Harmonizing Traditional Crafts with Contemporary Creative Innovation
Abstract: Modern design emphasizes simplicity, functionality and innovation, focusing on efficiency and minimalism. When allied with tradition, it enriches spaces with cultural depth, craftsmanship, and practices that respect history. As sustainability grows central, traditional techniques offer insights into resource efficiency and cultural continuity. The synergy between modern design and tradition is often misconstrued as a tension between historical continuity and contemporary progress. Many argue that modern architecture, with its emphasis on …

Review of Heuristic Rules and Complex Column Arrangements for the Sequencing of Multicomponent Distillation Column
Abstract: An ordinary distillation column separates a binary feed into two products, but multi-component mixtures need more complex separation sequences. For a ternary mixture of component ABC, the separation can follow a direct sequence (A/BC, B/C) or an indirect sequence (AB/C, A/B), in which the direct sequence is preferred due to the lower operating cost. The heuristic rules based sequencing can be adapted for multi-component complex feed. As the number of …
