Process Design of Petrochemical plants II

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. manually design and scale-up jacketed vessels and shell-and-tube heat exchangers; 2. use pinch analysis to targeting minimum energy requirement for a process; 3. design heat exchanger networks with minimum energy target; 4. use computer-aided process design; 5. scale-up pumps and pipe networks 6. design and carry out plant layouts using computer software; and 7. design in group simple petrochemical plant with manual and computer software; * It is expected that 2hrs every week should be used by students to learn how to use software such as CHEMCAD, HYSYS for simple calculations based on the content of this course.

Reasons for scale-up and basic principles. Heat exchanger system. Design and scale-up of jacketed vessels and shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Fluid flow system: scale-up of pumps and pipe networks for laminar and turbulent flow Liquid-mixing systems. General principles of scale-up and the use of pilot plant data. Optimization of plant dimensions, operating conditions, and the economics of alternatives. Plant layout of petrochemical plant. Design codes and standards, design information, and databases for heat exchanger designs. Plant Costing. Computer software packages required (ASPEN HYSYS, ASPEN PLUS, PV ELITE). PRE: PCE 413
