Process Equipment and Plant Design: Principles and Practices

Process Equipment and Plant Design: Principles and Practices covers process design in the chemical engineering industry, dealing with the design of individual process equipment and its configuration as a complete functional system. Chapters cover typical heat and mass transfer systems and the equipment included in chemical engineering curriculums, such as heat exchangers, heat exchanger networks, evaporators, distillation, absorption, adsorption, and more. The book's authors also cover cooling towers and extraction and leaching, along with topics on process utilities and piping and hydraulics that include instrumentation and safety basics that supplement the equipment design procedure. Other sections of the book discuss plant hydraulics and process vessels, heat transfer processes, plant auxiliaries, and engineered safety, along with examples of process design in complete plants. Serves as a consolidated resource for process and plant design, including process utilities and engineered safety Bridges the gap between industry and academia by including practices in design and summarizing relevant theoriesPresents design solutions as a complete functional system and not merely the design of major equipmentProvides design procedures as pseudo-code/flow-chart, along with practical considerations INDICE: SECTION I: INTRODUCTION TO PROCESS DESIGN 1.
