Systematic Methods of Chemical Process Design by Lorenz T. Biegler, Ignacio E. Grossmann and Arthur W. Westerberg presents a scientific method to design, starting from an elementary treatment that is appropriate for the undergraduate degree, working towards superior matters ready for graduate stage courses. This edition gives a comprehensive and trendy therapy to process design of continuous and batch processes.
Over the past 20 years, basic design concepts and advanced computer modeling have revolutionized course of design for chemical engineering. Workforce work and artistic downside fixing are nonetheless the building blocks of profitable design, however new design ideas and novel mathematical programming models based mostly on computer-based tools have taken out much of the guesswork. This book presents the new revolutionary knowledge, taking a scientific strategy to design at all levels.
The emphasis is on the application of methods for preliminary design, on the systematic development of representations for course of synthesis, and on the event of mathematical models for simulation and optimization for his or her use in computer-based solution techniques. The main purpose in learning these techniques is to be able to synthesize and design process flowsheets, understanding the choices concerned within the reaction, separation, and heat integration subsystems, as well as their interactions and financial implications.
The applications deal mostly with large- scale continuous processes, although some introduction to multiproduct batch processes is given. Also, while economics is used as the main measure for evaluation, a brief exposure to operability and discussion on multiple criteria (safety, environmental impact) is covered.
The book consists of 22 chapters, organized into four major parts: I: Preliminary Analysis and Evaluation of Processes, II: Analysis with Rigorous Process Models, III: Basic Concepts in Process Synthesis, IV: Optimization Approaches to Process Synthesis and Design. An introductory chapter is also presented to give a broader view of process design. The textbook is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering.
At the undergraduate level it is intended to be a textbook for the senior design course. Chapters 1 to 11 (except 9) could be typically covered in such a course. Chapters 9 and 15 to 17 of Part IV can be used as part of an undergraduate optimization course. At the graduate level, Chapters 9 to 22 and Appendix A can be used as a basis for an advanced process systems engineering course. Chapters 10 to 22 (Parts III and IV) are aimed specifically at a graduate course in process synthesis. Each chapter contains a set of exercises and references to representative publications. Design practitioners who wish to learn about modern design techniques should find this book useful as a reference text.
It is a textbook for undergraduate and graduate design courses. The book presents a step-by-step approach for learning the techniques for synthesizing and analyzing process flowsheets. Developed and refined in several courses at Carnegie Mellon, preliminary versions of the book have also been tested in Argentina, Brazil, England, Korea, Norway, and Slovenia. Exercises at the end of each chapter make it suitable for teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses, or for the working professional who wants to keep up with current methods.
