Riassunto

For upper-level undergraduate chemical engineering courses in Chemical Engineering Process Design, an A.B.E.T. requirement.

Designed to help chemical engineering students make the transition from solving well-posed problems in a specific subject to integrating and applying all the knowledge they have gained to solving open-ended process problems. It is intended to help students hone their design skills through process design, rather than plant design and move them toward becoming practicing engineers. In that way, the book takes a systems- oriented approach, rather than to simply provide a compendium of design information.

Integrate design principles throughout the engineering process for continuous improvement.

Good engineering design is a creative, dynamic, and iterative process. It demands an understanding of the big picture, the minute details, and the skills to balance them. Analysis, Synthesis, and Design of Chemical Processes presents a holistic approach to process design, walking through each step from initial process cost estimation to final process optimization.

The emphasis on solving open-ended problems gives students a taste of real-life engineering in place of artificial classroom exercises. By stressing macro-level analysis, Analysis, Synthesis, and Design of Chemical Processes concentrates on the elements that are common to all engineering projects, rather than specific nuts and bolts issues that change from one application to another.

Major topics include:

• Capital cost estimation and profitability analysis
• Structure and technical analysis of a process flow diagram
• Preliminary equipment design and performance evaluation
• Synthesis and optimization of a chemical process
• Environmental concerns, health and safety, and ethics
• Written and oral communications and report documentation

Analysis, Synthesis, and Design of Chemical Processes grows out of thirty years of experience in engineering design at West Virginia University. The authors include suggestions for using it in both single-semester and year-long courses. Four case studies and six design projects offer practical applications. Extensive reference materials include design heuristics, flow diagrams, and cost equations.

CAPCOST, a Windows-based program for estimating the fixed capital cost of a process, is included with the text. By entering capacity, operating pressure, and materials of construction data for all major process equipment, the total installed cost of a chemical process can be estimated.
