This note
explains the following topics: Use of Simulators, Heat Exchanger Networks,
Engineering Economics- Equipment, Plant Capital Expenditure, Operating
Expenditures, Design of Heat exchangers, Distillation Columns and Absorbers-
Simulation and Design, Pumps, Valves and Piping- Simulation and Design,
Reactors, Flowsheet Simulation and Optimization, Safety Valves, Rupture Disks,
Refrigeration Systems- Simulation and Design.
This note emphasizes on the development of design
skills among the students to take design related decisions. Whatever be the
earlier conception, today a chemical engineer is expected to be able to make
complete design of a piece of chemical equipment. This note will be very useful
to undergraduate students and practitioners. A number of problems will be solved
to illustrate the concepts clearly.
