Synopsis

Computer-aided design (CAD) technology is becoming widely accepted and used, particularly as hardware costs fall steadily and software capabilities improve. The problem most design engineers meet when considering CAD as a new tool is the seemingly endless list of new concepts that must..be mastered. Computers, storage, graphics input and output, turnkey systems, compilers, databank management, and telecommunications are all integral parts of the newly developed techniques which make up CAD. Computer-Aided Process Plant Design is a volume authored by acknowledged leaders in the field, each an expert in his area of specialization. The first section addresses the elements of CAD, explaining the complexities in a way that can be readily understood by process engineers, process designers, and project managers. There is sufficient information here to explore CAD needs with the technical computer, manager, consultants, or CAD-system vendors. This book tells how to evaluate the CAD systems offered by CAD development organizations. It also documents the impact of CAD on the activities comprising the process plant design sequence, relates actual company cases, and describes the software developed by specialist organizations for lease, sale, or in-house use. The concluding section is a look at likely CAD developments in the near future. Computer-Aided Process Plant Design is the foundation volume for learning and applying CAD techniques in the design of processes and the plants in which they are carried out. This new. book is a major contribution to the CAD field, the forefront of advanced technology in process engineering and plant design.
