Synopsis

Multistage separation processes are at the heart of the petroleum processing and chemical production industries. They yield many important products, such as petrol and plastics as specialized as medical-grade pharmaceuticals. This book provides information and insights into these processes to emphasize intuitive understanding and practical interpretation. Focusing on computer modelling and modern simulation techniques, the text is a useful aid for evaluating performance trends, limitations and bottlenecks. Rigorous mathematical methods are presented, but wherever possible, shortcut methods are applied to help engineers make reliable and quick decisions. Fundamental principles, predicting thermodynamic properties, the equilibrium stage and different types of multistage and complex multistage processes are covered throoughly. Tray hydraulics, packed towers and batch distillation are also covered. This book, for process engineers and engineering students, serves as both a textbook for the study of separations, and a useful reference for solving everyday problems.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Multistage separation processes are essentially the heart and soul of the petroleum, petrochemical, and chemical industries. They yield products as common as gasoline and plastics and those as specialized as medical-grade pharmaceuticals. Predicting the Performance of Multistage Separation Processes provides chemical engineers with solid information and insights into these processes. It reaches beyond fundamental principles to focus on intuitive understanding and practical interpretation. To that end, it presents numerous examples from a variety of applications, effectively demonstrating the performance of processes under varying conditions and the relationship among the different operating variables.

With major advances in computational techniques for solving complex multistage separation equations, a variety of simulation programs have emerged that allow accurate and efficient prediction of multistage separation processes. These are valuable and effective tools, but are often hampered by a lack of understanding of the fundamentals and limitations of prediction techniques. The author addresses these problems and pursues a strategy that decouples the discussion of conceptual analysis and the computational techniques.

Although Dr. Khoury presents mathematical methods in detail, he gives special attention to keeping the practical interpretation of the models in focus and emphasizes intuitive understanding. He applies graphical techniques and shortcut methods wherever possible and includes industrial practice heuristics about the ranges of operating variables that will work.
With its updates and the addition of more than 100 new applications problems and solutions, Predicting the Performance of Multistage Separation Processes, Second Edition is ideal for a methodical study of separation processes and as a reference for the fundamental principles and shortcuts useful to the working professional.
