As the title indicates, the course provides the student with the basics principles of equipment design followed by application of well known chemical engineering computer design software such Chem CAD and HYSIS. Topics to be covered include chemical storage tank design a focus on high pressure vessels, cylindrical vessels, spherical methods of fabrication, and materials of construction, and reasons for vessels’ failure. A second design on Heat Exchanger (HE) will be followed. Students will learn how to determine the design parameter, how to calculate the heat exchanger area, optimum design of pipes in the heat exchanger with their layout, calculation the pressure drop of the HE. Finally the course will be ended with the design of a multi- component distillation column. Mass and Hydrodynamic
