Section IV: Chemical Equipment Design and Performance Process Equipment Design and Performance
The previous three sections focused on problems associated with the design, synthesis, and economics of a new chemical process, with less emphasis on equipment design. This section involves the design of new equipment and the performance of existing equipment in a chemical process. Three important factors must be understood:
In equipment design, the input and desired output are known, and the piece of equipment is designed to ensure that the output can be obtained from the input.
In equipment performance, the input and equipment specifications are known, and the output is calculated. Therefore, changes are limited by the performance of the existing ...
