Chemical engineering design

This book provides a basic, practical, and concise guide for undergraduate students in chemical engineering majors for project design. It not only includes detailed case studies (phthalic anhydride production), but also provides practical recommendations and comprehensive background information. The content covers all the main aspects of chemical plant engineering design, including preliminary technical and economic feasibility analysis as well as detailed design, with an award-winning student design project used as an example following each section of the discussion. This book applies the teaching philosophy of \"learning by doing\" to the design process. The teacher merely provides appropriate sources of information and then encourages students to make their own decisions at each stage of the design process, rather than simply following a certain design method mechanically; this helps to develop students’ ability to think independently and their creativity, making it an excellent example for promoting research-based teaching. For students studying chemical engineering design, this book is a valuable practical textbook. At the same time, it also holds significant reference value for chemical engineering designers.

Please be specific in your questions; try to ask concrete questions related to actual work!

Chemical engineering design is a collective effort; an individual cannot take everything into account. Start with the simplest thing first

In schools, one generally learns about creating PID and PFD diagrams, as well as the plan and elevation views of pipelines and buildings in chemical plants… things related to this area
