  2. Beach nourishment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_nourishment

    A beach nourishment to broaden the beach and maintain the coastline can be designed using mathematical calculation models or on the basis of beach measurements. In the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, a nourishment design is mainly based on measurement, while mathematical models are mainly used elsewhere.

  3. Process flow diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_flow_diagram

    A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. The PFD displays the relationship between major equipment of a plant facility and does not show minor details such as piping details and designations.

    Example of a single industrial control loop; showing continuously modulated control of process flow. Piping and instrumentation diagram of pump with storage tank. Symbols according to EN ISO 10628 and EN 62424. A more complex example of a P&ID. A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is defined as follows: A diagram which shows the ...

  5. Process flowsheeting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_flowsheeting

    Process flowsheeting is the use of computer aids to perform steady-state heat and mass balancing, sizing and costing calculations for a chemical process. It is an essential and core component of process design. The process design effort may be split into three basic steps Synthesis; Analysis and; Optimization.

  6. Breakwater (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakwater_(structure)

    An additional rubble mound is sometimes placed in front of the vertical structure in order to absorb wave energy and thus reduce wave reflection and horizontal wave pressure on the vertical wall. Such a design provides additional protection on the sea side and a quay wall on the inner side of the breakwater, but it can enhance wave overtopping.

  7. Swimlane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimlane

    Swimlane diagrams first appeared in the 1940s as a variation of the flow process chart called multi-column charts. [1] They were called Swim Lane diagrams by Geary Rummler and Alan Brache in their book Improving Performance (1990). They were first introduced to computer-based diagramming by iGrafx. Swimlanes are also known as "Rummler-Brache ...

  8. Process design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_design

    In order of increasing detail, process design documents include: Block flow diagrams (BFD): Very simple diagrams composed of rectangles and lines indicating major material or energy flows. Process flow diagrams (PFD): Typically more complex diagrams of major unit operations as well as flow lines. They usually include a material balance, and ...
