Problems with process design
Thread Content
I work in equipment design. Recently, my company has asked me to carry out process calculations, process design, and skid-mounted design – it’s like not knowing where to start. I’m reaching out to fellow professionals for recommendations on any relevant materials or books that might be useful. Thank you so much!
I know you work at that organization now
First, calculate the material balance and heat balance according to the process; for equipment calculations, refer to the \"Chemical Process Design Handbook\"
It can't be explained in just a sentence or two. That’s too much to ask of you! It’s best if you first learn the steps by following those who are in the same field of craft as you or are the easiest to approach. Learn to use the tools again.
For example, when you need to perform process calculations for towers, there is a dedicated book titled \"Process Calculations for Towers\". Learn HYSYS after you’ve finished reading it. It’s basically possible to calculate simple towers.
Chemical process design manuals, chemical system manuals, etc
For process calculations in the chemical industry, Tianjin University’s textbooks on \"Principles of Chemical Engineering\", volumes 1 and 2, are essential reading； There is also another book, \"Chemical Process Calculations,\" which deals with material balance and energy balance.
Take a look at exchanging experiences and learn from it
Is it because the pumpkin is round that cows can’t find a place to bite into it when eating pumpkins?
It depends on what the manufacturing process is; one has to learn the specific processes in detail*. What’s written in books is mostly theoretical, so it’s necessary to combine theory with experience.
