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.

At the undergraduate level, this book is intended to be a textbook for the Senior Design Course. This text can also be used for a graduate course in Process Synthesis.

The book presents a systematic approach to design, starting from an elementary treatment that is suitable for the undergraduate level, working toward advanced topics prepared for graduate level courses. This edition provides a comprehensive and modern treatment to process design of continuous and batch processes.

A comprehensive introduction to the concepts, techniques, and applications of model-based process control that presents the process control problem as a subset of overall plant operations problem rather than as a separate discipline. In addition, the approaches presented in the book are motivated by their use in solving practical problems, thus emphasizing methods rather than theory. The examples used to illustrate these methods and the MATLAB software that is included are further intended to assist the reader in the design and tuning of actual control systems.

For two-semester, graduate-level courses in Chemical Thermodynamics.

Rigorous and comprehensive in approach, this text explores the theory, concepts and applications of classical thermodynamics and introduces a molecular-level perspective of constitutive property models for both electrolyte and non-electrolyte mixtures. Extensive examples and problems provide ample opportunities for connecting theory with applications.
