Computer Analysis Proves to be Quite a Liquid Asset
Just ask the NASA scientists who worked on last month’s Mars probe mission: sometimes you have every reason to think a piece of equipment should run smoothly, but it just doesn’t. That’s the kind of mystery a German chemical company faced with regard to a major heat exchanger, and as with the Mars probe, setting eyes on the situation was difficult. The installed 324-tube exchanger was living up to just a fraction of its theoretical performance potential, but the explanation might as well have been written on the surface of another planet.
