In Chapter 2, we classified the unit operations from a PFD into one of the six blocks of a generic block flow process diagram. In this chapter, you gain a deeper understanding of a chemical process by learning how to trace the paths taken by chemical species through a chemical process.
In this chapter, guidelines and some useful tactics are provided to help you trace chemicals through a process. Two important operations for tracing chemical pathways in PFDs are the adiabatic mixer and adiabatic splitter.
Mixer: Two or more input streams are combined to form a single stream. This single output stream has a well-defined ...
