Analysis, Synthesis and Design of Chemical Processes, 4/e (Hardcover)

More than ever, effective design is the focal point of sound chemical engineering. Analysis, Synthesis, and Design of Chemical Processes, Fourth Edition, presents design as a creative process that integrates both the big picture and the small details–and knows which to stress when, and why. Realistic from start to finish, this updated edition moves readers beyond classroom exercises into open-ended, real-world process problem solving. The authors introduce integrated techniques for every facet of the discipline, from finance to operations, new plant design to existing process optimization.

This fourth edition adds new chapters introducing dynamic process simulation; advanced concepts in steady-state simulation; extensive coverage of thermodynamics packages for modeling processes containing electrolyte solutions and solids; and a concise introduction to logic control. “What You Have Learned” summaries have been added to each chapter, and the text’s organization has been refined for greater clarity.

Coverage Includes

• Conceptualization and analysis: flow diagrams, batch processing, tracing, process conditions, and product design strategies
• Economic analysis: capital and manufacturing costs, financial calculations, and profitability analysis
• Synthesis and optimization: principles, PFD synthesis, simulation techniques, top-down and bottom-up optimization, pinch technology, and software-based control
• Advanced steady-state simulation: goals, models, solution strategies, and sensitivity and optimization studies
• Dynamic simulation: goals, development, solution methods, algorithms, and solvers
• Performance analysis: I/O models, tools, performance curves, reactor performance, troubleshooting, and “debottlenecking”
• Societal impact: ethics, professionalism, health, safety, environmental issues, and green engineering
• Interpersonal and communication skills: improving teamwork and group effectiveness

This title draws on more than fifty years of innovative chemical engineering instruction at West Virginia University and the University of Nevada, Reno. It includes suggested curricula for single-semester and year-long design courses, case studies and practical design projects, current equipment cost data, and extensive preliminary design information that can be used as the starting point for more detailed analyses.

About the CD-Rom and Web Site

The CD contains the newest version of CAPCOST, a powerful tool for evaluating fixed capital investment, full process economics, and profitability. The heat exchanger network software, HENSAD, is also included. The CD also contains an additional appendix presenting preliminary design information for fifteen key chemical processes, including four new to this edition: shift reaction; acid-gas removal via physical solvent; H₂S removal from a gas stream using the Claus process; and coal gasification. The CD also includes six additional projects, plus chapters on outcomes assessment, written and oral communications, and a written report case study. Sixty additional projects and twenty-four more problems are available at www.che.cemr.wvu.edu/publications/projects.

領先的綜合化學過程設計指南： 現在擁有廣泛的新內容和更多的過程設計

比以往任何時候都更有效的設計是堅實化學工程的焦點。《化學過程的分析、合成和設計，第四版》將設計視為一個創造性的過程，將整體和細節融合在一起，並知道在何時以及為什麼強調哪一個。從頭到尾都非常實際，這本更新的版本將讀者從課堂練習帶入到開放式、現實世界的過程問題解決中。作者介紹了整個學科的集成技術，從財務到運營，從新工廠設計到現有過程優化。

這本第四版增加了引入動態過程模擬的新章節；穩態模擬的高級概念；廣泛涵蓋包含電解質溶液和固體建模的熱力學套件；以及對邏輯控制的簡明介紹。每章都增加了“你學到了什麼”總結，並對文本的組織進行了精煉，以提高清晰度。

涵蓋的內容包括：

- 概念化和分析：流程圖、批處理、追踪、過程條件和產品設計策略
- 經濟分析：資本和製造成本、財務計算和盈利能力分析
- 合成和優化：原則、PFD合成、模擬技術、自上而下和自下而上的優化、Pinch技術和基於軟件的控制
- 高級穩態模擬：目標、模型、解決策略以及敏感性和優化研究
- 動態模擬：目標、開發、解決方法、算法和求解器
- 性能分析：I/O模型、工具、性能曲線、反應器性能、故障排除和“瓶頸”處理
- 社會影響：倫理、專業精神、健康、安全、環境問題和綠色工程
- 人際和溝通技巧：改善團隊合作和群體效能

本書借鑒了西維吉尼亞大學和內華達大學雷諾分校五十多年的創新化學工程教學經驗。它包括單學期和一年設計課程的建議課程、案例研究和實際設計項目、當前設備成本數據以及可用作更詳細分析起點的廣泛初步設計信息。

關於CD-ROM和網站
