To the Almighty father for providing us with the abundance of nature, so that human beings can further develop and make use of the many things in nature for our well-being and for the world.

To all process/chemical engineers worldwide utilizing this abundance of nature for the good of mankind.

Keep the heart of your thoughts pure, by so doing you will bring peace and be happy

To honour God in all things and to perform everything solely to the glory of God

Abd-ru-shin (In the Light of Truth)

A. Kayode Coker

“I am always obliged to a person who has taught me a single word.”

In memory of my late father and to my respected family for their endless support

To engineers and scientists for their commitment to inclusion and sustainability

R. Sotudeh-Gharebagh

An increased use of computational resources by engineers has greatly expedited the design of equipment and process plants in refining, and the chemical process industries. In addition, the availability of commercial and open source process simulation packages, and spreadsheets has drastically reduced the requirement of programming with high-level languages, such as BASIC, C, C++, COBOL, Java, FORTRAN and Pascal. Situations may arise where a simulation package is not readily available, too expensive or of a limited scope, in this case, hands-on tools; e.g. spreadsheets could be used to review other alternatives or develop specific programs. Furthermore, the simulation packages can be integrated with spreadsheets to enlarge their scope to equipment and process design due to the infrastructure they provide on component databases, physical property estimations and unit operations.

A text-book, including the theory with equations, tables, and figures and the use of advanced tools is not readily available to the process designer. Our aim in preparing this text is to present theory, along with Excel spreadsheet and UniSim Design software programs for solving a wide range of design problems. The book will, therefore, benefit chemical/process engineers, students, technologists and practitioners in the petroleum, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, biochemical and fine chemical industries. The structured approaches are provided that can be used to solve a wide range of process engineering problems and thus analyze and simulate process equipment regularly.
