Hardcover. Condition: New. Process design of equipment require a comprehensive knowledge of various subjects taught to chemical engineering students. Necessity of finding a book discussing design methodology with illustrations for separators, mixers, heat exchangers and chemical reactors used not only by chemical engineers but other engineers engaged in other allied branches such as environmental engineers. The book tries to fill this gap. In the era of fast computing power available to students, it has been attempted to avoid the use of design data in graphical format and use correlations. Solved problems for heat exchangers, reboilers, evaporators, distillation column, gas absorbers, fluidised bed catalytic reactors, bubble column reactors, mechanically agitated vessels and many other are illustrated with optimisation of design parameters. Contents 1. Introduction to Process Design 2. Process Design Fundamentals 3. Design of Heat Exchangers 4. Mass Transfer Equipment 5. Solid-Liquid and Liquid-Liquid Extraction 6. Humidification, Dehumidification and Drying 7.
