Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fluid mixture containing active fluid is fed into the fluid to be treated to induce oxidation or reduction reactions, then the physical and chemical characteristics of impurities are changed, but the relative content of active fluid is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
A feedback control system is implemented where a sensor continuously monitors the relative content of active fluid in the fluid mixture, and a controller adjusts the flow rates of the active fluid source and carrier fluid source to maintain the relative content within a predetermined range, preventing excessive consumption while ensuring effective impurity removal
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the parameters of the fluid mixture by varying the flow rates of active fluid and carrier fluid to optimize the relative content of active fluid, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions and maintain effective impurity removal while minimizing active fluid consumption
2Reliability
If the relative content of active fluid is increased to maintain reaction effectiveness, then the attraction and adhering effect on impurities is enhanced, but the cost and consumption of active fluid increases
Solution Approach 1:
The feedback control system monitors the relative content of active fluid and adjusts the flow rates to maintain optimal levels, preventing excessive quantities of active fluid from being used while ensuring sufficient attraction and adhering effect for effective impurity removal
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses a controlled amount of active fluid that is sufficient to achieve the desired attraction and adhering effect, rather than using excessive quantities, thereby reducing costs while maintaining effectiveness
