Description
Design and Simulation of Conventional and Complex Distillation Systems serves as a comprehensive guide to the design of conventional and complex distillation processes with a unique combination of conceptual design methods and validations via rigorous simulations, including visual descriptions and videos of simulation tasks. The book provides a comprehensive overview of both conventional and complex distillation systems, covering the fundamental principles, design methodologies, and simulation techniques required to effectively analyze and optimize. Users will find conceptual design methods for different types of distillation systems with validation steps that follow using rigorous simulations, as well as detailed explanations and illustrative examples.
It will be an invaluable guide chemical engineering students, researchers, and professionals who seek to deepen their understanding of distillation processes and enhance their knowledge to design and simulate efficient and modern distillation systems.
