machinery building is experiencing a flood of new orders

The Association of German Machinery and Plant Building (short: VDMA published) is still very good news. The number of jobs at the German engineering to rise steadily. Orders rose in June compared to the month of the previous year by 62%.
The turnaround in one year

Thus, the increase was in the first Half of one third. The June 2009 but was one of the weakest months in general. The producers aim for this year production growth of 3%, after having registered a decline from the previous year quarter.
The surge in demand from the domestic

Furthermore, the domestic business is growing strongly. This resulted in June, an increase of 67%. Much earlier we reported already in demand from foreign countries a boost.
Domestic business is benefiting from the indirect exports

The domestic business can benefit most from the indirect exports. This provided the German machinery and plant building industry to other local producers, which produce these plants once more plants for export. This is particularly the drive as well as the bearings for the wind turbines of the case.
The strong growth in demand from abroad

The growth drivers of demand from abroad comes mainly from Asia (eg India, China). Even Russia, the U.S. and Japan to come out of the recession. The most important single market by the German producer is China, followed by the United States. The manufacturers of Germany provide about three quarters of their assets abroad.
The load factor in July

According to VDMA, the utilization was 83% in the last month. The industry recorded last year with 69% still a low point. An optimal utilization would be between 85% and 86%. This could still have a shortage in production.
No uniform trend reported

In the industry can see however, no uniform trend. Areas that have come early in the crisis, such as textile machines, can now achieve huge gains. Contrast, areas that have come late in the crisis, such as agricultural machinery, continues to lag behind.

distillation machines

All machines have drivers. A distillation column is also a machine, driven by a reboiler. It is the heat duty of the reboiler, supplemented by
the heat content (enthalpy) of the feed, that provides the energy to make a split between light and heavy components. A useful example of the
importance of the reboiler in distillation comes from the venerable use of sugar cane in my home state of Louisiana. If the cut cane is left in the fields for a few months, its sugar content ferments to alcohol. Squeezing the cane then produces a rather lowproof alcoholic drink. Of course, one would naturally wish to concentrate the alcohol content by distillation, in the still shown in
Fig. 6.1.
The alcohol is called the light component, because it boils at a lower temperature than water; the water is called the heavy component, because it boils at a higher temperature than alcohol. Raising the top reflux rate will lower the tower-top temperature and reduce the amount of the heavier component, water, in the overhead alcohol product. But what happens to the weight of vapor flowing up through the trays? Does the flow go up, go down, or remain the same? There are two ways to answer this question.
