Features: Chemical Engineering Design is a specialized textbook for chemical engineering majors in higher education institutions. The main content introduces chemical engineering design, economic aspects, and chemical plant design. The book systematically elaborates on the core content of modern chemical process engineering—process design and economics and the fundamental principles, procedures, and methods of overall chemical plant design. The book is divided into nine chapters:
Chapter 1 introduces the current status and future of chemical process engineering;
Chapter 2 provides an overview of the basic content and procedures of chemical plant design;
Chapter 3 introduces the fundamental calculations of chemical engineering design—material and heat balance calculations, including various manual and modern computer-aided methods;
Chapter 4 introduces the basic principles and criteria for organizing and analyzing chemical processes, as well as methods for reliability analysis of processes;
Chapter 5 discusses the principles of energy analysis in chemical process analysis;
Chapter 6 introduces economic analysis and evaluation required for optimizing design solutions;
Chapter 7 covers processes and control, explaining the requirements for process diagrams and control in chemical design, as well as graphical methods;
Chapter 8 presents case studies in chemical engineering design—the process design of a 1,500-ton/year ethyl acetate production plant;
Chapter 9 explores the tools of chemical engineering design—chemical application software. Each chapter concludes with symbols and references, and an appendix is provided at the end of the book.
This book serves as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in chemical engineering in higher education institutions. It can also be referenced by technical personnel in chemical, petroleum, and related fields engaged in research, production, and design.
