Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This work is designed to help chemical engineering students make the transition from solving well-posed problems in a specific subject, to integrating and applying all the knowledge they have gained to solving open-ended process problems. It covers the synthesis of the entire chemical design process through topics relating to the preliminary sizing of equipment, flowsheet optimization, economic evaluation of projects, and the operation of chemical processes. It also examines the economic aspects of process, including the material needed for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam (FE or EIT) required as a first step toward professional registration. It also addresses common features of all processes and explains how and why the operating conditions in a process are choses. It provides some rules of thumb for preliminary process design.
