In the future, chemical engineering installations can also use such excellent example problems
Modular installation saves time and effort while reducing costs; it also enables quick repairs in the event of failures. The only drawback is that the high requirements for overall fit necessitate precise manufacturing processes. Additionally, due to the modular design, the overall strength is relatively low, making it suitable for industries with low intensity, low value, and frequent changes. After all, aren’t our own assembled computers modular as well?~
The only drawback is that the high requirements for overall fit necessitate precise control over manufacturing processes. We no longer lack such equipment; what’s lacking is the right approach. Additionally, due to the modular nature of these systems, their overall strength is relatively low, making them suitable for industries with low intensity of use, low value, and frequent changes. After all, aren’t the computers we assemble ourselves also modular in nature? It seems it’s actually the opposite. Oil platforms and shipbuilding are high-value industries; bridge construction is as well
Modularity originated in shipbuilding, where the hull is first divided into several sections during design; these different sections are constructed in workshops and on site, and then assembled and welded together in a dock to form the entire hull, which is subsequently equipped and painted at the pier. After modern modular shipbuilding technology was applied to offshore engineering, it became closely linked to the petrochemical industry. In offshore engineering facilities, petrochemical plants are constructed in a modular manner, just like ships, and then installed at the project site, giving rise to a new type of turnkey contract model – “EPCI” (Design, Procurement, Construction, Installation).
That is called segmentation, block.
Using factory-prepared components in construction is still a relatively new approach
Seeing the modular transformation of old ships in the modern shipbuilding industry. A whimsical idea came to mind. If biotechnology and gene-reconstruction techniques are perfected, a person who is short in height could have a new body segment created, which would be inserted at the level of the pelvis; after suturing, the person could grow taller again. This ingenious idea can be applied to basketball players, making them all 2.80 meters tall.;P
I’m going off-topic. Now the device can be made as a detachable, sliding unit that can be removed entirely when it is no longer needed
It’s like solving a puzzle: lol
