  1. Graphical Communication Ben Dalton UTC ENCH 435 September 16, 2008

  2. Introduction • Graphics can be confusing • Sometimes less is more • Focus on the point being made • Best graphics are self-explanatory • Break up complicated data to make it easier to digest

  3. Jumbled Mess

  4. Less can be more • Most important data? • Remove extraneous data • Don’t be afraid of multiple graphs

  5. ~3100W ~2000W ~1000W ~500W

  6. Observations at ~3100 W • Vigorous boiling in reboiler and all trays • Rapid condensation • Leaking water and steam around seal

  7. Observations at ~2000 W • Steady boiling in reboiler and all trays • Moderate condensation • Seal only leaking small amount of steam

  8. Observations at ~1000 W • Gentle boiling in reboiler and most trays • Boiling appeared to have stopped in tray 1 • Very little activity in the condenser • Seal stopped leaking

  9. Observations at ~500W • No boiling in any of the trays • Slight boiling in reboiler • Residual heat? • No activity in the condenser

  10. ~3100W Reboiler Tray 1 ~2000W ~1000W ~500W

  11. Close but not quite

  12. ~3100W ~2000W Cooling Water Return ΔT = 6.7 ΔT = 0.6 ΔT = 3.7 Cooling Water Supply ~1000W ~500W

  13. Summary • Graphics can confuse audience • Done properly, graphics convey a lot of information • Useful for illustrating your words • Big point sizes and high contrast
