This book discusses the design methodology for chemical process
equipment carrying out heat and mass transfer operations and various
types of reactors. Process design is an important step before
achieving a mechanical design of chemical process equipment. It
requires comprehensive knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid flow, heat,
and mass transfer operations, and chemical reaction engineering, which
is covered by the various chapters in this book. It covers process
design of (1) heat exchangers, condensers, and reboilers; (2) packed
and stage columns for distillation and gas absorption in chapter; (3)
liquid–liquid extractor and solid–liquid leaching systems; (4)
cooling towers; and (5) four different types of catalytic reactors,
packed bed, fluidized bed, slurry bubble column, and mechanically
agitated slurry reactor. The book emphasizes using correlations and
equations in place of design data available in graphical or tabular
forms to make it suitable for solving problems using spreadsheets and
other software. It includes new correlations if not available in the
literature and references to data available on web resources. The book
covers all major topics for the course Chemical Process Engineering
for undergraduate students and is also helpful in carrying out process
design calculations for undergraduate design projects.
