1.- Introduction
Process Design vs. Product Design: Chemical Engineering Design
Successful product and process design are based on a uniform set of
engineering design strategies.
The initial design analysis of a product design problem identifies constraints
on physical and chemical properties, (e.g., the product must be an
azeotrope, or must be emulsified in water, or must retain its flexibility even
after years of UV exposure).
These constraints are used to generate design candidates that may have
different compositions and possibly different forms.
The composition, form, and physical properties of each of these product
candidates determines the required processing operations for its
production, (e.g., the product must be coated, the liquid components must
be mixed with emulsifier at high speed, or various additives must be
blended into product).
Economic, environmental, health, and safety analyses must be performed on
the product and process to provide metrics for evaluating between
alternatives and ultimately deciding if the design is viable.

* REFRIGERANT DESIGN
Problem: Refrigerant that absorb heat at low T in evaporator an reject heat at T from the
condenser without ozone depletion potential.
Product-Quality specifications (Constraints): Pv (T), hvap
Objective Function: Minimize the sum of squares of the differences between the estimates
and the specified Pv (T), hvap properties.
Solutions: [SF2] and [CH3CHF2]
* SOLVENT DESIGN
Problem: Dissolve dried ink in a lithographic printing process with small latent heat of
vaporization short drying time, low utility cost of vaporization, non flammable.
Product-Quality specifications (Constraints): D, P, H, Kow, Tb, Tm
Objective Function: minimize heat vaporization to reduce drying time and cost of heating
utilities
Solutions: Methyl ethyl cetone, Diethylketone, Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether

MIXTURES
Chemical products: mainly mixtures not pure compounds.
Problem Statement: Given a set of chemicals and a specific
set of property constraints, determine a mixture of the
chemicals that meets these properties
Small quantities easier to manage, less expensive, but difficult to
predict properties after mixing.
Mixtures properties have non-linear relationships to individual
components properties.
