5. Design of unit operations and processes
The design of unit operations and processes requires consideration of numerous phenomena: thermodynamic properties, material properties, mass transfer coefficients, kinetic laws, and so on. In this section, we focus, on the one hand, on equipment that integrates all of these properties to calculate performance, and, on the other hand, on units that combine this equipment within a process structure.
5.1 Equipment Models
Equipment modeling is a fundamental and traditional practice in process engineering. The choice between a phenomenological approach and a systems-based approach is already a standard consideration in engineering practice, depending not only on requirements for representativeness, explainability, and extrapolability, but also on the availability...
