Den Polytekniske Læreanstalt, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (i daglig tale Danmarks Tekniske Universitet eller blot DTU, er en selvejende uddannelses- og forskningsinstitution til uddannelse af civilingeniører og diplomingeniører samt forskning inden for ingeniørvidenskab.
The Technical University of Denmark was founded in 1829 as the 'College of Advanced Technology' (Danish: Den Polytekniske Læreanstalt). The initiative was taken by the renowned physicist Hans Christian Ørsted (then a professor at the University of Copenhagen) who also served as its principal until his death in 1851. The university is generally understood to be one of Europe's leading engineering institutions, and the best engineering university in Scandinavia.

Learn to Sell
Learn to Sell20 selling should be rewarding: for the seller – and the buyer Your product will only be a success if you are able to sell it. We spend this lesson on selling, to help you see how selling can influence development. Everybody is a seller sometimes in life*. Even scientists have to sell their ideas to people who fund their research. Many of us do not like selling – it always seems to bring the risk 'I may be turned down'. That hurts. Even so, selling can be a rewarding experience – both for the seller and the buyer – when the product and the price 'fit'. _______________________________________________________________ *Unless they set up their own business, young engineers seldom go into sales early in their career. Sales are too important to leave in the hands of a beginner. |

Structure
Structureto improve a product, improve its structure Find Structure 5 Most chemical products are not homogeneous: they consist of two or more phases. Together these form a structure: a more-or-less regular arrangement of parts. This structure or morphology largely determines the properties of a product: often more than the chemical composition. We use structure to make a solid out of a liquid (in ice-cream, shaving foam, a sponge and in tissue), to make a liquid out of a solid (in polishing fluids), to adsorb impurities (in activated carbon). We use structure to change optical properties (in paint), to make food digestible (in bread), to make a thermal insulator out of a heat conductor (in a blanket). We use structure to mix liquids that cannot be mixed (such as in mayonnaise), to make composites that can handle large forces with little material. You find structures almost everywhere. Getting to understand the structure is one of the best points to start improving a product. |

Team Up the organisation of product development
Team Up the organisation of product development2 You can seldom develop a product alone, so you need an organisation. This chapter introduces such organisations, and shows where you might fit in. |

Equip Process
Equip Process16 look ahead! or you must use what is available… either: you must find everything yourself You now have a recipe and a flow sheet for your process. The next step is to get equipment to do the job. Here you can expect either of two problems: (1) you have to find everything yourself, or (2) you have to use what is available. The second is the most common situation. In either case you must look ahead. How are you going to do things on production scale? Should you modify the lab recipe before going on*? ______________________________________________________________ *The next chapter on Scaling-Up also deals with this problem. |

Specify Product
Specify Product9 what the product has to do not how this should be done in measurable terms specification: We now have an ordered list of customer needs, but most of these are qualitative. They are too vague to guide design. What we need are product specifications: these describe what a product should do in measurable terms. (In this stage of designing we do not specify how a certain result could or should be obtained. Experience tells that what and how are better dealt with after each other and not at the same time.) _______________________________________________________________ With M.E. Vigild. |

Find Needs begin with the customer
Find Needs begin with the customer8 (but which one?) You must get customers for a new product. If you don't see them coming: stop. Finding customers should be one of the first jobs of any development team. It should go on through the whole of development. |

Estimate Cost how much does it cost to make a box of matches?
Estimate Cost how much does it cost to make a box of matches?15 Above you see a box of safety matches. The question is: how much would it cost to make this*? The only thing you know at this moment is the price in the supermarket: about one and a half Danish kroner (or € 0.2) per box. This is almost certainly an upper limit to the cost. But how much smaller is it? You might be tempted to ring or e-mail Udevalla (where the matches are made) to find out. Don't do that: you will only make a nuisance out of yourself. Firms will not tell you what their costs are: in doing so they would give away too much to customers and competitors. Even so, cost is important in product development, and you will have to build up experience. This is a frustrating thing to do from within the walls of a university: we do not well know how to do it either. The cost figures in this lesson are largely fiction: we hope to improve them in the coming years. _____________________________________________________________ *Written with J. Abildskov. |

Flowsheet Process but you need to make 100 tons
Flowsheet Process but you need to make 100 tons14 ingredients equipment procedures recipe for 100 grams You have played in the lab and now have the product as you want it. You have a recipe: a list of ingredients, the lab-equipment required, and a description of the procedures to make the product. However, this is all on a scale of perhaps one hundred grams – in a laboratory setting. We still have a lot to do before the product is in the market. Here we start thinking about making the product on a larger scale, say a thousand or a million times more than in the recipe. We first do this on paper. This is the last point where you can go back to the lab and improve your process without needing to redo expensive large scale experiments. |

Scale-Up
Scale-Up17 you need product for testing you must learn to work on a large scale have you ever cleaned a 1000 m3 spray dryer? you need product for marketing Now comes a critical stage: you must learn to make large amounts of product. You need these for testing, both by yourself and by (potential) customers. There are differences between small and large operations. Consider a spray dryer. A laboratory machine might have a volume of 1 m3. Suppose you are spraying a sugar solution, and something goes wrong. You end up with a kilogram of sticky, partly soluble sugar on the wall of the machine. Cleaning will be a nasty job. Now think of what happens if you do the same in a 1000 m3 spray dryer, in which you deposit one ton of sugar…#@&!! Believe me, this can happen. There are more differences between small and large operations, and you will have to learn to handle these. |
