The fourth edition enhanced eBook update of Product and Process Design Principles contains many new resources and supplements including new videos, quiz questions with answer-specific feedback, and real-world case studies to support student comprehension. Product and Process Design Principles covers material for process design courses in the chemical engineering curriculum—demonstrating how process design and product design are interlinked and their importance for modern applications. Presenting a systematic approach, this fully-updated new edition describes modern strategies for the design of chemical products and processes. The text presents two parallel tracks—product design and process design—which enables instructors to easily show how product designs lead to new chemical processes and, alternatively, teach product design as separate course. Divided into five parts, the fourth edition begins with a broad introduction to product design followed by a comprehensive introduction to process synthesis and analysis. Succeeding chapters cover the products and processes of design synthesis, design analysis, and design reports. The final part of the book presents ten case studies which look at product and process designs such as for Vitamin C tablets, conductive ink for printed electronics, and home hemodialysis devices. Effective pedagogical tools are thoroughly and consistently implemented throughout the text.
