Analysis, synthesis, and design of chemical processes
This fourth edition adds new chapters introducing dynamic process simulation; advanced concepts in steady-state simulation; extensive coverage of thermodynamics packages for modeling processes containing electrolyte solutions and solids; and a concise introduction to logic control. “What You Have Learned” summaries have been added to each chapter, and the text’s organization has been refined for greater clarity.
Coverage Includes
Conceptualization and analysis: flow diagrams, batch processing, tracing, process conditions, and product design strategies
Economic analysis: capital and manufacturing costs, financial calculations, and profitability analysis
Synthesis and optimization: principles, PFD synthesis, simulation techniques, top-down and bottom-up optimization, pinch technology, and software-based control
Advanced steady-state simulation: goals, models, solution strategies, and sensitivity and optimization studies
Dynamic simulation: goals, development, solution methods, algorithms, and solvers
Performance analysis: I/O models, tools, performance curves, reactor performance, troubleshooting, and “debottlenecking”
Societal impact: ethics, professionalism, health, safety, environmental issues, and green engineering
Interpersonal and communication skills: improving teamwork and group effectiveness
