Analysis, Synthesis, and Design of Chemical Processes, Third Edition
by Richard C. Bailie, Joseph A. Shaeiwitz, Richard Turton, Wallace B. Whiting
Overview
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 processes: 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.
