An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design, Second Edition, covers plant layout, the use of spreadsheet programs, and key drawings produced by professional engineers as aids to design-all topics typically learned on the job rather than in education. Readers will learn how to produce smarter plant design through the use of computer tools, including Excel and AutoCAD, "What If Analysis", statistical tools and Visual Basic for more complex problems. The book also includes a wealth of selection tables, covering the key aspects of professional plant design which engineering students and early-career engineers tend to find most challenging.
