Course Objective:
To learn
about the design procedures of process equipment used in chemical process
plants.
Introduction: TEMA standards, Mass
transfer equipment, Chemical reactor heating and cooling systems, General
design procedures.
Heat Transfer Equipment: Shell and tube heat
exchangers general design procedures, Fluid allocation, Baffles, LMTD and e-NTU methods, Design
calculations by Kerns’ and Bell’s methods, Condenser and re-boiler design,
Plate type heat exchanger design, Fouling.
Mass Transfer Equipment: Process design
calculations for binary and multi-component distillation, Fenske-Underwood-Gilliland
Method, Selection of key components, Feed stage location, Types of plate
contractors, Tray layout and hydraulic design, Packed towers and column
internals, Types of packing, General pressure drop correlations, Column
diameter and height.
Chemical Reactors: Types of heating and
cooling methods, Design of helical coil system, Jacketed
systems.
Software Tools: Application of
software tools like ASPEN PLUS, COMSOL etc. for analysis of heat and mass
transfer equipments and reactor systems.
