The Leading Integrated Chemical Process Design Guide: Now with New Problems, New Projects, and More

More than ever, effective design is the focal point of sound chemical engineering. Analysis, Synthesis, and Design of Chemical Processes, Third Edition presents design as a creative process that integrates both the big picture and the small details—and knows which to stress when, and why. Realistic from start to finish, this book moves readers beyond classroom exercises into open-ended, real-world process problem solving. The authors introduce integrated techniques for every facet of the discipline, from finance to operations, new plant design to existing process optimization.

This fully updated Third Edition presents entirely new problems at the end of every chapter. It also adds extensive coverage of batch process design, including realistic examples of equipment sizing for batch sequencing; batch scheduling for multi-product plants; improving production via intermediate storage and parallel equipment; and new optimization techniques specifically for batch processes.

Coverage includes

• Conceptualizing and analyzing chemical process: flow diagrams, tracing, process conditions, and more
• Chemical process economics: analyzing capital and manufacturing costs, and predicting or assessing profitability
• Synthesizing and optimizing chemical processing: experience-based principles, BFD/PFD, simulations, and more
• Analyzing process performance via I/O models, performance curves, and other tools
• Process troubleshooting and “debottlenecking”
• Chemical engineering design and society: ethics, professionalism, health, safety, and new “green engineering” techniques
• Participating successfully in chemical engineering design teams

Analysis, Synthesis, and Design of Chemical Processes, Third Edition draws on nearly 35 years of innovative chemical engineering instruction at West Virginia University. It includes suggested curricula for both single-semester and year-long design courses; case studies and design projects with practical applications; and appendixes with current equipment cost data and preliminary design information for eleven chemical processes—including seven brand new to this edition.

About the CD-ROM
The CD-ROM contains the latest version of CAPCOST, a powerful tool for evaluating fixed capital investment, full process economics, and profitability—now expanded with cost data for conveyors, crystallizers, dryers, dust collectors, filters, mixers, reactors, and screens. It also contains the HENSAD tool for constructing temperature interval, cascade, and temperature enthalpy diagrams; estimating optimal approach temperatures; and designing heat exchanger networks. Also provided: additional chapters on outcomes assessment, written and oral communications, and a written report case study, as well as six complete student design projects.

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.

For junior/senior/graduate-level courses in Numerical Methods in departments of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering.

Designed for multi-level use, this text explores in detail the derivation of a variety of numerical methods and their application to the solution of engineering problems—with special attention to problems in chemical engineering. It uses MATLAB^® extensively throughout (for the WINDOWS, Macintosh, and Unix environments)—but focuses clearly on teaching students numerical methods and problem solving skills. It is not a MATLAB manual for simple number-crunching. The companion web site at informit.com/title/9780130138514 contains the MATLAB scripts used throughout the text.

  Brief Description
  
  



A companion textbook for core courses in chemical engineering or in computational methods. This book takes a “nuts and bolts” approach to interactive problem solving, offering solved, partially solved, and unsolved problems in the core subject areas of chemical engineering where standard numerical methods are illustrated and where numerical solutions are typically required.

The numerical techniques for problem solving discussed in the book allow students to use widely available mathematical software packages (such as POLYMATH™, Matlab™, Mathematica™, Maple™, MathCAD™) to solve realistic chemical engineering problems much more conveniently, faster, and more accurately than with traditional problem solving techniques.

For junior or senior-level undergraduate Chemical Engineering courses in process dynamics and control, as well as a reference for professionals seeking the latest simulation tools and advanced control strategies.

This is the first book to offer a fully integrated introduction of the fundamental topics of process dynamics with MATLAB software tools that allow students to learn the material interactively through computer-based simulation exercises. Process Control: Modeling, Design and Simulation presents realistic problems and provides the software tools for students to simulate processes and solve practical, real-world problems. Ultimately, the book will teach students to analyze dynamic chemical processes and develop automatic control strategies to operate them safely and economically.

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.
