The course uses fundamental knowledge and skills acquired from previous courses including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat, and transport courses to to design major equipment, tools and instrumentations used in chemical plants including pumps, heat exchangers, condensers, boilers, separation towers, pipelines and pipeline valves and fittings. Commercial process simulation software, ASPEN, will be used for the design and simulation of process equipment in processing plants. In addition to the equipment design, students will learn how to consider economic and safety factors in their equipment and process design. Major features of the process simulator are used for safety and economic considerations.
