The mechanical design of shell and tube heat exchanger(STHE) is critical in industrial applications. Basically the design is based on ASME codes and TEMA standards. A proper design of STHE helps in modifying the davit assembly for easy cleaning purposes. A good design is important for easier maintenance and improved efficiency. This book is intended to consolidate the basic concept of design and theoretical relationships useful in the design of heat exchangers. This book addresses several important issues such as design, installation, testing and maintenance. This book covers the topics such...

ChemCAD is a chemical engineering process simulation software package. This program enables the user to design process flowsheet diagrams(PFD), regulate and edit virtually every aspect about it including feed compositions and equipment parameters. More complicated function of this program includes pipe sizing, pricing, establishing crude assays, and formulating control strategies. One will find that the chief advantage in using this program or any other process simulation software is the avoidance of the nuisance of having to perform countless series of tedious and often repeatative...

The concern about global warming effects by continuous exploitation of non renewable fossil fuels and scarcity of electricity generation accelerates the urge for searching alternative source of energy. Development of Microbial fuel cell using microbes present in waste water is the novel approach to treat this hurdle. Apart from biopower generation, it acts as a biosensor. Microbes metabolizes the organic matter present in waste water during the process electricity is generated. Within course of time the wastewater is treated with Chlorella vulgaris for the removal of phosphate for about...
