Analysis, Synthesis, and Design of Chemical Processes, Third Edition

Appendix B Information for the Preliminary Design of Eleven Chemical Processes

The purpose of the process designs contained in this appendix is to provide the reader with a preliminary description of several common chemical processes. The designs provided are the result of preliminary simulation using the CHEMCAD process simulation software and often contain simplifying assumptions such as ideal column behavior (shortcut method using the Underwood Gilliland method) and in some cases the use of ideal thermodynamics models (k-value = ideal gas, enthalpy = ideal). These designs are used throughout the book in the end-of-chapter problems and provide a starting point for detailed design. The authors recognize that there are additional complicating ...
