Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If conventional extraction methods are used for Hibiscus sabdariffa L. 'TAITUNG NO. 6', then the extraction process is simple, but the active components are not effectively enhanced
Solution Approach 1:
The extraction process is divided into multiple sequential stages: primary extraction to obtain initial extract, followed by ultrasonic extraction to further enhance active components, and finally filtration to purify the product. This segmentation allows each stage to target specific extraction goals, progressively increasing active component concentration while maintaining process manageability
Solution Approach 2:
The primary extraction step is performed before ultrasonic extraction to pre-concentrate active components from the raw material. This preliminary action prepares the material in a state that is more responsive to subsequent ultrasonic treatment, maximizing the effectiveness of the enhanced extraction step while reducing the time and energy required for the overall process
2Reliability
If conventional extraction methods are used, then the extraction process is quick, but the efficacy of active components is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The extraction process maintains continuous useful action through the sequential connection of primary extraction and ultrasonic extraction steps. The output of the first step becomes the input for the second, ensuring that active components are continuously being extracted and concentrated without interruption. This continuity maximizes extraction efficiency and ensures complete recovery of active components, thereby enhancing overall efficacy while managing total process time
3Quantity of substance
If ultrasonic extraction is performed on primary extract, then active components are enhanced, but the process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The primary extract serves as an intermediary substance between the raw material and the final purified product. It concentrates active components from the raw material in a preliminary step, creating a more manageable intermediate product that is then subjected to ultrasonic extraction. This intermediary step facilitates the enhanced extraction of active components while organizing the process into distinct, manageable stages that reduce overall complexity
