Online resources: Summary: "Bottom line: For a holistic view of chemical engineering design, this book provides as much, if not more, than any other book available on the topic" --Extract from Chemical Engineering Resources review Chemical Engineering Design is a complete course text for students of chemical engineering. Written for the Senior Design Course, and also suitable for introduction to chemical engineering courses, it covers the basics of unit operations and the latest aspects of process design, equipment selection, plant and operating economics, safety and loss prevention. It is a textbook that students will want to keep through their undergraduate education and on into their professional lives. New to this edition: Revised organization into Part I: Process Design, and Part II: Plant Design. The broad themes of Part I are flowsheet development, economic analysis, safety and environmental impact and optimization. Part II contains chapters on equipment design and selection that can be used as supplements to a lecture course or as essential references for students or practicing engineers working on design projects. New discussion of conceptual plant design, flowsheet development and revamp design Significantly increased coverage of capital cost estimation, process costing and economics New chapters on equipment selection, reactor design and solids handling processes New sections on fermentation, adsorption, membrane separations, ion exchange and chromatography Increased coverage of batch processing, food, pharmaceutical and biological processes All equipment chapters in Part II revised and updated with current information Updated throughout for latest US codes and standards, including API, ASME and ISA design codes and ANSI standards Additional worked examples and homework problems The most complete and up to date coverage of equipment selection 108 realisticSummary: Front Cover -- Chemical Engineering Design: Principles, Practice and Economics of Plant and Process Design -- Copyright -- Table of Contents -- Preface to the Second Edition -- How to Use This Book -- Part I: Process Design -- Part II: Plant Design -- Supplementary Material -- Acknowledgments -- Part 1: Process Design -- 1 Introduction to Design -- 1.1 Introduction -- 1.2 Nature of Design -- 1.2.1 The Design Objective (The Need) -- 1.2.2 Setting the Design Basis -- 1.2.3 Generation of Possible Design Concepts -- 1.2.4 Fitness Testing -- 1.2.5 Economic Evaluation, Optimization, and Selection -- 1.2.6 Detailed Design and Equipment Selection -- 1.2.7 Procurement, Construction, and Operation -- 1.3 The Organization of a Chemical Engineering Project -- 1.4 Project Documentation -- 1.4.1 Design Documents -- Calculation Sheets -- Drawings -- Specification Sheets -- Process Manuals -- Operating Manuals -- 1.4.2 Design Reports -- 1.5 Codes and Standards -- 1.6 Design Factors (Design Margins) -- 1.7 Systems of Units -- 1.8 Product Design -- 1.8.1 New Chemical Products -- New Molecules -- New Formulations -- New Materials -- New Equipment and Devices -- 1.8.2 Understanding Customer Needs -- 1.8.3 Developing Product Specifications -- Quality Function Deployment -- 1.8.4 Fitness Testing -- Prototype Testing -- Safety and Efficacy Testing -- References -- Nomenclature -- Problems -- 2 Process Flowsheet Development -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.2 Flowsheet Presentation -- 2.2.1 Block Diagrams -- 2.2.2 PFD Symbols -- 2.2.3 Presentation of Stream Flow Rates -- 2.2.4 Information to be Included -- Essential Information -- Optional Information -- 2.2.5 Layout -- 2.2.6 Precision of Data -- 2.2.7 Basis of the Calculation -- 2.2.8 Batch Processes -- 2.2.9 Utilities -- 2.2.10 Equipment Identification -- 2.2.11 Flowsheet Drafting Programs.PPN: PPN: 1658085167Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
