Скачать или смотреть Process Engineering: Balances, Diagrams, and Metrics [Explainer]

This video offers a comprehensive overview of fundamental concepts in chemical process analysis. It begins by introducing unit operations as the basic building blocks of chemical processes and explains how various engineering flow diagrams, such as Block Flow Diagrams (BFDs) and Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), are used to visualize and communicate these operations at different levels of detail. The document then establishes the conservation of mass as the governing principle for quantitative analysis, elaborating on the general balance equation and its simplification under steady-state and non-reactive conditions. Finally, it discusses key performance metrics for separation processes, including purity, recovery, and separation factor (relative volatility), culminating in a case study of a distillation column to integrate these principles.
