Features: This book is further developed based on Chemical Engineering Design, incorporating the latest trends and achievements in international chemical engineering development. It serves as a specialized textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering and technology programs. The book systematically elaborates on the core content of modern chemical process engineering: the fundamental principles, procedures, and methods for process design and overall chemical plant design. The book consists of 11 chapters.
Chapter 1 introduces the core content of modern chemical process engineering.
Chapter 2 provides an overview of the content and procedures for overall chemical plant design.
Chapter 3 comprehensively discusses the strategies and methods for basic design calculations—material and energy balance.
Chapter 4 elaborates in detail on the fundamental rules of chemical process synthesis.
Chapter 5 focuses on the methods for analyzing process reliability, safety, and risk, as well as their significance in optimizing process synthesis solutions.
Chapter 6 briefly summarizes the hydrodynamic design methods for chemical pipelines.
Chapter 7 introduces the fundamental principles and methods for economic analysis and evaluation of design.
Chapter 8 explores the significance and description methods of process control.
Chapter 9 introduces safety engineering and ecological industrial systems.
Chapter 10 comprehensively discusses the role of chemical design tools—chemical application software—its present state and future prospects, and provides readers with some commonly used practical chemical software.
Chapter 11 offers a large-scale case study to integrate and consolidate the content of the preceding chapters.
In the appendix, readers are provided with practical design data sources and a list of useful design software for reference.
This book comes with a companion CD-ROM, primarily including content such as heat exchanger network design, AspenPlus calculation examples, PROCESS II calculation examples, and ChemCAD calculation examples.
This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering and technology programs at universities and colleges, as well as a reference for researchers, production personnel, and designers in the chemical and petroleum industries.
