The scientific approach to process design.

Over the last 20 years, fundamental design concepts and advanced computer modeling have revolutionized process design for chemical engineering. Team work and creative problem solving are still the building blocks of successful design, but new design concepts and novel mathematical programming models based on computer-based tools have taken out much of the guesswork. This book presents the new revolutionary knowledge, taking a systematic approach to design at all levels.

A Solutions Manual is available; ISBN: 0-13-272337-9.

Systematic Methods of Chemical Process Design is a textbook for undergraduate and graduate design courses. The book presents a step-by-step approach for learning the techniques for synthesizing and analyzing process flowsheets. The major items involved in the design process are mirrored in the book's main sections:

• Strategies for preliminary process analysis and evaluation
• Advanced analysis using rigorous models
• Basic concepts in process synthesis
• Optimization models for process synthesis and design
• Appendices for reference and review.

Developed and refined in several courses at Carnegie Mellon, preliminary versions of the book have also been tested in Argentina, Brazil, England, Korea, Norway, and Slovenia. Exercises at the end of each chapter make it suitable for teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses, or for the working professional who wants to keep up with current methods.

Appropriate for all courses in chemical engineering process design.

Analysis, Synthesis and Design of Chemical Processes, Second Edition moves chemical engineering students beyond neatly delineated classroom exercises and into the world of solving the open-ended process problems they will see in practice. The authors accomplish this by emphasizing design synthesis of the entire process—from equipment sizing to optimization, finances to operation. Drawing on over 30 years of teaching chemical engineering process design, they present design as a creative process that integrates the big picture with the small details, and relies on knowing which to stress, and why. They show students how to apply key process design techniques to every aspect of the discipline, from the conceptual design of a plant to improving an existing process. This edition has been updated throughout, and contains extensive new coverage of environmental, health, and safety issues, green engineering, and engineering ethics. Coverage also includes: evolution and generation of multiple process configurations; estimating capital investment, manufacturing cost, and other economic factors; synthesis and optimization of chemical processes; performance analysis of existing processes and equipment; and more. The authors provide suggested curricula for both single-semester and year-long design courses, case studies and design projects with practical applications, and appendices with current equipment cost data and preliminary design information for four chemical processes. The accompanying CD-ROM contains powerful tools for helping students master chemical process design, including a thoroughly revised version of CAPCOST for evaluating fixed capital investments and full process economics; HENSAD for planning temperatures and heat exchange; a virtual plant tour of a simple chemical process; and additional student design projects.
