What is Pinch Technology?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Pinch-technology is a method for analyzing and designing
the use of heat energy. It can be best applied to process
industry which uses large amounts of heat energy. Pinch-
technology is based on mass and heat balance of the
concerned process. All the process streams are analyzed.
The so-called hot composite curve consists of all the
streams, which require cooling and the cold composite curve
consists of all the streams, which require heating. With
help of these curves, all the heat transfer of the process
can be analyzed simultaneously. Optimal targets for energy
consumption can be obtained before the design of the heat-
exchanger network. These targets are based on economical
optimization. Pinch-technology can be used also when
designing heat and power cogeneration and for optimal
placing of heat pumps. Computer programs and graphs are
used when designing processes with the pinch-technology.
The composite curves and energy consumption targets can be
easily composed when using software based on pinch-
technology. The topology of the heat-exchanger network in
the early phases of design is convenient to present with
graphical grid presentation

Answer / sheela
Pinch Technology is used for energy integration.Most of the
UK consultancy companies offer consultancy on this.
Basically it can be used everywhere and anywhere
when there is a process that uses energy. It is simple but
very efficient. Plenty of companies uses pinch without
knowing that they use pinch at preliminary level But a
detailed pinch design will really save lots of money
interms of energy.
Many people gets confused about PINCH. It doesnt need any
complex calculations. But you have to follow the procedure
and some simple logics thats it. Q=UAdeltaT,. CPdeltaT.
There is no major formulas and difficult equations involved
in it. Pinch Analysis and process integration is the best
book.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.16 : An engineer would like to invest his money in a home, business and bond. The implicit interest payment frequency is monthly for home loans, quarterly for business loans; semi annually for bonds. A generalized mathematical formula to calculate I = interest rate equivalence is I = (1 + i / N) ^ N - 1 where i = annual interest rate, N = number of payment per year. (a) Calculate the value of N for : (i) home loans; (ii) business loans; (iii) bonds. (b) For i = 0.08, find the value of I for : (i) home loans; (ii) business loans; (iii) bonds.

FOOD ENGINEERING - QUESTION 23.1 : (a) According to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) (http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list, accessed 12 August 2016), 100 g of potatoes generate 77 kcal of energy. For raw tomatoes, 111 g have 18 kcal of energy. Question : How much energy will one gain if 150 g of heated potatoes are eaten with 200 g of raw tomatoes? (b) If 1 Calorie = 1 food Calorie = 1 kilocalorie and 1000 calories = 1 food Calorie, then how many Calories are there in 9600 calories? (c) According to a food package of potato chips, 210 Calories are produced per serving size of 34 g. In actual experiment of food calorimetry lab, 1.75 g of potato chips, when burnt, will produce 9.6 Calories. For each serving size of potato chip, find the difference of Calories between the actual experimental value and the value stated on the food package. (d) The specific heat of water is c = 1 cal / (g.K) where cal is calorie, g is gram and K is Kelvin. Then what is the temperature rise of water, in degree Celsius, when 150 g of water is heated by 9600 calories of burning food?

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.6 : In a random walk, a stochastic process starts off with a score of A. This is a score for a chemical engineering test. At each discrete event, there is probability p chance you will increase your score by B and a (1 - p) chance you will decrease your score by C. The event happens T times. Let D = expected value of score. (a) Form an equation of D as a function of A, B, C, T and p. (b) Find the value of D if A = 60, B = 1, C = -1, T = 50, p = 0.5.
At 150 degree Celsius, a mixture of 40 wt % Sn and 60 wt % Pb present, forming phases of alpha and beta. Chemical composition of Sn at each phase : CO (overall) : 40 %, CA (alpha) : 11 %, CB (beta) : 99 %. (a) State 2 reasons for the existences of alpha and beta phases for the mixture of Sn – Pb at 150 degree Celsius. (b) By using Lever Rule, calculate the weight fraction of each phase for alpha, WA = Q / (P Q) and beta, WB = P / (P Q) where Q = CB – CO and P = CO – CA.

Question 107 - In N + 1 Rule in Quantum Chemistry, whenever a spin 1 / 2 nucleus is adjacent to N other nuclei, it is split into N + 1 distinct peaks. In 1 peak or singlet, there is only 1 magnitude. In 2 peaks or doublet, the ratio of magnitude of each peak is 1 : 1. In 3 peaks or triplet, the ratio of magnitude of each peak is 1 : 2 : 1. In 4 peaks or quartet, the ratio of magnitude of each peak is 1 : 3 : 3 : 1. In 5 peaks or quintet, the ratio of magnitude of each peak is 1 : 4 : 6 : 4 : 1. (a) By using binomial coefficients or Triangle of Pascal find the ratio of magnitude of each peak if 6 peaks exists. (b) How many adjacent nuclei are available in a spin 1 / 2 nucleus in such situation of 6 peaks?
