encounter, the transactional interaction where a person provides...

...to write A Level Sociology Essay Assessment With reference to the present AEB syllabus, there are three main skills being assessed in your essays. 1. Knowledge and Understanding (9 marks) 2. Interpretation and Application (9 marks) 3. Evaluation (9 marks) What Does This Mean? What this means is that for writing an essay is that the content (studies, names of researcher, dates, figures, concepts, although important need to be organised coherently, applied to a variety of social situations and interpreted, and expressed in a critical fashion. You must be aware of the skills being highlighted in the question in order to use the appropriate skills in your essays. You should also practice writing essays regularly and develop a technique which addresses the skills required so that you can actually answer the question set. I hope that this handout should allow you to achieve this. Stage One Many students are too quick into diving into an answer.

Task One With the title provided.

...For this essay, I had first failed to notice that flogging was used as a satirical example to seek out a cheap and quick alternative to our broken down system. I thought he actually wanted to bring back flogging so therefor did not think it would be a good idea to reintroduce it as a corporal punishment, but I did agree with Jacoby on his views towards prisons. After figuring this out, I had revised my whole essay and had ultimately agreed with Jacoby that not only do we have a broken down system, but we need to find a cheap and quick alternative. Before even reading his essay I knew that we had many problems with prisons today since it has been a hot topic for many years. I had even watched videos of President Obama speaking about how it was...

...Writing an essay is not as much about the end product as it is the journey to get there. You may possess the most expansive vocabulary, but the one variable that shows through your writing is time. Time is the one factor that shows improvement, effort, and persistence. Without time, the journey would not exist. Step one in the journey is throwing ideas on to paper. Throwing refers to the chaos of that first step. In my case, the throwing of ideas was evident in the lack of cohesion and argument. This action of throwing is only able to happen if the topic is of meaning to the writer. The topic I chose, the benefits of immersion programs to help learn a language, is something I am very passionate about. I've been lucky enough to experience it...

...Case Study 11: Should a Computer Grade Your Essays? The case study discusses the April 2013 launch of Harvard/MIT’s joint venture MOOC (massively open online course) essay scoring program, utilizing AI (artificial intelligence) technology to grade educational essays and short answers, with immediate feedback and ability to revise, resubmit, and improve grades. In 2012, a group of colleagues, Les Perleman, Mark Shermis, and Ben Hamner, introduced over 16,000, K7-12 standardized school tests to the AES (automated essay scoring software) to compare results of hand-scored essays; the results appeared to produce a more accurate grade, however, no official statistical studies were performed to accurately maintain the claim. Essay Raters (e-Rater), developed by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), allowed Perelman to access, and analyze the technology. ETS uses vocabulary and content to score criteria, such as essay length, conjunctive adverb usage, and large word usage, in combination with paper and word length, words per sentence, and word complexity. The downside is the programs’ inability to differentiate factual from nonfactual information, intent, or meaning. Some educators banned to form the group, Professionals Against Machine Scoring of Student Essays in High-Stakes Assessment; they are concerned educators will reduce writing standards to conform to software constraints.
